CIARA FATED TO BE THEIRS

The bell ring made me jolt in my chair. The noises soon filled the class and it was time to go home.

Finally, I sighed. I've been trying not to fall asleep, Mr. Barron has been reprimanding me for a long time because I yawned during his lesson.

I can't help it. I'm so tired.

"Look at her. She's always sleepy when she comes to class. What is she doing at home anyway?”

I heard them talking about me. The other passed by while looking at me, with those disgusted eyes.

"Oh, didn't you know? She works at night. I guess she is one of those ‘comfort women’ for Silverhowl soldiers…”

Again… that gossip and bad talk about me.

I could just ignore them, and act like they didn't hurt me when they did.

I'm indeed working until it's late in the night. But I'm working in a wool factory, not as a comfort woman.

I packed my bag and stood up. I didn't need to explain myself. I just want to go and walk straight to my workplace. I need as much money as possible.

"I told you she is a whore. I saw her with some boys the other day. What do you think she did with them?”

I walked past them. Ignored their every word. They didn't hurt me anymore. I told myself as I pretended I didn't hear them.

School is hard for someone like me. But I need it. I tried to survive amidst everyone's rude and bullying behavior.

Don't they care that the boys who came to me yesterday had bad intentions towards me? Luckily the school security was able to stop them. Otherwise, they will do something appropriate to me.

But they didn't care. I'm still guilty. Whatever I do is still wrong.

I walked out of the school gate while looking up at the sky. Soon it will rain. I don't want to get soaked until I get to work.

I decided to run now. Unfortunately, the rain kept pouring on me until I was drenched. If I didn't remember the books that were in my old bag, I would still run and let myself get wet. However, I decided to take shelter behind this empty building that was no longer occupied.

According to the story, one of these houses once belonged to a Silverhowl soldier. He died on the battlefield against a large pack called Nightwalker. He still didn't have a mate or family at that time. So, the house was just abandoned.

I smiled. This house clearly looks very comfortable to live in. It's just that it's not maintained well. I hope to have a comfortable home when I leave this pack.

“Ah… Here you are…”

Dug!

My heart skipped a beat when I heard his voice.

I slowly looked up and it turned out three people were grinning there.

They are the ones who bullied me the other day.

Oh no.

I walked backward. But they approached me quickly.

"Where are you going? Isn't our business not finished yet?" said one of them.

I hugged my bag tightly and looked around. I should have just brought that small knife from home.

"Don't get closer!!” I screamed when they caught both of my hands. I tried to struggle and get free. However, they are werewolves who can transform.

While I don't have mine yet.

"Oh, sweetie. Don't play hard to get now, it's no one in here…” He stroked my face but I avoided it in disgust.

I jerked my hands away, but the two men beside me held me so tightly that it hurt so much. I'm sure there will be bruises on my hands now.

"LET. GO!!” I screamed in his face. They just laughed. The two men holding me, forced me to kneel, while the one in front of me began to untie the belt of his trousers.

"NO! Let me go!” I shook my head but he grabbed my jaw tightly and made me look up at him. My tears flow down to my cheeks. My hands fisted so hard as my will to let myself go.

"I just want to finish what I didn't finish yesterday, dear. Aren't you used to this?”
