Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 46

Lily's

POV

I was barely able to make it to the bathroom, entering the first stall I could replace open when I vomited, my entire body shaking with anger as tears trickled down my cheeks. Sliding to the ground, I held my knees to my chest and sobbed hard.

Aiden has succeeded in making me do something that I had never wanted to do and what was worse, was that during the act, I realized that I had not hated it.

I had not hated when he grabbed fistfuls of my hair and stared into my eyes, his filled with an intensity that I did not understand and hate, such bright hate that I knew without a doubt how he felt about me.

And yet, as he moved in my mouth, I had felt something else. I didn't know what it was but it was not hatred like I wanted to and that made me ashamed of myself.

What was wrong with me? Was I that broken? Did I have no regard for myself anymore? Was I truly every horrible thing that I was called?

And then as if it was not enough, I realized that I had not even waited to replace out whether or not Aiden kept his promise of deleting the video after what he made me do.

Suddenly feeling my throat close up, in panic, I struggled to breathe and tried to calm myself.

I didn't know anything about Aiden except that he hated me with passion and that he seemed to derive pleasure in the demise of others.

Which meant that the chances of him deleting that video was zero to none and that I was just stupid for leaving without even making sure that he kept his word.

God, this just kept getting worse and worse.

I felt dirty, cheap, used and degraded.

I vaguely heard giggles as I hugged my entire body tighter and suddenly, the door to my stall was opened and when I looked up, I saw Rhea and Chelsea staring at me, the smiles on their faces going dim immediately their eyes landed on me.

"Oh my God" Rhea gasped and the two of them rushed into the tiny stall and helped me to my feet, bringing me out and helping me sit on the chair outside the bathroom even as Rhea brought out a napkin to wipe my face.

"What happened?" She asked, her eyes filled with worry and when I just looked up at her, unsure of what to even say, I saw that Chelsea's brows were raised in question and her eyes suddenly went wide as if she realized something and her face suddenly turned sad. But it was Rhea that finally spoke again.

"What happened to you, Lily? Why do you smell like Aid-" Chelsea elbowed her subtly, shaking her head and Rhea's eyes widened, her face hardening in rage while her question made me tremble in fear.

"Come with us. We will take care of you." Rhea said softly and if I could speak, I would have thanked her for not asking anything else.

I was too ashamed and tired to even begin to speak and I knew that if Aiden found out that I had told them anything, it would be even worse for me, but it seemed like they already suspected from the looks on their faces. Was this what he did? Blackmailed innocent girls to suck his d**k?

"Let's take you home." Chelsea said, walking beside me as Rhea held my hand and we headed towards the exit.

When I raised my eyebrows in question, wondering how they wanted to take me home, Chelsea brought out a pair of car keys.

"We'll use Rhea's ride. She can't drive so I do most of the driving."

"Well, driving is not my forte, any more than cooking is yours." Rhea said with a roll of her eyes.

"Hey! I can cook just fine!" Chelsea shot back.

"You gave me food poisoning!"

"One time!"

This earned a giggle from me and I didn't even know how to begin to thank them that they were trying to distract me by keeping things mundane.

We had just stepped into the car park, almost at Rhea's car when to my surprise and embarrassment, I saw Ren leaning against the passenger door casually, looking up at the sky.

Chin length silver hair wafted in the wind, obstructing most of his face. His jawline was sharp edges and gentle curves. His uniform, impeccably clean. He was the picture of lazy aristocratic grace.

Just approaching him felt like approaching peace, sanity and tranquility. Nothing like the madness and darkness I have just been subjected to.

I was a stain right next to him.

I stopped moving, slowing down Rhea who had been holding my hand and when she and Chelsea turned back to look at me, I swallowed, feeling nothing but shame and fear because I knew that Ren would be able to read my thoughts if he wanted to or if I wasn't already unknowingly screaming them to him like I had done in the past.

"Maybe I should just go home myself." I whispered and Rhea was about to answer but Ren had already noticed us. He was already walking towards us. He was going to replace out. Oh god, he was going to replace out what happened between me and his best friend. Watching his features change was like watching a train wreck happen right in front of you.

I watched as his features turned from relief to joy to confusion, worry and then... cold, hard rage.

The soft smile that he had been wearing when his eyes met mine disappeared in an instant replaced by a cold look that I had never seen before.

He ground his teeth, obviously very f*****g pissed, and without a word, he turned and started walking back towards the school.

Oh no.

Oh god, he had seen. He knows. He knows what I did. How much of a w***e I am. He's disgusted. He's mad at me.

I lowered my head in shame, because without a doubt, I had misjudged him. Of course, he had nothing to do with any of this. I had overreacted and thought that he was like his friends

"Hey! Ren! Where are you going?"Rhea called after him. But he just waved her off, not bothering to look back at her.

"I have something I need to take care of." He answered coldly, taking a turn that made him disappear from our view.

I was going to be sick. I was going to throw up all over again.

No no no.

"Hey, hey! Are you okay? You look like you're about to throw up." Chelsea shook me softly when I didn't respond, triggering another wave of nausea.

I groaned and covered my mouth.

"Oop. Sorry. Do you need a minute?"

I shook my head.

I noticed they shared a worried look, probably concerned about how green I looked.

"Come on, let's go." Chelsea said, leading me to the car. A beautiful, mint green tesla.

I was surprised when Rhea moved to sit at the back with me, instead of in front, pulling me in for an embrace as the car started.

Filled with so much gratitude that I didn't know how to repay, I let her hold me for as long as she could, falling asleep in her arms to the sound of the gentle purring of the engines. The next time I opened my eyes, it was to Rhea slightly nudging me awake.

"We are here."

"Thank you."I nodded, surprised when they got down from the car and walked me to the door.

Home sweet home, I thought sadly, watching as the two of them stood waiting for me to go inside.

"We'll just stay here to make sure you get in safely before we leave." Rhea said and I nodded, looking back at my house and wondering when this place stopped feeling like home.

I didn't want to be alone right now. I didn't want to be alone anymore.

"Would you like to come in?" I asked hesitantly, my heart in my mouth at my offer and when they nodded with a smile, a tear slipped down my cheek.

"We would love to." Rhea said and taking my hand, I led them inside.

Leading them up to my bedroom, I opened the door and it was when I entered, the two of them following after me that I realized that my room was still a mess. Bia and I had moved most of the stuff around after my house was raided but we had kept some things in a huge pile because she had been so excited about bringing me to that party and said we would continue later.

The later never came and I had not still heard from my best friend.

"I'm sorry. This place is a mess." I whispered, my eyes on the ground.

"Well, thankfully, there are three of us. Let's get started so that we can get something to eat afterwards." Rhea said, making my eyes widen in shock.

"Sounds like an excellent idea." Chelsea added and as they started helping me rearrange, I had just one thought.

Perhaps I was not as alone as I thought.
