Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 9

"Everyone wake up!" Mr. Diego yelled, waking everyone up from sleep.

"Mr. Diego, I want to go home." Someone sighed as he woke up. We looked like we had just escaped from an asylum.

Mr. Diego nodded in agreement. "And you will go home. You just need to be a little patient. The Alpha is coming for you all soon."

Kyle scoffed in annoyance. "I don't want him coming here to save our asses. We can take care of ourselves." He raised his healed hand for all to see. "See? We are f*****g wolves, not humans who cower and hide in places like this. We should go out and do something."

Mr. Diego was about to say something when his phone began to ring. His face held satisfaction, like he had just heard the best news ever. "They are here already." He eyed Kyle, or rather, me. His eyes lingered on me for much longer before he sighed. "You are not going anywhere until I say so. I am going out now to check the extent of the damage, and I want to see you all here by the time I get back." He eyed everyone of us suspiciously before walking out of the classroom door.

I turned to the class, expecting them to pounce on me with their words, but most of them acted like I was invisible, wrapping up their sleeping bags with worried looks on their faces.

Some of them even had tears in their eyes.

That shifted something in me. Why do we have to cower in fear just because some monsters chose the wrong day to raid the school? It took the Alpha a day and a half to get to us! Not only that, his children were there. Or did he suppose that they would protect the whole school?

My eyes widened as an idea crossed my mind. "What if this was all a test?"

"What?" A boy asked. I was sure it was a boy. Just then, Zeke walked in with a lazy swag that made me nearly forget what I wanted to say. Memories of last night ran through my mind. His piercing gaze wasn't helping matters. There he stood with his hands in his pockets, staring me down with those lusty eyes of his.

It was as if they beckoned for me to come closer.

I quickly averted my gaze from the class, which had been silent and staring at me ever since I spoke my thoughts. I have been doing that lately. Yes, I'm saying my silly thoughts aloud.

"It might be a test. We are f*****g wolves, Kyle said. "I didn't look at him for support when I said that, but I could feel both brothers boring a hole in my head with those lazy eyes. "We should go out and check out the situation by ourselves."

"But Mr. Diego just made himself clear that he wouldn't like us to do that s**t, Brawn." Someone spat from the corner.

I scoffed, eying him up and down. "Then you can stay here and keep being a wimp." My mouth was going to put me in trouble one day because, right now, he seized me with his eyes, and they told me I wasn't to be compared physically with him.Posted by Narugi.com "Say that again, b***h!" He dared with a sneer.

I puffed my shoulders, daring him. I wish I was this daring when classes resumed. Or maybe the guilt of being here made me take all their s**t. "If you stay back, you are a wimp."

His eyes bulged, and I could practically see the flames of anger on his head. By now, the students had already gathered, snickering and wondering how the daughter of a w***e suddenly gained courage. It comes once in a while. He raised his hands to slap me while I closed my eyes. Wrong move, I know.

Feeling nothing, I opened my eyes to see Zeke holding his hands. "I don't accept what she said, but we are all trying to survive here. You don't beat a woman just because she called you a wimp. It only makes you a wimp. That's what you are, a wimp!" I nearly choked on my spit. Defense moments like this were rare.

The boy flung Zeke's hands away. "I don't give a s**t. She started it first. And when did you start protecting the little miss w***e here?" He glanced at his people for support, and they egged him on.

Remember when I said Zeke was unpredictable? I didn't expect what he did next. And no, he didn't do it in my favor. He turned to me slowly.

He wanted to do the same thing Kyle did to me. Humiliate me. "I am not protecting her. She is a w***e's daughter, so I should know." He leaned closer in the most sensual manner. His breath fanned my ears, and my breasts pressed against his chest, causing an electric sensation to run down my spine. "You know why I am doing this. I am sorry."

Then, with force, he slapped my right cheek. The sound re-echoed in the classroom, and the students gasps mingled with it.

I couldn't feel anything. It hurt. It f*****g hurt so much.

"That's the Zeke I know." The boy grinned at a frowning Zeke. "Now, are we doing this or not?"

I didn't know how long I stood there with tears in my eyes until I felt something warm tapping my face. I narrowed my eyes to see it was my silk scarf, and before I could utter a thank you, the person left just as quickly as he came.

I sniffed the air.

That smelled like Kyle's perfume.

What is wrong with the Storm brothers? Why do they keep confusing me? My knees dropped to the floor. The hard floor scraped the surface, and I watched it as it bled. I couldn't feel anything. The confidence I had earlier has been replaced with confusion and dread. "Naya, what are you doing? Come on, let's go. Everyone is at the gate." Renee called gently. She had watched Zeke hurt me and couldn't do anything about it. What could she do? I raised my eyes to see everyone had gone, and their sleeping bags were neatly returned to where we took them.

I could see her frown when that boy threatened me. Yet she didn't butt in. What the hell do all of them want from me? "Go on, Renee. I will be fine. No one is waiting for me anyway."

Renee stood awkwardly at the door. "Er... The Alpha is asking of you. The parents are gathered at the gates. You should come."

Wiping my tears, I waved her off. "Go away, Renee. I have no one, and no one is coming for me."

Her hands grabbed my arm before I could even protest; she held me up. "Look, I have no right to talk to you about the Alpha, but I just know he is not one of the people you should mess with."

Of course, he is one of them. "Is Mr. Diego there?"

Renee shook her head. "No. I heard he went to attend to other matters. The whole sight isn't pleasant. So come with me and don't stay here."

I yanked my arm away. "Why? Why are you pretending to be nice to me? It's rather funny; I know your name like we are friends, which we are f*****g not." It was harsh, I know, but Zeke's slap was like a reality check for me. I should stay away from the Storm brothers for now.

Renee didn't look one bit offended. In fact, she grinned. "I am nobody. You are the most popular girl in school for the wrong reasons." She still stared at me so that I would do the mathematics. "The most popular girl in school doesn't have friends, and I chose to be her friend so that I would be popular. How perfect is that?"

I had intended to snort but didn't stop it when it came out in full-blown laughter. "Goodness, that was an awful joke. It looks like we have a lot in common, Renee."

She didn't look surprised that I knew her name. She nodded knowingly. "Naya. Let's go."

The hallways were still the same as when I left them earlier, but this time they weren't as quiet. The voices of students and their parents could be heard, and I wondered what the commotion was.

Renee had a worried look on her face. "It wasn't this noisy when I left. I think the press is here. You should be careful about Darren. That boy will stop at nothing to humiliate you."

Darren was the boy I called a wimp. He never lets things like that slip by. I was tempted to tell her that the Storm brothers would protect me.

They may protect me, but it always comes at a cost.
