Claiming His Silver Alpha Breeder

Chapter 9: Retaliation Part 2

Lilac’s P.O.V

Once I had done collecting all the assignments, I placed the heavy pile of files onto her desk, even though I knew she was going to make me take it to the staff room later on.

“Back to your seat.” She said gruffly and I followed orders, going back to plop down on my chair before pulling my hoodie over my head.

It wasn’t really cold inside the classroom, but I had enough bull for the day. With the $500 tucked safely inside a pocked in my jeans, I could rest assured that even if the slut-squad tried to take the money back later, by force…they wouldn’t be able to find it easily. And why should I give it back? I had every right to it, especially after all the s**t she put me through.

“For your next assignment, you’ll be partnered into pairs.”

Whispers immediately took over the class as everyone started to decide who they wanted to pair with, that was until Mrs. Douglas’s next announcement. “Pairs that I will decide.” Immediately, the whispers turned to groans.

I turned out the rest of the class as I took out my scheduler and checked what classes I had next and also how my work-study balance fit into my schedule for the next week. I kept changing it weekly to keep things from getting boring and monotonous in my f****d up life. Sometimes it helped…sometimes it made me want to rip a few throats out and bath in their blood.

“Lilac and Liam Hunter.”

The commotion in the room suddenly cut off as I became unnaturally still. “What?” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop myself.

“Is there a problem?” Mrs. Douglas looked like she could eat me alive. She was a middle aged woman with bright orange hair and green eyes and she loved her red lipsticks and floral dresses. Now, as she looked up at me…it oddly looked like she was licking her lips in anticipation for a fight.

“No.” I sank back in my seat , avoiding eye contact.

“Good, because changing partners will mean a credit deduction.” She said slyly. “So either deal with it, or fail.”

Several more groans and a few giggles before Mrs. Douglas started to call out names again.

I felt someone’s eyes bore into mine from across the room and when I looked up, I was startled to find Liam Hunter with his eyes narrowed at me. He looked exactly like his father; the same golden hair and green eyes and the same angular face as Beta Luca. However…I knew for a fact that he hated my guts for all the attention his father gave me; so far as to giving me his surname.

The sound of the bell ringing broke me out of my trance and I realized that I had been staring at him for longer than I had wanted to. Fetching my bag, I got up from my seat and headed to the teacher’s desk, taking the assignment pile without question as I followed Mrs. Douglas out of the class and to the staff room, so she could assign the credits.

I turned and left once she waved me off dismissively and thankfully, Dani was already waiting for me outside the staff room to catch up with me, so I was grateful for her.

“Ugh…” she shuddered as she went through the list of books I had to make reports on. “How on earth are you even surviving this? I couldn’t even tell the difference between Shakespeare and Coleridge for God’s sake and they’re from different eras!”

“At least you remembered that.” I gave a laugh at Dani’s sour expression as she handed me back the assignment broacher. “How was your first class?”

“Boring,” she shrugged as we headed to the stairs that led to the ground floor. “At least I have AP Bio with you. By the way, I just heard from mom this morning that my g-”

“Watch out!”

I don’t know who screamed, but when I turned around to heed that warning…it was already too late.

Someone bumped into me, and not too lightly and before I knew what was happening, my feet slipped at the top of the stairs and I fell backwards.

It felt like everything happened in slow motion…the way I fell back…

My heart slammed against my ribcage, and for a second, everything came to a standstill.

I saw several faces standing over me…Dani being one of them…and then there was Serena, standing to the side and smirking…

The feeling of free fall brought on a feeling of helplessness as I flailed my hands around, trying to grab onto something…anything…before I fell…but nothing came into my grasp.

And then, my head hit something with a crunch of a sound…

Pain exploded all over my body.

Darkness consumed me a second later, and I was out cold.
