Chapter 228

The school halls had never been kind to Elyra, but now they felt downright hostile. After Dain's fight with Jason, rumors spread like wildfire. Whispers followed Elyra wherever she went, and Jason's group had made her their primary target. The next morning, she found her locker defaced with the word "Freaks" spray-painted in jagged red letters. Her heart sank as she traced the ugly slur with trembling fingers. Around her, students snickered, and Elyra felt her cheeks burn with shame. Dain stormed over, his fiery eyes narrowing as he saw the graffiti. "Who did this?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

Elyra shook her head, biting her lip. "It doesn't matter."
