Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 14: Believe

SLAP.

"You son of a bitch! You were caught in bed with another man?" A raging female Gamma student has just slapped Skylar across the face in the middle of the dining hall of Ravenwood Academy.

Immediately, this caught everyone's attention while the Alpha boy was reeling from the unexpected slap.

"He was in heat, I didn't do it on purpose!" Skylar defended himself, baffled by her attitude. The whispers were off the charts as students were gossiping about this event as it unfolded.

"I don't care! My family will never accept our contract now! You ruined us!" She snarled at him, possessed by rage.

"Carla, I didn't do anything to him, I swear!" Skylar protested, feeling her rage and disappointment, not to mention the judging stares from all the other students.

"You shouldn't have gone to his room alone in the first place! Now everybody will be expecting his belly to grow and you to pay the fine. We are done, Stronghold!" She snarled, raging at him, storming out of the dining hall.

"Carla, wait! I swear I didn't do anything to him!" He tried to explain himself to her, to no avail. She looked properly enraged by this happening.

Great, that is just great! Now on top of having almost no prospects so far, I have lost my reputation and now all the students think I am pregnant with Skylar's child. Where did I go wrong? I cannot believe I am being punished for being an Omega in this day and age!

"I know it is hard to believe this, but I would appreciate it if people refrained from thinking I disgraced an innocent Omega boy. I swear on my life that I did not take advantage of his heat. I know this seems like an impossible task, but I was raised well." Skylar declared loudly to the entire student body present in the packed dining hall.

"I hope you know that I truly am sorry for everything. Please, don't let my mistake cost you the one that you want. I already lost my prospect, you shouldn't lose yours too." Skylar told Jayden who was sitting in the Alpha section not so far from him, he was taken aback by this. The blonde boy had tears in his eyes as he was misjudged by his peers. He looked heartbroken, genuinely.

Jayden remained silent, but he looked sorrowful. It is clear to see that he wasn't in a happy place. At my table in the Omega section, Seth was feeling bad for his brother. He might have done the wrong thing, but he did not act as horribly as people think he did.

At this point, there wasn't a single student here who didn't know I was the Omega in question. This was salacious gossip. After lunch, Ravenwood's head of security called me into his room to interview me about the events of last Sunday. He wanted to make sure I wasn't taken advantage of.

They take Omegas' safety very seriously here as it was attested by the academy's rules. I reaffirmed that despite the optics, I was not 'molested' by Skylar. However, I am not so sure if I will ever get my reputation back now that it has gone to the toilet. I might as well say goodbye to any chance I had to ever be claimed by anybody here in this academy.

I walked the halls with a giant scarlet letter, students whispering about me and looking at my belly like I was growing a little Stronghold in there. Goddess forbids people from actually believing the truth.

"Good evening, students. I called you here tonight to clarify something." Headmaster Lockwood summoned all the pupils to the auditorium this Wednesday evening, uncharacteristic of him. Somehow, I have the distinct impression that this is about me. And by me, I actually mean Skylar.
