The 'Mate'

'That's her.'

'The human from Class 2?'

'Prince Damon is bidding on her.'

'I heard she seduced him.'

'With a body like that?'

'So plain.'

'I wonder how indignant Lexa right now.'

Her head hung lower as she walked through the corridor.

The looks--- glares from other shifter students can't go unnoticed.

They are mumbling things in a volume meant to be heard by her normal hearing.

I mean, of course.

Damon Knight never took part in a bidding before.

So him holding off yesterday's foolishness won't be ignored.

She's thankful that he did, but at the same time, baffled.

It's just the second day and she's already the subject of gossips.

Most are complete nonsense.

However, she couldn't help but agree at everybody's question.

Why indeed?

Approaching her classroom, she noticed a group of female shifters standing by the door.

They're chattering with one another, some leaning against the door frame.

These girls are not from her class.

Deciding to ignore them, she continued walking.

But upon stepping closer, six pair of eyes landed on her.

She froze as her heart starts to race in fear.

Those aren't just normal looks, but predatory.

Oh no, nonono, no.

These girls are not here for chit-chats, but for their prey.

Trouble.

Sensing the immediate panic from the human, a smirk arise on each girl's lips.

"Come on darling, we're not even starting yet."

One female strides forward and the human couldn't help but to step backwards.

Obviously the leader.

She wanted to run away from them, but she also know better.

Running will trigger a chase response from these animals.

"What a pathetic creature." the same girl whispered.

She's carrying this very intimidating aura around her.

A heiress.

The beauty and sophistication she possess is exceptional.

Blonde hair highlights her sapphire eyes, face and body sculpted flawlessly.

Combined by tall physique, her long slim legs elegantly shown by the school uniform's skirt.

The human just wanted to shrink into nothingness as the goddess walked closer and towered over her.

Her hands are shaking and cold sweats are building up on her forehead.

"What could you possibly have that'll interest my mate?" she stated mostly for herself, contempt vivid in face.

Confusion mixed in with the human's trepidation.

Mate?

"How can one, an utter trash, attract my Damon?"

The human didn't have the time to grasp what she just heard when her chin was harshly grabbed, forcing her to look up.

And the perfection that this lady is, is completely ruined as she spat down on the human's face with grimace.

She then pushed the tiny figure down causing her to fall on the floor.

"Pity." she whispered with absolute disgust before walking past the pathetic little form on the floor with the other five.

When left alone, she slowly stood up.

She walked towards the bathroom with clenched fist to hold the uncontainable tears brimming on her eyes.

Yet before she even reached the door, it already spilled.
