THE BULLIED ALPHA

CHAPTER 2: CORNERED AGAIN

Ryder’s POV

“Pst. Pst. Wake up, Ryder”, Chester whispered while trying to shake me up frantically from my deep slumber.

Chester was my best friend and Beta.

We were like birds of the same flock and shared the same interests and hobbies.

In the university, we were together called the “Fatso d***s” by the stuck up bullies and as expected, he too had insisted on coming with me to study the same courses as I when he too got a call and scholarship from our dream university !

“Ughh”, I groaned out in pain as I felt my broken ribs try to readjust themselves when I tried to turn to the other side.

“I know you are badly hurt, Ryder but we need to get away from here before anyone else tries to hurt you again”, Chester worriedly pleaded.

“Carry me ?”, I weakly mumbled.

“Sorry Alpha dear but I am on my shots today. I am feeling too weak and can’t support your weight”, Chester sadly said in a low voice.

He was referring to the suppressant shots.

The other side effect other than making us fat and ugly as f**k, the suppressants made us momentarily weak immediately after taking the shots but that subsided within minutes so it was usually not a problem.

“You must be feeling stronger now, dickhead”, I retorted indignantly.

“Yeah ! I was lying previously actually”, Chester sheepishly confessed.

“Don’t tell me you got beaten up too”, I groaned.

“Yeah”, he admitted and slung back against the bathroom door while holding his abdomen.

“Who hit you this time ?”, I asked while grunting in pain.

“Same as you. San’s gang”, he said with clenched teeth.

“Seriously ?”, I asked.

“Yeah seriously. I came to check up on you when you didn’t return to class and they caught me while exiting after beating you up”, he recounted the details.

“Sorry man !”, I apologized. “I seriously wasn’t expecting them to follow me out during class”, I said in a sad tone.

“It’s ok buddy. Just a few months more and we will be out of here having the time of our lives”, Chester grinned.

See ? He was always a cheerful and positive person with a very sharp mind. That is why we clicked together because of our fun loving nature and pranky attitude.

Even though we were bullied a lot by the Dark gang, we still had our fun in the campus while playing practical jokes on everyone and sometimes we anonymously pranked the evil, bullying gang whenever we felt angry towards them.

I would really not trade my bitter sweet moments in the campus for anything else as I loved my time here but now I guess I had had my fun and now it was time for our studies to get over and get back to our wolf-vamp forms while living a much more peaceful life without these f*****g suppressants.

“You are right, Chester”, I agreed with him. “Let’s teleport ourselves back to class”, I groaned as I tried to sit up.

“Are you sure ?”, Chester nervously asked.

“I really can’t f*****g walk all those long corridors on our way to class”, I said while whimpering in pain as I tried to stand up.

“You look so bad, dude”, Chester tsked as he watched me struggle on my feet.

“Say that to yourself fucker”, I laughed.

“I am so glad that your vampire power is Teleportation”, Chester said gratefully.

“Hmm me too”, I said and teleported ourselves to a lonely corner nearest to our class.

As we limped our way to the class, Chester sighed, “I wish we could use our wolves’ healing powers”, he said while trying to walk as fast as he could.

“Everyone will be suspicious then, Chester”, I whispered.

“Can’t we pretend for once ?”, he whined.

“No”, I said and led him inside the class.

To our horror, the class was strangely empty and as soon as we made the mistake to go further inside, we saw the Dark gang smirking at us and holding our bags.

Shit !

We are f*****g cornered again.

“It’s a pity that the professor gave a free period to the class just a few minutes back and you got f*****g late to get your bags”, San smirked and threw our bags across the room to another buddy of hers.

“Give back our bags guys”, I demanded in a pissed off tone.

“Someone seems to be getting really cocky here”, San leaned forward and stared at me.

I don’t know why I never hated her.

I only felt pity for her and I guess she was like any other typical bully- abused or tormented at home or any other place.

San was actually the youngest prodigy of the university and she was the only one who was younger than me and Chester.

She was 17 years old and was going to turn 18 years old.

San was one of the prized students of the university with numerous achievements in various fields and that is why she used to get away with her bullying antics as no one dared to mess with her.

I stared back straight into her eyes like always and did not flinch when she smacked me hard on my cheek.

“Don’t you dare look at me directly rascal”, she shouted and smacked me again on another cheek. “How many times do I tell you that”, she fumed.

Meanwhile the other boys were tormenting Chester and I was in no mood to get another round of beating.

I gave them a bored look and snatched Chester from them while walking away from them.

I walked across the room in front of the shocked bully wolves and let them keep our bags as I dragged my best friend to a lonely spot and teleported ourselves to the Training Academy.

As soon as we reached the place, we instantly let our wolves heal our wounds and once our body parts were back in place, Chester looked at me with a frown on his face.

“Why the hell did you do that ?”, he asked.

“I was really tired and I always feel sad when I see San’s eyes”, I replied in a tired voice.

“Asshole”, Chester muttered. “Are you thinking that she is just frustrated due to her personal abuse at her pack and is taking it out on us ? Are you pitying that woman ?”, he bellowed furiously at me.

“Yes”, I curtly answered back.

“Then let me tell you that you are absolutely wrong, Alpha Ryder Stone”, Chester said aggressively in a tone as if he was trying to knock sense in me. “That b***h is an Alpha of her pack and her parents treat her like royalty. The pack gives her so much love and her gang friends are her die hard supporters so just snap out of your dreamy world and stop protecting her as if she is the victim”, Chester huffed as he finished his monologue.

Chester was usually quite a cool tempered and sweet boy. There were few moments when he would get all worked up and right now we were going through that moment.

“Let’s just have lunch and rest before we go for our training, Chester. I am really tired”, I said and headed towards the academy’s cafeteria.

Chester soon joined me as he shook his head at my indifferent attitude and we ate in comfortable silence immersed in our own thoughts.
