Pain pulsated through my veins from the spot Sabrina had stabbed me. My body shook violently as my skin burned from the effect of the silver. I could no longer sit still as I kept whimpering in pain.

I rubbed my clammy hands on my uniform, grunting from the pain that coursed through my veins as a bead of sweat formed on my head. Kael stole a few glances at me, stepping on the accelerator, but neither of us tried to break the silence.

I felt hot from within and was on the edge of pulling off my uniform when the car finally came to a halt. Kael ran out of the driver’s seat to help me step out when he carried me bridal style mid way.

I wanted to pull away because we were at home and we’d only make things worse if either of our parents saw us like this, but I didn’t have any strength to fight, as my body trembled against his.

“Where is the healer?” Kael snapped at a maid who ran into us midway. I could feel his erratic heartbeats from how close we were, and I wondered if he was really worried about me.

“S-she is in her quarters,” the maid answered, but Kael was already running towards her room.

He banged on her door violently, yelling for her name when the door finally creaked open. She narrowed her eyes, but as soon as she noticed Kael, she stepped aside, paving the way for him to walk in.

He placed me on the couch in the most gentle way ever, as if he was afraid of adding to my pain before snapping his head to the healer.

“She was stabbed with silver. Do whatever you can to stop her pain.”

His voice sounded strained, but it was hard to detect the emotions beneath it. Was he mad or scared?

The healer scattered her room, searching for her god knows what before inhaling sharply. She brought out a box and began to clean my wounds while Kael held my hands.

I squeezed his hands, grunting in pain as the healer treated my wounds. “It’s going to sting a little,” she warned before applying an ointment and a scream tore out of my throat.

I didn’t realize how hard I was clutching onto Kael until the pain subdued and my eyes fell on his white knuckles.

I released my grip in an instant and allowed the healer to do her thing. She didn’t ask any questions, but I didn’t miss the way she kept glancing at Kael with weird looks when she saw the bruises on my body.

The imprint of his bites was still visible on my inner thigh, and I couldn’t help but blush.

The fact that Alpha Zane or my mother hadn’t shown up says that they weren’t at home, and I couldn’t be more at ease. My mother would kill me if she saw any of those marks, and I didn’t even want to imagine what Alpha Zane would do.

As soon as she finished cleaning up my wounds, she arranged the box and returned it to where she picked it from. “That would help with the pain. If you’ll excuse me now.”

She rushed out of the room before any of us could speak, and silence dropped into the room. My breath hitched as I recall all the brutal things Sabrina did in school.

Kael stared at me for a moment. His expression remained unreadable when he finally broke the silence. “There’s no point in hiding things anymore,” he muttered, and my breath caught. “Our parents must have seen the videos, and if they haven’t, someone will eventually show them.”

I knew Kael was right, but the mere thought of them finding out what happened between Kael and I made my body still.

“Can we still do something about it? Is there a way to stop them from watching the video if they haven’t seen it already?” I asked before I could stop myself.

He leaned closer, but before he could even reply to me, I cut him off. “You have nothing to worry about. My

mother would kick me out as soon as she arrived, and that’d be the end of it all. You don’t have to suffer any consequences either. I’m certain the pack will move on as soon as I’m out of the picture.”

I bit back my lips, knowing how this was going to end. My mother would make me take all the blame, and I knew she’d do everything to protect Kael just to make Alpha Zane happy.

Kael kept his gaze fixed on me, and when I thought he wasn’t going to say anything, he finally broke the silence.

“You won’t take the fall for something we both did. Not under my watch.”

I shook my head, knowing how this was going to end, but he didn’t seem to be having any of it.

“If your mother is who you’re worried about, then be rest assured that I’d protect you from her,” he said, holding my gaze as he spoke. “I’m not going to allow anyone to kick you out of here, especially not your mother.”

He sounded so confident, and I wondered what he was going to do once Alpha Zane found out or once my mother manipulated his father into kicking me out or marrying me off to someone once again.

I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to argue, and when he saw my reaction, he simply nodded. He helped me return to my room, and as soon as he left, the pain returned in a double fold.

My entire body ached from the cuts, and even though the healer had treated the wounds, it felt like my body was on fire. I lay on the bed, slowly drifting to sleep after whimpering on the same spot for hours, when I heard the sound of a car pulled up in the driveway.

My body stiffened as I looked forward to my mother unleashing her wrath on me. She had been waiting for opportunities to kick me out, and now that I’ve given her one, I was certain she wouldn’t miss this chance.

I knew Kael assured me that no one would lay a hand on me, but it was easy for him to say that because he was the future Alpha. No one can mess with him but me? I’m a nobody, and even if the world ceased to bully me, my mother could never see me any differently. To her, I’m just a thorn on her flesh; someone she couldn’t wait to get rid of.

I wondered if I’d ever see Kael again after all of this.

“How are you still thinking about him in this situation?” A voice scoffed in my head.

Sabrina’s words flashed in my head, and then Damon. Those two are people who knew Kael better than I do, and if they were so certain he was using me, I wondered if any of the words he said were true.

As much as I hated to admit it, a part of me felt like they were telling the truth, and if that was the case, I’m as good as dead.

The sound of my mother’s heels clicked against the wall harshly, and I snapped my eyes closed, awaiting her wrath before the door was yanked open.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you so determined to ruin every good thing I worked hard for? What the hell was that video of you trending in school? Do you know how embarrassing that was? Do you have any idea how ashamed I felt when I saw it?”

She asked in a single breath, and as usual, it was about her and her feelings and never about how I was doing.

I remained quiet, silently waiting for her to drag me out of the mansion and into the street. “Do you seriously enjoy how miserable our lives were before we moved in here? Why are you so keen to look after your useless father? Would you die if you had taken my traits?”

Her body trembled with rage, and I wasn’t even surprised to see her reaction. I guess I was just disappointed.

“And once again, you didn’t care to ask what happened or how your daughter got maimed and almost paralyzed,” I mumbled under my breath.

“Would you have cared if they had brought my corpse home today? At least, that way you wouldn’t keep getting disappointed each time you see me, right?”

“Don’t you dare speak to me like that,” she sneered.

“You saw your daughter covered up in injury, and you didn’t even ask if I was fine. Instead, you jumped to

conclusion that it was my fault. That I deserve it. How do you even sleep at night?”

“You ungrateful child!” She shrieked. “If you cared about my opinion that much, how come you never do anything to make me proud? How come all you ever do is make me regret not killing you with your useless father?”

Her voice rose with each word she spoke, and I couldn’t believe my ears. When did she ever pay attention to me talk less of giving me a chance to impress her?

“Why should I even impress you? I’m your daughter for fuck sake-”

She threw her hands in the air, and I snapped my eyes close, waiting for her hands to sting my cheeks, when the door swung open and Kael’s cold voice filled the air.

“Don’t you dare.”
