Riley’s POV
“Who the hell are you?!” the naked girl shrieked at me.
“I’m sorry. I went into the wrong room,” I said immediately, backing up.
“You were spying on us?! You disgusting sick little creep!” she kept on screaming.
Footsteps rushed up behind me. Within seconds, a crowd had gathered in the doorway, including my lovely roommates.
“Riley! What are you doing here?” Layla gasped. Her panic was ironic, considering she was the one who told me to come here for textbooks.
“I came here because you told me to. You literally said it a few minutes ago, remember?”
“No way. I would never send you here,” she denied immediately. “Everyone knows the hallway at the end of the West Wing belongs to Ezra. No one’s allowed there. Not even teachers.”
Camila crossed her arms and glared at me. “And who picks up textbooks on the first day of orientation? Everyone knows they get handed out in class.”
“So you lied and tricked me into this,” I said coldly.
“Bullshit!” Camila cried. “I didn’t even talk to you during the orientation. Everyone in our dorm saw it…Right girls?”
All the other girls in our dorm nodded instantly, eager to confirm her story. And suddenly I was this disgusting little freak who peeked on the Lycan King’s heir having sex with his girlfriend.
“Fine. So I had walked into the wrong room. I already apologized. Can I go now?”
I tried to walk past them. Camila shoved me back hard.
“What the hell is your problem?!” I snapped.
“You think you can just walk away after barging into Ezra’s space? After how you’ve intruded him?” Her voice dripped with venom. “This is the Royal Academy. We have rules here. Not like that uncivilized shithole you crawled out of.”
She looked past me and suddenly flushed. “Ezra, don’t you agree? She should be punished.”
Ezra finally sat up.
His shirt hung open, toned chest and abs on full display.
He raised an eyebrow at her but didn’t respond right away.
“So I’m supposed to be punished because I walked into the wrong room? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Obviously. That’s how the Lycan world works.” Layla said with a plastic smile. “Let me think…You should be whipped—10 lashes—and expelled from school.”
“Bullshit. Only the principal can expel me,” I said coldly.
“Wanna bet?” Camila rolled her eyes. “Girls, get her out of Ezra’s room. Make sure she’s gone for by the end of the day.”
The girls charged at me. One yanked my hair, another tore at my shirt. Their long nails dug into my skin. I tried to fight them off. “Get off me!”
Yet my resistance only made them laugh.
“Get out of our school, dog!” someone shouted. “This place isn’t for werewolves like you.”
“Yeah, disappear already!”
“You don’t’ belong here!”
They were just about to drag me out when a lazy voice called out:
“Wait.”
The room froze. They all turned and looked over to him.
Ezra strolled over, hands in his pockets, a smug grin on his face. His chest was still bare, and there were still hickeys left by his girlfriend. He radiated smug arrogance.
“Tell them to let me go,” I hissed.
He grinned wider. “I almost didn’t recognize you at the gate. Long time no see, Riley.”
There’s a collective gasp. Everyone looked utterly shocked.
“You—you know her?” Camila stuttered.
