SWNOVELS Chapter 46 Laughing Stock
“I mean I can’t believe it, you guys look so different,” she said.
“Yeah, he is arrogant and I am not that pesky,” she said while rolling her eyes.
“Will we study or are we gonna gossip like a girl’s pajama party?” he said while looking at Hazel, there was something in his eyes that made her embarrassed.
The remaining weavers were looking at Hazel with pity in their eyes, she felt even more embarrassed.
After the class, she left for the café, where everyone was sitting. She thought before going to school that Eden would be ashamed for cheating on her, she thought he would try to apologize as they were mates, but instead, he declared Patricia as his mate. Her life turned up and down. She felt everyone’s eyes over her, few even whispered and muttered bad things.
She looked at Eden sitting with Patricia and her group; he looked back at her and then turned his gaze away as if he did not know her at all. She felt her heart aching. All the memories they shared came in front of her eyes.
“Get lost, I don’t want to see your face” he mind-linked.
Her eyes filled with tears.
“Eden? Why are you doing this, I am your mate, remember you said you will not leave me” she mind links him.
“I am not your mate, my mate is sitting with me and if you dare to touch her witch, I will kill you,” his mind linked again without looking at her, and this time he blocked her.
She turned in a rush and ran away. She was running as fast as she could when she collided with someone. She looked up, there were tears in her eyes. She still wears her brown wig, which made her hair hidden. She looked up and her eyes went wide open. It was Tyler Rawlins, the Alpha of River-stone. She was too broken and she wanted a parent at that time, but her father’s expressions were cold. He was looking inside her eyes expressionlessly.
“Could you tell me where the principal office is?” he asked. She wanted to cry and hug him.
She points at the corner. He turned and left. She stared at the principal’s office. She felt so alone. Wherever she was going everyone was laughing at her. She became a laughing stock.
She sat alone in the corridor when someone put their hand over her shoulder. She looks up, it was Aria with a medium-height girl.
“Hi, I was looking for you in the whole school,” said Aria.
“Hi, Hazel I am Zoe, I am Aria’s pack member,” said Zoe while stretching her hand in front of her.
She smiles and shakes her hand.
“So what you were doing?” asked Aria.
“Nothing, thinking about what to do next,” she said shortly.
“What do you mean by what to do next?” she asked, concerned.
“I am leaving this town Aria,” she said without looking at them.
“Hazel, what are you thinking, you are not going anywhere,” said Zoe.
“There is no other option, I can’t live with this humiliation,” she said sadly. “The whole school is laughing at me, I am still thinking about what I have done, he is my mate but now he is about to reject me, my wolf, she can’t bear this,” she said.
“He won’t reject you, Hazel, we won’t let this happen,” said Caleb who walked towards them.
“Caleb, you can see people are still talking about me,” she said while pointing out at students who were gossiping.
“Few days, a few weeks they will forget about you,” Zoe said.
“Did not Justin tell you? You are now the pack member we are not letting you in Hazel,” said Aria.
“When I came here, I joined North-pole Aria, and it was a fairytale for me. I was the happiest girl on the earth and now they kick me out. I can’t try it again,” she said bitterly.
“But you are Canis lupus, you belong here in our pack,” said Zoe,
“Wait what? How do you know I am Canis Lupus?” she asked while getting up in a rush.
“The day when you found that your mate is cheating on you, you lose control over your wolf, thus turning your eyes purple,” said Aria sheepishly.
“No, No, No, this can’t be, this can’t be, Now the whole class already know my secret. How come I did not notice this before,” she said panicked.
“Hazel, Hazel relax, you are safe here my dear, you are one of us, you are not different,” Zoe said.
“The thing is, you have to be honest with us,” said Aria.
“Tell us, how come you are Canis lupus and why only your wolf has purple eyes not you?” asked Zoe.
“Ummm, I….” She was about to speak when his name was announced On the PA system.
“Hazel please report to the principal office” she looked at Aria and then to Caleb and Zoe. Patricia’s words were echoing in her mind “Alpha of North-pole will come to kick you out”
“We are coming with you,” said Aria.
“I am coming also,” said Caleb.
“No Caleb, you have to stay back, we can’t expose you as my friend I don’t want trouble in your life, Caleb,” said Hazel.
“I won’t leave your side, Hazel, no matter what,” he said and walked ahead towards the principal’s office. Hazel gives him a sigh.
“Let’s go,” said Aria.
******
She entered the principal’s office. Alpha Julius was sitting on the Office chair. He was looking at her. She was unable to recognize him. He was no longer the Julius she knew, instead, he was cold and distant. There were other people in the office except for Julius and the principal. A tall man who had green eyes and familiar Facial expressions, his facial expressions were familiar a bit to her father and her new friend Caleb. The other person was her father, who was looking at her angrily.
“So this is the girl we are talking about here just met this destitute creature outside,” said Tyler angrily while crossing his arms around his chest. She looked at her father in disbelief. She wanted to scream at him and tell him what she was going through.
“Alpha Julius, you brought this girl to the school, she is a witch who tried to steal my Niece’s mate, your son,” said the man who had green eyes. She realized, he is father of Caleb.
“Relax Ellis, I will take care of this matter,” said Tyler.
“What do you think is going on inside?” asked Zoe, worried.
“I think the matter is out of hand, I have mind-link Kyden, he said he is on the way,” said Aria. Caleb was standing near the door while leaning over the wall folding his arms around his chest.
“Are you thinking the same as what I am thinking?” he asked. Aria looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“No, No, No, you are telling me we should call our Alpha instead?” asked Aria.
“Yeah, you should because I know my pack, I am afraid for Hazel’s safety as River-stone is ruthless, she is now an official rogue, they will execute her, you should call her Alpha,” he said expressionlessly.
Aria and Zoe exchanged looks and then Zoe nodded.
“Fine, I have told Kyden, and now I am mind linking Alpha,” said Zoe.
“How much time will it take her?” asked Caleb.
“Our pack is away, but we will protect her until she arrives,” said Zoe.
******
“This messy little filth, we don’t even know about her,” said Julius. Hazel looked at him with disbelief. He knew about her, he knew who she is, why he is acting so odd like he does not know her at all.
“Alpha Julius, what are you talking about? You took me in because…..you know me don’t you?” she asked in disbelief.
“We took you in because you were injured and we felt pity on you. So we decided to keep you,” he said while looking at her angrily.
“We fought a long time ago Julius because of a rogue and now still a rogue tried to harm something precious. We love our children, I told you, rogues are not allowed in packs because of reasons,” said Tyler. She felt her heart drowning that was all the respect he got for her mother. At one point she wanted to tell him that she is his daughter being called filth.
“So what do you want?” asked the principal.
“We want this girl to be executed,” said Tyler.
“This filthy little creature, I want her dead father,” said Patricia who entered the office with Eden.
“Don’t worry my darling we will finish her off” said Tyler. Eden was standing with her expressionlessly.
“They will kill me for sure,” she thought sadly.
“You will become an example for being a traitor,” said Ellis. “Filth like you should die” he adds.
“No daddy, never, you are not gonna touch her,” said Caleb who entered the room. Hazel turned towards the door to look.
Caleb was standing while crossing his arms around his broad chest.
“Caleb, what are you doing here?” asked Tyler angrily.
“I am here for my friend,” he said strongly.
“This rogue is your friend?” asked Tyler angrily.
“Daddy, he is telling the truth he is a friend with this rogue, he beat Eden the other day because of this bitch” said Patricia angrily.
“Traitor, your son is traitor Ellis,” said Julius angrily.
“He is no longer my son, he will be executed with her,” said Ellis expressionless. Caleb looked at his father in disbelief, he knew his father was emotionless, but he never knew that his father would execute him.
There were two fathers in the room and both wanted their children dead. Hazel was panicking.
“Don’t worry we have arranged everything” said Caleb through the mind link.
“Well now everything is clear, we want these two out of the school and later we will execute these two,” said the principal.
“On whose behalf” they all turned to look whose voice is this. A blond graceful woman who had purple eyes was standing in the middle of the door. She was wearing a long white dress. She was looking at the principal.
“Alpha Althea?” said the principal, astonished. She looked at Tyler without any expressions and then at Ellis. She walked towards the empty chair and sat upon it with a high attitude.
“Alpha Althea, how come you are here?” asked the principal with respect.
“I happened to visit Ocean howls pack today when I received a mind-link from one of my gifted pack members, that you are tutoring this girl for hours and you have put an allegation that she has bewitched a werewolf?” she asked while looking straight into the principal’s eyes. Ellis was looking at her with astonished expressions. This Althea was very different from the Althea he knows.
“This is not false, she indeed stole my daughter’s mate by bewitching and she discovered this the other day when her wolf told her he is her mate instead of this filth,” said Tyler.
“First stop calling her filth” she stood up from the chair and looked deep inside his eyes, something she found so painful.
“Second, this dirt is in your woman’s blood, first her mother said I stole “her mate,” she said while air quoting her fingers.
“Now your daughter is screaming that this girl has stolen her mate. Why they all think everyone is after their mates Mr. Rawlins?” she said while pressing the word ‘Mr. Rawlins’.
She turned towards Hazel who was terrified. She spread her arms around her shoulders.
“When I met this girl, this guy introduced her as his mate, clearly we all know who bewitched who,” she said while looking at Patricia.
Tyler was about to say something but stopped.
“Mr. Evan, this girl is now our pack member, I as the Alpha take her in as a pack member, so now she is not a rogue and you will not kick her out,” she said to the principal.
Mr. Evan was speechlessly looking at Tyler.
“You were in the Royal meeting, didn’t you, Mr. Evan? You know us,” said Althea while crossing her arms and slowly walking towards the principal.
“Yeah I understand Alpha, you will not get any complaints,” he said.
“Miss Atkins, your pack member crossed her limits,” said Tyler while taking her last initial.
She turned towards him.
“Mr Rawlings, you should not put your daughter on the edge so that someone could reach her easily,” she said while looking inside his eyes.
“I better not get any complains,” she said while looking at principal and grabbed Althea’s hand and took her out.
Caleb looked at his father, who mind linked him.
“I disowned you”.
He gave him a sigh and left.
