224–An Upcoming War
It‘s been a week since that messy incident, and I haven‘t received a text back from Thiago. He left for his back and didn‘t return for an entire week. I tried contacting him, but his cellphone was switched off. He did inform the principal that he needed to sort out some issues in his pack, but I found it to be a lie. No way, the timing was so perfect.
“I am so sick and tired of this Poppy.” I have just returned from school and couldn‘t be angrier at that girl. She had been on my back for no reason. Every time I pass her, she lets out a comment or two.
“What did she do this time?” Lazlo questioned, while setting his phone aside and taking off his jacket
“She keeps taunting me for hurting my mates. I guess when Thiago and Zander were in an altercation, she heard Zander mention something. Now she is using that against me.” I let out a sigh of exhaustion.
“So, what is the issue? She is like an ant to you. Do your magic and turn her into a frog,” Maynard commented, walking out of the bathroom after taking a shower. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He had been very chill with me and I was still not in that zone yet.
“I will see what I can do with her,” Lazlo reassured me. He will take care of her.
“No! I can’t do that myself. I am only sparing her for Oswin,” I said as I sat down on the bed to rest a little.
Zander and Christina barged inside with weird looks on their faces. It seemed like they had an argument before coming to the room.
“Don‘t fucking do that,” Zander yelled at her when she slapped his phone off the table as soon as he attached it to the charging cord.
“I told you to stop talking to that girl. I don‘t like her,” she yelled, expressing her exhaustion to him.
“I was just helping her, okay?” Zander retorted, rolling his eyes at Christina. I had absolutely no idea what had been going on between the two, but ever since Thiago beat him up in the woods, he hadn‘t tried to do anything with me.
“Christina!” Maynard yelled at her, shaking his head to stop her from controlling her brother. I have seen Maynard act very strange whenever she tries to stop Zander from flirting with someone. It was odd to me too. Why did she care who her brother talked to?
“Do you even know who he is flirting with?” Christina asked Maynard when she didn‘t approve of the look he gave her.
“That girl, Willow,” she finished. Lazlo and I shared a glance, and then a smile covered our lips.
“Hey! I am not flirting with her, I was only helping her,” Zander acted a bit aggressively. He even gave me a glance when his sister exposed him.
“I don‘t want her around you. You know what kind of girl she is, right? She had been sleeping with other‘s mates. Don‘t you see she has a kink for taken mates? She ruined two relationships, don‘t fotget that,” she was shouting when I cleared my throat to slide in a comment.
“It is between me and my brother,” she hissed, turning to look at her brother. I was about to pass another comment when a guard informed us that Mr. Tripper wanted to see us.
We were all sitting in the front row because of the protocol the Alphas were bound to receive. Their lunas were also sitting with them. Zander was somewhere with the others. However, the teachers were sitting behind us.
“It has been brought to my attention that we have seen a rogue spying on our academy in the last few days. It is no surprise that the wild rogues only want to harm us. However, this one in particular has been seen working closely with the rogue king. What it appears to us is that they are planning something. It is highly requested to be careful and avoid any trouble,” Mr. Tripper broke down the deadly news to us. We were all silently watching each other and preparing to leave when we heard some commotion outside the auditorium.
“I didn‘t mean to insult you. I mean it because you are more powerful.” She stepped back while looking upset that I mistook her words.
“No! Seriously, shut up.” I repeated myself, “You cannot act like a bitch to me and then pretend like everything is fine. You have been nothing but a pain in my ass. I want you to fuck off and leave me alone.” I said to her, despite some of the students watching us. She awkwardly looked around and then turned away from me.
