CATHY'S POV
"Boo!"
I heard noises behind me. It was the voices of my classmates who had poured water on me from behind. The water was so cold that I shivered but none of them cared.
They loved to see me sad, they loved to see me in tears and they believed they were helping Dinah whenever they bullied me.
I turned around to look at the two girls and a boy behind me who had a bucket of water in hand. "Why are you staring? Do you want more water?" One of the girls asked with a cold expression on her fierce face.
I looked at the bucket in the guy's hand with anger and I felt the urge to hit them all. I clenched my fist and lowered my eyes, only to see the outlines of my body due to the wet uniform. My eyes glistened with anger and I bit my lower lip.
Fighting with them was useless, there was no way I'd be able to beat them all. I let out a deep breath and turned around to look at Dinah, who had a gloating expression on her face. My mouth parted lightly, wanting to curse her out but I held myself back and decided to just leave the class.
I picked up the sportswear inside my desk and walked past them.
"Stop!"
Archer's voice entered my ears and I frowned.
"What's it?" I questioned.
He moved closer to me "Did you beat Dinah at home again yesterday?"
His question made my heart sink.
I turned around to look at Dinah, who already had a pitiful look on her face and my lips parted, I shook my head faintly. The sadness that filled my heart was immeasurable. "I didn't," I replied.
How could I? When our parents protect like her mother hen? We hardly even met at home except when she felt like bullying me again.
Archer's expression darkened and he moved even closer to me "I've warned you several times but you keep doing it over and over again, what do you think I should do to you?" He asked menacingly and before I could say a word, he pushed me and slapped me ruthlessly!
I staggered backwards, my hand on my cheek as I stared at him with widened eyes. My lips quivered, the pain made my eyes stung and my breathing turned haggard. He moved closer to me again as if he wanted to beat me again and I took a few steps back "Stop!" I yelled at the top of my voice.
"What right do you have to hit me?" A single tear rolled down my eyes as I asked. "You are not even my Alpha yet! You don't have any right to touch me!" I yelled. I felt the urge to slap him back but in the end, all I could do was stare angrily at him.
He stared at me for a while and he started laughing. "Don't touch her," He said to Grover who seemed to want to hit me too and he moved closer to me again. "We are not your Alphas yet but very soon we will be and I'm letting you know right now that the moment we turn 18 tomorrow night, the first thing we will do is send you out of the Pack!" He threatened. "Get your bags ready or you might have to leave with nothing," He added before he pushed my forehead and stood right.
He walked over to Dinah and held her hand "Let's go, she stinks," He said and led her away.
"You shouldn't threaten her that way. She is my sister and I hate it when she is sad,"
Just when they were about to leave the class, I heard Dinah talking to Archer and my stomach churned. How could she be so cruel?!
"She likes you so much but you are just too evil to realize it," Grover said with an irritated tone, causing me to look at him. "Make sure you don't attend the birthday party tomorrow night. If you do, I will make sure you don't return home alive!" He warned and left the class too.
I watched them leave and I nearly slumped. I felt weak from within and more tears rolled down my eyes. I lost all interest in changing to the sportswear as it might get drenched before leaving for home again so I just returned to my seat.
Later in the day,
Dinah and I returned home. She threw her bag to me which I caught and she walked into the house alone. "Dinah!" My mother's excited voice came from within the house as she rushed out.
Seeing Dinah, she smiled brightly and hugged her "How was class today? Did anyone bully you?" She asked warmly.
Dinah smiled back "Grover and Archer protected me, there was no one who could bully me in front of them. Expect Cathy, of course. She made Archer and Grover think that I'm too weak to be around them and she stayed with them all day," She lied and I gasped.
My mother, who hadn't paid me any attention since she got out finally raised her head to look at me, the warmth on her face turned cold the moment our eyes met "Did you do that today too?" She asked and before I could respond, she continued "Why are you such a wicked child, Cathy? You are the one that made her this weak and you still don't consider her?" Her voice was harsh as she scolded.
I felt no emotion at all, it was like I was already numb to the pain as I just looked at her without saying a word.
Dinah took her hand, attracting her attention again, "Mum, Cathy also told me she wouldn't go to Archer's and Grover's birthday party tomorrow's night. I need someone to protect me. What do I do?" She lamented, "I don't want to go without her."
Hearing that, my heart raced and I sweated profusely.
