Chapter 165
~Valerie’s POV~
If I had thought for even a second that the scandal circling my name would die down by morning, I was dead wrong.
I barely stepped past the front gates when the buzz hit me—hushed voices, wide eyes, phones being shoved in faces, girls whispering in corners and guys either gawking or pretending not to care.
Except... they weren’t looking at me anymore.
They were looking at her.
Titania Estrella Sage.
The Fae princess. High-cheekboned, perfect-skinned, silver-tongued royal who walked through PSA like she was too sacred to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
However, today, she looked like she’d been slapped by the gods.
Her eyes were glassy. Her stride uneven. And the moment they saw her, students leaned in to whisper just loud enough for her to hear.
"Did you see the video?"
"I heard she paid someone to leak Valerie’s clip."
"She called herself noble blood and look—caught trying to sabotage a matebond case?"
"Disgraceful."
"She’s gonna be expelled, right?"
"I heard she tried to sleep with one of the Heirs and got rejected. Twice."
"She also tried approaching the Killain Hier but he too did not pay her any heed. She’s been vengeful since I bet."
"I heard it’s been longer than that. She’s just jealous."
Each word sharpened like tiny arrows. I didn’t need to ask what happened. The guilt and venom on Titania’s face told me someone had just thrown her off her perfect pedestal—and hard.
And it had nothing to do with me.
But she didn’t care about logic. As soon as she saw me, that was all it took.
"You bitch!" Titania snapped, marching straight toward me like a storm with glitter. "You vile, scheming, insecure piece of nothing—this is your doing, isn’t it?!"
I blinked. "Excuse me?"
"You leaked that fake video! You humiliated me!"
Behind me, another round of whisper went on.
"She deserves it."
"She once called Valerie a mutt."
"Didn’t she say Valerie slept her way to the top?"
"She insulted Valerie yesterday before everyone knew she was mated to the alphas."
"Aish, lucky bitch. I wish I was the one," another girl saod, making eye contact with me.
"Metto. God, I want Alpha Kai."
"I want both Alpha Xade and Alpha Dristan then maybe Alpha Axel. Gosh, she is so lucky it makes me mad."
I shook my head internally. They could wish all they wanted, but actually living it... was hell.
