Chapter 3

Everyone soon entered the long coaster bus that was going to take us to school. I found the only empty seat in the front of the bus so I sat down there.

I tried to scan through the whole bus for the boy and maybe show my gratitude to him but he was at the other end of the bus. There was no way I would be able to walk past all of these rogues to the end of the bus, I was too shy for that.

I hadn't realized I was staring at him until his face caught mine and I adjusted myself in embarrassment. Something about his eyes were weird and strange but I decided to shove the thoughts away. I would probably thank him after the long ride back to school comes to an end.

After what seemed like forever, we finally arrived at school with two heavily loaded wolf guards waiting outside the bus and examining every rogue before they came down from the bus.

"Lenora?" A guard's voice called and I immediately recognized him. He used to be really close to our family when I was younger but for some reason he never showed up at our house anymore.

"Gerald!" I greeted with a weak smile, knowing that I wasn't a complete ghost might have made me a little bit happy.

"What the hell are you doing with the rogues? They could turn out really dangerous!" He scolded me and I broadened my smile to reassure him that I was fine.

"It's a long story for another day, but hey! Nothing happened to me and I'm fine"

"Okay" he finally said after examining my facial expression like he was trying to dig out the truth, he must have probably realized that my self centered parents had done something.

I tried to look around for the boy that saved me earlier but I couldn't find him anymore, he must have been examined by the other guard and probably left. It's a really big school and it'll be really hard to find him. I guess I'll just have to forget about him.

I entered the school's building and inhaled a deep breath hoping for today to at least not be harsh to me. I was having history and I always have history with Ariel. I owe her an apology and hope she accepts.

I opened the classroom door and the teacher's face fell on me with a scornful look before she continued her class totally ignoring my greetings.

"Over here!" Ariel gestured at an empty seat for me with a smile on her face. At least if everyone hated me, my best friend still loves me. I knew she wouldn't stay mad at me for that long but I was extremely happy she forgave me and was cool with me.

"I'm sorry Ariel!" I mouthed an apology to her as I sat down on the empty chair beside her. She gave me a light squeeze on my hand with a smile on her face.

"It's fine" she responded but as I was about to bring out my notebook from my bag the alarm went off and we could hear footsteps of hundreds of students trooping all around the hall.

"Everyone out!" The teacher yelled, Ariel and I both looked at our faces with awe before running out of the classroom but the main doors were locked. Even the strongest wolf couldn't break it open.

I spotted Asher running towards the panicked students as he tried to break the door open with his strength. He couldn't break it open and I could smell blood coming from his body,he was bleeding. I knew I wasn't supposed to care about him but I hated to see him in pain even after what he did to me.

"Don't stress!" A calm yet powerful voice echoed across the hall, immediately silencing the panicking students and everyone was trying to find where the voice came from.

My eyes widened in awe as I spotted the same guy who had saved me standing elegantly behind us all, on his hand was a bloody arm that was immediately recognized. It belonged to the Alpha.

The students all gasped in horror at the sight before them.

"You bastard!"Asher roared across the hall and ran towards the boy in an attempt to pounce on him but the boy immediately dodged his attack and twisted Asher's arm. We could all hear the sound of his bones cracking and all of a sudden I could smell the fear building up in everyone.

"I am Alaric, the son of Adolph your new Alpha" his thick voice effortlessly said as he removed the hood from his head revealing his long wavy hair that fell right on his shoulders. He removed the bandana that was tied across his nose revealing how perfectly built his face was, but he looked different.
