One of the moms snatched my phone and smashed it. "Calling your sugar daddy for help?"
"Probably has a whole lineup of rich men on call!"
They roared with laughter, thinking they were so clever.
I looked at my crushed phone and said quietly, "Keep laughing. You won't be for long."
They found that hilarious.
"The paramour Luna trying to act tough?"
"Ashley's Alpha runs Steele Pack. You're nothing but a stray wolf about to be banished, and when the time comes, bring your punk ass pup with you, and mother and daughter can sell your bodies together. ."
The mockery grew louder. Some spat at me again. Some of them raised dust from the ground with their wolf tails, making my eyes ache.
Ashley dug her heel into my face, grinning. "Me? Regret anything? Never. Let's see you try to make me regret."
The parents erupted in cheers. It seemed like they had seen me on my knees begging Ashley for mercy.
I turned to Mrs. Thompson. "You knew they were hurting my daughter, didn't you?"
She looked at me like I was dirt. "Yeah, so what? The illegitimate daughter of a mistress can be disposed of by Luna of any Pack. "
"Tyler did us all a favor. It was the duty of a good pup like him to help the werewolf world kill bad werewolves. ."
"Finally, a teacher who tells it like it is!"
"This is Alpha Wolf Cub Academy . We have standards."
"Why waste education on her kid? Just teach her to hunt rich men like mommy!"
Ashley enjoys every compliment, her ugly wolf's tail exposed and wagging triumphantly. I seemed to have caught a whiff of the tawdry odor.
"This is what you get. Once trash, always trash. You and your brat belong in the gutter!"
Their insults rained down. The crowd grew, everyone eager to join the attack.
Each cruel word made Ashley's smile wider.
Mrs. Thompson saw her chance. " Luna, the principal has a small favor to ask. We're expanding the school, and Steele Pack owns all the surrounding land..."
Ashley waved her hand dismissively. "Consider it done. Magnus will sign it over. You've earned it today."
Mrs. Thompson beamed. "You're too kind, Mrs. Walker."
The parents pounced like sharks smelling blood.
"My Pack has worked with Steele Pack before. Keep us in mind?"
"Our Pack's expanding too. We'd love to partner up."
"Here's my VIP shopping card. Let's stay in touch."
They shoved business cards and credit cards into her bag, desperate for her attention.
Ashley soaked it up like a queen holding court.
She towered over me, voice dripping venom. "See this? This is real power."
"You'll spend your life on your knees, begging for scraps. But me? I live in a world you can't even imagine."
Even Mrs. Thompson joined in, kicking me.
"Leave my mommy alone!" my daughter screamed.
Tyler knocked her down with a kick.
Mrs. Thompson patted his head. "Good boy, Tyler. You'll get a special award tomorrow!"
He smirked. "Next time I'll hurt her even worse."
From the ground, through bloody lips, I spat: "You'll regret this."
They howled with laughter.
"A whore making threats?"
"The Luna of the Steele Pack could crush you like a bug!"
"Pathetic! Just kill yourself already!"
They pinned me down, spitting and laughing.
Ashley dug her stiletto into my cheek.
"Regret? Please. I'd love to see you try."
Right then, a fleet of black SUVs roared up to the school gates.
Men in suits poured out, moving with military precision...
