Chapter 8

• Hutton's POV
• I hate myself for that. It hurts to know that there was nothing I could do.
• "Now leave!" He shrugged and yanked her hair again as he turned to her.
• "Are you really leaving? You aren't my boyfriend?" The voice of Scarlett broke in like a slap to my cheeks. I had already taken three steps away before she said those words, and It really tore my heart into shreds.
• "He isn't your boyfriend, he doesn't fucking care about you, so shut your mouth!" Xander growled and slapped her hard.
• She fell off to the ground, sending rage through me. Xander smirked and threw a glance at me like he was inviting me to a fight.
• It was like he wanted me to fight him and was hurting her intentionally.
• "But why are you doing this to her?" I asked under my breath. My voice couldn't sound harsh, it couldn't sound strong. I even found it hard to keep a stern face instead of a fretting one.
• "You have no guts to ask me that. Come take her from me!" He taunted and dragged her from the floor. He pressed her boobs and slapped her when she tried to stop him.
• "Tell him to come to release you from my grasp," he snorted, and I felt weak. When I looked around, I saw the students all staring at me, waiting to know what I would do,
• "You want me to fight you? If you want to fight with me, why hurt her then?" I asked, turning to face him fully. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth, looking ready for a fight, but deep in my heart, I prayed he wouldn't accept to fight with me.
• "He is the son of the powerful Alpha who ruled the North American Packs. He should be powerful. Why can't he fight for the girl he claims to love?" He scoffed and played with her nipples, pinning her to the wall with the other hand. She struggled but was never able to escape. Multiple slaps would always land on her cheek.
• She would keep looking at me with pleading eyes full of tears. I had never fought with Xander and never prayed to fight him one day. It had always been peaceful. He had never crossed my path until today. I had watched him fight with another Alpha Prince.
• It was always terrible and horrific; they never got the chance to give him a scratch while he broke their bones and gashed their skin. It was always bloody. Everyone fears and dreads his presence.
• When I looked up at him, my eyes widened as I noticed Scarlett's uniform was torn, her white bra was visible, and her cheeks were shiny red from his constant slapping.
• With great anger, I attacked Xander with my werewolf form, using all the strength I had. It was to be an unexpected attack on him since he was backing me as he hit my girlfriend, but I was wrong.
• Just as I was about to punch his neck from behind, it hit her instead, as he had speedily swerved out. My punch landed on Scarlett's head, making her pass out immediately. My eyes widened in great shock.
• "Ahh, you want to kill her?" I heard Xander ask from behind with a taunting giggle.
• Scarlett!!!" I screamed her name, carrying her into my arms.
• "Drop her and fight me; I won't let you go because you decided to ruin my sweet moment with her," Xander growled, but I wasn't paying attention because he was talking about dropping her.
• My heart is broken at the shrill she made at my punch before fainting. I am taking her to the school health care center immediately.
• I was already at the door when he sped to my front with a deep frown.
• "Did you just snub me?" I felt my eyes becoming wet as he questioned with a raised brow.
• "Are you going to let her die?" I asked with a crack tone.
• "Other students can take her to the hospital while we settle our dispute!" He fumed, rolling up his sleeves. My eyes fluttered at his muscles and tattoos.
• Today is my worst day in school. I should be grieving for my mother's death, but I think the main grief is yet to come. Xander has decided to shatter me for nothing.
• I was still trying to convince him to let me be when he took Scarlett from my arms with one hand. He flung her to a student who caught her in his arms.
• "Take her to the clinic!" He ordered, and the male student ran off.
• "Xander, what is my crime? Where did I wro….n…ged" voice was broken by a heavy blow which landed on my belly. At first, I thought I would die. My breath wasn't normal again. His blow made me fall flat to the ground.
• "You want to fight for your mate, right?" He scoffed, with his tone showing how deeply he hated his mates.
• "She isn't my mate!" I grunted, and he dragged me up, but I quickly gave him a headbutt, making him release his grip on me. I quickly sent a simultaneous kick to his chest and fell instead of him. It just made him take a step backwards.
• "Wow, thats impressive," he nods, clapping his hand.
• I stood up and shifted into my werewolf form again. I was ready to fight him with all I got, but I felt my strength sapped out as he shifted a bit into something strange but powerful.
• Everyone was in awe. I was transfixed, my mouth agape. Something was forming out of his back, just like a pair of wings. His claws were strong, and there were long sharp fangs visible in his mouth.
• Just then, the school bell rang for the end of break, and it all went in. He returned to normal and rolled his eyes at me.
• "You are just a pup" He sneered, walking back to his chair.
