Lulu's p.o.v.
She giggled as if I'd crack a joke. " No, silly...", her eyes met mine as we stood in the hallway now. "Our alpha hasn't had any kids yet. He doesn't even have any mate."
Oh.
" Then..."
" Let's say I have connections.", she grinned, taking me further into the hallway.
It's a long dark corridor with classes on the right side and a gigantic terrace on the left. This building looks more like a castle instead of a school. There are even old paintings on the wall and drawing carved on the cemented pillar. But I was too lost in my thoughts to gape at this beauty
" Connections..." She had said. Means, if I stay close to her maybe I can get more secrets of this pack, or maybe I can even find out who killed my family. I peeked at the angel girl walking beside me, she felt kind. I don't want to take advantage of her kindness.
But I want to know the truth so...
I wiped my sweaty palm on the skirt and gave my hand to her, " I am Lucia, by the way...and you can call me Lulu". I need to make her my friend if I want to know more secrets. And, perhaps we can become real friends too.
" Lulu...Cute name.", she smiled gently and shake my hand, " I am Irene."
Irene.
Her name is as beautiful as her. Everyone here is pretty. And I am feeling so out of place suddenly. They all are like gods and goddesses and I look like some weird redhead octopus.
" I was supposed to show you school, but looks like we both are late." She glanced at the golden watch on her wrist and back at me, " How about I show you at lunch... I can also introduce you to my friends."
" Sure." I couldn't help but grin.
Look at her...she helped me before, talked to me...and now she is willing to introduce me to her friends. Maybe all pack wolves aren't that bad. Maybe living with a pack isn't that bad at all. Of course, people tried to hurt me here, but there are kind wolves like her and that stranger too. Maybe I can be happy...
" Killer."
A taunting voice came from behind and broke my daydreaming. Some students were coming out of the class, one of them laugh at me and the other one mocked. I didn't turn around to see their faces. They can laugh all they want. I don't care.
Irene glared at them though, and they left. I watched her ocean eyes turn dull brown from blue again. Her wolf is not strong at all. How come she was able to scare everyone away? Strange.
" Don't take them seriously.", she hold my hand and started walking toward the end of the corridor. Where are we going exactly?
" They are just jealous...and terrified.",
Terrified?
" From who...me?"
" Affirmative", she nodded her head, peering back at me, " You are the first rogue girl we know of...And you did kill a lot of wolves before."
" Yeah, but it was self-defense."
I don't want her to think that I am a bad person. She is my first friend...I guess. I don't want to scare her away.
" I understand. But they don't. And the presence of your wolf, Jesus...", she breathed dreamily as if telling me her fantasy. " I can literally feel your power crawling on my flesh. They all are just scared you gonna steal their position in the pack."
There is nothing special about my wolf. We are just abnormal. And how can a wolfless girl like myself will steal the place of those giant wolves?! It's absurd. I was about to tell her, that she doesn't have to admire my wolf like this...we are not that strong. But before I could say anything, she stopped in front of a class.
" Here is my class...", she took a deep breath and snatched the timetable from my hand, " Can I?"
She was already reading it when she asked me that. I laughed. I think it's going to be fun being around her.
Her eyes skimmed through the page as her lips tugged up in a big smile. " Oh...we almost have all the classes together, and you are also in my music class!"
Before I could understand anything she hugged me tightly, making me wonder, is she genuinely happy to meet me? Her actions feel real. I don't think she is acting. But why... Why someone would want to spend time with a rogue?
Irene stepped back and gave me another big smile, " Looks like we are kindred spirits."
" Kindred what?"
She was way too excited to answer my question. Without wasting any time she opened the door and entered the class...with me on her side. Yeah, we are in the same class. First is history, and then calculus, and then other boring subjects, I've no interest in studying.
And I am already terrified...with music. Violin still gives me nightmares. I've no idea why I'd dare to choose that subject.
All head turns towards us when we entered inside, the old cranky history teacher grumbled something but Irene was busy finding a seat for us to notice it.
After finding a seat near her friend, we sit quietly and acted like we are studying...but in reality, we are talking in chits. I saw that on tv once, that friends use to pass each other notes when they want to talk in class. I never thought that I'll do that one day.
It feels nice to be normal for once.
Irene and I spend the entire day together with her friend Violet. She doesn't seem to trust me much. But I get it... If I had a friend like Irene I would be overprotective of her too. She is like a butterfly...you can literally see stars falling wherever she goes. And after knowing her a little bit, I noticed she is kind to everyone....helped everyone.
I am not ashamed to admit that she kinda become my role model. Though I can never become like her. She is the kind of l girl men would fight over to marry... And I? Men will obviously run away after seeing my crazy habits.
Anyway, today was one of my best days. It did start like a nightmare, but it ended like a beautiful dream.
And right now I am going back home. Turning around I waved at Violet, she was on the bus with me. Irene couldn't come. Her boyfriend was coming to get her. I am excited to meet him too he sounds like a nice person.
Violet rolled her eyes but waved at me anyway. I think she started to like me too. With a big smile, I began walking towards my home. The sky was grey and the wind was cold...it's drizzling a little but I am too happy to hate the rain now.
Nothing could ruin my happy mood at this point.
Today, I realized that mother was wrong about one thing. She said that packs are like hell, wolves who live in packs are ruthless...that they don't have a heart. She told me countless stories about them. That how they torture and beat each other.
But that all was a lie.
I saw how everyone in the school took care of each other. They are like a big happy family. I did feel a little jealous seeing all of them though. Maybe because I am not a part of that family. I wanted to be a part of them too, I thought as I kicked a tiny pebble on the road, it rolled on and stuck in the mud. I sighed and walked further to look for another.
Until today, I hadn't realized what I was missing. They loved each other so much that they can kill anyone to protect their pack. Love like that...it's hard to get. But I will never get that...I can never be a part of that. I am an outsider, don't even fit between them.
They are like flowers of roses and I am a coconut.
" You could have compared us to a different Flower...gardenia at least. ", Lu butted in suddenly. " I like Gardenia.", she added.
" I like gardenia too.", I muttered quietly, "But we are not that pretty to compare with a flower. Coconut is fine...or octopus. I like octopus better."
" Why?! They eat everyone they live with..."
Her words make me scoff, " Isn't it relatable?", I tilted my head, my eyes were locked to my new home. I can see inside from the big window. Mum and Dad came early today, they were playing with the twins. I wanted to cross the road and enter inside, but my legs couldn't move. I am like an octopus. " I eat everyone I live with too."
They all ended up dead. And I don't want anyone else to die.
I stood there for a while, keep staring at them. Dad was giving Molly a horse ride while Mum was feeding Holly. They look so happy. Why had they adopted me? They don't even need me... Just why?!
Ugh. I groaned at my pathetic thoughts. I am overthinking. Taking a deep breath, I took a step to finally cross the road. But then, out of nowhere, a car stopped in front of me.
I scowled, thinking that someone wanted to ask for directions. I only know the way to the bus stop, so I don't think I'll be any help. I was going to walk away when the door opened and a familiar figure stepped out.
It was a black Range Rover, and the guy who came out of it doesn't deserve this amazing car. He doesn't even deserve this navy blue Armani suit or this tall defined body. And this face, nope. He doesn't deserve it either. He should have been an ugly old man. Punching him in the face would be easier that way
" Ms. Galanis..."
I gave him a tight smile, " Sir Daniel...what the hell are you doing here?"
He ignored my lack of respect and stepped closer. His sharp blue eyes were gleaming, making me want to poke it or take these eyeballs out...eat it like candy.
" I want to talk."
" But I don't." After leaving me alone with his psycho students to kill me, what else there is to talk about exactly?!
I glared up at him, " How do you even know my home...Were you stalking me?"
It was supposed to be a taunt but he nodded his head, " Yes."
What?!
Is any teacher normal in that school?
I parted my lips to snap at him but stopped when I felt eyes on me. I glanced behind him...and everything felt slow.
It was him! It was him! It was him!
I wanted to dance in this rain. That stranger from the morning, he was inside....the car? Wait, what is he doing with Sir Daniel? Did this mad teacher kidnap him?
His beautiful eyes met mine and he smiled, his cute dimples making his shaven cheeks more adorable. God. He is so f*****g handsome. I smiled back, making sure to gulp. Don't want him to see my drool. f**k. I want to bite these soft pink lips...
My eyes couldn't even eat him properly when Sir Daniel suddenly came between us. He shoved his hand inside the window, touched those beautiful dark brown hair, and pushed that pretty stranger's head inside the car.
I want to kill Sir Daniel.
" Hey! Don't treat him like that.", I shouted taking several steps towards him, about to kick him in the ass but then he turned around with a scary face.
" He is my brother I can treat him however I like.", he stated with a poker face.
Brother. No way!
I looked at those baby blue eyes, innocent sharp face, and pink delicious lips...and then I stared up at Sir Daniel. Now, noticing those same things.
Oh.
I wanted to bang my dumb head somewhere. They did look alike...but why?! Why he has to be this asshole's brother?! He is like a cute dolphin and Sir Daniel is like an ugly shark.
And now that shark is coming towards me with a deadly glare. He leaned lower and breathed in my air, stealing my scent and heartbeat away.
" And you...are coming with me."
