I could sense the tension among everyone as soon as the son of the devil walked into the hall with his head raised high. I couldn't hate him more for the fact he thinks no one can match up to him.

My eyes widened in awe the moment I saw Asher walking slowly behind the beast with his body covered in blood, so was Tala and some of their closest friends. I didn't like the way he was covered in blood and my wolf and I wanted to do something but there was literally nothing we could do.

Ariel held my hand as she gave it a light squeeze. I assumed she must have sensed the tension in me but the look on her face clearly told me to drop whatever was in my mind.

I know she wasn't okay with the fact that I still loved Asher after everything he had done to be but I still believe he has a reason for doing it since he has a really manipulative personality.

"There was a simple rule that wasn't meant to be broken!" Alaric's voice roared across the hall and I could swear the hall became so silent that the ticking clock turned out to be really loud.

"No one was meant to leave the school premises yet they did!" His cold voice sent shivers down my spine. I had also broken the school rule by running out of the school building.

I felt my legs trembling as I held Ariel's hand tighter, all that was in my mind was that he could call me up there any moment from now and brutally break my bones.

My heart skipped a beat the moment his eyes landed on me, I was scared to the point of being unable to shift my gaze away from his burning eyes but in some seconds he removed his eyes from my face.

I didn't realize when I released the heavy breath I had been holding and also didn't know that Ariel had been staring at me all through but didn't say a word to me.

He majestically tucked his hands into his trousers as he took some steps towards Asher. "Not only did they leave the school premises but also tried to run away" he scoffed.

"I would have taken it easier on you all since you're my slaves but you all seem to be ungrateful to the fact that I haven't killed any of you yet," he ran his hands through his long hair that I felt like yanking off.

He returned to his original position and scanned through the room like he was searching for someone to kill, "I'm pronouncing a total lockdown, henceforth every young wolf under the age of 30 will live in the mighty pack house irrespective of your gender. Spread these words" he concluded and walked out of the hall, probably on his way to his office or as I would put it; the doom room.

As soon as he left, the hall became a noisy mess as everyone began to panic but no one dared to say a word against his new rules.

I felt a hand yanking mine and turned to see Ariel giving me a questioning look before she pulled me away from the crowd.

She led me into an empty classroom and made me sit, "what's up with you?" She asked with her brows furrowed.

"It's nothing serious-" I tried to say but she cut me off almost immediately with her index finger on my lips.

"Eww!" I protested and slapped her hands off while she rolled her eyes.

"You better tell me what's going on" she demanded and I heaved a heavy sigh.

"It's...it's just that I also left the school premises today and wasn't punished by him" I rushed my words.

"What the fuck do you mean you left the school premises?!" She yelled with her eyes widened in shock but before I could answer her the school's address system turned on.

"Lenora Hunter, my office!" The familiar deep voice growled into the speakers and my heart couldn't stop racing.

"We're so dead!" My wolf cried and once she breaks down there's no way I can keep myself strong.

"I'll follow you" Ariel placed her hands on mine.

"Alone!" The voice growled again like he was listening to our conversations and it freaked me out.

"I'll be fine right?" I asked her as I took in deep breaths in order to calm myself down but it wasn't working either.

"I don't know but let's be optimistic right?" She said, way to go being optimistic, dumbass.

I left the class room as I slowly walked to the doom room, if I was at least a strong wolf then I might have come up with a defence method but hell even Asher the strongest wolf couldn't match him.

I finally reached the closed doors of his office but my hands wouldn't cooperate to open it as they were shaking and sweating profusely.

I eventually took a deep breath and opened the door to meet his eyes staring straight at me. Immediately I opened the door, it was creepy because he must have been staring at the door while waiting for me before I opened it.

"What took you so long?" He asked and I felt my wolf whimpering.

"I..I am sorry sir!" I bowed my head and apologized to him. His face was never leaving mine as he said nothing in return. I couldn't contain the fear anymore as I found myself on my knees crying profusely.

"Please don't punish me, I'm sorry and I promise it won't happen anymore" I pleaded for forgiveness but he still wasn't saying anything. My mind had drawn a conclusion on him punishing me but that suicidal part of me wished he would just kill me and perhaps I wouldn't have to stand in front of anyone ever.

I felt a big rough hand on my chin as I immediately opened my eyes to see him on one kneel, his face was in the same place with mine but his brows were cringed as his eyes looked serious like they were about to unravel all of the mischievous things I've done since I was little.

"Why are you so scared?" His voice was cool this time and there was a hint of emotion in it or maybe he was just being sarcastic.

"Answer me!" He demanded in a calm voice but my body still flinched. I now understand why everyone was scared of him but then I still really hate him.

"You appear scary" I honestly answered and his hands left my chin as he stood straight up with his intimidating height. I silently prayed I hadn't said the wrong thing.

"Stand up!" He ordered again, I hated the way he ordered me around but I couldn't do anything but obey.

I stood up but with my head still bowed, I was close to him and felt really small beside him, he looked like it wouldn't even take him a second to rip my head off.

"Look at me!" He ordered again and I immediately raised my head to look at him even though my heart was still beating really fast.

"What about me appears scary?" He asked and I took the time to study his face. I hadn't really put down in my mind why he appears scary but his aura alone was worth trembling for.

"Your hair" I answered since I couldn't think of anything else to say. His hair was beautiful but I found it annoying with the way it bounces whenever he walks.

"Okay, you may leave!" He replied and I heaved a sigh of relief as I immediately rushed out of the doom room. That was a really weird conversation, not like any of our conversations made any sense.

I returned to the class but couldn't find Ariel there. I knew where she must have been so I walked directly to the empty class while a bunch of students kept staring at me like I was a ghost. They were probably surprised that the son of the devil called me to his office and I was still alive.

"Ariel!" I exclaimed as I barged into the class but immediately regretted after seeing her naked with her mate.
