Chapter 2
Zenovia
I looked at Luna Celeste in confusion, wondering what she meant by that.
But she only smirked and replied. “In two days, we might have some guests come over. Ensure that everything is sparkling clean and that nothing is out of place or you know the consequences.”
She warned me before setting off to jog. I let out a sigh of relief when she left and I took deep breaths to calm my heart.
I had dodged the bullet by not letting her think of cutting off my college fees. As long as I was allowed that, I was okay to work and clean the packhouse for eternity.
Now that she was gone, I decided to head back to my room and quickly change and run to my school before Sid or his gang of friends found me to bully.
Thus, I quickly showered in the ice-cold water dribbling from the shower and changed into my clean jeans and a loose T-shirt. I only had one hoodie so I wore it anyways.
Picking up my backpack, I stepped out of the territory before anyone else spotted me. That was the perk of being an early
bird.
I did not mind the walk to the school as it allowed me to clear my head. The narrow path was filled with a lot of trees and I had gotten into the habit of admiring the beauty of nature as I went to school.
I reached the school gate and found a slew of cars parked outside.

There were also a lot of men, all wearing black and having huge and massive body frames. They stood in attention outside the gates as they looked around, alert for the slightest noise.
I wondered what was going on. Our school was in the most isolated place and we never had any bigshots pay us a visit.
So, it attracted quite a bit of attention from all the students and even staff, all of whom were clamoring to get a good look at something.
I heard somebody yelling angrily and amidst the crowd I saw my friend, Cole, rising in the air. A big muscular hand was gripping him tightly by the neck and Cole was flailing his hands and legs in the air wildly, trying to get out of the vice-like grip.
My eyes went wide as I ran towards the crowd and tried pushing through the onlookers. Cole was one of my good friends. and I did not want to see him hurt.
When I managed to get in the front I saw a huge man holding him by the throat. The man was literally made of nothing but. muscles and had a stone-cold look on his face.
“If you dare raise your voice again in front of the king I will kill you.”
I ran up to the man and yelled at him, “Leave Cole alone!!”
He ignored me as Cole tried to speak, “II was not talking to the king, beta Matt.”
But that did not satisfy Matt who squeezed Cole’s neck harder. I could see his veins popping out and I panicked.
So I simply took my backpack and swung it blindly, connecting it with Matt’s abdomen.
“Leave him!”
Matt obviously did not budge but he was surprised by my act. I saw him turn to look back and my gaze followed his eyes and noticed that he was looking at the dean’s office.
The windows were closed and the blinds were partially drawn but I saw a pair of eyes looking at the scene through the slit in the blinds. Even from afar, I could see that they were golden, the color of fire.
Those eyes, however, were not looking at Matt but at me. They were fierce and held a predatory gaze which made me involuntarily take a step back.
Some silent communication, maybe through a mind link seemed to pass between Matt and that mysterious guy inside the dean’s office.
He dropped Cole and looked at the crowd with furrowed eyebrows and everybody just ran away, leaving me and Cole on the ground.
Matt and the other men left too as I helped Cole get up.
“Are you okay?”
I asked Cole as he massaged his neck. He ignored my question and I looked around to find his glasses.
They were lying on the ground with his backpack so I picked all his stuff up. When I straightened my back, I saw those golden eyes looking at me again.

I felt an uneasy sensation gnawing at me but ignored it and went back to Cole while handing over his glasses. “Girl, are you insane? You just hit Beta Mateo of the-”
I cut him off.” I don’t care if he was the beta of some s id pack. He was hurting you and nobody messes with
