"Is this freshman meat?"
She moved back a bit, calculating how to deal with these people. These f*****g bullies that she just met. Can the rest days be better than this because today seems so bad for her.
She looks at their faces and observes them picking up some things about them. They don't look too strong for her, so there's no need for her to be scared; she isn't even supposed to be scared irrespective of who they are.
She's a warrior and an alpha's daughter, even though she hates to admit that, but the blood of an alpha runs through her, and she's way stronger than what these people think and say about her.
If not because of her bitchy stepsister Lina, whom she had to replace, she wouldn't have been here. Her father is just so terrible, forcing his eldest daughter and heir to the throne out here as a replacement for her stepsister just because she was said to be lowborn, and for her safety she was sent here with the motive of not using her powers—just let them hit you and don't fight back because you're a replacement lowborn.
Which is bullshit!!!
If not for her twin brother, she wouldn't have been here. A father who could threaten to kill his own son just because he's crippled and mute against his own daughter if she refuses to listen to him and go to the academy in replacement of her sister. Answering her name and identity and acting like an actual lowborn.
She stared at them and then asked herself how she was going to start acting. What if they hit her and it isn't painful? Is she expected to fake a scream or cry? What if they tried making her bleed and it didn't work? Would she now start forcing herself to bleed?
This is insane! Coming here as a replacement is one thing, and now acting weak is another thing. How is she even going to control herself and stop herself from fighting back.
She's not sure if she's supposed to let them have their way with her or if she's going to go easy on them because right now she doesn't know what they want from her. Do they want to beat her up badly or sexually harass her?
For f***s sake, she just got here, so what do they even want from her now?
"I see this freshman likes what she sees!" The vampire said, This time around, and she rolled her eyes inwardly without saying a word.
They exchanged looks among themselves, and she heard one of them talking to the other loud and clear.
"Is she also mute in addition to being lowborn?" the warlock asked, and they all burst into laughter.
'Lowborn? How are they aware of that, or were they in the administration hall?' She wondered, her brows creased slightly confused.
"That will be pathetic!!"
One of the werewolves moves forward and tries grabbing her, but she immediately jumps back, and the guy's hand hangs midair.
"You all better stay away from me, or I will report you to the authorities" she warned.
"Authorities?" They released another laugh, and she frowned, moving back.
'What? They aren't scared of the authorities? Does this mean the authorities here don't really give justice? Oh, f**k!!'
"Oh little girl, you really don't know who you are talking to, but very soon you will learn" The vampire laughed.
She stared at them, and she's sure these people are not here to beat her up; they're here to harass her sexually. With that, she thought about the low ranks living here. Is this what they always face?
The same werewolf guy who once tried grabbing her moves forward and tries grabbing her again.
She immediately jumps back but then trips and falls hard on her face.
"Aww!" She yelped a bit.
"Hahahaha....." The boys immediately burst into laughter.
'f**k you, Lina, f**k you, f**k you....I can't believe I, Lyra Volkov, am here in your place and busy taking all this bullshit. I hate you for this, and I will surely get you for this, evil stepsister!!' She cursed inwardly.
She started crawling backwards trying to get away from them, but then she stopped and remembered why she was here. She isn't here for her stepsister because her father wanted her to, she's here for her brother, so she must endure all these tortures and pains for him to be free.
She braced herself and closed her eyes, ready for it, when she bumped into something soft yet hard.
"What's going on here?" Came a feminine voice, and she immediately burst her eyes open to stare up at the person.
"Good afternoon, senior!" Those boys greeted her, shocking her.
'Senior? So this girl is a senior?' She wondered inwardly.
"We were just playing and having fun with this lowborn, you know!" The warlock laughed, and she rolled her eyes inwardly.
"I know, I know, but for now this has to hold on. You can have fun with her later, because she's on my watch and care now!" The girl said, and Lyra felt relieved and grateful.
If she keeps having saviors like this, then she won't undergo any hardship over here.
"This isn't over, shorty!" They jeered at her before walking away.
When she heard their retreating footsteps, she immediately hurried to her feet, wanting to come face-to-face with her savior, and what she saw was the true epitome of beauty.
This was indeed a queen bee. Her hair was well combed and arranged neatly with her uniform was well pressed and ironed, and her skin radiated brightly, but you could see some shade of light green, and she can't really tell which species she is… maybe a snake or something.
Behind her were five other girls, all looking beautiful and delicate, but not as this queen bee. She smiled a bit because these girls were pretty as f**k.
The girls behind her were all silent, but they had their eyes on her, and something else was flashing across their faces, which she brushed off quickly.
"Hello nobody, I'm Cersei, your dorm mistress!" The girl introduced herself, and Lyra immediately frowned.
Was she just addressed as a nobody?
Hell nah!! This isn't her savior.
