Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 5

"Get into your f*****g class now!" One of our teachers-I can't remember his name-yelled like a badass.

We all snapped out of our frozen state, running towards our classrooms as chaos ravaged outside. I couldn't understand. Why, of all times, have these monsters decided to attack a school filled with wolves? They should know that it is highly fortified and that their plans will fail. For them to be able to penetrate, they must have planned their attack very well. It made me wonder, in fear, what else they could do again.

"Shut the door," Brooke whimpered while Kyle and Zeke locked the classroom door tight. She was still latched to Kyle like a f*****g parasite. The rest of them were. The girls ran behind their boyfriends like wimps to shield them from the monster, and I scoffed. I mean, they were all in the same predicament as I was. What could their pathetic boyfriends do? But Kyle and Zeke? With that sexy body of theirs, they would protect any girl at the cost of their lives, and Brooke Bentley appeared to be one of those girls. It's such a pity. Really.

"b***h. I have never seen someone more pathetic than her." Renee spat in anger. She was, however, interrupted by the loud rattling of our classroom door.

My heartbeat increased as the monster peered through the only-view glass on the door. Its red eyeballs scanned the entire room, stopping at me. Then we locked eyes, and the same feeling I felt as though someone was watching me crept up my spine. It didn't help that the students whimpered and cried.

I was among those who whimpered. With just a powerful kick from its hind legs, the door came down. For once, I wished the badass teacher was here to protect the girls who didn't have boyfriends. Up close, its body was something I had never seen before. It was neither a human nor a wolf.

It was a monster, and it launched itself at me before I could say Jack. It was coming for me because I locked eyes with it. I should have turned my gaze down when it... oh my god! Its cutlass-like claws reached for my face and...

"Oh my god," A scream left my lips as I covered my face with my hands. My face was my pride, even if the rest of my body was disappointing. I waited for its sharp claws to tear through my skin and get to my face, but they didn't. Scratch that, I didn't feel a thing. I opened my eyes slowly to replace the twins in front of me. They had already changed into white wolves and were trying to tackle the monster down. Angry growls and roars filled the air. You know what my brain decided to do at that f*****g moment?

Shut down.

"I don't think she is alive. It's better she's dead than put my boyfriend in a dangerous situation! She pressured them to save her life!"

I knew that voice, and it was none other than Brooke Bentley. I shut my eyes tighter so I wouldn't have to wake up to see her greasy face. It would haunt me in my dreams forever. Call me dramatic, but that was how I felt. Her name even tasted odd in my mouth. It was irritating and curled my tongue in places I didn't want it to go.

"Shut up, Brooke, and let me see." It was the voice of the badass teacher! He must be new here or a substitute teacher, because every other teacher was just as monstrous as the monster that tried to attack me. I wondered how Kyle and Zeke were doing. Brooke was right; I placed the both of them in an awkward situation, and as Alphas, they had to save me from whatever that thing was. It was my fault.

My eyes snapped open to see if they were anywhere around. The students who had crowded me were shocked to see me awaken; they had all cleared a path for me.

"How could she faint before the monster got to her?"

"She is pathetic."

"The name of a w***e suits her, not a wolf."

I turned sharply at the last person who said that, prepared to lash out, but the twins were my utmost priority. Where are they? I glanced at every person before I found them at the end of the room, nursing their wounds. Brooke was by their side before I got there. "Don't take a step." She sneered angrily, covering Kyle with her hands. I scoffed. Where was she when the monster attacked? I couldn't recall her annoying voice saving the twins.

I gasped at the shreds of skin I saw hanging from Kyle's arm. He must have raised his hands to take the blow instead. I almost gagged at the thought of my arm being like that. Zeke was worse than I thought, as his side was violently mauled.

In panic, I checked if the monster was still around, but I didn't see anything. The pixie-haired girl came to stand by my side. She had a frown on her face. "Badass teacher here led the rest of the teachers here, and they beat the s**t out of the monster. I don't know how they did it, but the monster broke through the window there." She pointed at our window, which was not the same way I saw it. Glass particles were everywhere. "And left."

That pretty much sums up everything.

I knelt down. The twins weren't looking at me; they were each nursing their wounds. It was my fault. "I-," I began, stopping when Brooke gave me the stink eye.

Pixie girl knelt with me, leaning closer, she whispered. "Don't worry, they heal faster than an average wolf and ten times faster than you. You could be dead by now, so they did the right thing." Then she stood up.

I looked around the classroom to see the teachers going about their business while the maintenance began their work in our classroom. By tomorrow, everything may look like nothing even happened.

It meant that if I died, nothing would change. The thought of that made me realize just how insignificant I was at this school.

"Say what you f*****g want to say, Brawn, or leave us alone!" Kyle snapped at me, causing everyone to look at me irritatedly. I just had to be the one in the spotlight all the time.

"I am sorry!" I yelled too. I mean, everyone was looking at me like I deserved to die, and I totally got it. "Both of you are hurt because of me, and I don't deserve to be alive right now."

Zeke growled, cutting me off. "You are right. You don't deserve to be alive right now, but you are. Now get out of our sight!"

I eyed their injuries, wondering when the medics were going to get here. "But your wounds need attending to." What was Brooke doing that she couldn't even wrap the silly silk scarf around her neck to hide her boyfriend's wounds? I felt my neck, remembering that I had wrapped a scarf around it this morning. In haste, I tore the scarf into two pieces, pulling Kyle's dangling flesh towards me.

Then I wrapped it in one piece, ignoring the warning signs going off in my head that I was doing something that was either going to get me killed by the twins or Brooke Bentley herself. With the second scarf, I dabbed it on Zeke's side, who was just watching me with an unreadable expression on his face. He didn't even wince at the pain.

It made me feel foolish because I knew they were going to heal in minutes, yet I was doing what I was doing. It's going to get me killed.

"Yeah! Do it because you are indebted to them." Brooke said harshly, and it felt like I was a slave doing her bidding instead of helping the boys. Who knew what would have happened if the badass teacher hadn't come in at that point? I didn't want to think about it. "Everyone gather around!" The badass teacher yelled in a loud voice. It commanded respect and Justice, and I involuntarily smiled. Maybe this was someone that I could go to if I felt sad. He and the pixie girl were enough. "We have faced a tragic incident, but thanks to Kyle and Zeke, we have been saved!"

The whole class began to clap, including me. I clapped the loudest, stopping when it felt a bit too much.

"We can't go home now because the school has been barricaded, but what we can do is sleep here in groups. The big and the small. Okay, group yourselves by two." He ordered. The girls ran to their boyfriends.

Soon I was standing in the room alone with Renee.

And we were both small.
