Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 27

"Everybody,

run!"

Panic spread like wildfire throughout the school as the alarm blared, warning of us approaching monsters again. The students ran in all directions, seeking shelter and safety. Renee and I exchanged a worried glance before we sprinted towards the nearest classroom. Nah. I limped with an arm around Renée. She was strong enough to support the both of us.

I had totally forgotten I was bait and deliberately sprayed Scentless spray on my body to hide my scent! Luckily for us there was an open classroom door. I and Renée bounced inside and tried to shut the door after us. Well, we weren't the only ones who entered the classroom as other students joined us like the last time.

Before the last person could shut the door, Kyle and Zeke caught it with their foot and they both entered smoothly, locking it after them. We all gathered at the glassy surface of the door trying to see what others were doing. There was pandemonium everywhere. We could all see Mrs. Lau in the distance, hurriedly ushering some students inside the maintenance hall.

I sighed, leaving the crowd at the door to check the windows. From the window, I could see the horrifying sight outside. The Blood Moon pack's monstrous creatures, larger than any wolves we had ever seen, were rampaging through the school grounds. Their eyes glowed red with a terrifying hunger, and their sharp fangs glistened in the sunlight. I clutched the scentless spray tightly, hoping it would somehow mask my scent enough to keep me safe.

I turned back to the crowd at the door, surprised to see that Kyle and Zeke were behind me.

"We were looking for you." Zeke's face was filled with confusion as he sniffed the air. I subtly shoved the Scentless spray aside. His sharp green eyes caught the movement. Or rather Kyle saw me doing so first.

"What the f**k?" He yelled in anger before grabbing the spray can from my hands. His loud voice caught the attention of some of the students. While some of them thought it was wise to stare outside, the foolish ones turned to look at the drama unfolding behind them. The drama in which I was the main character.

"Oh, is that Scentless spray I see there?" Brooke, which I didn't see earlier eyed me up and down. I saw something else in her eyes. Fear. She was afraid that I was going to take Kyle away from her with my seductive heat.

"Open your eyes people! There are monsters outside. I know we are f*****g wolves, but this is worse than the last time." It was all in my head.

"What are you doing with this?"

"I knew it! Planning to escape alone, Brawn?" Darren's angry voice made me sigh. Like I said, today wasn't my day. Besides who put my bullies in one place?

"She probably broke her body while running away." Someone added and they all giggled, mocking me.

Kyle was still looking at the spray can with anger. "Never spray this again."

That caused me to raise an eyebrow at his bold order. "And who are you to order me around?"

"Ohhh... Brawn has got balls." Brooke began to snicker as everyone. I tried to snatch the can back, but he just raised it higher.

"Give it back!"

"Trying to escape from being a bait? Well the monsters are here and they are attracted to you. We are going to give them what they want." Kyle said angrily. He ignored his brother's warning hands on his shoulders. I remembered my encounter with the monster in the class earlier and realized that my scent might have attracted them.

"Wh-what are you trying to say?"

"You can't take her outside." Renee said, her voice firm despite her fear.

Kyle rolled his eyes. "Obviously, but we have a plan."

"It's my fault. They must have sensed my scent," I admitted, my voice trembling. "But that was not the reason why I used the Scentless spray. It- it was because..." I couldn't look at their faces. Maybe it was best if I did it. Yeah. Be the bait.

Outside, fights reigned as the monstrous creatures broke through windows and doors, seeking their prey. Probably me. The whole school must have known this by now. The question was why. Their howls echoed through the corridors, sending shivers down my spine. I peered out through a gap between Kyle and Zeke, through the glassy surface, hoping it wasn't the monster again.

"Look, it's the Alpha!" Darren pointed with shaky hands. I've always known he was a wimp and a bigger bully given his size. We all turned to the window to see Alpha storm's black wolf, Storm tearing into the monsters. His presence seemed to deter some of the monsters from attacking the students directly. I watched in awe as he bravely defended the school, fighting to keep the creatures away from the vulnerable students. The rest of the teachers were out there, fighting.

We all started to cheer, drawing the attention of the monsters. Bad idea. Some of them looked up, leaving the battlefield towards us. Oh, they were probably climbing the staircase right now.

"s**t! They are coming to us!" Brooke panicked, running behind Kyle who wasn't ready to cover her. His attention was still focused on the outside even as loud bangs startled everyone of us. I flinched at the loud growls and noises.

"What are those things and what do they want with us?" A girl with a hoodie began to yell and cry. Then she turned her tear stricken face to me. "You were supposed to be bait. It's you they want. Why is it that you are here?"

I scoffed. "You came in here didn't you? Nobody forced you. Beside you were among the people who cheered for the alpha. Your noise drawed them here, not my scent."

Darren started advancing towards me in anger. Then he paused after Zeke gave a low growl. Maybe something transpired between them the last time I checked.

To my surprise, as they argued, I spotted Marley's gray, large and majestic wolf looking determined and focused as she tore into thick scaly thighs and fur. Instead of running away from the danger, she ran towards it. I didn't know Marley to be a fighter. I guess she deserved the name, Luna more than being my mother.

She leaped into action with the Alpha, attacking monsters with fire in her eyes. Their fur filled her muzzle and she spat some of them out. It was the first time I had seen them in their wolf forms, and they were breathtaking. Alpha Storm's wolf in particular. I guess Zeke's wolf color must be from his mother's. Kyle's wolf was just like his father except his fur was a tad bit darker.

Great. Now I am analyzing wolf colors before I am being thrown out to the wolves. The irony of it all.

"You are coming with me." Kyle grabbed me by the arm, dragging me towards the door.

"No! They are out there, fighting for us. I can't be the bait anymore."

He wasn't even listening. "Maybe if you go out, nothing will happen to the Alpha just like in my dreams."

"Don't be ridiculous. Nothing is going to happen. What do you think I could possibly do outside? They will rip me apart!" I tried to reason with him because it seemed nobody had the balls to stop him. Even Zeke was calmly watching Kyle drag me to my death! "That's better than my dad."

I yanked my hands back and surprised he dropped it. "What makes you think I brought those things here?" I turned to everyone. "What is wrong with you guys..."

"Everyone come and see!"

We all rushed to the window again only to see a sight that nearly caused me to faint.

"I can't believe it," Renee whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.

We listened to the sounds of the fight, the snarls and roars mixing with terrified cries from others in the school.

The alarm didn't stop blaring. It was all noisy as we watched Alpha storm try to pry thirteen monsters off his back, legs and hands whilst protecting his vulnerable neck. Our eyes went wide at each level of horror we saw.

He pried off about five of them before one of them scratched his muzzle with his claws like that of a cutlass. Alpha Storm recovered quickly, but the blood pouring out of it made me dizzy. He quickly tore into the rogue one. Six more latched on to him and we all screamed in terror.

"Dad." I heard Kyle whisper in pain.

Zeke's face was expressionless as he watched the whole fight, occasionally blinking to show me he was alive and watching.

I turned just in time to see a big brown wolf run straight for his neck. It attached its teeth tightly to Alpha storm's neck. So tight.
