Viktor raked his hands through his hair, not bothering to listen to his mother and father arguing.
He quickly wore his clothes and browsed through his collection of earrings before settling on a pair of red gemstones.
He wore them and pulled on his white boots before jogging down the stairs.
His two sisters were eating breakfast prepared by the maids, and they didn't even bother to say a word to him.
Viktor pulled up in front of his friend’s house, the familiar voice of Mrs Henri, his friend's mother ringing as she said goodbye to her son who she would miss for the next 6 months.
“Hey man, lovely day huh” Viktor said immediately as his best friend got into the front seat of the sleek Lamborghini.
“Hey, how was your night?” Tyler asked cheerfully, as he watched his friend switch on the ignition of the car as it revved to life.
“Cool, except for the usual nightmares and the screams from my parents, everything seems fine as usual” Viktor replied, his eyes focused on the road.
“Sorry man, look at the bright side, you won't hear such scares for like 6 months” Tyler said with a broad grin.
“Then after 6 months? I really don't want to attend Salvatore, all the Alphas that graduated from there are terrible, including the humans and other werewolves. There's something about that school that I don't really like”, Viktor said, pouring out his deepest feelings to his best friend.
“You are just being paranoid, we've been schooling there for a year now and nothing happened, apart from the usual human disappearances which we all know are caused by our clansmen”, Tyler assured.
Viktor took a deep breath, hoping that he was probably overthinking.
The car drove into the school compound from the area reserved for the werewolves.
As Salvatore was created with werewolves in mind and by werewolves, the werewolves usually received special treatment and were exempted from some rules that humans were forced to follow.
Immediately, Viktor and Tyler came down from the car, they found 5 boys waiting for them at the parking lot.
“Great! Your goons are already here waiting for you, Tyler whispered with an eye roll.
Viktor almost laughed at his statement, “They are quite useful since they help me with the dirtier side of my job while I keep my reputation pristine clean”, Viktor answered, fumbling through his pockets for a cigarette packet.
“Clean reputation? Really? Do you really believe that you have a clean reputation? Everyone in Salvatore college knows not to mess with you, no matter what bloodline they come from. Tyler laughed.
Viktor scoffed and lit the cigarette, he took a puff and exhaled, smoke escaping from his lips in ringlets.
Tyler watched his friend with dilated eyes before shifting his eyes with a low cough.
I'm off to the hostel. I need to go arrange some things, make sure you are back before lunch and also watch the way you smoke, see where they are and for your lungs”, he said, and hurried off.
Viktor scoffed at his words, he was a werewolf, and it wasn't possible for anything to happen to his lungs.
Viktor stared at him with strange eyes but didn't say anything, he just nodded in agreement.
“Hey Boss,” one of them said.
“We sniffed out the rat, he has already laid traps for him” the green-haired person said, staring at Viktor with proud eyes.
Viktor nodded at them and motioned for them to lead the way.
When they arrived at the back of a class building, Viktor sighted a whimpering boy who had been tied up by the five boys.
“Hey, we are back! Did you miss us?” Green-haired. The boy glared at him.
“Untie me if you know that you can fight me, you are all just weaklings hiding under that pathetic guy's ass” He sneered at them.
Viktor furrowed his brows and scoffed at his words.
Viktor wondered if Casper was really a fool. Did he really think that his words would be able to rile him up?
He had never touched anyone in the name of beating because he knew that he was never one to control his strength.
A single punch from him would get anyone vomiting out blood.
Viktor, who had finished smoking his first stick of cigarette for the day, threw the butt away and crushed it under his white boots.
He took out another one, but Tyler's voice rang heavily in his head. He sighed and decided not to light it for the meantime.
He put it into his mouth and chewed on it.
The five boys had already descended on Casper, beating and taunting him.
Viktor just looked on with uninterested eyes, thinking of ways he could stop Tyler from coming to school permanently so he wouldn't be able to spy on him for his father.
Just then a mesmerizing scent filled his nose, it was fleeting and made him moan in ecstasy. Viktor, who hadn't felt his wolf for a long time, now felt him again.
His wolf was straining to take over , for reasons best known to the two of them.
This was the sweet scent of their mate. They had just found their mate and, coupled with the fleshy scent in her, he knew that she was a human, a surprise he didn't expect one bit.
“Would you let him go?” a sweet voice said.
And that was when Viktor saw her.
She had fiery red hair that was packed into a ponytail, dazzling green eyes that reminded him of crystal gemstones like the one he had in his collection.
Pink pouty lips that asked to be kissed until they were swollen and blood-red.
On the bridge of her cute button nose were little freckles that looked like it had been Mischievously tipped over her nose by a naughty fairy from a pot of Pixar dust.
All in all, she was beautiful, smart and exactly what he craved for.
Viktor cracked a smile at her. “ Hey pretty, how are you doing?”
