Chapter 89

89-Only Love Can Hurt Like This Jessica’s muscles softened and her eyes sparkled. This is what she wanted. For me to get cornered by her Alpha boyfriend.

“She called me a whore!” Jessica folded her arms across her chest and mentioned me. I watched Lazlo glaring at me this time. Once he stopped right in front of her, I knew they were ready to gang up against me.

“I don’t have time for this nonsense,” i tried to make an escape but the instant I got up from my seat, Jessica pushed me back and I landed in my seat again.

“Hey!” I let out a complaint in anger but that didn’t do anything to the two, “touch me again and,” I didn’t finish because she slammed my books off the table and hunched down more.

Now that Lazlo was standing with her, she was really crossing all her limits and acting tough.

“Where do you think you are going? She can handle herself. Didn’t you hear she has an Alpha for a mate?” I heard Poppy whispering in urgency..

“She is still one of us,” Oswin protested but Poppy didn’t let him come forth and help me.

* Jessica!” | closed my eyes, holding my anger in. If I burst right now, I will explode everyone’s head off and I don’t want that.

All you have to do is to say those three magical words and I will let you go,” she had a huge smirk plastered across her lips when demanding I apologize to her.

Over my dead body.

She had done a lot of messed-up stuff to me and never even got punished for it. She would think I forgot about that night on the road but I didn’t. Saying sorry to her would be a slap across every victim’s face including mine. I wouldn’t ever do that. So I stayed stubborn.

She says those three magical words to me all the time. She doesn’t have to say them to you,” that voice came from behind them. Maynard walked into the room with his eyes narrowed at Jessica and a fake smile covering his lips.

Seeing him was such a comfort that shine blinked through my eyes. He walked all the way to the back and knelt down to pick up my books.

I noticed some of the students secretly recording this whole incident in hopes of the two Alphas combating right here in the middle of the class because of their mates and girlfriends.

Once Maynard had picked up my stuff, he sat down with me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

“So! You want her to say those magical words to you? I never knew you liked girls,” Maynard pulled me closer and that’s when Lazlo turned his face to the side, “I love you,” he whispered out magical words in my ear to calm my agitated nerves down. I was much calmed down now.

“She called me a slut,” Jessica thought she would really be able to convince Maynard that I deserve this treatment.

“Speaking of which,” Maynard scratched his forehead, “what was the name of your previous boyfriend?” he pretended to think. I noticed the changed look on her face when hearing him mention Jim.

* Jim McCoy!” that was Oswin, I bet he couldn’t control himself anymore. I have always seen him helping other omegas without fearing any consequences. I can only imagine Poppy being all upset right now at him.

“Exactly! Jim! Thank you, Oswin,” Maynard turned to him and that’s when I too stole a glance at Poppy.

She looked annoyed while Oswin was standing with his chair and his body hunching down on the desk with his hands on it.

“I heard he is coming back to school in two to three days,” Maynard then continued to steal the world from under Jessica’s feet. She looked flabbergasted, either she hadn’t broken up with him yet or she was just plain scared of him.

“Why would that bother her, they are not together anymore,” Lazlo shrugged his shoulders without thinking too much into it.

“Exactly and I will see you once we are in the room again,” Maynard casually threatened Lazlo, whose jaw met the floor.

“What did I do?” Lazlo mouthed to him but Maynard ignored him.

“Let him come. It is not like I am his anything,” the uncertainty in Jessica’s voice was caught not only by me but by Maynard too. As for Lazlo, he had been giving me strange looks as if I cheated on him hence his actions were justified.

“Good for you. But hey!” Maynard finally changed his tune, “If you don’t want anybody coming after you, stay the fuck away from my mate,” this time, he wasn’t playing anymore.

The teacher had arrived so he hurried up instead of stalling. Jessica watched Lazlo’s face, who didn’t defend her, and walked towards the exit.

“Thank you,” I whispered in Maynard’s ear before he would be escorted out and go back to his basketball practice.

“It’s okay. I am here for you,” he kissed my cheek, making my skin change a color red before getting up and leaving the room.

I felt blessed. The wishful eyes on me also meant one thing, everybody was amazed at how great my mate was. He had only a few minutes’ worth break and he decided to come to check up on me.

Not anybody prior to him had made me feel this special or defended me whenever I got bullied.

Maynard had proven me right for accepting him.

“Get your assignments out,” as the teacher mentioned the assignments, my eyes rolled back in my head. I haven’t done any assignments. I have been busy with Maynard so much that I forgot to do anything else.

“Enya Fosters!” she called my name and the whole class turned to me.

“1- haven’t done it,” I whispered sheepishly. Just when my life is going up, my grades are about to go down “I assume it is because you are enjoying the acceptance. Where I am truly happy for you, I’d suggest you also focus on your studies. We aren’t doing much in the class today so you can take a leave and finish the assignment. I will be expecting it by tomorrow,” obviously, she couldn’t yell at me anymore.

Take a leave?

Why not?

I nodded and grabbed my stuff to run out of the classroom but before exiting, I did one turnabout and bowed down a little to Oswin to express my gratitude towards him for even trying to help me. He had a very pleasant smile but the grumpy look from Poppy would always cover it.

I didn’t go to the library, I needed some rest. I would see the assignment later. I rushed back to the room and upon entrance, I met with a shock of my life.

The room wasn’t empty, there were two people in there whom I didn’t want to see together.

Thiago and my sister Elaine!
