Chapter 28 The p
Olivia
All I could see was her evil smile as she talked about my parents and I lifted my hand to p her
again.
"Olivia!"
It was Josh''s yell that made me snap out of it. Helen was in front of me, holding her hand to her
cheek and sobbing softly.
I saw Josh a little behind her staring at me with an expression of shock mixed with horror on his
face.
I looked around to see everyone had gathered around us. The whispers and gasps made me
realize what I had just done.
I had just pped Helen. The Beta’s only daughter and a wolf higher in ranking than I was. I
covered my mouth with a shaking hand when I discovered that I had walked into her evil trap. She
intentionally provoked me because she knew everyone was watching.
Attacking another wolf, especially one with a higher ranking without provocation, was deemed a
serious offense by all packs.
That''s why she was whispering… so no one would be able to hear her over the roar of the ocean.
How will I prove that she provoked me by insulting my parents?
Just then I heard Helen''s soft sobs get louder. The triplets were among the people watching us. I
lifted my face and saw her walking off to meet the triplets.
“I was… only trying to talk to her about what had happened earlier at the museum. I don''t know why
she was so angry and had to p me.” She said amidst her sobs.
Mrs Pearson and Mr Scott came running towards us. Everyone was pointing at me, calling me all
sorts of names. Tina approached the teachers and seemed to be telling them what had happened.
Josh came over to me and grabbed my arms, drawing me closer to him and wrapping an arm
around me protectively.

“Get yourself together, Liv.”
“She set me up, Josh. She insulted my parents, I tried to ignore her but she wouldn''t stop talking.
She said… something… filthy and I couldn''t hold back anymore.” I whispered to him softly, still in
shock.
Just then Mr Scott shouted at me angrily.
“Why on earth did you p Helen?!” Mr Scott asked me.
“She… insulted my parents,” I replied stammering.
Mr Scott asked Helen toe closer. She left the triplets and came over to stand beside me, still
holding onto her cheek. At that very moment, I knew that she looked just like a victim while I
appeared as the viin.
“Is it true that you insulted Olivia’s parents?” Mr Scott asked her.
“Why would I do such a thing?” She said before turning to me, “Olivia, we both know that that''s not
what truly happened. Please tell them the truth?”
“You should be the one to tell everyone the truth, Helen. You said horrible things about my parents!”
I yelled angrily as Josh tried to hold me back.
“Quiet, Olivia. Why don’t you just admit that you are wrong?!” Lucas yelled out.
“I saw how Helen behaved towards you before you pped her. She was speaking calmly and you
pped her out of the blue.” He added.
“Did you hear what we were talking about? None of you did. Why are you all ming me? Why
would you believe her words over mine?!” I screamed at him.
“Enough, Olivia!” Mrs Pearson yelled out.
“You need to help yourself before we can help you. Tell us the truth now so that we won’t have to
take this issue to the pce.” She added.
Everyone looked at me as if I was the one at fault.
I shouldn''t even bother trying. They''ve all chosen to believe her over me, and honestly, I''m not
surprised at the way they treat me anymore. I thought it myself as my shoulders deted.
They all chose to believe Helen. I looked at Logan who was also staring at me. Before I could say
another word, he cut in, “Helen, Olivia won’t p you just because you wanted to talk. She is not
like that. Did you truly insult her parents?”
Everyone was surprised at his statement. Josh and I looked at each other, mirroring expressions of
shock on our faces. I looked at Helen to see that she had an expression of rage and distaste on her
face, one that she quickly masked before I could call anyone''s attention to it.
“Did he just defend me?” I thought to myself as l turned to look at Josh who was also looking at me
with a shocked expression written all over his face, like he couldn''t also believe what he had just
said.
“You weren''t even anywhere near here. I heard that you went to the bus to get some books. Why on
earth would you interfere in something you know nothing about?” Lucas said as he growled at
Logan.
Coming from someone who''s also doing the exact same thing.
Lucien also red at him without saying anything.
“I saw them screaming at each other when I wasing back from the bus.” He replied angrily.
It wasn''t true, Helen had been whispering but I knew he was only trying to defend me
“Did you hear what they were talking about?” Lucas asked him angrily.
“No, but they were both screaming at each other. This means that, unlike Helen as imed, they
were in a heated argument.” He replied.
“Enough. You didn’t hear them and you think Helen will stoop so low to engage in a fight with Olivia.
She is the Beta’s daughter, Logan.” Lucas yelled out.
“You guys shouldn’t fight each other because of us.” Helen said and then turned to me, “Olivia, if
you keep on lying, I won’t be able to help you. Please just tell the truth, I won''t do anything, I''ll let all
of this go, just please tell the truth. Tell them I was only trying to talk to you about what happened
earlier.”
I know what you''re trying to do, I thought. If I admit to pping you for no reason, then I''ll bebeled
the lying bitch who pped you because of the tour guide. You''ll be killing two birds with a stone,
incriminating both me and the innocent tour guide. Even if it means facing the Alpha, I won''t let you
get your way.
I smiled at her as I couldn’t believe my ears. I turned to Mrs Pearson, “I’m not at fault. Helen
insulted my parents and I pped her.”
“Alright, since there are no witnesses and you pped Helen, Olivia, you will have to apologize to
Helen right now.” Mrs Pearson said.
I was angry at everyone. Our teachers also wouldn''t believe me and they wanted me to apologize to
Helen. My heart burned with rage and sadness as I scanned everyone’s expressions. They were
staring at me like I was guilty and I hated every single one of them at that moment. Just then, my
eyes fell on Josh who was mouthing, “Go ahead and apologize” and pleading with his eyes.
I stopped trying to fight and gave in. I agreed to apologize, and as I turned to Helen, Lucas cut in.
"We have a recording of the scene.” He said as he held up a phone high for everyone to see.
I was happy that there was something to prove my innocence.
“Who recorded the scene?” Mr Scott asked Lucas.
“Trisha did,” Lucas said.
“What?!” I screamed.
I knew then it would be something that would only incriminate me further. Trisha was surely on
Helen''s side and they had probably manipted the so-called evidence. Lucas started ying the
video and increased the volume so we could all hear it clearly. Everyone’s attention was now on the
phone as they moved closer to watch the video of the scene. I was the only one who saw Helen’s
triumphant smile. She moved closer to me whispering, “I told you, you are no match for me. I will
request for the worst punishment for you.” She said smiling devilishly before walking off to watch the
video.
I stood still as I knew there was no way to prove my innocence. Josh also remained still where he
was standing. He was staring at me. He didn’t know what to do or say as he was also aware that
the video might have been tampered with.
Just then, Mrs Pearson came to me with the phone.
“Watch this and then prove yourself, Olivia.” She said angrily.
I took the phone from her to watch the video and as expected, I was the only one screaming at
Helen in the video. The footage did not show when she was whispering into my ears and smiling
devilishly. Whoever had recorded the scene had only recorded when I had yelled at Helen to shut
up. They must have paused the video in between because the next scene that yed was when I
pped Helen.
So the entire video was only of me yelling and then pping her.
Mr Scott sighed, "I guess we''re taking this to the pce."
