Chapter fifty five

“You of course!”. Aliyah fired at me.

“Shut up Aliyah! I don’t need you to point it out”. I fired back at her.

“But seriously, if you fainted because you were being fingered, how will you feel when you finally have a taste of their dick. Surely you will die right?”. Aliyah mocked me. I seriously wonder why my wolf is sometimes like this.

“Aliyah!”. I shouted.

“Are you okay Mam?” Derrick asked, looking at me through the rear mirror. I could not believe I actually shouted it out loud.

“I am fine. No need to worry”. I dismissed him and he looked at me for a second or two before he turned and continued driving. I am very sure he thinks something is wrong with me.

“Aliyah don’t say stuff like this or …”

“Or what?”. Aliyah cut me off.

“Or I will shut you off for a complete week.”. Werewolves have the ability to shut off their wolves from the main world for any period of time they wish. They normally do this when they are in the midst of humans or when they are trying to keep their identity as wolves a secret. Because when your wolf is shut off, you are not any different from a normal human being.

“Shut me off? I want to see you try.” Aliyah challenged me because she knew very well that I could not do that. But one day, I will summon the courage to block her off, even if it’s for just an hour, so that I can shock her and her big mouth.

“You do know that I can hear your thoughts, right? Aliyah inquires in a tune that sounds like she is still mocking me because she has an upper hand over me. Before I could reply to her, I heard the door at my side open. I didn’t even realize that we had arrived.


“Sorry for opening the door unaware; I called your name about five times but I didn’t get a response from you, that is why.” Derrick explained with a concerned look in his eyes. At this point, I am very sure that he thinks I am sick of something.

"Sorry, my attention was not heard. Thank you for the door.” I thanked him as I alighted from the car.

“No problem. Are you sure you are fine? If you are not, I can take you back home.” Derrick explained, still looking very concerned.


“Thank you Derrick but there is no need for that. I am seriously fine.” I answered him.

“Okay Mam, see you in the afternoon.” Derrick murmured even though he eloped as if he were not convinced with my responses.

I head to the school’s gate and present my ID card for a check-in. Yesterday I was given an ID card, sportswear, and other necessary stuff I needed as a teacher. After I was checked in, I entered the school to see some teachers making their way to their various classes. The rules of the pack is that the teachers must be in school at least thirty minutes before the students start arriving.

I head to the nursery section and sign in in the staff attendance booklet.


Since there is nothing to do, I decided to take a stroll inside the school’s garden. As I walked by the garden, I saw Maria, the receptionist from yesterday, sitting and gisting with some members of the staff. She waved to me and begged me to join them. After we introduced ourselves, they insisted that I join in their conversations.

“Look at you, Sophia. Where are the Blazers and the heels?”. Maria teases me.

“Wait! She is the new teacher who wore that outfit yesterday and made us feel that she is a supervisor, right?.” One of the ladies asked.

“That is her!”. Maria answered.

“I knew I knew the face from somewhere. It's nice to see you dress like the rest of us. By the way, nice shoes.” She complimented us. Carried on with the discussion.


After a while, one of them brought up the topic of the Alphas mysterious mate. It turns out the people of the pack knew about yesterday’s date; they also knew that their Alphas have found their mate but they just don’t know who the girl is.

Some of the ladies were even lamenting that their crushes were finally taken. Some even went on mocking the mate, while others envied her and called her a lucky person.

I tried my best to act as normal as possible. I don’t want to do everything to prove that I am the mate.

“Sophia, you have not shared your own view about the Alpha's mate; what do you think of her?” One of the ladies asked me.

“E.g., I can’t necessarily say; I mean, none of us know her, so it’s not right to talk about her like we wish. But I can say that as long as the alphas are happy with her, I think we should be okay with her.” I stated.

“That’s right. You make a very good point.”

“What about the Alphas? Do you find them attractive?”. Another lady asked me. And just as I was about to answer her, the bell rang, signifying that it was time for the teachers to be in their various classes.

I sighed a breath of relief. This is exactly what I call save by the bell.
