Chapter 2

Katherine's POV (age 12)

"Your highness we're here." Trevor spoke after about 15 minutes of being in the car.

"Trevor, I told you to stop calling me that." I groaned. I don't like when people i'm close to regard me so formally.

"Okay Kat. I'll do my best to reduce calling you 'your highness'" he smirked and I pouted.

"Close enough" I smiled "see you in a couple hours"

He nodded and got out of the car to open my door. I got out and waved goodbye before walking into torture.

I've never had the guts to tell my parents I get bullied in school but the only reason i've survived this long is because of lily.

Speaking of Lily, the brown haired trouble maker was by her locker getting her books. I walked over to her and tried to do the whole 'BOO!' thing which didn't work cause the girl didn't even flinch.

"That the best you got?" she smirked and I pouted.

"You're no fun" she was dressed in a grey sweater and black jeans with black converse. Some times I wish I was allowed to dress as freely as she did. But according to my mom, trousers aren't feminine. As the princess i'm supposed to dress ladylike.

"Did you hear about the dress fitting after school?" I asked her knowing how much she hates dresses.

"Indeed" she scowled. "I'm only going for you"

"Thanks, but its not going to be that bad" I tried to be optimistic.

"Needles repeatedly pricking your sides is not that bad?" she arched her brow then rolled her eyes. "So I heard Luther is in town" we were both walking to our first class which was Algebra.

"Ya, he is" I sighed "he's still the same only somehow cuter if that's even possible."

"Still think he hates you, huh?"

"I'm sure he does."

"Well i'm all out of ideas. Maybe its time you moved on from him. I mean, there are lots of other guys that would want to date you" she implied

"Really, like who?"

"Austin" and as if on cue, Austin appeared. We were already in class and he was by my side.

"Hey Kat" he greeted with his hand behind his head. Austin is more on the boy next door side.

"Hey Austin" I greeted back. I'm glad folks in school don't try any formalities with me. That would've been just so awkward for me.

"I was wondering if you would li-"

"Good morning class, everyone take your seat" the teacher cut Austin short.

"Talk to you later Austin" I said then walked to my seat.

"Right" then he walked to the other end of the class.

"Austin was totally asking you out" Lily has been yelling at me since we left class.

"No he wasn't and i'll never know what he wanted to say cause the teacher interrupted."

"Why are you so difficult Kat" she sighed as we walked to our lunch table with our trays.

I had a salad and a bottle of milk with a pack of grapes while Lily had a large steak with a bottle of coke.

As wolves, we're natural born carnivores but i'm only allowed to eat meat once in a while with permission from my parents. Other than that I'm as good as vegan.

Austin just walked into the cafeteria with the rest of his friends laughing and just being themselves. Is it actually possible that he could like me.

I'm really over thinking nowadays.

I excused myself from the table to get something from my locker when I bumped into Sasha.

"S-sorry, I d-didn't m-mean to" I stuttered knowing who I just hit.

"You bitch!" she yelled "you stepped on my new shoes"

"I'm sorry" Sasha is a year above me and she's one of the meanest girls in this school. One of my bullies.

"Just because your royalty doesn't mean you can do whatever you want bitch."

"I-"

"Stupid bitch. Your not even real royalty. You're adopted. You're supposed to be one of our slaves." she had and evil glint in her eyes when she saw a tear slide down my face. "Worthless piece of shit"

Tired of her insults, I turned and ran. Away from her, away from the school. I knew where I was running to. I knew it like the back of my hand. My special spot whenever i'm depressed.

My dress had a couple of tears by the time I reached the spot but I didn't care right now. I didn't care I didn't look decent. That was the least of my problems right now.

I fell to the floor beside a tree and let all the frustration out. I cried out everything I've been holding back. All the pain from the past years everything about Luther, about my parents.

After I had no more tears left, I felt weak to go anywhere and I fell asleep there.

"Kat!"

"Kat!"

"Kat"

"Mmmm" I moaned a response and I heard a sigh from above me.

"Are you alright?" that was lily speaking. And I nodded.

"Why did you leave school?" that was Trevor "are you hurt?"

"I'm fine Trevor. They're just a few cuts" I said referring to the cuts i got when running past branches.

He lifted me up and carried me bridal style to God knows where.

"We're going home to clean you up then we're heading to the tailors." he told me walking with Lily by our side. I gave him pleading eyes "don't worry, I won't tell your parents about this."

I sighed in relief and cuddled into his chest as we walked to the car.

I rushed into the house to have a bath and change clothes before anyone saw me. On my way, I bumped into Luther and fell back from impact.

My eyes had shut on their own accord and when I opened them, he was staring at me like I was some Alien species that had newly been discovered.

"W-what happened to you? Are you hurt?" he rushed out helping me stand up.

"I'm fine. There's nothing to worry about. No need to tell anyone about this. Bye" and I ran to my room shutting the door with unintended force.

That was close.

I rushed to the bathroom to wash off the blood and changed clothes. I wore a light pink dress with white shoes and brushed my hair into a bun.

I came out and went to the living room where Lily was patiently waiting.

"Good, lets go" she grinned "trevor is in the car"

I nodded and off we were to get fitted
