Chapter 013
For a moment, silence fell across the hall, as everyone was left in shock. Then, an outburst of murmurs and laughter erupted. It was then that I realized that some people were recording the entire scene.
“Did Asher just dump his golden girl?”
“This is liquid gold.”
Julia's lips thinned, and her fingers trembled as she struggled to maintain her composure while feeling the heat of everyone’s eyes on her. It would be the first time she had been ridiculed publicly, and with the way her eyes welled up with tears, she didn’t seem like she could handle the hate.
"Get up!” Asher growled, ignoring the rising tension around us. He dragged me up with my shirt and started to pull me away from the crowd. “I’ll show you the consequences of your stupid little actions.”
"Please," I muttered, barely above a whisper. I couldn’t let him lead me away from the crowd of students. The last time that happened, I was almost raped. Where the hell were the triplets? “Asher, please don’t do this. Please.”
"Apology denied, stupid whore,'' he said, his voice dripping with disdain. ''You think I care about your pathetic feelings? You can obviously whore your way around three boys,'' He halted and pulled me closer, his breath hot against my ear. ''You're not going anywhere until you suck my dick real good."
My eyes widened, and bile rose in my throat. He smiled and grabbed my jaw, examining me as if he wanted to know whether his dick could fit in my mouth. “Why are you surprised? Isn’t that what Omegas do? Serve and please us?”
My throat tightened, and I could feel the sobs rising, threatening to break free. As the first tear escaped, it traced a hot path down my cheek. My lips trembled uncontrollably, and I bit down hard to stifle the sobs, but it was no use. “Why are you doing this to me?” Was all I managed to ask. How could someone who I’d done nothing to hate me such?
"You should be grateful, really. I'm offering you a chance to prove yourself even though you look useless.'' He smirked. “You should know it’s no easy feat to be fucked by the future Alpha of your pack. Many girls want to be in your position. So don’t fucking waste your opportunity.”
Before I could muster a word, he started to pull me again. We were almost away from the watching eyes of students, and then I’d be truly helpless.
With another step, a voice boomed across the hallway. It was a very familiar voice, and I almost choked with joy. Finally!
"Let her go!” I turned to see a livid-looking Jace glaring at us. When Asher tightened his grip on me, his jaw twitched. "I said, take your hands off her, Asher."
“Make me,” Asher growled. “You have no claim over her. She’s mine, so I suggest you back off. Or run back to your brothers.”
“I think it’s funny you’ve decided to claim the very girl you used to ridicule,” Jace said, advancing toward us. “And I don’t need my brothers to rip off your arm and beat you with it.”
“You’re a cocky bastard,” Asher growled.
“Says the grown dude who thinks he runs a school.” Jace chuckled coldly, but I could tell he did not find anything funny. “I’ll give you one more chance to let her go before things escalate.”
“Turn back and leave!” Asher ground out.
“I can’t.” Jace was now standing right before us, but his eyes were boring into Asher’s. “Let her go, Dawson.”
I felt Asher’s hand loosening around me, and I exhaled with relief. But I guess I rejoiced too soon.
In a second, I heard the sickening sound of bones crunching, and I screamed, running in the opposite direction of the sound.
Asher was the first to strike.
Jace’s head snapped back; his eyes widened in shock as blood spilt from the corners of his lip. He stumbled backwards but caught himself. ''You're going to regret that,'' he snarled, his eyes blazing with fury as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
Asher stood tall, his hands balled in a fist, ready to throw the next punch.
Jace dashed toward him, and with several punches, he and Asher crumbled to the ground, hitting each other with all their strength.
“Asher!!”
“Jace!!”
The hallway was filled with chants and screams. Those recordings stepped closer to capture the fight, but I was horrified. Everything was happening because of me.
Unlike me, who stood frozen in a corner, Julia rushed to the fighting pair, her hands raised in a futile attempt to stop them. ''Asher, Jace, stop!'' she cried. But they didn't listen. They were too caught up in their own anger and hatred to hear her pleas. And as I watched, a chill ran down my spine. This was not going to end well.
I rushed back to stop Jace, my heart racing with fear. He was like a wild animal, letting his anger take the best of him as he hammered Asher relentlessly.
But just as I reached out to grab him, Mr. Thompson, the principal, and two other professors burst into the hallway, their voices thundering through the chaos. ''STOP! STOP THIS FIGHT RIGHT NOW!''
The students froze, their cameras still rolling, as one of the professors peeled Jace off from Asher’s battered body.
Mr. Thompson pointed at us. “Jace, Asher, Julia, Hannah, my office. Now!"
