Chapter 55 Campus Gossip
Lira’s POV:
Finished
I stroked Sun’s fur softly, my voice cold as ice. “Ms. Malcom, this is exactly what you told them to do to me. I’m just paying you back.
“See how nice I’m being to you? I told them to do every single thing you said–didn’t add a word. These are all the games you love, so I had to let you have a taste.
“Why not just be a rich kid and leave me alone? To this day, I still don’t get it. What did I ever do to you to make you set up all these ‘fun‘ things?”
Christine’s eyes were red from crying. She begged me, her voice cracking, “Please! Let me go! I’ll never do it again, I swear! I really won’t! Make them stop, please!“,
I checked the time and figured that was enough. I told the guys to stop.
Then I looked down at the mess of a woman on the ground and sneered. “Ms. Malcom, stay out of my sight from now on. If you do anything to tick me off again, I won’t go easy on you.”
With that, I grabbed the camera, pulled out the memory card, and turned to walk out the door.
Even though Christine tried to mumble her curse under her breath, my sharp ears caught every word clearly.
“Lira, I swear I’ll get you back. This ain’t over!”
I didn’t glance back. I let out a cold, mocking laugh.
Monday morning, as soon as I walked into school, I felt eyes on me from every which way–disgusted, jealous, mad, even some just glad to see me messed up.
The second I walked into class, the whole room went silent.
Laura rushed over, grabbed my arm, and asked in a panic, “Did you hear what’s going on today?”
I shook my head, a little confused.
Laura pulled out her phone and handed it to me. “Look for yourself. Someone posted something on the school forum. They’re saying you hit on Michael, that you’re trying to move up in the world and break up Barbara and him.”
I looked at the forum. The big headline read, “Lowly Omega Lira–Too Cocky to Know Her Place, Tries to Hit on High–Rank Werewolf and Steal Her Guy.”
Under it was a photo of me getting out of Michael’s sports car.
And the comments? Total hate fest.
[Lira acts all innocent and stuck–up, but she’s just a creep.]

[Right? No wonder she acts like she’s better than everyone. Turns out she’s just after someone with money and power.]
[Barbara must be crushed.]
[Barbara and Michael are both high–rank werewolves from noble families. They’re perfect together. Lira’s just a lowly Omega.]
[Yeah! Who does Lira think she is? Doing something this shameful. She’s a joke.]
[How’d she even get into this school? We need to tell the school to kick her out! Even better, sign a petition to the Alpha to boot her from the Silverwhip Pack!]
I scanned a few comments, then smiled calmly.
Laura patted my arm worriedly. “Lira, aren’t you mad? How can they say all that just from one photo? That’s so messed up!
