HER PAIN, HER STRENGTH

5. Who could he be?

Freya’s POV

I decide to head to school earlier than everybody else, it's better if they all find me seated. I am panting heavily after the fleet of stairs towards the classroom. I am glad that no one is here to make fun of me.

I proceed to my desk, I sigh in relief after I take my seat.

My heart is beating so fast, thank goodness I always have a water bottle in my leather bag. I take my one litre bottle and gulp it down, placing my empty bottle back in my bag. I take out my ear pods and play my favorite song at full volume. I notice that other students have started storming in class, I decide to focus on my work.

Oh no! I think I am becoming sick because of the water I just gulped. I feel my hoodie pocket, S**t, I don't have my minty gums, Oh! right, I changed it today. I am completely f****d.

Someone removes my ear pods bringing me back to my reality. The reality that I will never have a peaceful life, ever. I hate my life for sure.

I raise my head slowly, my heart almost freezes as I am met by Luke's beautiful eyes, I really hate him, but his eyes…

“Why were you ignoring me, fatty?” He asks, frothing in anger. A sharp pain flushes through my stomach as he calls me fatty. I know I am fat but does he have to keep reminding me?

“I am sorry Luke, I was listening to music.” I apologize, it's still morning and I don't want my day to start up like this.

“Wow, who knew she could listen to music.” He says in a sarcastic tone loud enough for the whole class to heat. The entire class bursts in uniform laughter. I feel a lump in my throat, but there is nothing I can do about it. He is the Alpha's son, and I can't risk us being thrown out of this pack. “Can you feel the stench, everyone?" He adds pinching his nose.

“Of course Luke, ever since I stepped into class all I could smell was something weird, like sweat and staff, I can't really place it.” Sawyer chips in.

“Did you shower, fatty.” Luke asks. I don't say a thing, I just look at my book as I fight the tears.

You have to be a strong girl, after all you have passed through way worse than this. I tell myself.

“Asnwer me, b***h.” He shouts and shoves me a little, I don't bulge though, I am way huge for just a shove. But it hurts me, it hurts my spirit. Each passing day, they manage to break me, bits by bits. I think I will be over soon if this continues, I don't even know if I can take this much longer.

Should I retaliate?

“Please Luke, I haven't done anything…" Before I can finish my statement, the contents I have been trying so hard to keep in my stomach spills, and not on anything else but on Luke. I empty all the water I had, and much more, the food I had for dinner and my apple too. I tremble in fear as I see his face turning red, his eyes start glowing in rage.

“I am truly sorry, please forgive me, I didn't mean it, .” I stand up from my locker and I Kneel in front of him. I don't even know how I get the strength to even bend my knees. Luke's mouth remains open.

S**t, I knelt on my own puke. I can feel it going through my pants. What's all this?

“Ewe! baby, what's all this.” A tall, slender girl comes rushing to his side. “Gross, baby, you need to punish her, make her eat her puke baby.” Her words make me recoil, what if Luke ends up doing that to me?

“You heard her.” Luke finally speaks, his blue eyes burning with rage.

“What?”

“Bend that shapeless a** and lick the floor dry.” He utters in in a most hateful tone, his words hurting my very soul. I don't even know why his words have this effect on me.

“You are joking, right?” I ask just to make sure. He can't expect me to eat my puke, Alpha or not, he has no right to do that to me. He gets his wet shirt off and throws it on my face, he does the same with his trousers. He undressees right before me, leaving me in shock. I am just out of words, he is drop-dead gorgeous.

He remains with only his boxers, which leave nothing to my imagination. By the bulge in his boxers, I can actually tell how blessed he is. How could a 'god' like him be this mean?

“Take off your hoodie and wipe the floor with it now before I male you lick it.” He orders, towering over me. I can hear a hint of satisfaction in his tone. It's like he enjoys making my life miserable.

“I can't take my hoodie off, Luke, please have mercy on me.” I beg him, still on my knees. The burning on my knees is killing me, I have been kneeling for quite a while now.

“You should have thought of that before doing this." he says. "Baby can you go live, this is something that the world needs to see, I mean look at all the meat she has.” He turns to look at his girlfriend as she films me removing my hoodie. I can't stop the hot tears from streaming down my face.

I have been bullied before, but not to this extent.

“Look at how many likes I am getting, baby, look.” The slender girl jumps up and down as she shows Luke her phone.

“Wow that's right baby.” He gives her a peck on her lips, I look away immediately, I don't know why, but I feel some kind of jealousy seeing her in Luke's arms.

I guess It's because I want to be like her.

I continue wiping the floor slowly, sniffling as tears fall uncontrollably off my eyes. I am sure I am now so red from all the crying. My eyes must be puffy too.

“What the heck, Luke, how could you do this to someone?” A voice I have not heard yet says. Who is that challenging the Alpha. He must be so brave to do that.

I raise my head from the floor to take a look at him. I see him in slow motion as he approaches the back of the class.

His long black hair flows freely to his shoulders, he looks arrogantly attractive. It's insane, he looks three times cuter than Luke. For him, cuteness comes naturally. He is dressed up in all Black, a black rugged trouser, a black T-shirt and a leather jacket. He even has black shoes on. I think it's his favorite color. His appearance screams bad-boy vibe. I can also tell that he is older than everyone in this class.

Everyone disperses and goes back to their desks, leaving only Luke standing there.

“Stop doing that miss, someone will take care of that.” He says, looking at me with what I read as concern.

“Don't you dare stop Freya, it's an order from your Alpha.” Luke says.

“Freya I said stop.” The new guy says to me. Why are they confusing me, and who is this new guy?

“Oh please Luke, just stop it and go put on some clothes. Martin, take care of this mess now.” The new guy says, I see a guy shoot up from his seat and rushes outside. He comes back almost immediately with a mop bucket and a mopper. “Come Freya.” He says, offering his hand to me, who am I not to take the help. I stretch my hand, and he helps me up.

I feel so embarrassed because of my appearance and my exposed body.

“Pick your staff up, I will take you home.” He commands. I don't know why, but I obeyed him unquestionably.

I am thankful because at least he helped me, I don't know what could have happened to me if he hadn't arrived.

Who could he be, though?

“Thank you for helping me.” I say as I follow the mysterious guy downstairs towards the main gate.

“It's fine, Luke can be an a** sometimes.” He says in an uninterested tone. I can tell that he isn't interested in speaking to me, so I just keep quiet and follow suit. When we get to the main gate, he speaks something to the gate woman, she stares at me for a while before nodding.

“Okay you can go home now, you need to change and refresh. I will take my leave now.” He says the moment we step out of the gate. I thought he was taking me home. I feel so bad. How could I be so delusional, how can a smoking hot guy like that take a girl like me home? I think looking at myself, I am wet from all the puke, I am even stinking a little.

Without looking back at me, he hops on his motorbike and rides away, leaving me just wondering and grateful at the same time.

I take a prolonged sigh before I drag myself back home.
