[Leona's P.O.V.]
Just as I felt that my collar was about to be torn, a sudden loud noise startled all the boys, and they stopped moving.
Someone kicked the door in from the outside!
It was a boy that I had never met before. His handsome face was well-defined, and his exposed forearms were strong and sturdy. It was obvious how muscular his body was under the white T-shirt.
Relying on my sharp sense of smell, I immediately noticed that he was also a werewolf, but he didn't belong to our Dark Moon Pack.
A werewolf from another pack? This made me wary.
Without waiting for me to think further, the strange boy had already pulled the fat boy away from my body.
"Idiot! What are you doing?" Fatty let out an ear-piercing scream. His voice sounded like that of a hysterical middle-aged woman.
His entire body was dragged to the ground clumsily. The strange boy pounced on him and punched him hard in the face.
"Ouch! Ouch!" Along with the screams, the fatty was quickly beaten to a pulp.
When the other boys saw this, not only did they not come forward to help, they even hid in the corner, their faces pale with fear.
"Quickly come and help me! Help me pull him away!"
Fatty asked his accomplices for help. They looked at each other and finally braced themselves to surround him.
Unexpectedly, the strange boy raised his head and bared his teeth at them. This made his rather handsome face look a little malevolent.
The few boys immediately withdrew their footsteps and fled from the storeroom in a panic.
When the strange boy stood up from Fatty's body, he had already become semi-unconscious.
At this moment, a female teacher wearing black-framed glasses with a sharp and unkind appearance appeared.
When she saw that Fatty had been beaten to a pulp, she called the strange boy and me to the office without saying a word.
She was furious. She was scolding this boy named Briar for hitting someone the entire time.
No matter how he explained himself, the female teacher remained unmoved and gave him a demerit.
"Then how should we deal with those boys who dragged her to the storeroom to bully her?" Briar pointed at me indignantly.
The female teacher adjusted her spectacles on her nose and looked at me with a sharp gaze. She said coldly, "She looks fine to me, doesn't she?"
"Say something!" Briar looked at me, hoping that I would be able to defend him.
However, I remained unmoved. Facing the female teacher's cold gaze, I only nodded numbly. "Yes, I'm fine."
Briar was stunned. He obviously didn't expect me to say this.
"Do you have anything else to say?" The female teacher looked at him contemptuously.
He blushed and lowered his head without saying anything. I could feel that he was mad.
But in my experience, it was useless to explain. Even if I were injured, no one would stand up for me. Since I was young, I had been bullied countless times, and no one had ever helped me.
Whether it was my father, the elders in the pack, or the teachers in the school, the way they looked at me was filled with disgust. In their mind, they also despised me.
This included this female teacher in front of me. From the moment I walked into the office with her, I had already seen through her thoughts.
She kept blaming me in her heart, 'You look so sl*tty. No wonder those brats targeted you. You deserve to be bullied!'
So, when a person disavows you from the bottom of their heart, what's the point of arguing with her?
Seeing that my attitude was so cold, Briar didn't say anything. He was forced to accept the outcome.
"Alright, the two of you can leave now. Don't let me see you causing trouble again!" The female teacher gave the order to leave. I turned around and left. Briar followed behind.
We walked in the long and narrow corridor one after another. I could feel his furious and burning gaze.
When we reached the stairway, he called out to me, "Stop right there!"
I didn't turn around. I continued walking forward as if I didn't hear anything. He caught up with me in large strides and grabbed my wrist to hold me back.
"Let go!" I struggled with all my might and gave him a fierce look.
In my view, he was no different from those boys who bullied me. Because... my mind-reading ability was useless against him!
Yes, from the moment I saw him, I realized that I couldn't see through his mind. This was the first time I had encountered such a situation.
Because I couldn't tell what he was thinking, I didn't dare to accept his help easily. Perhaps he was just like those stinky boys who only wanted to have sex with me.
"I won't let go!" He looked at me angrily.
"What do you want?" I asked calmly.
After all, he was a werewolf like me, and he looked older than me.
Perhaps he was already an adult and had already summoned the wolf in his body.
I wasn't even 18 yet, so I couldn't summon the wolf in my body. So if we were to really fight, I definitely wouldn't be a match for him.
"I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to ask why you didn't speak up for me. I clearly saved you!"
"So what?" I asked coldly, "Who knows if you'll want to torment me just like those guys?"
Briar found it absurd, "So that's what you think?"
"Why else would you save me?" I met his disappointed gaze.
