Chapter 4 That girl!

Ryley and his friends stood there all shocked and numb like a statue staring at her body.

'Gosh? Why are these girls so dumb? She literally slit her wrists overhearing us. It was just a prank God damn it. We never shot her video, we just acted like that to teach her a lesson.'

He thought while behind him,

"Ohh god! She is dead."

"Shit! she committed suicide!"

"The wild wolves gang killed another student!"

Distant chattering broke behind them. Though they felt like shutting their mouths forever, they could not. They were already in a mess. A girl committed suicide! "God, guys we need to do something. The crowd is increasing too, shit! Why does she have to kill herself." Hazel stuck close to Ryley who was as dumbfounded as her.

It was his idea to do all this and now, it took somebody's life and pushed them into the ocean of problems, "Come on we need to get this cleared. Wait, I will call the cleaner." Shame on him, he just proved out to be the reason behind someone's death and there was no guilt, no pain on his face. "Zander you go bring the cleaner."

It was supposed to be the first day of college for Lucy alas it turned out to be the last day of her life. She would have never thought the beginning of something new would become the end of her entire world. The shameless gang watched her briefly but none efforted to bend down and check her pulse. The blood from her body kept continuously flowing away.

Zander, who has gone out to call the peon, returned with the 'Principal' of their school Dr. Anthony Saldanha. All of them glared at him for returning with the principal. In turn, he gave an apologetic look. "Oh my my! Shit, what did you all do?" Dr. Saldanha, the principal, covered his mouth, not believing in his eyes at all. A girl was lying in a pool of blood with her wrists scraped cold.

"Sorry guys, I was on the way to call the cleaner, but the Principal caught me in the middle of my track. Somebody informed him about this, I guess." Clarke clenched his teeth on Zander's explanation, he turned around murderously eyeing the pack of students standing together. He showed them his forefinger as though giving them a warning to keep their mouths shut.

They were least bothered about Lucy, all they cared about was for themselves.

Ryley's house,

In Alpha's cabin,

Ryley with his friends stood in a semi circle in his father- Alpha Hercules' cabin with hands obediently folded, like kids. Their eyes rolled from time to time having the Principal giving a gist of everything that happened in the college. Alpha Hercules was flabbergasted to hear about the girl's death.

She was rushed to the hospital, her pulse was slow, but she was alive. They managed to successfully take her to the hospital theatre. However before they could begin treating her, she gave up and bid bye to the world.

Alpha's eyes blazed like the red sun in the afternoon. His shoulders trembled as he glanced at Ryley's face who shrugged his shoulders having the look 'We did not do it purposely, it just happened!' on his face that turned alpha crazy at them all. He snarled getting up from his chair and at the same time hitting his palms on the desk that made a loud noise. The glass on the desk shattered into small million pieces but the intriguing part was, they did not scatter around. It remained on the desk, seeming as though the glass had innumerable cracks on it.

Alpha Hercules' skin pierced in the manner with the little pieces of glass. The children (Ryley's bully gang) moved backwards, sticking together as they gawked at the tense situation. Alpha growled as if he would eat them alive. Words were not needed, his eyes said so many things. "Wasn't it enough what you did last time that you guys again started carrying on with your mischievous activities! Nah? wait, not mischievous. What you did today is worse than the last time. You killed somebody, you killed that poor girl. She did not commit suicide that was you all who forced her to take such a step." His every word left a great impact on them.

Their bodies were sweating, their quivering lips showed how the Alpha's exasperation affected them except Ryley. He was unaffected. Although he was a bit scared seeing his father so angry, yet he knew tomorrow will be a new day and everything will be eventually forgotten. And again, they will be their parent's adorable spoiled children.

"If not Principal sir, I am definitely going to take strict steps against you all. Now get the fuck out of my cabin. I don't want any of you all in this dumb fuck's room, go to the guest room and wait there. No one is going to leave this house until and unless I don't tell you so." Feeling offended for being called dumbfuck in front of his friends, Ryley threw the case kept nearby harshly on the floor that it broke down.

The poor principal adjusted his spectacles on his nose seeing his guts in front of the alpha. Soon after they exited, alpha Hercules let out a defeated sigh. He sunk in his seat not before offering the principal to settle down. Dr. Anthony, removed his specs and placed them on the broken powdered glass over the desk carefully, "Alpha I request you don't take severely strict actions against them. They are kids, they will not understand anything at all with punishment, rather it will just worsen their behaviour and them. We really need to take some constructive steps other than penalizing them. " He said, sounding serious.

He was correct. The more you punish the children with the thoughts that it will teach them a lesson and prevent them from carrying out any mischief, the vulgar they become and do worse. Same was with Ryley and his gang- ah, means, the Wild Wolves gang... Just as they call themselves.

Alpha hummed in agreement. "Right, Anthony. I agree with you but honestly speaking the reason behind all the mishaps happening in the school is my son- Ryley." Mr. Anthony stared at Alpha for he was kind of antagonizing his own son whereas the other parents would defend them.

Okay, back to the aura of seriousness, alpha gave a small side smile while looking away in his right at the window, " Yes Anthony, I mean it. The reason is Ryley why the others could do such things in the school. They have a dominating freedom, only because one of the members of their gang is Alpha's son and the next alpha in line. If Ryley is brought under control then the others will be in control automatically. Ryley's background manipulates them." He sighed resting his head on the back of his chair.

Closing his eyes, Alpha sat in silence for a minute or two until he spoke again, "I am literally fed up with everything now. This boy made me give up on him. I am just looking for a hope that will help him get sober and leave behind everything he is doing in the school. Just a ray of hope. Just a ray!" He was busy breathing deeply when a knock fell on the doors of his cabin.

The Beta of the pack, and Zander's father Mr. Brown, walked in looking extremely astonished. "Alpha, the girl we rescued, has opened her eyes. "

No sooner had he heard the mention of her than his eyes wide opened to the size of a round big balloon staring at his beta back with equal astonishment.

In Ryley's room,

After getting inside of his room, Ryley slammed the door so badly that it made the walls tremble at the force. He growled on top of his voice until his throat became dry. His eyes were red as lava, Ryley smashed and broke and dislocated every article in his room. He turned his once lovely bedroom into a mess.

"How can he just call me a dumbfuck in front of my friends. How?" He threw the sheets, removing them from the bed, somewhere between the trash on the floor. "Was it my fault that she committed suicide? He directly called me a murderer." He hissed like a monster breaking anything that reached his hands.

His face was red with hair covering his forehead. Since he was wearing a black shirt, it turned wet with his sweat sticking to his maintained torso. Ryley pulled his hair behaving like a maniac, if anyone has been here with him would unquestionably have gone insane after experiencing his fury. Squatting down on the floor across the bed, he pulled his hair while a few drops of tear appeared in his eyes.

Sitting silently in that position, by covering his face, he spread awkwardness around. Ryley was in no mood to listen to any kind of noise. He growled twice whilst hearing the sound of footsteps walking from outside of his room. He ignored it in the beginning but when it increased, he crazily shouted striding near the door losing his last strand of temper.

He gripped the neck of the servant who was rushing around and pinned him to the wall next to his door. He growled at the poor soul for disturbing him. He was on the edge of hitting him in the face until, "That girl gained her consciousness, prince!" What he said widened Ryley's eyes.

That girl means- Valentine.

Overwhelmed at the disclosure, Ryley cannot contain his curiosity and quickly rushed to the room she was taken in. He pushed everyone aside and stopped in the middle of the doorstep, watching Valen's partially opened eyes. She was mumbling something.

With Jason by her side and Alpha Hercules on the other, Ryley slowly slipped inside her bedroom. When he was sure he could take a proper glance at her face, he heard Jason mentioning his name, "Well this is Ryley, Valen... He carried you all the way from the place of the accident till the hospital."

"Ryley?" Something churned inside Ryley's stomach when his name slipped from her mouth.

He was still clueless at the silent and thrilled atmosphere spreading in the room. But when he realized her soft yet weak gaze was lingering on his facade, he couldn't look away.

"Ryley is usually a dumbfuck, but yeah, it's him who saved you." His teeth gritted annoyingly when Alpha Hercules threw a mocking remark.

Ryley opened his mouth to say something to his father but Valen interrupted, "I think I saw you before." He instantly cut his gaze from his father's profile and brought it back to Valen's.

She was smiling sweetly at him which directly hit his heart, making it throb at a strange feeling.

"It's impossible for you to see me before, Valentine." Ryley tried to sound stern but he knew he had not managed it.

"You won't believe it but I did." She softly said, looking at Doctor Jason. "I saw him in my dream, dadda. He was carrying me in his arms and,"

"Bullshit!" Rolling his eyes angrily, Ryley twirled around and left the room at once while Valen innocently stared at his retreating frame.

She did see him in her dream. But who was to tell that to that freaking bully.

Tbc...
