Chapter 29

Emma's POV

I dragged my legs through the hallway with students glaring daggers and whispering nonstop about me. I told myself to just ignore them and act as if nothing happened, but deep down, every word they said felt like it was ripping my heart into two. My eyes were blurry from the tears that clouded my vision. I was walking when suddenly someone bumped into me. I staggered and fell on the floor, all my books in a scattered mess. The coffee he was holding spilled all over my shirt. "Watch it, pig," the student who bumped into me spat.

"Such a loser," his friend said, and stepped all over my books. They all laughed out loud. I stood up from the floor amidst their laughter and started to pick up my books. A scent I know very well suddenly engulfs me.

The hallway grew quiet. I raised my head to meet, and my eyes met with a pair of chocolate brown ones. Philip quietly picked up my books while Alexander helped me up, he brought out his handkerchief and wiped my shirt with it.

"Who did this?" Julian asked with a calm voice, but his eyes held a different tale. The hallway became so quiet that I could have been able to hear a pin drop.

"I said who did this? Have you all gone mute?" he asked again, his gaze sweeping across every single person present.

"You, come over here," Philip beckons to the boy who had intentionally spilled coffee on me. He was still holding his cup. Philip must have noticed that.

He confidently struts towards Philip. He's equally as tall as Philip, so he stood so close to him as if trying not to look intimidated. Philip scoffs in disbelief.

"So, you did this," Julian states, pointing toward my shirt.

"Yes I did," he said confidently, turning to stare at Julian. Julian smiles and nods in understanding. He gestures for a girl standing with a cup of coffee to come over. The girl hurriedly runs over, Julian collected the cup from her anxiously shaky hands and pours the entire content all over the student from his head down to his white shirt.

I gasped and covered my mouth in shock. Everyone was equally as shocked. His friend mutters his name 'Jake' in shock. So, that was his name.

"Let's go, Emma," Philip said and holds my hand to take me along.

"It's not like I did anything wrong anyway," Jake muttered, glaring at me angrily. The boys stopped in their tracks.

"Excuse me?" Alexander uttered, slowly turning towards him.

"You heard what I said. She deserves every single treatment she gets. She's just like her parents, shrewd and dishonest. Why would you defend her" Jake muttered angrily. I turned around and could see everyone nodding their head in agreement. "Say one more word, and you won't live to tell the tale," Julian threatened him in an icy tone.

"What? It's not like I said anything wrong. What do you see in her anyway? I am disappointed in you guys as the sons of the Alpha for being with someone like her, heck, everyone is disappointed. Is this the best you can do?" he said, pointing towards me and staring at me like a garbage can was worth more than I was.

My heart bled. The boys have managed to put me in the spotlight yet again and now, I've become the subject of pure ridicule.

"She's not worth being with you guys, she's not worth you fighting everyone over for, don't you guys remember when we used to torment her together? Huh? The good old days? Nobody wants her here and you being with her and defending her is just a waste of time," he continues confidently, staring at the three angry boys.

"You can't be with her. You...,"

"Seems to me that you don't value your jaw," Alexander sneered and punched him right in the face at an alarming speed. The impact sent him flying toward the lockers, he crashed with a loud bang. Everyone gasped in shock, while some girls screamed in fright. Jake spat out blood from his mouth. His teeth had changed from white to a bloody red and his nose bled, but he continued to speak.

"Beating me up won't change who she is and the kind of shameless background she comes from," he looked at me and snarled, "shameless b***h,"

"You must have a death wish," Alexander growled and lounged at him. He pushed him to the floor and punched him continuously without stopping. I heard bones cracking, and I'm very sure it was from Jake's face. I had a look of horror on my face. "Stop it," I called out in a shaky voice. This amount of violence and blood is just too much for me to take. Alexander didn't hear me, it seemed like he was in another world. He continued landing punch after punch on Jake's face.

Some people were shivering out of fright, while others were recording with their phones.

"Do you all want to get a beating too?" Julian growled and they all quickly dropped their phones. Jake was now laying in a bloody mess, he was coughing and wheezing shakily, but Alexander didn't stop.

"Tell him to stop," I scream at Julian and Philip, who were just standing with nonchalant looks on their faces.

"Tell him to stop, or he's going to die," I yelled, getting frustrated with their behavior.

"If he dies, he deserves it and I will be so glad we managed to get rid of scum like him off the face of the earth," Philip said without moving an inch. Seeing that they wouldn't budge from where they were standing, I hurriedly walked toward Alexander. "Stop!" I yelled at the top of my voice, but he was too far gone in rage to notice I was standing there.

"Stop it Alexander or you will kill him," I screamed, grabbing his arm which was ready to land another punch on the already unconscious Jake. He turned around and raised his hand to hit me. He was panting heavily and had a deadly aura around him, I have never seen him lose control to this extent. I flinched and tried to cover my face with my hands. He seemed to have recognized me, his gaze softened, and he slowly kept his hand down.

I looked down at Jake, he barely looked recognizable anymore, his face and clothes were covered in blood and bruises. I turned around to look at everyone who was staring at me with hate-filled eyes. I picked up my backpack and ran out of the hallway. I heard a teacher asking for Jace to be rushed to the school nurse.

"Emma," I heard the boys calling and running after me.

"Wait," Julian held my hand to stop me from leaving. "He spoke so much nonsense about you, and we could not just let it slide,"

"Nonsense?" I chuckled. "It's funny how the same people who tortured me now call what Jace said nonsense," I said, and Julian lets go of my hand and stares at me. "What? Is it not true? Didn't you do the same thing he just did to me," I muttered. "That was in the past, we've really realized our mistakes now," Philip pleaded.

"Too late for that now, don't you think? I don't need you to be nice to me or try to protect me now, not after everything you've done," I said, running my hand through my disheveled hair.

"Don't you realize that you guys acting like this will only make them hate and pick on me more? Don't you know?" I said, tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

"They wouldn't dare. We won't allow that to happen," Julian replied, trying to grab my arm.

I jerked his hand away and laughed bitterly. "What if you guys are not around? What then?" I asked, staring at them, furiously blinking back the tears that clouded my vision.

"We will always be around, we will protect you," Philip promised.

"That's where the problem is. I don't want you to be around. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to move past all that you have done to me, so please...," I took a deep breath to calm my shaky breaths.

"Please leave me alone. My life is already in so much mess as it is and you boys are only worsening it for me, I'm very sure what happened today will be pinned on me, everybody will blame me for what happened, not you the Alpha's sons," I muttered coming to face with my cruel reality. The reality of an omega slave.

"We won't...,"

"Please don't say anything, I'm exhausted, and I want to take a break from all this, if you truly care for me like you said you do, you will leave me in peace," I cut Julian off. Alexander stood without saying anything. With that being said I turned around and left.
