I shook my head. "No, I am just in my second year. I have one more year to go; I can't just get expelled." The word

"expelled" meant a lot to me.

It meant I wouldn't be able to attend any other academy for a while since no one would like to take me in. The only way an academy would take me in was if I shifted packs.

Mother would never accept that, and I'll probably stay at home till the goddess knows when.

Wait a minute, Mrs. Lau doesn't have the right to throw me out of the school whenever she wants.

My face hardened as I gazed at her. "You have been acting suspicious and almost attacked the Alpha in the hallway.

Care to tell me why I am being expelled?" I better speak up for myself and not mind if Kyle is listening. I would only earn his respect this way.

Mrs. Lau folded her hands in front of her. She seemed serious. "Naya, you are a nuisance to this school. You made our Aloha go on the mic for you. He announced you were under the care of the manor, and we de not do that here. You are ruining the reputation of our school by calling it a place of bullying."

I scoffed, pointing my hands to Kyle, who remained impassive to whatever she was saying. He looked rather calm. He never once averted his cold gaze from Mrs. Lau. It only confirmed to me that there must be some foul play in all of this. Mrs. Lau wasn't the one to play fair, of course She has shown me that in my dealings with her over the years-sitting with Brooke over her silly behavior and still calling me out on mine.

I never did anything wrong! As a matter of fact, Kyle was the one who chose to go to the media room and tell everyone he liked me. I knew what he was doing-trying to protect me-but it seems things will only get worse from here.

"I didn't go to the media room. He did."

"It was all about you. He isn't denying it."

"Why are you doing this?" I was genuinely curious since I have been living low and invisible, never causing trouble.

Why now?

Mrs. Lau chuckled lowly. "Why am I doing this? I am doing this to get rid of unnecessary people in our school. I have tolerated you because of the Alpha's, and now I would not.

It's time you go." She turned to Kyle. "I'll bear the consequences."

That prompted Kyle to raise an eyebrow at her.

"Consequences? What consequences?" His voice was low and dark. I could feel the anger coming out of him in waves. Kyle glanced at the door. It was shut tight. Then he smirked. "Tell me, Mrs. Lau, what consequences can you bear?"

Mrs. Lau gulped audibly, and I had a feeling Kyle and I were not thinking the same thing. What are they talking about now? "It is my duty as Dean."

"I know you are a spy."

Mrs. Lau gasped in shock as she drew her chair back a bit.

"What do you mean, a spy?"

Kyle clicked the roof of his tongue in anger. "I didn't. Your reaction just confirmed it."

Mrs. Lau cleared her throat in an embarrassing manner as she tried to compose herself. "I am still me."

Kyle raised his index finger, waggling it to make a point.

"No, no, no. You were calm ever since, but once I mentioned this, you changed. You are paying for the blood moon pack, and you have something for me. You want to take Naya out of the picture." Kyle began to walk around her desk, sitting on it a few inches away from her. "Who told you Naya has powers? Who promised you me?"

Mrs. Lau shot up from her chair, and I could see her finger nails. They were turning into sharp claws, but she folded her fists instead. Her claws dug into her skin. Reddish drops filled the floor, but Kyle didn't bother to smell them.

He acted like she wasn't harming herself to stop herself from harming him.

I knew it was because he could rip off her head from where she stood.

"Every time I come across people like you, people without loyalty to their pack, How dare you try to touch me? Did you think if you took Naya out of the picture, you could take her powers and own me?"

My eyes widened at his last statement. Was that possible?

I was capable of compulsion. I paused, trying to remember those inspectors who later helped me escape from the blood moon pack.

"I didn't think about anything." She took a step back. "I just knew that I had to take Naya out of the school and out of your protection. You listened to me talk, so you'll have to die after this." She was staring at me now.

I swallowed. Hard.

She cackled mockingly. "You don't even know how to control your powers. Then why did you try to escape him?

He has managed to unite the twelve packs and is counting.

What makes you think we won't join him too?"

I felt a pang of pain as I realized who she was talking about. "Was that why you let him into the school and made him get closer to me and act like a b*itch the remaining time?"

"You are the bitch." Mrs. Lau spat. It was awkward and odd to see a fourth-year-old woman talk to me like she was a badass under all those nerdy glasses. "I said I didn't do anything. I let him in, and boom, you gave it to him like koth to flame. The both of you are destined to be together, like father and daughter." She gave me a pointed look, one I didn't like very much because of how uncomfortable and scrawly it made my skin feel.

"Shut up!" I screamed in anger.

No. I admit we were close like father and daughter the first time, but not anymore. He asked his monsters to get my f*vcking heart, like it was something they could go to the grocery store and fetch. I was a lively, breathing thing, and he asked those strange things to take my heart.

He wanted me dead, so no. We would never have that relationship in Mrs. Lau's deranged mind. The only relationship we would be having is the killing-and-killing relationship. He even tried to murder my friends for no reason!

That's the last straw, and all he ever did for me during the monster attack faded completely. To be honest, Zeke and Kyle, my boys, did a better job at protecting me than him.

Kyle was at my side in a second as I heaved in anger. "Font, you dare out I and that man in the same space. I knew you were not to be trusted." I spat bitterly.

Kyle straightened up. It was funny how we acted in the presence of an experienced wolf who had lived hundreds of years in our realm. I only counted her age based on her looks. She was way older than Shadow and I.

I wasn't even going to compare. She flexed her fingers, and it made a slashing sound. Her cakes were fully out and dangerous. A predator's smile filled her cheeks.

"I told you this story of my own accord. I have to kill you now."

"No." Kyle said, shrugging. "It just shows how much of a lousy servant you are. I mean, what if you underestimated us? What if we were stronger than you?"

Mrs. Lau cackled again, like a proud bird. Her neck was raised high to the heavens, like she was the most beautiful bird. If only I could imagine her neck exploding into a million pieces. I quickly shook my head before the purple lady decided to make do with my imagination. "I fought three monsters myself. If you think that fighting a monster makes you strong, think again."

I frowned. "Are you planning to kill him too?" I turned to Kyle beyond confusion. "Didn't you say she has the hots for you?"

He shook his head, making me wonder why. "She does.

She is talking about you, Naya, and taunting me. She knows I can't kill her suddenly, and she can't kill me; we do not have proof of her spying acts."

"Talk about me like I am not here." Mrs. Lau dragged her sharp claws across the table. Each scratch made my heart rate increase, despite Kyle being here with me.

If she was offended that we spoke to her like she wasn't here, I wanted to make her seem even more insignificant.

This was all puzzling, but I fear losing my life to this woman.

The question was: Kyle knew this was going to happen, so why did he ask me to follow him into her office-the place of my death? Goddess, help me.
