SWNOVELS Chapter Chapter No 8 Sympathy
She opened the door and turned on the lights. Althea was shaken. Gena helped her to the couch.
“Feeling okay?” She asked.
She bobs her head.
“Let me make you some coffee, you will feel better,” she said and left. Althea took a deep breath.
Tyler’s words were still inside her ears, “She is that desperate that she was ready to bang with rogues?” His angry tone was still in her ears.
“Someone was Jealous,” said Lilly sharply.
“Oh come on Lilly, he looks down on us, that little son of a biscuit,” she said harshly.
“Whoa girl, you’re abusing is high nowadays,” said Lilly. Just then her phone beeped.
She remembers it was beeping the whole way to Gena’s place. She grabbed the phone to check.
“What on the….” There were almost three hundred text messages and 20 missed calls from unknown numbers.
She was gazing at her phone like she had held someone else’s phone. She checked her instant and she was tagged in some school news, it was a video, she played it and the horror was in front of her.
“Oh no this can’t be,” she said dismayed.
It was her and Tyler’s video where he pulled her inside the changing room. The video had given the wrong indications. He pulled her in and she came out after 20 minutes.
The caption was saying “Famous, Famous slut on the rocks, the first day of success, and here she goes banging with the infamous boy of the school who is also upcoming Alpha,” her face turned dangerously white.
“No, it can’t be,” she screamed. Gena ran out of the kitchen. Althea was checking her WhatsApp, Twitter, and Facebook it was everywhere. She was about to cry.
“Althea, relax, Jacob and Tyler will try to find a way,” she said while crossing her arms.
She gives her a sigh.
“Tyler will kill me,” she said with tears in her eyes.
“Why are you always afraid of him? And why would he kill you? You did not put this video,” Gena asked her.
“I don’t know,” she said shortly, avoiding her eyes.
***************
He was walking towards his car when Jacob followed him.
“Where are you going Tyler?” He asked him angrily.
“I will straight up catch that bastard and kill him on the spot whoever uploaded this shit,” he said angrily.
“You can’t beat anyone without any proof,” said Jacob while crossing his arms around his chest.
“Oh yeah? Watch me,” he said with an angry expression.
“Listen, Tyler you can’t do it Althea is already in trauma and right now, she might have found out about the video,” he said while taking a deep breath.
“So what if she finds it? I will not care about any rogue,” he said. Jacob smiled.
“Any Rogue?” He smirked. Tyler looked at him with confusion.
“What were you doing with her in the changing room then?” He asked with a mischievous smile.
“What do you mean by that?” He said each word bit under his teeth. Jacob smiled.
“That’s not an answer,” he said.
“I don’t know what you are up to Jacob all I want is that pathetic video to be deleted now,” he said angrily.
“What you were doing there?” Jacob asked, again.
“What do you think? I was banging...” Tyler was about to complete his sentence when Jacob abrupt her in the middle.
“Mind it Tyler, it’s Althea you are talking about and you know how important she is to me,” he said with a dangerous tone, he did not like Tyler’s choice of words.
Tyler rolls his eyes.
“I need that shit deleted,” he hissed.
“First, I want you to take a deep breath and, second you have to come with me, now we will figure it out,” Jacob said, and he got inside Tyler’s car.
“Jerk,” Tyler rolled his eyes and muttered. He got into the car.
“Where are we exactly going?” Tyler asked.
“My girlfriend’s apartment,” Jacob said shortly. Tyler was about to say something when Jacob raised his hand.
“No more questions,” he said sharply.
Tyler had lost his temper “Don’t forget I am an Alpha,” he said angrily.
“No, you are my cousin and you are becoming dick if I say I have a way to get you out of this mess and then I mean it,” Jacob said angrily. Tyler took a deep breath.
After a while, they were in front of the building where Gena lives. He was about to knock on the door when they heard sobbing. It was Althea, who was crying. Tyler’s hand, which was about to knock on the door, stopped in the middle.
“Throughout my life, I have been an outcast. I have been living a bullied life here and today when I felt I could be, they humiliated me like that calling me a slut? What if I can’t shift what if I am different? That I can’t feel anything? Tyler always treats me trash with his girlfriend Julia. Why? Because I was saved by my parents 16 years ago. They should leave me there to die because I am freaking rogue?” She said angrily and cried.
For the first time, Tyler felt very bad for her. He felt his heart was strangely aching.
“Tyler? You okay?” Asked Jacob who just came after him. Tyler took a deep breath and gave him a sigh. Jacob knocked on the door. After a while, Gena opened it.
They got in, “Where is Althea?” Asked Jacob.
“She went inside my room when she heard you; she does not want to face anyone,” Gena said sadly.
“We can figure out Gena, who is it I have an idea,” said Jacob both Gena and Tyler looked at her with confused expressions.
“I can hack it,” he said, smiling.
“You what?” Said Gena.
Tyler smiled.
“It’s not only me who is a bad boy here. Why don’t I get that idea?” he said smiling.
“Okay bro, you grab Instagram, I will hack Facebook, and for WhatsApp, we will catch the culprit,” he said, they turned on the laptops and smartphones. After ten minutes they had done the hacking.
“Done,” Said Tyler.
“I have done too,” said Jacob.
“Well, I have tracked down the culprit,” said Gena.
“Not bad, now what I was talking about,” said Jacob.
“Who is it?” Asked Tyler angrily.
“It’s Emma,” she said with a stone expression.
“Your ex?” He asked Jacob.
“Not mine she is not my type,” he said while crossing his arms.
He left the apartment in a rush.
“Hey Althea, The video is deleted” Jacob cried out aloud. She did not respond. Jacob sighed at Gena.
“Give her time she is disturbed” he took a deep breath.
He got inside his car after leaving the building. He pulls out the cigarette and lights it up. He inhaled a deep smoke and later he exhaled it with a sigh on the front mirror. Which was showing the reflection of the building in the same window where Gena lives. Her voice was echoing in his head.
“Tyler he always has treated me trash” Her sobs were all he could hear. He started the car and put it on the highway; he was driving so fast. Her voice was calling his name.
“Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, hates me, he treats me like trash, I am an outsider,” his grip on the car steering was too strong he stopped the car suddenly. The glimpse of her in the woods came into his mind.
“You are Alpha, how bout debt,” a strange, similar voice to her said inside her mind. He remembers the day in a changing room where he had suddenly urged to touch her.
“Axel?” He called out his wolf. But his wolf was not responding to him.
“Where the heck is you, Axel,” he said angrily while punching over his steering. He was feeling so exhausted.
The school was crowded when she entered, she wore a stone expression. There was gossiping when she was walking, she was unable to look up.
“Hey look, isn’t this the girl Tyler bangs with?” Said a blond girl.
“How shameful the rogue and the prince? The first day of getting famous and here she goes” said the other girl.
She felt too embraced. She was walking slowly when someone started walking by her side, and the gossiping stopped. She turned to look much to her surprise. It was Tyler, he was walking beside her.
“Walk along don’t make any move” he whispered. She did as he told her. He took her to the backside of the school where only a few students were.
“Why do you do this? They will think it was true,” she said without looking at him.
“I went to check up on Emma and it seems like she was nowhere to be found, I asked the wolves who were on patrol, if she was seen leaving. But they said they did not see her” he said while crossing his arms around his chest. She was staring at the ground.
It was an awkward silence.
“Everyone in the school thinks, I, I, I, You, and I did…” she was turning red and hesitant to say. He smirked. He walked ahead a bit removing the distance between them, she walked backward a bit
“We did what?” He said in a deep voice. He was smirking. He was coming too much closer; she felt her heart racing “Hmmm? We did what” he said in a very deep voice, and her heart was pounding against the chest.
She puts her hand over his chest to stop him from coming closer. He was wearing a black T-shirt, jeans and a jacket over it. She could feel his body heat when she touched his chest, for the first time she was feeling his strong chest.
“Tyler please don’t make a move, if anyone sees us like this, it will create a scene, you can be with any girl in the pack, but not me, because you are a prince and I am a rogue,” she said without looking at him. She turned and left. He was staring at her back.
He punched hard on the wall, “Why? Why? I feel attraction towards her, she is right she is just a rogue, she has been an outcast why I am drawn to an outcast? Why? Only if Axel was here to contact me I will be able to ask him, if he feels the same. I am trying hard to resist these abnormal feelings why? Why? I am doing this?” he thought angrily.
Her heartbeat was still fast.
“Someone is feeling high,” said Lilly.
“It’s not like that Lilly,” she said angrily.
“I can’t fall for an angry arrogant prince, who gives everyone a fuck,” Althea was too much angry. She left for her class.
“Next week is his coronation. What do you think? Who is his mate ?” asked Lilly.
“Yeah I can throw a dollar it must be the bitch Julia they are made to be together jerk vs. jerk,” she said angrily. Lilly chuckled.
Jacob did not come to school today. He was on a camping trip with Gena. She was reading a book when her phone rang.
She picked it up “Hy Jacob how is it going?” she asked happily.
“It’s fine, I am screwed,” he said angrily.
“What happened?” she asked worriedly.
“Mr. Lawrence had given me a paper parchment of wolf training and it happens to be in my room, can you grab it for me and give it to Mr Lawrence?” he asked.
“Yeah sure I am going to grab it after school,” she said smiling and hung up the phone.
She went to the pack house. Luna was standing outside of the house.
“Hey, you are Ruby’s daughter?” she asked, smiling. She nodded.
“Long time no see you have grown beautiful,” she said while softly hugging her.
“Your brother Collin is here playing with Viviana,” she said pointing at the window that must be Viviana’s room’s window.
“Thank you, Luna, my pleasure to meet you. I am here to take something from Jacob’s room, he wanted to give a piece of paper to a teacher” she said, bowing to her. Luna was a short-height, black-haired woman, she had small narrowed eyes. Her daughter Viviana was the exact image of her. She had dark brown eyes. She wondered where Tyler got those glittering blue eyes because none of his parents had eyes like those.
“Honey, no need to bow, sometimes we should put aside royalties,” she said smiling and she went inside the home.
“Jacob’s room, Jacob’s room why this house has to be this much big,” she was annoyed. She walked up the stairs and went left. There were two doors, both were so familiar.
“Which one was his?” she thought and went inside the right door. She felt a strange familiarity in the room, she had been in Jacob’s room before, but it was nothing like that.
This room was all messy and most precisely it had the same scent, the scent she was afraid of, now she remembered where she was. It was Tyler’s room. She gasped.
“Why do I always end up here?” she said, annoyed. She turned to leave but much to her horror the door was closed.
“Why on the planet he has put the lock on?” she thought annoyed.
“I am trapped, he will be here at any moment. I am trapped, I am trapped, I am trapped,” she thought panicked. Just then the door clicked, and she gulped.
