Chapter 37: Chapter 37
My eyes became teary, especially when Aurora gave me a mischievous smile. My eyes flashed to the clock, and I hissed angrily.
In a few minutes, I would be leaving with Nana to go to school, not as a student but as a slave. After years of wishing to attend school like my peers, I would finally be going, but would only be bullied and scorned by everyone.
I was dressed in a brown outdated sleeveless gown that was tattered at some parts of the edge and also had a patch at the back. The length was slightly above my knees, giving a clear view of my straight legs smeared with stripes of whip.
"Slave, let's go!" Nana's voice came in through mind link, and I wasted no second in running out of the room just so I would avoid being beaten. She carries that whip around, and I dread a strike.
I caught up with her at the garage, and she gave me a scornful laugh on seeing how bad I looked.
"I just hope you don't come back naked because that gown seems to be ripping thread every second," she mocked, and I felt ashamed, especially as I saw her sophisticated and perfect school gown was on her body.
I drooled over her dazzling white well-ironed shirt tucked into her brown flay skirt and her legs adorned with a pair of long white socks and white canvas. Her permed blonde hair was allowed to flow down her back exquisitely, and she really primped her face in a very pretty way so that she looked exactly like a princess.
The golden necklace and earrings she was wearing did well in adorning her, and when I looked down at my ripped dress and old slippers, I could only smile weakly at my miserable life.
"Because of me, you are going to enter a nice car for the first time. Am I not good?" She snickered and yanked my head in an embarrassing way that the guards around us couldn't hold back their laughter.
The door was opened for me because, according to her, my hands were too dirty. Even the car seat where I was to sit was covered with a sheet to prevent my body from touching any part of the car.
I was sitting in the back seat, and Nana was beside me, maintaining her cold look as the driver kicked on the engine. My gaze returned to her body, and all I could do was gulp and swallow hard in shame at how she despicably looked like a princess and was so gorgeous, especially how neat and nice she smelled.
My heart panged as I looked back at myself. No one will ever believe I was the true alpha daughter because I appeared lower than the omegas.
I sniffed, trying not to shed tears, and it drew Nana's attention as she darted her cold eyes at me.
"What was that sniff for?" She growled, breathing heavily.
"Nothing." I responded in a muffled voice, hating how intimidating her voice was to me. I hated her presence beside me, and it seemed she also felt the same way.
"I badly wish I was sitting beside your dead body." She snorted, hissing irritatingly as her eyes scanned my face.
"Why can't you kill yourself? How hard is that? Do you prefer staying alive and facing all these torments and suffering? So end your life; even Jaden, whom you may have hoped for, will not give you a second glance now. I promise to give you a benefitting burial." She added, with a coaxing tone that sounded more desperate.
"Aurora and you wanted me dead so badly that you both wished you could push me to the grave, which is why you both made my life a living hell, but you had no idea that it made me want to live more. It makes me feel the worth of my life, so if you think I will ever kill myself, stop daydreaming!" I chuckled at seeing how flushed her entire face became at my words.
"I don't think you have any idea about what is going to happen to you soon." She scoffed and looked away to the other side. I watched as she bowed her head low, taking deep breaths.
"You really have to kill yourself. You should die as soon as possible. At all cost, you should be a dead girl..." I overheard her musing to herself, clenching her fists tight.
She raised her head after muttering those words, and for the very first time, I saw fear gleaming in her eyes, but it later disappeared and was replaced with intense hatred as she flashed a look at me.
"So you won't kill yourself for anything?" She asked me with a mischievous smile, but I was concerned about that fear which I first saw.
"If you tell me why you want me dead so badly, I might kill myself. Is your life at stake because I am still alive?" I asked back and noticed her hand shivered with her eyes widening a bit at my question.
"What....what are you saying?" She stuttered, frowning deeply as her eyes peered into mine.
"You know what I am saying." I shrugged and she was about to say something when we both heard a tap on the car door.
It was at that moment that I realized we were already in the school. I began to hear the faint noise of students from afar as my eyes roamed through the car window.
"Won't you come out there, dirty pig!" Nana's yell shot into my head, and I quickly opened the door and stepped out.
My jaw dropped instantly as I looked around the surrounding area of the car park to see flashy cars. The environment was so beautiful and had trees and flowers.
"You seem to like this school, but in a few minutes, this school will be your terror that you dread entering." Nana stated in a threatening tone that made me feel uneasy.
"Follow me." She added in a commanding tone before walking towards the school building that was almost like paradise. My head was snapping from side to side as I kept admiring it till we got into an office.
I wasn't interested in whatever registration she was doing and only waited till she was done. They gave her a desk tag, so I drew closer to get mine.
"What?" They both asked me in unison, giving me a gawky stare as if I was mad.
"I..want to know my desk number." I spluttered, feeling my cheeks hot at their stares.
"Your slave really has guts! She is actually asking for a desk number," the woman exclaimed in surprise that left me confused.
"She is unhinged for now. Please help me tell all the students to treat her as badly as they want. I want her life to be as hellish as ever in this school, so she will learn her lessons and stop acting like she wants" Nana blurted, and it really knocked my head like firecrackers.
"Nana, you can't do this to me. I am sorry that I asked for a desk...I..." The rest was forced back into my mouth as she smacked my face hard with the back of her palm before dragging me through the hair, tearing the band holding my hair together.
"I will send the messages to every class now. Your slave is something else." The woman scoffed, sneering at me.
Nana nodded and pulled my hair harder as we stepped out of the office, heading towards the hallway. I felt an anguishing pain from the strain on my head, which really forced me to start crying as I begged to be released.
We got to the hallways, and I could see some students peeping at me through the window of their class.
We finally got to the class, and she paused and smirked at me.
"They are all waiting for you..." She said this to me in malignancy, and before I could recover from the raging pains in my skull to understand what she meant, she kicked me into the class.
"Here is the killer of the Luna of this pack!" Her voice echoed sharply in my ears as I landed heavily on my butt.
I quickly stood up and my eyes fell on every student in front of me staring back at me in anger and resentment. Even the teacher backed away in disgust and abhorrence.
Nana walked past me and sat gently on her desk while I stood there wondering what to do next as shame took hold of me.
"Go and sit, you are stinking!!" The teacher, who was a female, yelled at me and covered her nose. I glanced at her as tears welled up in my eyes, then back to the students.
Every seat was occupied.
"Are you deaf?" Her words came again, this time with a slap at the back of my head, snapping it in an awkward way.
The whole class laughed at me, and I could only swallow hard as I took a step forward, looking for at least a single person with a calm face, so I would beg to sit with him or her.
"Come sit with me, only on one condition, you must pull off that rag you are wearing!" A huge guy who has the typical bully appearance spoke out from the back, and the whole class laughed again.
I walked angrily to where Nana sat.
"You brought me here, so I should sit with you or you tell me where to sit!" I bawled, my voice already in a crying tone.
"I never said we would sit together. Do as he says. She rasped, gesturing at the bully.
"Hey....go sit on the ground if no one accepts you. Who would want to sit with a monster like you!" The teacher shouted at me, and the word "monster" hurt me differently.
"Monster is the right name for her!" Someone screamed, and the next thing I heard was everyone calling me a monster.
Without saying anything, I sat down on the floor with my knees bent over as I buried my face in my arms, and that made everyone laugh again.
I don't know how long the lesson was, nor did I know when the teacher left. I had even dozed off, but what woke me up was the burning sensation of a whip that seared through my neck down to my back.
I jumped in terror and excruciating pain that waved through my entire body, but as I looked up, what I saw made my blood run cold in horror as I froze instantly.
