146–Character Assasination
Nora:
After changing, I headed to the ground with so many thoughts and fears. There was this brief moment where I wondered if I should even attend the combat class. Everything was falling apart for me.
Once I reached the ground, I saw everyone disperse when I got near them. Soon, I wasn’t even allowed to stand in the same line as them. I looked ahead and saw that there was no teacher on the ground. Even Ryker and Brody were not present, which made things worse because the longer they took to attend the combat class, the more time these students would have to bully me. And I was so right.
The minute I stood alone where the line used to be, I felt someone’s hand on my back, pushing me forward. I landed on the ground without having any idea this was going to happen to me. It all happened abruptly, and since being introduced as the Alpha King’s stepsister, I had forgotten about the whole bullying thing.
I was getting the best treatment, so I was truly scared to find out what had changed.
“Look at this slut,” it was none other than April who had pushed me down.
“April! What are you doing?” I screamed, tearing up in front of everyone as it was now a showtime for them.
I knew in that moment that I was given a chance to escape, but I foolishly stayed, and now I was going to face this mess.

April’s friend, one of the two sisters, stepped forward with some sheets in her hands.
“Look everyone! What I got,” she smirked, waving the papers. “This slut over here is Nora!” she pointed at me while April stood with her arms folded over her chest.
I looked around and noticed everyone nodding their heads. As I attempted to get up, I was pushed down again by Lillie, Minnie’s sister.
“Sit down here. You are going to listen to it all. You cannot have fun all the time. Karma has finally arrived for you,” she muttered under her breath, making others nod in agreement.
“What is going on?” I yelled, feeling surrounded by so many of them. If I could show my wolf, I could have jumped free, but I didn’t want to add another thing to the mix that made me look like a horrible person.
“What is going on? Guys, she wants to know what is going on!” April‘ yelled to get everyone’s attention when they were already watching me with enthusiasm as if it was the greatest show they had been waiting for.
“How about we bring out our friend who will tell us what is going on?” Minnie attempted to make a joke, but the minute she stepped away, I saw Natalia come out from behind her. April pulled her closer and wrapped her arm around her, causing my jaw to drop.
“What?” I gasped. It was already a bad sign. Them joining hands meant only one thing—April was now on her side, and whatever Natalia said would be heard. But why?
“Nora is not so innocent. She lives with the stepbrothers and seduces them the minute she gets a chance to do so,” her statement was received with yelps of disgust.

The eyes that landed on me were filled with disdain.
“I watched her kiss Alpha King Ryker.” Hearing it out loud sent shivers. up my spine. I trembled and no longer tried to get up. Everyone was watching me like they were on a mission to kill the disgusting witch.
“Is it true? Do you think she is getting fucked by her brothers?” some girl whispered, letting the others cover their mouths in shock.
“No! It’s not true. I am not doing anything like that,” I lied with a straight face, but deep down inside, I was shaking because it was now going to get messy.
“And she asked Alpha King Cian to paint her. And he did; he drew a naked painting of her,” April added, causing Natalia to clench her jaw. I wondered if she thought April would not talk about the one she had a crush on.
But regardless of what they were thinking and what they planned to do, I was in the middle of harsh glares and very dirty accusations being thrown my way.
“Which is why she lied about going out on a date with Alpha Brody but then rejected him because she is probably busy getting her hole drilled by her own brothers,” Lillie commented before grimacing in disgust.
“What the heck!” one of the girls hit the back of my head angrily.
“Fucking whore! Could you not keep your legs closed at all? You’re going to sleep with everyone then?” she continued, making me cover my head as she repeatedly struck me.
“Let me go,” I tried to get up and run away, but someone pushed me down again, and I landed on my butt, tears streaming down my eyes.

“It is a lie,” I murmured under my breath.
“We should really take her to the council and let Lord Atwood know what she has been doing all this time,” Minnie’s suggestion compelled me to cover my face in my hands and continue to cry.
“Hey! Everyone! What the fuck is going on here?” It was Brody’s voice. He yelled, and everyone finally stepped away, leaving him to come to my aid. He rushed in between them, kneeling beside me and making me uncover my face from my hands.
“What the—who the fuck do you think you are, bullying her?” He got up and yelled at everyone, his eyes stopping at April, but she didn’t look guilty.
“I expected better from you,” he muttered at April, who frowned, looking defensive.
“Hey! Do you even know what is going on here? Do you know why she rejected you?” she blurted out, adding another person to the list who would hate me now.
Before I could defend myself or Brody could say anything, she added, “She is sleeping with her stepbrothers. That’s why!”
My body crumbled like a cookie when I saw goosebumps cover Brody’ s skin. They were so visible.
“There is a witness who saw her getting intimate with her
stepbrothers,” April finished, causing a lot of damage to my character.
