The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 5

When I met up with my friends during lunch, Alice was bursting with excitement. Apparently. Nova had filled her in on the

details.

“I wish I was there. Alice squealed, as we stood in line to get our food.

“You should have seen her, I think I created a baddie!” Nova purrs in excitement.

“Remind me not to cross you girls,” Alice giggled, before taking her orders.

“You are innocently more cruel than us,” Nova smirked as we walked to a table with our tray of food. As we sat, we noticed the glares from the popular table.

Theo was nowhere to be seen but Lyra and her minions were giving me deathly glares, I shrugged and looked away.

“Only if looks could kill,” Nova grinned mischievously. We burst out laughing. But what did these people expect of me? They expected me to salk in silence and die, maybe?

Maybe that is what would have happened if not for my friends, my mother, my sister, and my wolf. Tiara is strong and I am so proud of her.

“So now, all you have to do is get yourself a boyfriend, Nova said as we walked back to the classroom. I sighted the four hybrids walking on the hallway.
