Chapter 10
Hutton's POV.
The school bell rang for break time, making me sigh in relief, finally...
I threw another glance at Scarlett my girlfriend, but she wasn't looking at me and had never looked at me since she came to school, I shifted my gaze to Xander feeling my anger soar.
He was sitting some distance away from others, his desk was enough to contain two more people, but no one would dare sit beside him or come close to him.
My girlfriend had been the person sitting beside me, but now she already changed to her seat after I failed her, she must have hated me for doing nothing even after seeing how Xander molested her.
The students began to troupe out while I rested my gaze at her, bracing myself to move over and talk to her, I feel ashamed, but I still loved her so deep.
Almost half of the class was out, but Xander was sitting on the spot without moving his body, his face was grim and scary as always...
My mother is dead and my girlfriend leaving me would break me more, I needed someone to be with.
I took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in my throat before standing up, my body was just so heavy this time, my heart was beating heavily inside my chest, different voices were urging me to go while another was yelling at me to sit back. I stepped out of my chair and took a pace towards her seat where she sat with her face buried into her palm, I could guess she was sobbing.
She heard my footstep and looked up, our eyes met, and she sniffed her tears,
We were looking at each other as I walked to her slowly, I was happy she seemed not to hate me much again, she must still love me.
I was already close to her when he stood up and started coming forward to her.
Xander stood up from his chair and began to walk to my girlfriend with his face looking so mean and scary, fear gripped me and I paused my pace, I was damn scared to walk again.
His aura filled the whole classroom dispersing the whole student away, everyone found their ways far away from him, he was like a god, it was clear no one stands in his way,
He got closer to my girlfriend and I couldn't still move, talk more of stopping him.
"Hey..." he called her without a single smile.
"Hope you reported me to your father?your father is a Beta, and he won't want his daughter to be treated that way, so I hope you told him what I did?" He seethed sitting on her desk. "What...is...my crime?" she whimpered.
"Are you asking me that?.okay, I had no reason, but I was thinking you had a boyfriend who should stand and fight for you!" he scoffed, and my heart skipped a beat, my eyes widened as I got scared.
She shifted her gaze to me and I felt like the ground should open and swallow me,
"H... Hu... Hutton." she stuttered my name and I felt the great urge to run away, but I should stand strong, I'm not a sissy!
Xander moved his gaze to me and I felt cold chills run through me,
"Are you her boyfriend?" he asked with a deep frown, leaving me dumb.
The more I tried being strong as his cold eyes rested on me, just the more my courage elopes slowly,
I peered into his eyes and the darkness in it sent shivers all over me, I shouldn't be afraid of him when my father is also one of the most powerful and I also got my wolf powers but then, I knew better than standing on his way. Xander isn't a mere Werewolf like every other person, he has three combinations of powers in him, no one would be able to defeat him.
"I asked you a question, and you kept mute at it?" He asked, raising his brow as he stepped down from the desk, turning fully to me.
"What did you ask?" I questioned as my head went blank, there was no student close at that moment, everyone knows how terrible his anger could be,
"You want me to repeat myself?" He arched his brow, taking a few steps forward to me.
I fluttered my eyes and racked my head to remember what he asked me, but it was gone forever, my brain had lost it,
"Please, I don't mean to anger you, but I have forgotten what you said!" I stated with my tone being forced to be strong, I was forcing it not to crack as the fear of just his stare was making me hot.
He smirked then made a short and croaky laugh,
"Is she your girlfriend?" He asked, pulling her hair as she cried, and held his hand to ease the pain.
I glanced around and saw the whole of my classmates and some other students watch from the windows, their gazes on me made my head pound, almost everyone knows she is my girlfriend and denying her right here and now would not only break us up but would strike my heart with deep pain.
I love her, but then I found no courage to accept she is my girlfriend not here and now, I'm freaking afraid of Xander, I just don't know why he decides to pick up on me these days.
"If you keep quiet, then I'll believe she is nothing to you, so you will have to leave the class while I treat her the way I want!" He stated with his voice deep and fretting, he had no smile on his face...
"Okay..." That was the only word that could come out of my mouth after cursing him so much in my heart, I even yelled at him with threats but all that was in my heart and I had no courage to say it out, I hate myself for that, it pains to know that there was nothing I can do.
"Now leave!" He shrugged and yanked her hair again as he turned to her.
"Are you really leaving? you aren't my boyfriend??" The voice of Scarlett was like a slap to my cheeks, I had taken three steps away before she said those words, it tore my heart into shreds.
"He isn't your boyfriend, he doesn't f*****g care about you, so shut your mouth!" Xander growled and slapped her hard,
She fell off to the ground, sending rage through me, Xander smirked and threw a glance at me like he was inviting me for a fight,
It was like he wanted me to fight him and was hurting her intentionally.
"But why are you doing this to her?" I asked under my breath, my voice couldn't sound harsh, it couldn't sound strong, I even found it hard to keep a stern face instead of a fretting one.
"You have no gut to ask me that, come take her from me!" He taunted and dragged her from the floor, he pressed her boobs and slapped her when she tried stopping him,
"Tell him to come to release you from my grasp" he snorted, and I felt weak, I looked around and saw the student all staring at me waiting to know what I will do.
"You want me to fight you...you want to fight with me, why hurt her then?" I asked turning to face him fully, I clenched my fist and grit my teeth looking ready for a fight but deep in my heart, I pray he won't accept to fight with me.
"He is the son of the powerful Alpha who ruled the North American Packs, he should be powerful, why can't he fight for the girl he claims to love?" He scoffed and played with her nipples, pinning her to the wall with the other hand, she struggled but was never able to escape, multiple slaps would always land on her cheek.
She would keep looking at me with pleading eyes full of tears, I have never fought with Xander and never prayed to fight him one day, it had always been peaceful, he had never crossed my path until today, I had watched him fight with other Alpha Prince.
It was always terrible and horrific, they never got the chance to give him a scratch while he broke their bones and gash their skin, it was always bloody, everyone fears and dreads his presence.
I looked up at him and my eyes widened as I saw Scarlett uniform torn, her white bra was visible at the moment, her cheeks were shiny red from his constant slapping,
With great anger, I attacked Xander with my Werewolf form using all the strength I had, it was to be an unexpected attack on him since he was backing me as he hit my girlfriend, but I was wrong.
Just as I was about to punch his neck from behind, it hit her instead as he had speedily swerved out, my punch landed on Scarlett's head making her pass out immediately, my eyes widened in great shock.
"Ahh, you want to kill her?" I heard Xander ask from behind.
"Scarlett!!!" I screamed her name, carrying her into my arms
"Drop her and fight me, I won't let you go since you decided to disrupt my sweet moment with her" Xander growled,, but I wasn't listening to him talk more of dropping her.
My heart is broken at the shrill she made at my punch before fainting, I am taking her to the school health care center immediately.
I was already at the door when he sped to my front with a deep frown.
"Did you just snubbed me?" He questioned with a raised brow and I felt my eyes become wet,
"Are you going to let her die?" I asked with a crack tone.
"Other students can take her to the hospital while we settle our dispute!" He fumed rolling up his sleeves, my eyes fluttered at his muscles and tattoos.
Today is my worst day in school, I should be grieving for my mother's death, but I think the main grief is yet to come, Xander has decided to shatter me for nothing.
I was still trying to convince him to let me be when he took Scarlett from my arms with one hand, he flung her to a student who caught her into his arms.
"Take her to the clinic!" He ordered, and the male student ran off.
"Xander what is my crime?..where did I wro....n...ged" my voice was broken by a heavy blow which landed on my belly, at first, I thought I would die, my breath weren't normal again, his blow made me fall flat to the ground. "You want to fight for your mate, right?" He scoffed, with his tone showing how deep he hated mates.
"She isn't my mate!" I grunted, and he dragged me up, but I quickly gave him a headbutt making him release his grip on me, I quickly sent a simultaneous kick to his chest and fell instead of him, it just made him take a step backwards. "Wow, that's impressive" he nodded, clapping his hand.
I stood up and shifted into my Werewolf form again, I was ready to fight him with all I got,, but I felt my strength sapped out as he shifted a bit into something strange but powerful.
Everyone was awed, I was transfixed, my mouth agape, something was forming out from his back, just like a pair of wings, his claws were strong and there were long sharp fangs visible in his mouth, his eyes ball turned red,
Just then, the school bell rang for a break over, and it all went in, he returned to normal and rolled his eyes at me.
"You are a weakling." He muttered under his breath, walking back to his chair.
