"Is everyone alright?" Mylo asks worriedly as the door is shut on them.
The three out of the four boys who were touching their toes glanced at each other, annoyed that Mylo was butting in, that he was stopping them from receiving their complete punishment from the Alpha.
Which means they will have to get punished again, even harder.
"Nobody asked you for this, you brought this upon yourself."
"How can you be so stupid?"
"Woah wait, I helped you guys," Mylo said, surprised.
"You should mind your own business," One of the boys nudged Mylo out of his way with his shoulder, leaving the restroom in a hurry.
Mylo does not understand these people, he turn around and squat down to the merely breathing boy, his tone worried, "Are you okay?"
"Don't fucking touch me you filthy piece of shit!"
Mylo is surprised as he takes a step backwards, "I'm only trying to help you, I can take you to the medical center."
"Are you new?" The boy behind Mylo asks gently, "I'm Zeke, you shouldn't bother with him, he is going to heal."
Mylo steps away from the boy even more, surprised by this Zeke guy's statement.
He hasn't seen anyone who can heal themselves, even God couldn't heal himself at the cross even though he had the power to.
Zeke smiles at Mylo's surprised face, skipping to the sink to wash his own face before putting on his glasses.
"You haven't seen a werewolf before?"
"What is that?"
"How could you come to school here without knowing that?"
"This is my first day," Mylo answers quietly.
Zeke's shoulders slumps as he picks up his backpack from the floor, "You are the transfer student from Pentoville?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Mylo walks behind Zeke as they walk out of the restroom.
"Are you really asking me that? Your former campus means nothing. I have never met someone so unlucky as you."
Mylo doesn't give up, he sticks beside him. He already knew he was an unlucky person but this guy pointing it out made him even more unsettled.
"What do you mean?"
"Not only did you wander into floor 3, you challenged one of the Alpha Twins."
"That guy is a twin?"
Zeke abruptly stops in his tracks, "I will advise you not to speak casually about them. And I also advise you to pray, whatever you believe in, pray so hard that you don't cross paths with any of the twins again."
Mylo swallows hard, his eyes wide, "You are not making any sense."
"Trust me, I am."

Ryker rubs the bridge of his nose with his middle left finger as he walks downstairs with his Betas trailing behind him.
He walks like the true king, gathering attention not only for his good looks but for possessing one of the greatest and strongest wolves of their time.
Girls were swooning over him, screaming but he did not spare any of them a glance. His mind was occupied with the thought of the boy he just met. His nose was filled with the scent of fresh peony.
His heart was…
Mate.
That boy was his fated mate.
He is human at the same time he isn't… he doesn't smell like a human.
"Alpha?" Lenn, Ryker's right hand man and best friend, calls out as soon as Ryker takes a seat inside the lectures hall.
"Why didn't you allow me to punish that boy? What if he is a spy from the White Cloaks Pack? He looks like trouble," Lenn thought, "He is pretending to be innocent and pure, his eyes are evil."
"Hazel sharp eyes," Ryker hears himself say and Lenn pauses to look closely at him.
"I am going to kill him if I see him again, Alpha. What if he was sent by Alpha Royce to spy on us?"
Ryker stays silent, thinking.
"How could he talk to you that way and you let him? Floor 3 and the whole building belongs to you and he trespassed without any care. It is as if he knew you were going to be there to meet with the Beta of the White Cloak Pack and he showed up, putting up a show."
"Don't bother with him, Lenn," Ryker answers in a bored tone, his words final.
Lenn wants to continue agreeing, he wants to make the Alpha see reasons why that impure breed should be punished for his actions but he knows better than anyone else to anger the Alpha by disobeying him.
He takes his own seat, clenching his fist.
Ryker might seem unbothered, his expression unreadable but his heart rate has been spiking up at the slightest thought of that boy, his mate.
He does not understand how someone like that boy could be his mate. But he knows better than to question the ways of fate, so he is just going to keep him at arms length and watch him closely.
Ryker wakes up from his sleep at the end of his lectures and head over to the school private car garage with Lenn.
While he was passing there he suddenly stopped in his tracks as the scent of fresh peony hits his nostrils again. He looked around slowly and noticed Mylo getting into a black cheap sedan car.
He watches the back of the car driving out of the school premises with a tight expression. He is totally so infested with the thought of the boy that he does not notice his twin brother, Royce walking up to him
"You have a bad taste in cars," Royce looks in the direction of where Ryker was looking, getting a glimpse of the black sedan car before it disappears in the driveway, "How could you be interested in such a cheap model? I can point you to a better one."
Ryker doesn't spare him a glance. He dearly hates to see a reflection of himself at any time, any day.
He climbs over his bike, putting on his fingerless gloves and helmet.
Royce takes a stands in front of the bike, his hands in his pockets, "You should show some respect to your older brother, Ryker."
"Respect? Older brother?" Ryker scoffed, he could not believe his ears as always, "By the way, you are only six seconds older than me, does that still count as being older?"
"It does, under any laws," Royce leans forward, his tone taunting, "You are a kid to me and you should act like one."
"What do you want, Royce? Go straight to why you are in my face!"
"Father wants to see us tonight at the Waning Villa. He wants you to be there on time, he has an announcement to make."
Ryker turns on his engine of his bike, "Tell Father that I can't make it, I'm busy."
"Who do you think you are? Stop causing father so much trouble and act nice."
"Get out of my way."
"What if I don't?"
Ryker rotates the handle of his bike, steaming the engine, getting it ready to bolt at a push of the gear. He knows its speed and how fast it can run down anyone… but, he also knows Royce and his wolf are even faster.
"Is that the Alpha twins?"
"Are they fighting?" Two girls who were passing by whispered, covering their hands over their mouths.
"Out of my way," Ryker ignores the onlookers, glaring at Royce.
Lenn steps forward to give Alpha Royce an answer, knowing this would not end any time soon, "The Alpha will try his best to attend the meeting, Alpha," Lenn bows his head at Royce, trying to cut the tension between them.
Very much aware that they could start a serious fight at any time.
Royce smiles mockingly, his eyes sharp on Ryker, "At least listen to your beta, he has a little bit of senses."
"Repeat that, Royce."
"Or else what?"
Ryker is about to get off his bike when Lenn stops him, pressing him down.
"Alpha, please. This is an order from the Alpha King, your father, you can't fight your brother right now. He is only delivering a message."
Ryker pushes Lenn away from himself as he steps on his bike and drives out in a full speed.
Royce jumps out of the way before he could get hit, a light chuckle escaping his throat.
He points a remote to his car, pressing on it as he walks towards it. He takes out his phone from his pocket with the other hand as he places a call to his beta.
