Chapter 5

RYN

As I stormed towards Bessie, I curled my fingers into lists, feeling that familiar anger brew within me like hot water. I noticed the closer I got, the sharper Bessie's smile became and I could see her muscles tighten as her friends moved into strategic positions: Was this not a trap? 1 thought to myself Still, I couldn't just walk away from Sadie, not when she was crying helplessly under Bessie's merciless grip making my heart ache for her. I came to a stop just a feet from the spoiled brat, so close I could perceive her s**d cherry blossom perfume.

Bessie glanced at her friends before bursting into laughter. "Wow. Miss Elite Warrior is getting super ****** these days. First it was hospitalizing my boyfriend, and now it's threatening me. Her mocking smile faded. "Have you forgotten that engaging in fights is against school policy? And if And if you lay a hand on me, I'll have my dad kick your poor, dusty **** out of this school and inform the Princes of your behaviour!" Wasn't t that what she wanted?

I took another deep breath, repressing my wolf. "I don't want to fight, okay? Just let her go."

Bessie's eyes went vacant like she was thinking about what I said "You know what? I'll let her go, on one condition." I her warily. "What condition?"

Reyes!

Bessie's lips widened. "I heard my boyfriend's wish was for you to kiss his shoes and beg before you put him in a d***n coma: Well, as his loyal girlfriend," she flicked one side of her blonde hair back, "I want to finish what he started." "Excuse me? I blinked.

on like she didn't hear me. "Say please and kiss these shoes and I'll let her go." My heart began to race again, this time in fear as her friends brought out their phones to record with glee. More schoolmates had left their seats to form a crowd around us and even some had begun to chant, 'Kiss her shoes!" to pressure me. I glanced at Sadie and found her shaking her ead at me, silently begging me not to do it for her. My hand found the pendant around my neck and fiddled with it. I have never begged for anything in my life. Could I still possibly walk away now? Was my dignity and my future more important than saving Sadie? An unpleasant shiver ran up my spine. Doing this would be the most humiliating thing I have ever done and as I stared into one

Bessie's eyes widened more in shock as she touched her mouth and saw the blood on her hand. "You slapped me?!" She bellowed, and and tried to hit me with her other hand but I held that too and gave her a head butt instead. Another booooh erupted from the crowd as I heard a soft crack and when I pulled back, I found Bessie's nose gushing blood. "That's for hurting Sadie." ." I said, and this is for being such a pain in my a***!" I stepped back and kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying through the air before landing on her butt. Bessie rolled over and clutched her stomach, her face etched in pain. I turned to her friends who were still filming and dared them with my eyes to come forward. Instead, they shifted back and ran to help Bessie up.
