"Kyle duck!"


    Kyle turned in time to find Mrs. Lau leaping into the air with her hands out to grab at him. "What the heck?"


    "Mrs. Lau?" I asked in shock. "What is wrong?"


    Mrs Lau missed Kyle a bit so she skidded to the side. Then she narrowed her eyes on me and I wondered what was wrong. "You..."


    I nced to the back to see if she was talking to someone behind me. She wasn''t. It was me. "What did I do wrong? Mrs. Lau, please stop this, everyone is watching."


    Suddenly, she stood upright to re at Kyle. "How dare you use the school media room to spread stupid messages?" Kyle ced both hands in his pockets. "Is that why you almost attacked me?"


    I was panicking now because everyone woulde out and see us fighting like cats and dogs. Lunch break was almost over. It would sain students in this halls and I do not want to be the center of attention again. It always doesn''t end well for me. Mrs. Lau chuckled haughtily. "I suggest we do this a try office if you do not want her to get hurt."


    1 exchanged looks with Kyle. His eyes held something I couldn''t understand. It was as if he knew why she was behaving like this, but I had no idea why she was acting this aggressive. She was the school Dean, yet she leaped meters into the air hoping to take a swipe at the Alpha.


    It never did work, anyways.


    I knew it had something to do with this morning when he took his little detour. He mist have had a falling out with her.


    "Am I invited to this office because if I am not, I need to go back to the cafeteria or something." I said, taking a step backwards. I was acting selfish, I know, but Kyle would be able to take care of himself if this woman attacked. Me?


    "Now you are just being selfish. Go along with him. He will keep you safe and you don''t need to eavesdrop this time."


    "Why do you always have to be a party pooper, Naya?"


    She rolled her eyes. "Because I am the voice of reasoning."


    Her voice sounded dreamy.


    "You are my wolf. A cunning one who sees many things because her host is kind enough to show her." I retorted.


    She didn''t seem fazed at my harsh words. "You are only irate because you want to know what going to happen when they leave, yet you do not wan to intrude in their discussion."


    She was right again.


    "Nayae with us." Kyle nodded in approval. I sighed in relief, feeling better than I thought I would. I followed Mrs.


    Lau. Mrs Lau didn''t look pleased as she gave me a stiff nod: She didn''t look like some crazies animal few minutes ago. Where was that woman? It was creepy to see her in her normal self of suit and nerdy sses.


    Few minutes ago, she was all talons and ready to bite in anger. What did Kyle and I do to piss her off that much?


    She was walking to her office enthusiastically. She mist have nothing good nned for us in there. Thest time I was at Mrs. Lau''s office was the day she summoned I and Brooke. The part where Brooke acted like she was a miserable cat while I was the terrorists rat when in fact, it was clear who terrorized each other the most.


    The cat always ate the mouse. I do not know if this was the right example to use in this situation since I haven''t been eaten yet by...


    "Stop rambling, Naya. You are causing me a headache. And consider Mrs. Lau as not your average cat that data mice.


    She''s part jaguar."


    I raised an eyebrow at Naya''s words. "Are we still talking about cats?" I was asking if she forgot we are wolves and I was just giving an instance the other time. She was taking things too seriously.


    "I am not. Mrs. Lau is part jaguar and part wolf. I thought I was mistaken about her scent, but as she gave this close, I could differentiate it from our scent. So distinct.


    I stopped working to process what Naya spitted out. My hands trembled as I pointed at Mrs. Lau''s back. "She is half jaguar and everyone is silent about it? How did we even get to this discussion? How did you know?" We are omegas and omegas do not smell properly. Even if we did we make mistakes all the time. The it scent I was sure of was that of my mate. I couldn''t even figure out Renee''s scent while Zeke and Kyle figured it out and o my let her be because they thought she would be a kind person to me. Naya was quiet for a while. "We are omega''s, but our senses has been enhancedtely. You won''t understand if I begin to tell you."


    "Are you okay?" Kyle pasted to check my face. I was unaware of how I looked. I simply nodded. Yeah, I would be fine even if I am not right now.


    "I am fine. Not entirely because what the hell happened back there? And why are you acting like our Dean almost tearing your neck out wasn''t terrifying."


    It was then I saw the terror in Kyle''s eyes. "She let Baron Diego in our school. Didn''t you notice the way she tried to me you for everything?"


    I blinked uncontrobly, trying to understand his words.


    "Yeah, she told everyone I was the cause of the monster''s attack. That wasn''t funny." Little shes of that terrible day came up. How the press had used me as their starting point in their careers. Nothing happens anymore in Wolf cove to make the presse after She was also looking for fame and she got it. Those were not happy days for me.


    me.


    He slowed down, leaning over to whisper in my ears. "She wasn''t aiming at me. She was aiming at you. Unfortunately, I was in the way. But we are going to be safe to say that she was aiming at me. To make it look like she thought wrong or something."


    I stopped walking entirely. "What? Does she know who I am?" If she knew I was an elder, an untrained elder and she works for Baron Diego, then she would try to take my heart out herself. That was a horrifying thought. Why would she think of doing that to a poor girl.


    "You are not poor, Naya. The moment word gets out that you have the power of the elderly one, you will be termed the most powerful woman in the pack. You will be a target." Naya exined.


    Sh*t. It felt overwhelming as Naya and Kyle exined to me what I am in their own ways.


    "Yes. She''s acting way suspicious. She didn''t know who you are before but I wonder who told her." His face was thoughtful. I wanted to know what wasn''t on in his beautiful head.


    I swallowed hard. "The people at the manor?"


    "No, Zeke filtered the bad staff from the good staff. No stafff would ever break their oath. It''s impossible." Kyle shrugged. He doesn''t seem bothered by that fact. It meant that he really trust his own people. Or rather Zeke''s judgement. Yesterday, I noticed most of the staff were not there and when I asked, I was.told that they dialed protocol and were sent home by lily. She was made head of staff.


    I was satisfied with that, but she was my mother''s minion so it did not make much difference. No matter how she tried to be cool with me, I never allow. Just like the night she tried to talk with me...


    No wonder she was made head of staff amongst others.


    Anyway, Lily isn''t my problem. Mrs Lau is.


    All these things told me one thing. Mrs. Lau is the spy we have been looking for. She was certainly reporting back to someone. That was what I wasn''t sure if the person was my mother who killed Alpha Storm or another wolf in the pack. It was puzzling.


    Mrs. Lau already bhad the door opened for us as we resumed walking into her office. Once we got it, she locked the door and offered us seats.


    I took my seat to the right, while Kyle chose to stand. I stood immediately, refusing her seat. That was when Kyle smikered at me.


    "Sit, Naya." He said. It was so simple yet the power behind those words made me want toply without asking questions and that was what I did. Comply.


    I sat down, feeling grateful anyway because my limbs were killing me. I had used my powers on Brooke so it was bound toe back to me. Nevertheless, Mrsu sat down not minding Kyle and I.


    How could she expect us to sit when she tried to attack Kyle just now? Way does she want?


    She cares Icy res at me. "Naya Cod, you have been expelled from Wolf Cove academy." My blood froze and I felt numb.
