My Alphas' Dark Desires novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: New Scandal

****************

Chapter 165

~Valerie’s POV~

If I had thought for even a second that the scandal circling my name would die down by morning, I was dead wrong.

I barely stepped past the front gates when the buzz hit me—hushed voices, wide eyes, phones being shoved in faces, girls whispering in corners and guys either gawking or pretending not to care.

Except... they weren’t looking at me anymore.

They were looking at her.

Titania Estrella Sage.

The Fae princess. High-cheekboned, perfect-skinned, silver-tongued royal who walked through PSA like she was too sacred to breathe the same air as the rest of us.

However, today, she looked like she’d been slapped by the gods.

Her eyes were glassy. Her stride uneven. And the moment they saw her, students leaned in to whisper just loud enough for her to hear.

"Did you see the video?"

"I heard she paid someone to leak Valerie’s clip."

"She called herself noble blood and look—caught trying to sabotage a matebond case?"

"Disgraceful."

"She’s gonna be expelled, right?"

"I heard she tried to sleep with one of the Heirs and got rejected. Twice."

"She also tried approaching the Killain Hier but he too did not pay her any heed. She’s been vengeful since I bet."

"I heard it’s been longer than that. She’s just jealous."

Each word sharpened like tiny arrows. I didn’t need to ask what happened. The guilt and venom on Titania’s face told me someone had just thrown her off her perfect pedestal—and hard.

And it had nothing to do with me.

But she didn’t care about logic. As soon as she saw me, that was all it took.

"You bitch!" Titania snapped, marching straight toward me like a storm with glitter. "You vile, scheming, insecure piece of nothing—this is your doing, isn’t it?!"

I blinked. "Excuse me?"

"You leaked that fake video! You humiliated me!"

Behind me, another round of whisper went on.

"She deserves it."

"She once called Valerie a mutt."

"Didn’t she say Valerie slept her way to the top?"

"She insulted Valerie yesterday before everyone knew she was mated to the alphas."

"Aish, lucky bitch. I wish I was the one," another girl saod, making eye contact with me.

"Metto. God, I want Alpha Kai."

"I want both Alpha Xade and Alpha Dristan then maybe Alpha Axel. Gosh, she is so lucky it makes me mad."

I shook my head internally. They could wish all they wanted, but actually living it... was hell.

"Kieran?!" My voice was laced with more irritation than shock.

He was leaning casually against the wall, like this wasn’t weird or unsettling at all. Tousled blond hair. Ice-blue eyes. A smirk played at the corner of his mouth that didn’t quite reach his eyes.

"Sorry for the surprise," he said in a low tone. "I figured we could talk without an audience."

I blinked at him. "You nearly gave me a heart attack. What the fuck do you want?"

"What I want is you, Valerie."

I held back teh need to scoof, laugh or curse and just shook my head. "You know what... you’re sick."

Without waiting for him to say more, I attempoted to leave but kieran’s hand rested on my left shoulder, pushing me back.

As easily as it would have been to twist his hand and pin it at his back was so tempting I had to restrain that urge.

"Fuck off."

"No, I meant what I said."

"As does having six mates. And as cute and tiresome that is, I do not need another rich wannabe trying his luck. So if you do not have something better to say, move the fuck out of my bloody way!"

I glared daggers straight at Kieran’s eyes, daring him to do much as disobey me when suddenly he fished out his phone from his pocket and held it up in my face.

The screen showed Titania.

Red-faced, screaming. A clip cut and spliced perfectly, ending with a blurred voice admitting she orchestrated a scandal.

My eyes widened a bit. "That’s... that’s what they posted?"

Kieran tucked the phone away and leaned in, his smirk widening. "What I posted. Now, was your earlier speech any way to thank your savior?"
