1. New Year, New Girl?
This year was supposed to start like any other year here at our school. The worst of the worst always gets sent here as teenagers. But who runs the school? Not the adults, that's for sure. We are the one school that has to have more security than a police station. We have metal detectors at every entrance and exit. And not only that, our teachers are more like correctional officers. All the teachers at this school except for one math teacher, are heartless and mean to everyone. In their eyes, everyone is a criminal that comes here.
You could have stolen a piece of bread for your family, and you would still be the one in the wrong. I mean if you did that you wouldn't end up here with us.
My name is Malachi Parker. I run this school. Me and my brothers of Alphas. Not blood related, but still brothers, of course. There are five Alphas, including me, that are involved in this gang. We have associates, of course, but the main gang is Vincent Callum the future Alpha of Blood Lust pack, Ethan Blake the future Alpha of the Dark Shadows Pack, Nickolas Darke the future Alpha of the Midnight Pack, and then last but not least, is Owyn Hayes the future Alpha of the Crystal Blood Pack.
If you haven't figured it out, our names spell out Venom. So we started getting called that. We rule this school. Not a single person can touch us, at least they don't because they don't want to deal with the consequences. We are the strongest packs in the world. All of our parents have Alpha blood.
I'm sitting in my room thinking about what we will be doing this year for our senior year. Every year we do something different with the school. While I stay in my dorm, I run my hands through my long blonde hair.
Me and my boys all share the biggest dorm room. First-year student year we didn't. But when nobody else wants you as a dorm roommate, what else could they do? Haha, jokes on them.
Vince is in the shower, and the other three are getting dressed and bullsh*tting on who to harass on the first day of school. I personally am antsy, and I never get this way.
"Bro, what's going on?" Nick asks. "You look like you are running a marathon in your da*n chair." He says with his arms crossed over his chest. One eyebrow raised. He's only got his pants on.
"My wolf is acting weird. Don't know why. Nothing has changed." I sighed.
"Well, maybe you'll meet your second-chance mate. We have been in our own packs for a few months." He says with a smirk, then pats my shoulder.
"OH God, that's the f*cking last thing I need is a damn mate." I groaned. I hate having someone picked out for me. I would rather rule my pack by my da*n self.
"Just because your first mate rejected you, doesn't mean your second-chance will. Everything happens for a reason, man. I just hope you give her a shot." Nick sighs, starting to turn away.
"Watch, his second-chance mate will be a nerdy un-trained omega." Ethan jokes.
"Watch my foot up your a*s E." I said back, standing up. He is still laughing at me. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Why does E look like he just smoked some Jane without me?" Vince came out of the bathroom shaking the water out of his long blue hair.
"They're just talking sh*t, not smoking." I said while lighting a cigarette. Not a lot of wolves smoke, but we aren't most wolves.
"Let's go. We will find out our target of the week." I said as we headed out the door.
Lilith's POV
"I can't believe I just have to go to this stupid school." I yelled at my parents in the car.
"Honey, this wasn't our idea. It was -" My mom started.
"it was the almighty Alpha King's doing," I mocked. F*ck him.
"Lilith Ann, stop that right now!" my dad yelled.
I'm getting sent to this God-forsaken school due to my so called mate not only rejecting me, but tried to also humiliate me, and be with his wh*re
"So why am I the only one being sent away?" I said angrily. My arms crossed over my boobs.
"Because we can't have you two in the same city if we want the pack to keep standing. When everyone was told what happened, they were afraid you'd do it there too. No matter how much we explained what happened." My mom asks. I just huff and stay silent.
As we pulled up to this huge gate, I realized it wasn't going to stop people from coming in. It's to stop us from getting out.
"This is a f*cking prison." I mumbled. But because of werewolf hearing, not only do my parents give me the look, but the 'officer' gives me a look like he's saying 'you're gonna be trouble for me.'
"Language, young lady." My dad says sternly.
So being the smartass I am, I smile at him. I look innocent while my parents see me, but once they turn around and the officer glances at me again, I give him the most evil and mischievous smile I could ever give anyone. He looks scared and hurriedly opens the gate.
Mom sighs, "what did you just do?"
"I smiled, mother dearest." mockingly acting innocent.
"Before you know it, you'll be home again. Just be careful and no trouble." Dad says.
"Then you shouldn't have brought me to THIS SCHOOL FOR TROUBLEMAKERS." I yelled at them as we pulled up to the front door of this huge building.
It's beautiful. Red and black bricks are decorated along this large and wide front. The doors are a solid black color. It looks like the building just wraps around.
"It would be so beautiful without the guards." I said as over 10 officers went in and out of the building with tasers and guns. Even though they can't kill us, they still f*cking hurt.
"It's for your protection. But before we leave, promise me one thing, hunny." Mom says, and she turns around in her seat to look me in the eyes.
"I'll stay out of trouble mom." I said as I rolled my eyes and started gathering my 2 bags from the back seat.
"Stay away from Venom. " Just as my mom says this, 5 gorgeous tattooed guys walked past our car. They are trying to look in the back. Even with our heightened senses, my family's car is sound-proof and so tinted, it's blacked out.
Then I see him. The man in front with the beautiful long blonde hair slicked back, with a cigarette in his mouth. Tattoos stop at his jawline, which looks like it was chiseled by a God.
My eyes widened.
"That's Venom." Mom says without even looking at them. " No Venom Lilith, do you hear me?" She says more sternly than I ever heard her before.
I couldn't do anything but nod. I'm still looking at who I think is the leader. Then I slowly took in the rest of the boys. Every single one of them is tattooed from their necks and down.
One has blue hair with green eyes. Long and in his face. Amazing bone structure with a leather cut on with no shirt under it. All I see is abs and that V line.
Another was with long blonde hair, but a curly and messy style that fit him. Dark blue eyes and wearing a white beater. I also see a 6 pack underneath it.
One has black hair slicked back with the brightest baby blue eyes I have ever seen, with a chin strap of facial hair and with his eyebrow pierced.
Then one with brown hair, long and past his shoulders, curly and hazel eyes. He has a little beard, but it's groomed. He looked like a werewolf version of Aquaman to the humans.
"Why are they called Venom?" I asked. Actually quite curious.
"They are a gang of Alphas that torment others. Stay away, Lilith. If I lost you, I'd go to war with every single one of their packs, and I know I'd win. They don't know who you are, keep it that way." Dad says, staring down the leader.
"Okay, I'm sorry. I'll be good, I promise. " I said. I don't want to stay here, but at least if I'm good, maybe I can come home.
Malachi's POV
As I make these little hoodlums leave the Alpha King's Betas car alone. (I saw the license plate, I'm not stupid, it is literally AKBETA1) I get hit with the most delicious scent I ever smelt in my entire life. It smells like salted caramel covered apple, with a hint of a spice I can't put my finger on. I turned around slowly as I heard a car door get slammed shut. Then I saw her. A beautiful girl with long, long curly hair. The top half is black, and it fades into a bright blood-red color. She has one blue eye and one red eye. Interesting. A pierced eyebrow, nose & the Monroe piercing along with tattoos covering her arms and chest. She's wearing a tight white tank top that is tucked into her black leggings, and is always wearing black timberland boots.
This girl looks like a mercenary. My wolf, Zues says.
I chuckle in and outside my head.
She gives me the death glare, then I raise my right eyebrow.
A woman, who might be her mother, cleared her throat and then whispered to the girl as I turned around and walked away slowly.
"Remember, no trouble. No Venom." the woman says sternly.
That time I laugh out loud as my guys look at me funny.
"Mom quit it, we aren't in the car anymore. They can hear you!" she whispers.
"I don't care if Malachi" she pauses and then looks at me as I flicked my cigarette into the street," he knows who we are, and I'm not the momma bear to play with." She is now giving me a death stare not a lot of wolves could handle. I smirk at her and lick my lips just to piss her off.
She knows why I'm here. She's one of the reasons I'm here, because she wanted to believe the lies, just like the da*n Alpha King. But I didn't know she knew about Venom. We didn't start our 'group' until sophomore year.
"I'm fine and I won't! Bye mom, I'll call you later." the girl says.
"Lilith Ann, come back and give me a hug." The Beta now says while hanging halfway out of his car door.
Lilith? Hmm, sounds like a snack I could lick all night long. Zeus purrs.
Dude, what the actual hell? You're a wolf, not a dam*n cat. Quit purring. I argued back with him. If I wasn't in public, I'd facepalm myself.
Just as I was about to open the door to the front of the school, her hand accidentally touched mine, and I felt a spark of electricity go up my arm.
Both of our eyes widened.
"What the fu*k?" "Oh f*ck that, I'm out." We both yell out at the same time, and she runs into the building, ignoring all the metal detectors going off and security trying to stop her. She turns her head towards them with bright orange eyes and growls, "back the f*ck down."
I couldn't move. My d*mn mate had to be the Alpha King's Beta's daughter? Plus, she not only does she has a d*amn attitude, it doesn't look like she wants a mate neither. Maybe this would work out for us.
Don't you dare think about it. I want her. You know I like them feisty. I wanna see her naked. Zeus says in a s****l tone.
NO MATE. I yelled back at him. THEY MAKE US WEAK.
She will make us strong. Don't be so stupid you i***t. Zeus grumbles and then heads to the back of my mind.
Zues is strong. I'm going to have to actually stay away from her.
"Bro, we have an issue," Owyn says.
"What's the issue?" I answered while gritting my teeth, watching her run.
"Well, if I'm correct, we are all screwed. Because every single one of us is the little Beta's mate." He mindlinks me.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" I said out loud. Every single person in the hall stops moving but Lilith. She still pushes people out of the way to get away from me. From us.
"Mindlink idiot." Nick says.
I close my eyes and try to breathe in and out. When I open my eyes, Bella is standing in front of me with her s****l eyes, and Lilith stopped running. She froze on the spot, staring at me and Bella. Bella had her hand on my chest and stepping forward. Lilith's eyes shone bright back to her wolf's eyes. She breathed hard, and I think she was about to snap Bella in half. I smirk. Not only do I want to prove I don't need a mate, but I want to see how worked up she's going to get with this. So I grab the back of Bella's neck, and forcefully kiss her as hard as I can.
Bella has her hands wrapped in my hair, and her eyes closed. My eyes are on Lilith's. Right as she takes a step towards us, a girl named Raylynn grabs her arm. "Lilly, don't. I got you baby." Lilith turned to look at her with with anger and maybe sadness in her eyes. I don't know why, the girl was running from me in the first place.
I growl. Bella doesn't budge, but Lilith flinches.
"Dude, that's fu*ked up. You might not want your mate, but we fu*king do. If you fu*k this up for me, we will have issues." Ethan mindlinked me.
"Come on, Bella's a hoe. And you don't want Venom," Raylynn says.
I now push Bella onto the floor and start walking towards them, growling with my claws out.
"What the hell Kai? What's wrong with you?" Bella growls out. But I ignore her. Now I'm running towards Lilith.
"Back down before I burn your 4 other boys." Lilith growls in a mindlink.
I froze mid-step. "How are you mindlinking me?" I asked back.
Her eyes were now widened, she just surprised me once again. How? How could she without us being marked? She grabs the other girl's hand and sprints to a closing elevator door. When I'm struck out of my initial shock by Vic smacking the back of my head with a questionable look, all of us in Venom go to chase after her, but it closes right when we get to the door, with her smiling evilly at me.
"You just made an enemy out of me, mate." She then mindlinked me as the elevator starts moving.
Hahaha, I really like our mate. Zeus snorts.
Shut up you giant fleabag. I retort.
"We definitely have an issue." I mindlink the 4 members of Venom.
They all nod, as they stare at the elevator numbers until they stop moving.
It finally stopped on the 6th floor.
We all smirk. Our floor.
Let the games begin, little mate.
