<h4>Chapter 448: 448-Finally Out In The World</h4>


    <strong>Suki:</strong>


    "Hm. You think that will be it? That you will break the deal with me and walk away?" she asked, trying to take control of her emotions.


    I started to scoff and shook my head. I had no clue what was wrong with this woman, but there was not much I could do anymore.


    "Well, then go ahead and do whatever the fuck you want to do. What will you do, huh? Do you want me to fulfill some wish for you?" I asked calmly. I did not need to be scared of her. If anything, she would be punished for asking me for a wish, so there was no reason for me to be afraid.


    "When you tell the world, you will be exposing yourself," I added.


    "Oh, you have no idea," shemented, shaking with anger.


    I onlyughed and gestured for her to go away.


    She remained standing, trying to make me talk more, or maybe hoping I would apologize or exin why I did not grant her a wish. I did not stop. I simply turned and started to walk away.


    Then I remembered something.


    Maybe Oriana told Miss Rue that she had a wish and that she was going to help her with it. I started to put everything together. Recently, the only thing Miss Rue did for Oriana was be the witness to the assault Yorickmitted against her.


    Did they lie about it? Maybe she lied, and then asked Oriana to get a wish for her.


    In any case, I had no problem with it. If she went and told the world she had lied, she would get into trouble. I would just say that I never imed she witnessed anything. She inserted herself into it.


    The others, from what Joshua told me, had already seen Yorick standing in front of me, fixing his belt while holding the dagger. So it was fine.


    Miss Rue was just trying to fire a shot in the dark.


    I heard her cry and grow angry. She tried to get my attention again by scoffing and breathing loudly. I continued on through the passageway to meet Joshua.


    "What was going on?" he asked, probably because I had raised my voice at Miss Rue.


    "I guess she needed something from me. Let’s just forget about her. Nobody even cares about her anyway," I replied with augh, and he nodded along.


    "Well, from the looks of it, I don’t think anything is normal. It seems like Clementine and Ian really caused serious damage to the Academy," Joshua remarked, resting his hands on his waist while looking around.


    The lurkers were gathered in one ce. The ringleaders stood in front of them, saying something. I had no idea what was going on, but I could tell Joshua was right.


    "This could be the end of the Academy," Joshuamented with a smile on his lips.


    "That means you’ll be out of here too," I told him gently, cing my hand on his bicep and squeezing it.


    "Yeah. I can return to my pack as an alpha," he replied.


    As soon as he said that, I smiled and hugged him again. I knew we were openly showing affection, but I did not care.


    I was not going to stay with Yorick. That was Oriana’s wish. I wanted to be with my mate.


    "And I will take you home with me," he added.


    When we broke the hug, he gently patted my cheek.


    "I can’t wait for us to be together again. Anyway, I’ll go grab my bags," I said to him, all smiles.


    "Oriana, the car has arrived. You will be dropped off at your mate’s mansion today," Mr. Rick arrived.


    I rolled my eyes tiredly.


    "Oh yeah? How are you going to deal with it? He must hate you, and I don’t want him to attack you again, thinking you’re Oriana," Joshua whispered with concern.


    I hesitated. I was worried because I did not want to tell Joshua that I suspected Oriana had lied about Yorick.


    That would only make him worry more about my safety. We had no other choice but for me to go to Yorick’s ce.


    Even if Oriana lied, that was Yorick’s problem.


    I did not care. I never liked Clementine or her squad mates anyway.


    "I’ll see you soon," I told Joshua, giving his hands a firm squeeze.


    "Oriana, a car has arrived to pick you up. If you’re done talking, grab your bags ande with me," Ms. Lenora instructed.


    Hearing those words filled me with excitement. I was finally out of the Academy.


    "Okay, Joshua. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I love you after what you’ve done for me," I said happily before skipping off toward my room.


    I quickly grabbed whatever Oriana owned. I did not want it, but I also did not want to raise suspicion. I packed everything and got ready to leave.


    "Okay, guys, bye," I told Mira, Renee, and Sebastian. I expected a hug, but they looked upset about returning to the North.


    "Whatever," I muttered, turning and strolling away with confidence.


    I got into the car and started my journey. Throughout the ride, I did not stop smiling once. I was just happy.


    I looked around at everything as if I had never seen it before, almost like I was an alien.


    To be honest, if it were not for Joshua, I would not have been here. I rubbed my palms together with excitement.


    I would just tell Yorick to reject me, and I was sure that after the way Oriana forced herself on him, he would happily reject me and want nothing to do with me.


    The car stopped at several ces so I could eat lunch and have meals, and I enjoyed every moment of it.


    Once I was outside, I realized that at each ce where I stopped for food, people were talking about the recent events.


    It seemed Clementine had released tapes, and that was not the only shocking part.


    The most disturbing part was that the alphas, or the so-called evil ones, had been watching us and bidding on us. It had all been a game to them.


    Still, I did not care. I was finally arriving at the ce that would lead me back into Joshua’s arms.


    I stepped out of the car and smiled, standing in front of the mansion.


    "Well, time to get rejected," I remarked, reaching for the door and knocking.
