He needs help

The fight ended with us, having the victory. There was a shout of victory over the place. Ella back hugged me. "We did it, Olive. We did it"

I Ignored her and looked around for the ruthless alpha but couldn't find him. He must have left immediately after the fight was over. I groaned. I couldn't show my gratitude before he left. . Mom ran to me and hugged me. She was too happy to show how disappointed she was that I disobeyed them. Ella jumped happily. "We won!!"

I smiled. "Yes we did. Thanks to the ruthless alpha and his warriors". Mom sighed. She gave me a long stare. I knew she had a lot to talk about. A lot she would want to ask me. "Where is dad?" I asked, trying to break the silence already building up.

"He is over here" Mom pointed. I nodded and left Ella and mom to celebrate the victory,

"Dad!!" I cooed running towards him

Dad smiled. She walked closer to me. "My baby girl!!". He wrapped his arms around me in a gentle hug and I chuckled.

"We won, dad"

He pulled away from me and nodded. "We did". I smiled. "You will have to tell me how you knew the ruthless alpha" he whispered

I sighed. "Dad..."

"Alpha Duncan" Ella's dad called, coming in our direction

Dad smiled. "My beta"

Ella ran to us. "Dad!!". Her dad lifted her and I rolled my eyes. She had always been the dad's girl. Her dad dropped her and she poked me.

"Hey!!". She chuckled. "You don't poke me like that"

"Chill, girl. We should be celebrating"

I rolled my eyes. "Why don't we hit the club?"

Ella frowned. "Not a club kind of celebration"

I furrowed my brows. "What celebration are you talking about?"

She chuckled. "Your room kind of celebration"

I narrowed my eyes. "My room?. For what?"

"Celebration"

I shook my head. "No way. We are not going to my room"

"Why?"

I folded my arms. "Because I smell mischief"

She chuckled. "Except you have a skeleton in your cupboard"

I frowned. "No, you are the one that has something up your sleeves"

She chuckled. 'I think I know why you don't want me in your room"

"Why, if I may ask?"

"You've got Nolan pictures everywhere in your room"

I frowned. "What?"

She winked. "You know what I mean"

I batted my lashes. "Pervert". I raised my hand to hit her but she ran off before I could. I ran after her. I got exhausted, running so I stopped. I could hear the loud pounding of my heart. It was like my heart would pop out of my chest soon. I placed my hands on my laps, trying to relax my breathing. Slowly my heart returned to my chest and began beating in regular rhythm again. "Just make sure I don't get you!!" I yelled

Ella stopped running. She folded her arms. "Get me if you can"

I smiled. "Of course I will and when I do, your head will be rolling over the floor" I threatened

She fanned herself. "I'm so scared right now. I will be waiting". she tapped her feet on the floor.

I smirked and stood properly. "There won't be a need for that," I said and dashed after her.

**

Someone jumped my bed, disrupting my sleep. I knew it had to be Ella. I groaned and opened my eyes. "Wakey, wakey sleepy head"

I glared at her. "Don't you have a bed to sleep in?. Why are you here?"

She chuckled. "It's time for school"

I sat up quickly. I was too tired, I did not remember I was supposed to get ready for school. I stretched and yawned. "But you don't have to wake me up that way". I held my head. "My head hurts"

She batted her lashes. "Did I hit you?. Should I get you drugs?"

I laughed. "My head doesn't hurt that much"

She sighed. "I thought I hurt you or something"

I stood up. "I will go take my bath"

"You should. You stink"

I sniffed myself and frowned. "I don't stink"

"You do"

"I'm not stinking, ok?. I smell nice"

She flipped her hair to the side. "Nice indeed"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever" I mumbled. "Just make sure you don't leave until I get back"

"Sure, boss" she answered. I smiled and closed the door behind me.

I didn't spend much time in the bathroom before stepping out. I quickly got dressed in a white polo shirt and blue ripped-off jeans. I wore black boots and brushed my hair. "Olive" Ella called

"Yes?"

"When will start acting properly?"

I furrowed my brows. "What do you mean?"

She smiled. "I mean, acting like a lady and..."

I groaned. "How many times do we have to talk about this?. You know I love it this way"

"You're a lady, not a man. You should dress properly"

I frowned. "Who sent you?. My mom?. The pack members?"

She shrugged. "No, Olive. Nobody sent me"

I batted my lashes. "You didn't send yourself. I know you too well. You are so cool with how I dress"

She chuckled. "I changed my mind"

I narrowed my eyes. My dad won't send her, cause he had always wished I was a boy and had made me dress this way. He taught me to act and behave as boys should. He won't be changing his mind all of a sudden. I frowned. Who sent her then?. "Maybe it's Nolan," my subconscious mind said

I batted my lashes. It can't be Nolan. A part of me wanted to believe he wouldn't do that but I couldn't help it. "Did Nolan sent you?"

She laughed. "Nolan won't even talk about you"

I frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean he is over you"

I blinked. He can't be over me just in a few days. Our rejection process is not complete yet. I folded my arms. "Is that the reason you were flirting with him?"

She frowned. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"You don't have to pretend. I saw you both laughing and giggling and he said he loves you"

"He never said that"

"Well, he did. Have you forgotten the, of course, I love you, you are the best?. The one he said to you yesterday?"

She busted into series of laughter. "Are you been serious right now?"

I frowned. There is nothing funny here. "It isn't funny. I should have ripped off your head if you weren't my friend"

She chuckled. "Were you jealous when you heard those words?"

"I wasn't jealous. I was just startled by the fact that he was flirting with my friend and you in turn was flirting with him. That's a betrayal on your part"

She smiled. "I did not betray you. We saw you coming and Nolan suggested we prank you"

I frowned. "It was a prank?"

She nodded. "It was. And I guess we got you"

I picked up a pillow and threw it at her. "You are such a...". I sighed. A part of me was happy those words Nolan said to Ella weren't real.

"You were jealous right?"

"I wasn't"

"You were"

I ignored her and picked up my bag. "Meet me at school when you're ready"

She frowned. "You ain't leaving me right?"

I chuckled. "You can dare me"

**

I sighted Nigel standing a distance away from us. He was looking so worried and for the first time, I had to wonder what was wrong with him. "Nigel doesn't look happy" I whisper to Ella

"Let's go find out what's wrong with him"

I frowned. "Why will I want to do that?"

"Because that's what friends do"

"I..."

She dragged me. "It isn't an option"

We got to where Nigel was and he smiled. "Hi, girls"

"We noticed you weren't in a good mood. Are you ok?. What's wrong?" Ella asked

Nigel sighed. "Nolan got into a fight again"

"You mean Nolan got into a fight?" Ella asked

Nigel nodded. "I tried stopping him but he was so stubborn. I couldn't help him. He needs help right now and I can't even face his opponent. He's so huge,"

"Where is the fight taking place?" I asked, my blood already boiling up.

"In the garden. He...". I did not wait for Nigel to round up his talk before dashing out. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Who dare touch him?. Ella ran after me. "Olive!!"

I ignored her and ran to the garden. Nolan was seated, his headset placed in its position. It seems he was listening to music and wasn't looking like someone who was involved in a fight. I walked closer to him and held his checks, trying to see if I could spot blood.

He frowned. "Get your hands off me. What the heck are you doing here?"

I frowned. "Are you not involved in a fight?"

"Fight?. I'm not involved in any fight. Now get lost"

I blinked. I thought Nigel said he was involved in a fight?. "Y-you did not get into any fight?"

"No he did not," someone said

I turned to see Nigel and Ella. Ella was trying to prevent herself from laughing. "What do you mean?"

Nigel laughed. "He wasn't involved in any fight, ok?. It's a prank"

I batted my lashes. Is he been serious?. I frowned. "I-it's a prank?"
