Freya.

Oops, I'm sorry. Britney, who is known for her disrespectful behavior, sneered at me after purposely bumping into me while I was retrieving my school supplies from my locker. After I had managed to control my anger, I looked at her and felt grateful that my wolf and I had agreed not to lose our cool.

I glanced downward and attempted to pass her, but she refused to let me do so. Instead, she intentionally tripped me, causing me to fall. To make matters worse, she joined the others in laughing at my misfortune.

Stay calm, Frey. As my wolf tried to calm me, she reminded me. Before getting up, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I am unsure why Pi, my wolf, appeared to be calmer than I was. Typically, our wolves were prone to losing their composure easily and behaving irrationally. It was quite peculiar that my wolf, on the other hand, was very level-headed, which is opposite to my nature.

"Oh, I apologize once again," Britney said, chuckling alongside her companions. I decided to walk away from them because I knew they would continue as long as they saw me.

As I turned the corner to head to my next class, I unintentionally collided with a solid chest. Instantly, I felt a wave of regret wash over me as I glanced up to see the person it belonged to. Joric, the next Alpha, or rather, the future Alpha, was smirking at me.

He is another bully, similar to Britney, who has a high opinion of himself simply because he is the next alpha. In terms of strength, he is significantly weaker than his future beta and gamma counterparts. The sole qualification that made him eligible to become an alpha was his status as the current alpha's son.

He exclaimed animatedly, "How did I get so lucky to finally find you?" He was accompanied by his minions as well, and I was relieved that his future beta and gamma were not close to him. Both of them were responsible. That could possibly explain why they were not friends in any way.

With my head down, I informed him, "I am heading to my next class." He enjoys it when I or any member of the pack does that. He derives a sense of superiority from this, which in turn boosts his ego.

"You don't have to do that. I can speak to your teacher and ask them to pass you. That is, if you give me a bl** job," he said, glancing at his friends, who joined in with laughter. I would prefer to fail rather than subject him to that. However, I refrained from expressing that to him and opted for a different response.

"I expressed my reluctance to argue with Britney as she had already caused me considerable trouble," I informed him. Although they were not friends, Britney was still very interested in him and desired to be with him.

"You're here," Clay said, cutting off Joric before he could respond. "I have been searching for you. Shall we go?" he said, gently taking my hand. Before we turn our backs on them, we both glance at the future alpha and notice him glaring at Clay. Joric was unable to take any action against my friend because he was aware that he would not be able to defeat him.

As we walked away, a sigh of relief escaped me, grateful that Clay had arrived just in the nick of time. Clay chuckled and remarked, "You seem to have been fortunate in encountering both the jerk and the wh***."

Yes, I am already aware of that. "I'm not sure if it was my scent that attracted them to wherever I was," I responded.

He added, "I also want to believe that they are the only ones who can detect your scent, which was missing from our noses," and we both shared a laugh.
