Bullied By My Alpha Stepbrother

Chapter 3 Gabe

　　Esme's POV

　　The next day, school.

　　"La-la-la-la-la-" I'm happy today because I haven't seen that asshole Merverlan since last night. And today's class is programming class, my favorite class. It's my best hope for living on my own, and I have to learn it well and get out of here on my own before Merverlan masters this pack.

　　"We should be learning this today..." I muttered to myself as I flipped through my textbook and opened the laptop in front of me.

　　The students inside the room started gossiping like bees. “That’s him, right?” I heard one of them said.

　　“He’s cuter in person. Gosh…”

　　“Will he sit next to me?”

　　“He’s coming towards us!”

　　“He is?”

　　Their excited voices made me lift my head to look at the person who entered the room.

　　I saw a tall man with blonde hair standing by the door. He had beautiful green eyes, a tall nose, and red lips. His skin was so pale like snow. He looked like a winter wolf. The newcomer caught the look in my eyes before I could bow my head. How embarrassing.

　　I pretended as if nothing had happened and looked down and continued to stare at my book as if I wasn't the one who had just ogled him.

　　But a few seconds later, I heard footsteps walking closer to me. Then, a sandalwood scent lingered in my nostrils. My lips parted when I saw a pair of shoes stopped in front of me. I slowly lifted my head, and he stood right next to me.

　　"Hello. May I take the seat next to yours?" he asked for permission.

　　My lips parted slightly. There were plenty of empty seats in the classroom, why did he have to pick the one next to me?

　　The whole pack knows that Merverlan hates me, so no one even dares to come near me. He definitely wasn't from this pack.

　　As expected, the rest of the classroom started talking.

　　A male voice kindly warned the newcomer "You better stay away from her."

　　The others immediately chimed in with taunts, "Yeah, don't let this b***h's appearance fool you!"

　　I lowered my head and waited for him to leave on his own. But as if he blocked out the voices of the others, he just moved even closer to me and gently asked, "Can I sit here?"

　　His insistence stunned the entire classroom, including me. I looked up into his determined eyes near me, unable to say no.

　　But I didn't have the chance to answer when the professor came into the classroom.

　　The professor said seriously, "The class will begin soon, all sit down."

　　And the man was still waiting for my answer, so I had to gently nod my head and agree to have him sit next to me.

　　As soon as he sat down, I automatically moved to the side in my attempt to sit away from him, but he just followed me like his main purpose was to really sit close to me.

　　My brow furrowed; he looked like he was deliberately approaching me.

　　But what was there about me that could attract the attention of such a sexy transfer student? I tried to keep my attention on the teacher's lecture.

　　My hands kept taking notes on the keyboard, but the next second my hand was being held by the transfer student next to me.

　　I let out a startled scream. "Let go ......" I hadn't even finished the word when a message from Alpha Ysmael popped up on my computer.

　　[Esme, Gabe is a new student transferring in today, he's in the same major as you so take good care of him, I'm sure you guys will hit it off, a sheepish look].

　　Gabe?I looked at him quizzically.

　　What do you mean? Alpha Ysmael is going to introduce me to a friend?

　　Gabe also happened to see the message on my computer, he didn't find the act of holding my hand offensive at all, he smiled with an ambiguous face, "Yes, I'm Gabe, the new transfer student, and from today you will be my guide around the school. Besides, I think we should get along very well."

　　Why me? Hasn't it always been the job of the Alpha heir to receive new students, and the purpose of Alpha Ysmael arranging this is to introduce me to a friend?

　　But once again, Merverlan's ominous warning flashed through my mind. "If I see you talking to another man or acting in any other way, I will kill that man."

　　I immediately pull my hand out, but the teacher's door is violently pushed open and everyone looks to the classroom door.

　　An aggressive scent dominated the four corners of the room. The class turned silent, and even the professor was forced to pause. My mouth shut in an instant. I know exactly where that scent is coming from.

　　I slowly turned my head to look behind me, and just as I was expecting, I saw Merverlan standing outside the room, glaring at me with his burning red eyes.

　　My face turned white. I could feel his piercing sharp stare slicing me deeply. He needn’t have to say anything for me to know that I’ll be punished later.

　　"So, you're the new transfer student?" Merverlan didn't look at me, but went straight to Gabe.

　　"That's right, my information should have been uploaded to your inbox, shouldn't it, Alpha Merverlan, now that you've disrupted the classroom, and as the Alpha of the pack, your misbehavior like this could have a bad effect on the pack's education hehe." Gabe didn't get up as he snickered.

　　"It seems you're well qualified to be the Alpha's heir, but I'm curious to know if you're not only a great speaker, but also very powerful?" Merverlan said sarcastically, his eyes darkening.

　　"Alpha Merverlan, do you challenge me?" One of Gabe's eyebrows went up, but he remained as calm as if he were talking about tomorrow's weather.

　　"Then you dare to accept?" Merverlan continued provocatively.

　　My worried eyes moved over the two of them, I couldn't let them fight, they were both Alpha's of their packs and this could very well cause a war between the two packs, maybe that's why the Alpha Ysmael asked me to be Gabe's guide.

　　I stood up and grabbed Merverlan's arm, "Alpha Merverlan! You can't do this!"

　　Merverlan looked at the hand I had shaken with Gabe, his eyes filled with disgust, then he quickly grabbed me by the neck, he said sarcastically, "Oh? Are you defending your sweetie now?"

　　"Let go of me! Merverlan!" and I called his name directly, without the Alpha title, and I heard an intake of breath behind me; no one in the pack was allowed to call an Alpha by name directly, including the Heir.

　　But it occurred to me that their fight would cause a fight in the pack, and I didn't want the Alpha to see the consequences with Luna.

　　"Merverlan!!! you are Alpha, you can't be so childish!" I growled at him angrily.

　　But Merverlan's fingers tightened even more and I ...... could barely breathe. "Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can influence my decisions? You're nothing but a dog raised by our family."

　　Merverlan s vicious words like a sharp knife into my heart, he finally said his true words, he never respected me, so I have to obey all his arrangements like a dog, otherwise he will not be able to satisfy his perverted possessive desire.

　　"Let ...... me go!" I slapped the back of his hand angrily, but his pupils were filled with fire and he really wanted to strangle me now.

　　Suddenly Gabe let out a growl and transformed, his wolf was as big as Merverlan's and he quickly slammed into Merverlan.

　　Merverlan couldn't dodge and his whole body was slammed against the wall at the back of the classroom, his mouth was bleeding, I don't know why but seeing him hurt made my heart ache, I immediately ran over and tried to help him up.

　　But once again he pushed me away in disgust.

　　He stood up, ready to be converted.

　　Alpha Ysmael's angry growl stood between him and the gift.

　　"Mervelan! Don't provoke a fight!" Alpha Ysmael's power could not be ignored, but Merverlan was on the verge of rage, and he let his wolfishness take over as he stared at Gabe with a death glare.

　　"Merverlan! I ...... command your wolf to stand down!" Alpha Ysmael growled at him with the power of an Alpha, everyone in the classroom felt fear, they had all seen what Alpha Ysmael looked like when he fought.

　　Cruel, bloodthirsty, no one could defeat him. And Merverlan had just inherited all of his powers! His form was already as powerful as Alpha Ysmael's, and if he were to fight his father, it would be hard to tell who the winner would be.

　　"God! What the hell is going on here Merverlan, are you trying to kill your father?" Luna Noemi heard the news and ran in as well.

　　Merverlan saw the sad look on his mother's face, he let out a hiss of anger and quickly ran out of the classroom.

　　But as he left, his eyes were on me again, his eyes hiding disappointment ......

　　Why disappointment? It was as if I had really betrayed him.
