"Please introduce yourselves to the class; they must be very eager to know more about you both." The teacher's face was all smiles as she coaxed them gently with respect.
She said both as if I weren't in existence there, and I loved it that way, saving me from the shame of introducing myself in front of the students when I'm dressed like a street beggar.
All I hoped for was that Callen and his sister won't be so wicked as to tell the entire class of my mother's abominable act because if the students find out I had link with the vampires, they were going to make me regret ever being alive.
"My name is Callen, my sister is Sophia, and most importantly, our father is Alpha Logan, the owner of this school." He began, his voice cocky and reeking with so much pride that I almost scoffed in disgust.
Does he need someone to remind him that his father is no where close to owning this school? How has he suddenly forgot about the Lycan king or did he deliberately decides to be an ignorant asshole.
What annoyed me most was the reaction of the class.
They all went into an uproar, chirping among themselves as their eyes brimmed with respect and admiration fixed on Callen and Sophia.
I wish I could tell them the actual truth because it seems they aren't aware of Callen's lie and were all swooning already. The girls were primping and drooling as they stared lustfully at him trying hard to draw his attention to themselves.
Sophia, on the other hand, had captured every boy's attention, charming them with her unique beauty and enchanting smile as they all gazed dreamily at her, adding that she was the daughter of the owner of this school, every guy couldn't help but desire her uncontrollably, especially as they had realized though her scent that she was unmated yet.
"I'm so happy to be in the class with you all. I hope to enjoy my final year in school here." Sophia voiced out gently with a calm smile as if trying to seduce them. I felt like hissing and reminding her that she wasn't as beautiful as she imagined in her head.
I stood there in silence, waiting patiently for it to be over so we would be ushered to our seats. It already feels hot standing in front of the class with my tattered appearance.
"Who is that dirty thing behind you?" A gruffy voice from the students cut in, loudly, erupting stupid laughters from every corner as I felt a shudder knowing fully well it was me.
The wave of anger that followed my shame almost made me lash back at whoever it was. Calling me a thing hurt more than I thought it could.
But I decided to be calm, afraid of what punishment I might face, but I didn't fail to raise my gaze and capture the face of the stupid boy who said that.
A brown haired fatty asshole with cheeks chubby. He had that mean face of a bully from the far back end of the class where he sat. I couldn't notice the boys around him like he was some kind of a thug leader.
He gave me that nose twitch when he caught me looking at him.
"Fool"
"Let me use this opportunity to introduce the dirty thing to y'all!" Callen chuckled and at that moment all I prayed for was death on him
"She is disgusting!" A female students snorted.
"She looks like a street beggar!! Shit!" Another hurled.
"She is my slave." Callen added and I flinched from the pain that crossed my heart. I swallowed hard, pinning my gaze to the ground to avoid all the peering eyes that turned at me at that moment.
"Look up, pig!" Callen yelled at me, but I pretended not to hear him. The next thing he did was slap me so hard that my feet stumbled back as I screeched and clutched my hurting cheeks in tears. I obediently raised my head and faced the whole class who was staring at me like a piece of shit.
At that moment, I wished the earth would open and swallow me. Everyone began to laugh stupidly as they hushed among themselves while pointing at my dress and hair.
The laughter was like echoes in my head, and it was hitting me harshly.
"Is her name pig?" One girl asked, and the fool, Callen, nodded. "Her whore mother named her Selene but pig is the right name for her."
"She smells; her gown is oversized and shapeless; she has her hair dirty and rumpled like a mad woman. Her skin is sticky and stained with dirt. So her name is pig!" Sophia jeered, and the whole class burst into another fit of laughter, including the teacher.
"Let's go and sit, dear." Callen said to Sophia and they both went to their seats while I followed behind, but the only desk remaining was the one for both of them, which meant I had no desk to sit on.
"Where is my desk?" I asked silently, confused, when they both sat and turned to the teacher, leaving me aimless beside them.
Am I going to be standing?
Callen and Sophia snubbed me, acting like they didn't hear my question.
"Where is my desk? Am I going to be standing?!" I rasped, my voice louder and Sophia sneered at me. "Sit on the ground, pig!"
"You must be joking!" I retorted.
"Why are you disturbing my lecture?!" The teacher shouted at me, her face grimaced in disgust.
"I have no where to sit! There isn't any free desk!" I gritted.
"Because you aren't a registered student. You weren't admitted here, so no desk is assigned to you!" She explained harshly, and I scoffed.
"That's fine. I'm leaving then." I hissed; my anger was at its peak now, and everything happening had just gotten to the core of my emotions.
"You are going where?" Callen growled.
"Don't ask me that! I have no desk, so why am I here? I'm going home." I retorted, and he arched his brows. The class clamouring in shock.
"Are you shouting at me?" He bellowed, and I scoffed.
"You are a fool! I swear. You are a mad asshole, bro!" I blurted, not knowing where the courage came from, but at that moment, nothing mattered. The pain from his slave mark was eating me deep, but the rage boiling inside my heart was bigger, and I was ready for anything.
"What did I just hear you say?!" He roared, standing up in a rush, his fists clenched tight as he glared dangerously at me.
Sophia also stood, both ready to pounce on me, and the whole class had no one siding with me.
"My time is up. Goodbye class." The teacher who I thought would calm the storm muttered and hurried out, leaving me to my fate.
"I don't understand why you are treating your fated mate like this! Fine. You can reject me, but what did I personally do to you to deserve all these humiliations and insults? What did I do to deserve this aching slave mark scarring my life?!" I screeched, almost crying, as my voice cracked and tears spilled down my cheeks.
My heart was broken. I felt shattered and couldn't beat it anymore.
"She is your mate?"
The question slipped off everyone's lips as they shared glances between me and Callen.
"How dare you say that?!" He thundered, his face red and his eyes blazing with fury, as he stalked closer to me like a predator ready to devour me.
"Callen, stay away from me. Leave me the fuck alone! I did you no wrong!" I shouted in broken spirit, and just as he made to grab me by the hair, I recoiled and made a sudden, swift turn that no one expected. The door was wide open, providing easy access to run away.
I was going to flee, but just as I was almost out, one student poked out his leg, and I toppled on it, crashing heavily on the floor with my head hitting the wall.
My lips broke apart in a sharp scream of the pain that waved through my skull, but Callen hasn't started yet. He picked me up with my hair, gripping it so tight that I felt the edge almost leaving my skull.
"Let me go!!" I cried and instinctively, fired him a hard kick between his groins, right on his balls, forcing his grip off him instantly as he cried out.
"Arghhhhhh..." His blood-cuddling shout of pain echoed through the entire building while he crashed heavily on the floor, both hands holding onto his dick as he rolled in unbearable pain.
"What have you done?!" Sophia snarled at me, rushing to him. The whole class was also shocked as they stared bewilderedly at me.
I didn't care whatever was going to happen to me. I never regretted or felt guilt over the hard kick on Callen's balls. He was rolling on the floor in intense pain, groaning with tears out of his eyes, and I could swear that was the most satisfying moment of my life.
