NOLAN
I watched her leave in her car. Ella walked up to me. "I'm so sorry for what she said, Nolan. She doesn't mean any of those words. I'm sure she's drunk"
I smiled. Her words were hurtful and if I wasn't strong enough I would have taken it to heart but I did not. "Ella, you don't need to apologize. I'm used to her words"
Nigel scoffed. "Used to her words?"
I ignored him. "You should go home Ella, it's late". She nodded. "I'm so sorry we ruined your birthday"
She sighed. "I never wanted it anyway'
I smiled. "Sorry to make it up to you"
She nodded. "I will hold you to your words"
I smiled. "Sure"
"I should treat your wound before I leave"
"No thanks, Nigel will do that when we get to the packhouse"
Ella chuckled. "Are you the alpha of the fire pack like Nigel said?" She whispered
I wanted to say no, but Nigel spoke before I could. "Of course he is". He spoke with a hint of pride and I groaned.
I raised my hand. "Ella, you should go home"
"Tell that friend of yours not to cross my friend's path again or..."
"Ella, you shouldn't be listening to Nigel's talk. Go home or do you want to go with you?" I asked
She smiled. "No thanks. I can take care of myself". I nodded. She hugged me. "Good night, Nolan"
"Good night"
"Make sure you take care of yourself, ok?"
I nodded. "Sure"
"Please Nigel. Make sure you help him with his wounds"
Nigel frowned. "I don't deserve a hug and you want me to care for his wound?"
I laughed. "Is that a hint of Jealousy?"
"Whatever" Nigel grumbled
Ella hugged him and I rolled my eyes. "Do it for me, ok?" she said
"Bribe me with a kiss" Nigel answered. I furrowed my brows and he chuckled. "A peck". Ella smiled and pecked him and I groaned. We said goodbyes to each other and she left.
"Can you explain what just happened a few minutes ago?" I asked
Nigel decided to fake ignorance. He placed his hand in his pocket and began to walk away. I chuckled. I know the perfect way to get him. "Just wait until Bella hears about this". He stopped walking. "When she finds out you're kissing another girl"
He turned swiftly. "I didn't give anyone"
"Well, it doesn't seem like that"
"Nolan, you know I did not kiss her. It was just a peck". It was my turn to ignore him and start walling. He ran after me. "Nolan!!". I got to the car and opened it. My face hurt a bit so I whined. "Are you ok?" He asked
I scoffed. "You don't have to act like, you care that much. That won't stop me from telling her"
He frowned. "This is a set up"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever". I entered the car and he turned in the other direction. The door opened and he entered.
"Are you been serious about telling Bella?"
"I mean every word"
"Are you trying to set me up"
I groaned as the pain was becoming unbearable. "Can you start driving?. My face hurts like hell"
He sighed. I thought he was going to say something but instead, he drove out of the gate and into the street.

My face was swollen up by the next morning, so I couldn't go to school. Nigel left for school alone. Bella isn't back yet, leaving me alone. The packhouse was almost empty. Most of them had gone to their place of work or school. I was so bored but going to school or the company with this face wasn't a choice. I decided to take a walk. I walked around the packhouse, went to the garden, and then returned to my room. I hate to be confined to a place but I've got no choice. I sat on my bed, my mind drifting back to what had happened yesterday. Olive calling me weak was something I couldn't stop laughing at. She doesn't know me. She only knows me to be the gentle Nolan whom she had rejected. I smiled. She doesn't know me as the ruthless alpha. The one everyone is afraid of. An idea popped up in my head and I chuckled. It would be a perfect plan to visit the school as the ruthless alpha. I won't have to stay here. It will be great fun. I jumped up from the bed, went into the bathroom to take a shower. I had taken my bath some hours ago but I still felt the need to do it again.
After taking my bath, I got dressed in blue sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I wore my sneakers and walked out of the room. Two guys were by my doorpost. They bowed. "You're heading out, alpha?" One of them asked
I blinked. There is no way I'm telling them the truth. "No, I just want to get some things done in the alpha's office. I should be back before you know it". He nodded. "When Declan comes, tell him I'm asleep and doesn't want to be disturbed". He furrowed his brows and I growled. "Did you understand?"
He bowed. "Yes, alpha"
"Good" I muttered and walked past them and went downstairs. I left the packhouse and followed the hidden part leading outside the pack territory. No one knew about that part except me. There was a car packed there, for my personal use. I put a call to Martin to tell him I am coming and we will be visiting the school for all alphas. I entered the car and drove to the warehouse. When I got there, Martins was waiting for me. He walked closer to the car and bowed.
"Welcome, alpha". I nodded and stepped out of the car. I walked and he trailed behind me. "I heard your mate rejected you". I stopped walking and furrowed my brows. "I'm so sorry". I rolled my eyes and continue walking. We entered the warehouse.
"Have you gotten my wears ready?"
"Yes, boss"
I nodded. "You should go and get ready. We leave with two extra guards"
He bowed. "Ok, boss"

The drive to the school was quiet. I kept thinking about what Olive's reaction will be when she sees me. "Idiot, how will she know you're the one?" My subconscious mind asked. I chuckled. She will see me as the ruthless alpha everyone fears not her rejected mate she considered weak. I had plans to taunt her for disrespecting me. The car stopped, jolting me back to reality. Martins opened the car for me. I brought out my right leg and then my left leg, before coming into full view. My mask was on my face, preventing anyone from recognizing the real me behind the mask. As I walked into the school, I could hear gasped. "The ruthless alpha!!" Someone yelled and everyone began to run away.
We found our way to my class, ignoring the people running about. Most of the students were out of the class. They must have heard of the visit. I walked into the class. Olive was seated in her seat, earpiece plugged to her ears. I looked around. She was the only one in class. I scoffed. Didn't she hear about my arrival or she wants to prove she is stubborn?. I gestured to Martins to come closer. "Bring her here. Don't rough handle her ok?. She is my luna" I whispered
Martins nodded and walked up to her. He tapped the table and she raised her head. She blinked. "What?" She asked
I groaned. She doesn't fear the ruthless alpha. "My boss wants to see you". She turned her eyes in my direction and our eyes locked up. We stared at each other and I could bet her eyes switched. She stood up immediately.
"T-the". She stuttered. She walked closer to me. "Y-you're the ruthless alpha?". I could see fear in her eyes. I wanted to pull off the mask and laugh at her. Who would have believed the all-mighty Olive could be this afraid?.
I gestured to Martins to come closer. "Tell her to kneel"
"On your knees" Martins yelled.
She thought she would say no but she went down on her knees. I smiled. Time to make her pay for rejecting me!!.
