Naya

"This is plainly childish, and we all know it. Now I wonder if drama with Kyle is better than drama with Zeke." Naya muttered as we both watched Kyle bicker back and forth with Mrs. Lau. One would think they were playing a dangerous game. "Enough!" Kyle thundered, causing me to flinch and take a step back.

Mrs. Lau wasn't ready to back down. "I am not the one you should attack; you're listening; I have to eliminate you."

"Shut the f*vck up." Kyle waved her words to the side. It was really pathetic. I mean the way she said it. "I don't want to hurt you, Mrs. Lau. There are people here."

Mrs. Lau sighed. "I am not supposed to do this. I don't want to hurt you. I only want her out of the picture. I want her out!" She screeched.

I glanced anxiously at the back. Wasn't anyone listening to our conversation? I sniffed the air. I was right. Yes, some students were certainly outside listening.

Kyle turned to the door. It was as if he was contemplating something. But he shook his head. "No. I don't want to." He whispered to himself, which earned him a confused look from Mrs. Lau

"I am sorry. Were you talking to me?" She asked haughtily.

I knew he was talking to his wolf. But what about?

"You know what? I have decided to let you be." Kyle said with a final look.

My eyes widened as I glared at him. Wasn't he going to protect me or something? "Wait, what are you doing?"

Kyle took some steps back, shocking the hell out of me.

What was he expecting me to do?

I didn't know when he came closer to me, breathing hotly down my neck. "I underestimated Mrs. Lau. Let me tell you what is happening here." He raised his index finger to Mrs.

Lau to tell her to hold on. That was disrespectful and mocking to me.

I snorted silently. I mean, who snorts silently?

"Zeke wanted me to invite Mrs. Lau into the manor today.

When I confronted her, she said she wasn't going to attend.

I accepted and made my way to the media room to make an announcement without her authorization. Guess who was pissed off? She was." Kyle chuckled at my hearing alone. "Like I told you earlier, she is a spy for the blood moon pack; she wants your heart for power. Don't let her take it."

I frowned. "So she said a lot of things she wasn't supposed to say because she knew she would have to attack, and at the end, you would protect me, therefore confirming if we are mates. Now that you have stepped back, you want me to challenge her head on?" It was baffling and hilarious. How did we get to this point where we all wanted to attack each other? Except Kyle chose to step back instead of protecting me. He was trying to prove Mrs. Lau wrong-to protect me or what?

"You know I cannot protect myself. I do not know what this game is, but you have to leave me out of it." I gritted. I was about to turn away when Kyle held me tightly.

"Pull yourself together. Like I said, this isn't about me. This is about you! She can't fight me, and she knows that well, but she can fight you because words have spread to her that you are an elder who is weak. Don't you see that she knows about your powers?" I blinked. He was right. I was just trying to hide behind him, but he knew and pulled away; there was no cover. "But you have to protect me. Don't let her kill me."

My hair fell to the front, and I left it because it hid the tears that threatened to pour out of my eyes. I froze when Kyle reached out to brush the strands of my hair behind my ear.

"Listen, Naya, I need you to trust me," Kyle said, his voice low and urgent. "I won't let her lay a finger on you. But right now, we need to play this smart. I can't protect you if I'm tangled in a fight with her. You said she had the hots for me. I have a reason for doing all of this."

What is a probable reason? Was I allowed to fight a centuries-old wolf so that I could control my powers? I couldn't even tackle my colleague, Elder Freya! This was beyond me, and he knew it. I swallowed hard, trying to compose myself. There was no point in showing fear. If I wanted to be Luna soon, these were the types of threats I would face. I shouldn't hide behind Kyle and Zeke all the time. "What are we supposed to do then?"

"Let her think she's won," Kyle whispered. "But the moment she tries anything, I'll step in. Were playing a dangerous game, and I need you to stay strong."

"Okay?" I nodded hesitantly, still unsure about the plan.

Were we to go outside to scruffle or what? Were we going to do this in the office? Really? What the f*vck was going on?

Kyle turned to face Mrs. Lau, who was watching us with a triumphant smirk. She was ready to unleash her anger on me.

"You see, Kyle, she's just as weak as I said she was. can't even stand up for herself." Mrs. Lau mocked.

"Enough of your games, Mrs. Lau," Kyle retorted, his eyes narrowing. "But you're wrong; Naya is strong; you are doing this because I am allowing you to." So this was really about me. Oh.

Mrs. Lau's gaze shifted between us, a calculating glint in her eyes. "Well then, let's see just how strong she is. We are doing this right here, right now."

Kyle shook his head. "No, the field or sports hall. You choose. We can't jeopardize the safety of the students."

She rolled her eyes. "Always the Alpha, huh? Your brother is the real deal. You are nothing to me."

"But you love me!" Kyle cackled mockingly as he unlocked the door. "Come Naya."

I followed, and I followed fast. Mrs. Lau did the same. She didn't waste a second. Immediately after Kyle opened the door, Tim, Sam, and Vic nearly fell into the room. I should have known it would be them.

I expected Kyle to be angry at their eavesdropping. His eyes brightened instead.

"Great! You are coming with us too."

They all exchanged glances. "Where?"

They were playing dumb. Well, if they were playing dumb, guess who was dumber? Kyle. To me, he seemed overly happy. Happy I would die? Come to think of it, Zeke and Kyle were not afraid of putting me in harm's way. Like the day at the Blood Moon Pack? During the attack...

Yeah. I do not feel like relishing that memory.

We got to the sports hall quickly. That was because of Mrs.

Lau's enthusiasm. As for me, I nearly sh*t my pants thinking about fighting Mrs. Lau. And where was Naya?

That weakling has gone to hide!

Sam, Tim, and Vic were unusually chatty, unlike lunch time.

They stared ahead, like they were all on a mission. Except they were not getting their asses handed to them by Mrs.

Lau.

"Why are they here?" Mrs. Lau asked, turning abruptly to face Tim, Sam, and Vic.

"Witnesses." Kyle simply said. "You need someone to acknowledge your victory, don't you?"

"Oh, I see what Kyle is doing here. He is bruising her ego!" Naya said after a while.

I rolled my eyes. "No sh*t, genius."

"Don't use that tone on me. I am the one fighting her, not you." Naya's voice trembled.

I sighed. "Both of us. I bear the pain and bruises."

She was quiet after that, and I faced Mrs. Lau. I was barely given any time before she advanced toward me. Fear nearly paralyzed me. She flung her heels to the side, halfway to me. I felt vulnerable without Kyle by my side. I glanced at him, silently pleading for reassurance. He nodded subtly, signaling for me to trust him.

So he was going to leave me alone in this fight.

Mrs. Lau raised her hand, ready to strike, and I closed my eyes, bracing for impact. However, nothing happened. I cautiously opened my eyes to see Mrs. Lau frozen in place, a look of shock on her face.

"You said I could fight her! Why are you interfering?" She screamed in anger.

I sniffed around to notice that other students had gathered around the doors and were trying to listen. Words got around pretty quick. As werewolves, we could hear ourselves from afar.

Kyle stood beside her. His eyes were ablaze with intense anger. I took some steps backward when he chose that moment to change into Shadow. Shadow didn't look like a happy wolf. He snarled at Mrs. Lau, his fangs bared in a feral display. "You thought you could touch her?" Kyle growled, his voice deep and wicked.

"You have made a mistake."

gasped in shock as he squeezed her arms, and she yelped in agony. Then I turned to Tim, Sam, and Vic. They were so calm, watching.

They were in on this too.

I was the only clueless one.
