Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 15

"So it was you." Laughter escaped my lips like a maniac. "You did it. You photoshopped my picture and pasted it on all the walls for everyone to see." I was about to continue when a student walked into the restroom. He did his thing while eying me and Brooke. Yes, what were the both of us doing in the men's room? Brooke probably came here to f**k Kyle, while I was here to f**k both of them up.

Kyle raised his hands to stop me. "Whoa... relax. I didn't do anything. I suggest you..."

"Oh, come on. Don't lie to my face. I know it was you." There was nothing he would tell me that would make me believe him. After the stunt he pulled the other night? I was trying to help him, but he made it look as if I seduced him while he slept. I mean, who does that s**t? If it sounded romantic, it wasn't to me.

Kyle wasn't having any of it. Seriously, I wondered why he was panicking so much when all I did was ask him why he did so. I knew I looked like a b***h right now-wide-eyed and hungry for the blood of whoever did this to me. "It wasn't me! I wouldn't stoop that low."

I scoffed. "Yeah, right! You expect me to believe that? Well, guess what? I'm not falling for your excuses!" I raised my hands before thinking, bringing them down by the side of his face. "That's for messing with me." God! It stung! It hurts really bad. However, I was good at hiding my emotions, so I managed to swallow the pain in my right hand. His face was made of stone, I swear. He barely flinched!

I nearly winced at the prints of my fingers on his face. Not waiting for him to recover, I grabbed Kyle and pulled him towards me, demanding answers. But before I could do anything else, Brooke intervened, pulling me by my hair.

I screamed, attracting attention. Even a toddler would connect the dots. The sound of the slap wasn't exactly silent. Everyone heard, and of course we're stunned at my audacity.

Do they want to know my audacity? It's to replace out who placed my picture out there just to humiliate me. I have barely recovered from the monster attack, only to see this. Besides, I am Miss Bait, and everyone is aware of this fact. Can't they all leave me alone?! "What the hell? Let go of him!" Brooke tugged at my short hair, making me yelp in pain.

"Stay out of this. Your boyfriend betrayed me, and I'm not letting him get away with it!" I yelled, pulling at her own hair, to which she cried out in pain. I didn't know I had this much fight in me. My wolf gets a bit stronger, especially when she is driven by her emotions. Brooke picked the wrong day to mess with me.

"Oh, please! Like I'm going to believe anything you say. You're just causing drama and trying to make trouble." She dragged me to the hallway, and I wondered where the hell the teachers were.

"Cod, Bentley, go to the principal's office now!" Mrs. Lau screamed in anger.

Everyone began to snicker at my disheveled hair. I already had short hair. It was worse than Brooke's perfect ones.

"What are you looking at?" I growled at Darren, who seemed shocked. I knew I would pay for my bad behavior later.

"Naya Cod, step aside for your punishment." Mrs. Lau muttered, glancing at me through her glasses. "You have been in trouble more times than I can count." She sighed, bringing out a big register. Then she turned to Brooke. "And you. I expected less from you. Fighting in the hallway is prohibited, and you know it."

There were other things that were prohibited, like kissing in the hallway, having s*x, rubbing bodies sensually, and bullying. But no. It was lost on Mrs. Lau, who chose to pick us off because I was among them. The last time Darren tried to bully me, she passed by us like I was invisible. Just great.

"What about bullying?" I shook my head. "Let me guess, it's to make us tougher, right? This b***h right here is the orchestrator. Don't turn a blind eye, Mrs. Lau." I defended myself. I didn't want to end up in detention with Brooke. She might end up killing me or something while no one watches.

"She dragged my hair first. I and Kyle were just having fun, and she came from nowhere."

I turned to her hotly. "Maybe you can explain what you were doing in the all-boy restroom."

Brooke's jaw dropped in shock. "What the f**k?"

"Language!" Mrs. Lau warned in a stern voice. She must have had our cussing up to her throat. "It's okay. Both of you can have your seats. Her eyes were still on Brooke. "I understand why you are aggressive today, Brooke. Your father hasn't been on land, and I know it is taking its toll on you."

I was taken aback. "I lost my dad here! Hello... I live with crazy people. My mother left me for another family." I wanted to say these things, but I kept my mouth shut. Yeah, let her take all the pity today. I have always been pathetic.

"I am sorry, Mrs. Lau." Brooke said this with a mask on. That wasn't her real identity. She was just messing with Mrs. Lau's eyes. I can't believe what I am seeing. "Please refrain, Naya here, from laying false accusations on me. I hardly cause trouble, and you know it." My eyes nearly popped out. "What?"

Mrs. Lau's kind expression changed when she turned it on me. "I asked the board several times why they would allow a lowly omega wolf in this academy, but they never listened. Look, I don't know what you have on the Alpha because he allowed this, but you need to be careful. I can dispose of you if I want. Don't test me."

I shrugged. "So what? I am a lowly omega. Is that what the problem is?"

Mrs. Lau shook her head. "You are not just a lowly omega, but a useless one. I am sure the storms have given you an opportunity to make yourself useful."

I chuckled bitterly, turning to Brooke. "Let me understand the bait thing. Is that what you said Marley was going to fill me up with?"

The confusion was evident on her face. "Marley?"

I nearly facepalmed at my stupidity. "I meant the Luna."

"Yeah. Prepare yourself, you loser!"

"Kyle told you about it." I asked venomously. That boy was getting on my nerves more and more. Whatever persuaded me into thinking he might like me a bit? It was ridiculous thinking! She folded her hands across her chest. "He tells me everything. Like what goes on with you."

I cackled. "And you don't replace it suspicious? You don't replace it suspicious that he knows everything about me?" I was insinuating something I would never take back once she found out.

Brooke paused for a moment. I guess she's heard that I was dropped off at school today by the Storm's driver. Hell, I rode with them. "I have thought..."

It was funny the way she stuttered. I see why she loved bullying me. When Brooke, Darren, and the rest of them bullied me, I usually felt a sense of powerlessness and helplessness. This was because I was the only omega wolf in the Academy. The pheromones to submit always got to me. The feeling has always been intimidating, causing me to either feel afraid, angry, or upset.

However, the roles have reversed just now. The satisfaction her stuttering gave me made me feel like I had power. This feeling of power came from the belief that the balance of control had shifted and Brooke was finally facing the consequences of her actions. It diminished the moment it came. I could never be evil. But I can be sarcastic.

"It's alright, Brooke Bentley. You don't need to know." I turned to Mrs. Lau, who was watching me curiously. "Mrs. Lau, are you giving me detention or what?"

"Not today." She sighed. "Someone told me not to for no reason at all. Count yourself lucky."

I frowned. "How did that person know that I would be here today?" Maybe it was inevitable that I would enter into a fight with either Brooke or Kyle. Fights I wouldn't win. Jeez.

Brooke huffed. "Mrs. Lau, that's impossible. She must be punished for making me like this!"

I rolled my eyes. She seemed perfect to me. "Well, someone has paid the price for me. I don't have to be detained. Can I go now?"

Mrs. Lau was flustered. She didn't expect the way I talked to her. My boldness these days is beginning to shock me.

Maybe my wolf recognized that someone would back me up.
