BULLIED TO BULLY

Maxwell's POV

Last night was the time for wolves to converge and transform under the full moon, both the aged wolves and the late bloomers. My parents belonged to a distant pack, and never permitted me to visit the pack. Hence, some people called me rogues which I hated to hear.

To prove them wrong, I joined in the challenge yesternight when the full moon showed, and it was the most embarrassing situation of my life.

Everyone transformed, their eyes having distinct colors and their wolves, different shapes unlike me. I didn't even emerge into any wolf. I kept screaming like someone about to invoke a spirit until I was sent away by the Alpha of the high school pack.

His name was Jude Daniel Morgan, the Alpha of Lakeside pack. It's the most dangerous pack in high school and since Jude was also a lecturer, no other pack dared challenge him in any way.

It was time to head out for class again, but I was still in my room, completely hesitantly about going today since yesterday was a mess. I had bragged about how cute my wolf would be, but moon goddess had chosen to disappoint me.

My parents once called themselves lone wolves which got me searching for what it meant. I realized lone wolves are werewolves who decided to leave their current pack for a specific reason.

I am Maxwell Lucas Jones, son of well-known Mr and Mrs. Jones. My parents were very wealthy and I never worried about any of my need but they seemed to start hating me when they realized I loved to explore the wolf world.

"I can't wait to get my mate," I had said to dad at a time and his response was curt.

"Being a wolf is being against the moon goddess. Don't you like the vampire girls? Because of blood, huh? They smell of blood but blood is life. They'll give you good life." He had replied.

"I am a werewolf and I will only have a wolf mate." I had said, but mum had chuckled softly.

"Let's see how it plays out." He had replied.

Since last night, I had been in my room, unable to come out and face them to tell them I didn't get a wolf but it seemed like the truth was going to be unveiled either ways.

"I told you," I suddenly heard, followed by loud giggles, from the living room.

I bolted away from my room and rushed to see mum happily in dad's arms. When they felt another presence, they turned to look at me.

"Maxwell, why are you not prepared yet? Pilate is waiting for you in the car." She said.

Assuming they didn't learn about my inability to shift nor did they ask about it, I turned to return to my room but their words suddenly halted me.

"We won't be driving both of you to school. There's a new driver that'll take you there. And I do hope you'll learn how to interact with wolves moving forward since you're not a legal one."

"I can explain." I said and turned to face them again.

"Shut it." She said and they both walked away from the living room.

Within a flash, I had gotten set for school. I met Pilate in the car and we were driven to school in a jiffy.

Pilate wasn't my brother as you all may think. He's a senior student that liked me very much. He's the only person I'd told about my inability to shift and he never took it out on me. My parents knew about his interest in me and permitted us to be friends.

As the car drove into the school compound, i could hear some low giggles and gossipis about me from the girls especially. Did they spread the news yet?

I remained in the car and noticed that students were many today unlike the previous days. Was there a meeting between packs? I could see girls from the Silver Creek Pack, Apex High a pack, Pine Ridge Pack, Redwood High Pack and the likes.

Pilate walked me down and we hurried towards the hallway when students suddenly blocked our way and began to mock me.

"Max-unwell," they said, changing the 'well' in my name.

"Take him to our meeting ground." The Beta of Apex High Pack said, but Pilate pushed them away and with speed, we hurried out of sight. Vampire girls started chasing us and soon caught up with us in a closed room.

"After all your claims to have a big bad wolf, where's it now? This is the very beginning of your torture. Let's see how you survive here. Mind you, we know you more than you know yourself and you can't withdraw from this college." She said.

The doorbell rang but Pilate signaled to them not to open the door.

"I'm sure it's the other packs coming for me," I said, my voice visibly shaking, "they want to make me their slave. But please don't open the door. I want to be free."

"Unfortunately you can't be free," the vampire girl called Susan said. She's also my grade mate and have heard about how I bluffed about getting a strong wolf.

"Pilate..." I slowly turned to him as the door was being banged forcefully.

"Maxwell, we shall need to see the strongest pack in this school which is the Lakeside pack." He said, gritting his teeth.

"Do you know what you're talking about, Pilate? Alpha Jude is the leader of the pack - recall how dangerous and vicious this man is."

"I know, but submitting to the minor packs won't help you, I'm telling you. They'll make mess of you. But I can speak with Jude." He retorted.

"When is that happening?" I asked, but he suddenly shuddered, slowly diverting my attention towards what caught his attention as well.

The door was wide open and the Alpha's of the other packs were coming for me. They were always on the lookout for weak wolves to turn them into slaves but I wasn't going to give in now.

One of them held a gun to Pilate's head while his subjects drove me out of the room.

Maxwell's POV

"Don't you wish to belong to a pack?"

It was the Silver Creek Alpha that had trapped me. I was handcuffed and bowing to the Alpha in their hideout, still in this high school's premises. I hoped nothing wrong had happened to Pilate.

"Not in this way, my lord." I replied the Alpha and heard the sound of blade swishing.

He took a few steps towards me and crouched. He turned his head slowly and asked, "then in what way?"

"I want to join a pack willingly. I don't want the Silver Creek Pack." I said, mustering more courage.

"Because we have more female wolves than male ones?" He asked again and rose to his feet. He turned to face all his wolves that gathered around us and began to speak.

"It seems Maxwell doesn't have a dick - that's why he stays away from women. I won't accept the fact that he's an introvert. As a normal rule, we always seize wolves that aren't able to shift under the f
