146–Character Assasination

Nora:

After changing, I headed to the ground with so many thoughts and fears. There was this brief

moment where I wondered if I should even attend the combat class. Everything was falling apart for

me.

Once I reached the ground, I saw everyone disperse when I got near them. Soon, I wasn’t even

allowed to stand in the same line as them. I looked ahead and saw that there was no teacher on the

ground. Even Ryker and Brody were not present, which made things worse because the longer they

took to attend the combat class, the more time these students would have to bully me. And I was so

right.

The minute I stood alone where the line used to be, I felt someone’s hand on my back, pushing me

forward. I landed on the ground without having any idea this was going to happen to me. It all

happened abruptly, and since being introduced as the Alpha King’s stepsister, I had forgotten about

the whole bullying thing.

I was getting the best treatment, so I was truly scared to find out what had changed.

“Look at this slut,” it was none other than April who had pushed me down.

“April! What are you doing?” I screamed, tearing up in front of everyone as it was now a showtime

for them.

I knew in that moment that I was given a chance to escape, but I foolishly stayed, and now I was

going to face this mess.

April’s friend, one of the two sisters, stepped forward with some sheets in her hands.

“Look everyone! What I got,” she smirked, waving the papers. “This slut over here is Nora!” she

pointed at me while April stood with her arms folded over her chest.

I looked around and noticed everyone nodding their heads. As I attempted to get up, I was pushed

down again by Lillie, Minnie’s sister.

“Sit down here. You are going to listen to it all. You cannot have fun all the time. Karma has finally

arrived for you,” she muttered under her breath, making others nod in agreement.

“What is going on?” I yelled, feeling surrounded by so many of them. If I could show my wolf, I could

have jumped free, but I didn’t want to add another thing to the mix that made me look like a horrible

person.

“What is going on? Guys, she wants to know what is going on!” April‘ yelled to get everyone’s

attention when they were already watching me with enthusiasm as if it was the greatest show they

had been waiting for.

“How about we bring out our friend who will tell us what is going on?” Minnie attempted to make a

joke, but the minute she stepped away, I saw Natalia come out from behind her. April pulled her

closer and wrapped her arm around her, causing my jaw to drop.

“What?” I gasped. It was already a bad sign. Them joining hands meant only one thing—April was

now on her side, and whatever Natalia said would be heard. But why?

“Nora is not so innocent. She lives with the stepbrothers and seduces them the minute she gets a

chance to do so,” her statement was received with yelps of disgust.

The eyes that landed on me were filled with disdain.

“I watched her kiss Alpha King Ryker.” Hearing it out loud sent shivers. up my spine. I trembled and

no longer tried to get up. Everyone was watching me like they were on a mission to kill the

disgusting witch.

“Is it true? Do you think she is getting fucked by her brothers?” some girl whispered, letting the

others cover their mouths in shock.

“No! It’s not true. I am not doing anything like that,” I lied with a straight face, but deep down inside,

I was shaking because it was now going to get messy.

“And she asked Alpha King Cian to paint her. And he did; he drew a naked painting of her,” April

added, causing Natalia to clench her jaw. I wondered if she thought April would not talk about the

one she had a crush on.

But regardless of what they were thinking and what they planned to do, I was in the middle of harsh

glares and very dirty accusations being thrown my way.

“Which is why she lied about going out on a date with Alpha Brody but then rejected him because

she is probably busy getting her hole drilled by her own brothers,” Lillie commented before

grimacing in disgust.

“What the heck!” one of the girls hit the back of my head angrily.

“Fucking whore! Could you not keep your legs closed at all? You’re going to sleep with everyone

then?” she continued, making me cover my head as she repeatedly struck me.

“Let me go,” I tried to get up and run away, but someone pushed me down again, and I landed on

my butt, tears streaming down my eyes.

“It is a lie,” I murmured under my breath.

“We should really take her to the council and let Lord Atwood know what she has been doing all this

time,” Minnie’s suggestion compelled me to cover my face in my hands and continue to cry.

“Hey! Everyone! What the fuck is going on here?” It was Brody’s voice. He yelled, and everyone

finally stepped away, leaving him to come to my aid. He rushed in between them, kneeling beside

me and making me uncover my face from my hands.

“What the—who the fuck do you think you are, bullying her?” He got up and yelled at everyone, his

eyes stopping at April, but she didn’t look guilty.

“I expected better from you,” he muttered at April, who frowned, looking defensive.

“Hey! Do you even know what is going on here? Do you know why she rejected you?” she blurted

out, adding another person to the list who would hate me now.

Before I could defend myself or Brody could say anything, she added, “She is sleeping with her

stepbrothers. That’s why!”

My body crumbled like a cookie when I saw goosebumps cover Brody’ s skin. They were so visible.

“There is a witness who saw her getting intimate with her

stepbrothers,” April finished, causing a lot of damage to my character.
