The Cursed Lycan - Chapter 23: Chapter 23

All I knew was that two other teachers came in and gave their lectures, but I could swear I heard no meaningful words from them.
I wasn't listening as different thoughts kept swarming into my head. I couldn't wait for the closure bell to ring, so I would run over to Laura and the Alpha to tell them what just happened today.
It was something that needed an urgent response before it got out of hand. Everything we planned and arranged was all falling apart, and at the end, we could be faced with a dreadful outcome that would make us regret all we had done to Ella.
I glanced over my shoulder and saw Ella still sitting with her head buried under the desk, and it made me curious about what might have transpired between the Lycan and her. There was no trace of a smile or excitement when she stepped into the classroom with Dracula but then again, the love was still there. That was why he gave that order that would force me to let Ella attend school without missing any day. Just so they will keep seeing each other.
A silent hiss slipped my lips as it dawned on me once again that Dracula had restrained my right to get Ella locked up in the royal palace.
The teacher was seriously explaining a lot of things to the students while most of them were already sleeping, and some even had headphones deafening their ears. Only the bookish nerds sitting on the front rows had their whole attention on the teacher, asking questions and jotting things down.
I was getting frustrated already, and my eyes wouldn't stop leaving the wall clock, which was becoming slower than usual. It was as if the clock hands decided to go slowly because I was waiting for closing time.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the school bell rang, forcing the teacher to stop what she was saying and rush out of the classroom, knowing full well that the students were already tired of her lectures and wouldn't tolerate it if she lingered any longer.
I stood quickly and picked up my bag, heading straight to where Ella was. She was still lying there, and it seemed like she had fallen asleep because she made no movement after the bell.
I stared at her for a few minutes, my hand folded against my chest, a deep frown on my face, and anger boiling in my heart.
I swear, what was popping in my head was to get the nearest sharp object and stab Ella in the neck. My hatred for her was becoming unbearable and burning like fire in my heart.
It was as if my future was no longer sure with her around. I had always wanted to be the alpha, and that had been my dream. It would only work if Ella disappeared from this world. The alpha had already picked me as his daughter over her, but I still feel insecure right now with what was seemingly becoming her fate with the powerful Lycan.
I don't want to believe they are mates. It just shouldn't be. And I won't be alive to see the Lycan prince mark her.
I'd rather die than allow that to happen!
"Get up from there, bitch!" My voice rang out throughout the class and was followed by the sharp, resounding sound of my slap that lashed against the back of her neck.
Her screeching cry followed as she jumped from the chair abruptly, clutching at her neck as she stumbled away from me in fear.
"You had the guts to sleep and enjoy yourself right now, huh?...what are you thinking?" I fired, and she only shook her eyes, moving away from me as she rubbed the back of her neck, which was already smeared red.
"Oh, life is getting better for you, right?" I seethed, gritting my teeth, while she kept shaking her head, muttering a silent "no" as tears poured down her face.
"Come here!" I ordered, and I was glad at that moment that she had my slave mark on her neck, which would force her into obeying me.
"I am so sorry...I..." She whimpered, dragging her legs over the floor as she drew closer to me .
Some students were watching as I grabbed her hair and yanked her forward; she lost balance and fell flat, but I never cared as I pulled her with me while scurrying out of the door.
She was sprawling and stumbling around the ground against my pull, begging me to free her, but there was no way I was going to do that, and this was just the beginning.
Either I or she will die. If I let her live, when the Lycan prince accepts her and makes her queen, I will become her slave and suffer horribly for everything I did to her. Not only me, but also the Alpha and Scarlet.
"Why are you doing all this to me? I never disobeyed or wronged you in anyway. I slept off by accident." She moaned as we got into the sitting room, my hand pulling her scattered hair, and I could see her scalp reddening from the strain. It made my heart leap with excitement.
With all my might and wolf ability, I gave her a headbutt, which sent her crashing onto the ceramic center table. She went to her knees, begging for mercy, as she cried bitterly while her left elbow was also bleeding from a cut, but I don't give a fuck.
The maids and bodyguards were all looking, and just at that same time, Scarlett made her way down the stairs.
"Wow, what has the demonic child done again?" She snickered, smiling mischievously as she drew closer to me.
"What will happen to me if I get a knife and stab her to death! Tell me, because at this point I can bear whatever the consequence is! All I want is for this slutty bitch to get the hell outta this world!" I yelled, breathing heavily as a rush of rage stormed within me.
Even my wolf was fighting to break out and attack Ella. The sight of her was making me petrified. In my head, I was already seeing how the future would look when she become the queen of the Lycan kingdom one day.
I would definitely pay dearly for all the pain I caused her.
"Scarlett, you have to calm down. Go in and change your uniform. Eat and have your nap. You don't need to stress yourself out for this girl. She is your slave already. There's no need to kill her." Laura soothed me, smiling calmly as she patted my back.
"You and the Alpha must be aware of something! So urgently!" I moaned, feeling so disturbed and restless.
Her brows furrowed as she narrowed her eyes at me, giving me a questioning look.
At that same moment, the Alpha appeared in view, staring at us all quizzically.
"What is happening here?" He inquired, scoffing at Ella as he stood beside me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder in a fatherly manner after seeing how shaky I was.
"Daddy, we are in trouble." I sighed, and more confusion filled his eyes. Laura was also peering at me curiously.
"We met Dracula, the Lycan prince, at school. He came as our new history teacher." I told them, and the first question Laura asked was if he saw Ella.
"This is supposed to be good news! He must have come for Ella! Why didn't he see her, yet? I am sure she wouldn't be alive now if it had happened!" Laura exclaimed, and Dad nodded, squinting his eyes at me.
"Why didn't you do everything possible to make the Lycan meet Ella! We had been blowing that flute just to...."
"Dad, stop!" I cut him off, grunting, as I was also feeling a serious headache already.
"I just said he was introduced as our teacher, which means he was in front of the class where Ella and I were staying. He fucking saw both of us and did absolutely nothing! You both have to know that we have failed!" I bawled as tears welled up in my eyes and fell freely down my cheeks.
Laura was stunned, and Dad actually backed away with his eyes wide open. Both had their mouths agape as they gasped in great shock and disbelief.
"No. No. No! Just no!" Laura breathed, shaking her head as she panted, her eyes flickering at every corner. Sweat was already plastered all over her face, and she appeared more terrified than everyone.
"What did he say? Did he lose his memories? How did it all turn out?" The Alpha kept throwing questions on top of each other as he spun and peered furiously at Ella, who was still silent and sitting helplessly on the floor there with her head bowed to the ground.
"I am afraid, we were unable to convince the Lycan prince. He is busy helping Ella at school, treating her differently, like she is a special person to him. He even made an order that would prevent me from stopping Ella from attending school every day. He is falling in lo...."
"Don't mention that to my ears!" Laura shouted instinctively at me, her eyes shimmering with fury.
"I know it is hard, but that is actually what it all seemed like. Even my fellow classmates couldn't deny it. He was overly protective of her, even when he tried to hide his feelings. You won't believe he slapped me for insisting on staying in the office when he wanted to have a private time with Ella!!" I cried out, and it was like a thunder strike to Laura, who suddenly lost her balance and flopped on the couch behind her.
The Alpha was so astounded that he didn't even care to check on her. Everywhere was dead silent at my statement, and all that could be heard were silent gasps and panting. We all knew danger loomed.
We all knew that we were not safe anymore.
"Have you seen why I asked what the consequence will be when I kill her?! What will be our fate when their love grows stronger and he eventually marks her and...."
"Please shut up!" Laura barked, banging her palm on the center table as she huffed and puffed in rage.
"So, Ella, this is your plan?" The alpha growled at her, and for the first time, she lifted her head. Tears were all over her cheeks and brimming in her eyes.
"I made no plan. Go ask the Lycan what is stopping him from killing me, or you wait; who knows, he might do as you wish in the future." She exhaled heavily, her voice sounding so downcast and gloomy.
"We know, you wish we would fold our hands and wait for that future where he would mark you and crown you his queen so you could make us suffer. We are fully aware of your plans and tactics, but I personally assure you. Before then, you will be six feet under the ground! I promise you that." Laura cut in sharply, her voice so stern and eerie that I became quite confused. The threat sounded alive and real, as if there was some kind of secret enmity between them.
