Chapter 7
- Hutton's POV
- The school bell rang for break time, making me sigh in relief. Finally,
- I threw another glance at Scarlett, my girlfriend, but she wasn't looking at me and had never looked at me since she came to school. I shifted my gaze to Xander, feeling my anger soar.
- He was sitting some distance away from others. His desk was large enough to contain two more people, but no one would dare sit beside him or come close to him.
- My girlfriend had been the person sitting beside me, but now she had already changed to her seat after I failed her. She must have hated me for doing nothing, even after seeing how Xander molested her.
- The students began to troupe out while I rested my gaze on her, bracing myself to move over and talk to her. I felt ashamed, but I still loved her deeply.
- Almost half of the class was out, but Xander was sitting on the spot without moving his body. His face was grim and scary as always.
- My mother is dead and my girlfriend leaving me would break me more. I needed someone to be with.
- I took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in my throat before standing up. My body was just so heavy this time. My heart was beating heavily inside my chest. Different voices were urging me to go, while another was yelling at me to sit back.
- I stepped out of my chair and took a pace towards her seat, where she sat with her face buried in her palm. I could guess she was sobbing.
- She heard my footstep and looked up. Our eyes met, and she sniffed her tears.
- We were looking at each other as I walked towards her slowly. I was happy; she seemed not to hate me much again. She must still love me.
- I was already close to her when he stood up and started coming towards her.
- Xander stood up from his chair and began to walk to my girlfriend with his face looking so mean and scary that fear gripped me and I paused my pace. I was too scared to walk again.
- His aura filled the whole classroom, dispersing the whole class away. Everyone found their way far away from him. He was like a god. It was clear no one stood in his way.
- He got closer to my girlfriend and I couldn't move. I couldn't stop him.
- "Hey…" he called her without a single smile.
- "Hope you reported me to your father? Your father is a Beta, and he won't want his daughter to be treated that way, so I hope you told him what I did?" He seethed at her, sitting on her desk.
- "What... is... my crime?" she whimpered.
- "Are you asking me that? Okay, I had no reason, but I was thinking you had a boyfriend who should stand and fight for you!" He scoffed, and my heart skipped a beat. My eyes widened as I got scared.
- She shifted her gaze to me, and I felt like the ground should open and swallow me.
- "H… Hu... Hutton." She stuttered my name, and I felt the great urge to run away, but I should stand strong. I'm not a sissy!
- When Xander turned his gaze to me, I felt a rush of cold chills run through me.
- "Are you her boyfriend?" he asked with a deep frown, leaving me dumbfounded.
- The more I tried to be strong as his cold eyes rested on me, the more my courage eloped slowly.
- I peered into his eyes and the darkness in them sent shivers all over me. I shouldn't be afraid of him when my father is also one of the most powerful and I also got my wolf powers, but then, I knew better than to stand in his way.
- Xander isn't a mere werewolf like every other person. He has three combinations of powers in him. No one would be able to defeat him.
- "I asked you a question, and you remained silent." He growled, raising his brow as he stepped down from the desk, turning fully toward me.
- "What did you ask?" I asked as my head went blank. There was no student close at that moment. Everyone knows how terrible his anger could be.
- "You want me to repeat myself?" He arched his brow, taking a few steps forward towards me.
- I fluttered my eyes and racked my head to remember what he had asked me, but it was gone forever. My brain had lost it,
- "Please, I don't mean to anger you, but I have forgotten what you said!" I stated with my tone being forced to be strong. I was forcing it not to crack as the fear of just his stare was making me hot .
- He smirked, then made a short, croaky laugh.
- "Is she your girlfriend?" He asked, pulling her hair as she cried, and holding his hand to ease the pain.
- I glanced around and saw my whole class and some other students watching from the windows. Their gazes on me made my head pound. Almost everyone knows she is my girlfriend and denying her right here and now would not only break us up but would strike my heart with deep pain.
- I adore her, but I lack the courage to accept that she is my girlfriend, not now. I'm freaking afraid of Xander. I just don't know why he decided to pick me recently.
- "If you keep quiet, then I'll believe she is nothing to you, so you will have to leave the class while I treat her the way I want!" He stated, with his deep and fretting voice. He had no smile on his face...
- "Okay…" That was the only word that could come out of my mouth after cursing him so much in my heart. I even yelled at him with threats, but all that was in my heart and I had no courage to say it out.
