Out stepped Principal Vernon, along with the school counselor, Mr. Nelson.

Behind them was one more man—an alpha I’d never seen before.

"We have another unfortunate incident on our hands," Vernon said, his voice heavy. "And we need to find a solution. Let’s all go to my office for a discussion."

I nodded, as did Archer. Following behind them were two students, a teen sporting a bruise on his chin and the other trailing beside him. I suspected they were the bullies in question, Philip and Josef.

Seeing them in person for the first time, I nearly gasped in surprise. They were both alphas—already tall and well-built for their age, far more so than Igor, who had never set foot in a gym before meeting Archer. But these two? They looked like defense players, which made it all the more surprising that Igor had managed to take one of them down!

In total silence, we all headed to the principal’s office. It was large enough to hold all of us, with a few chairs for everyone to sit.

While we walked, I noticed Milo subtly gesture for Archer to check his phone, and Archer did. As soon as we sat down, I saw him glance at the screen, his fingers tapping at something.

"Mr. Monroe," Principal Vernon addressed me. "Your son assaulted Philip Glenn. This is his father, Arthur Glenn."

The alpha didn’t offer a handshake. Didn’t even look at us. Just stared straight at the principal.

Philip and Josef were dead silent, their eyes darting everywhere except in our direction.

"I think this situation has escalated to the point where we need to take serious action—" Vernon started.

That’s when Archer spoke up.

"Are we going to review the evidence of what happened?"

"Evidence?"

"The school has a pretty decent surveillance system."

The principal cleared his throat and glanced at Mr. Glenn. "Not all of those systems are fully functional… not every camera is always in use."

"Well, that’s a problem. Because, as far as I know, the law in our state requires a fully operational surveillance system. And I think it was active. Actually, I KNOW it was. The real question is whether we’ll have access to the footage."

"That’s not really relevant at this moment—"

"How is it not? It’s the starting point. But I get that obtaining those recordings might be an issue on your end. Which is why I have another source."

Archer stood up and walked over to the principal, showing him his phone.

"These are recordings that clearly show Igor’s interactions with his classmates. I think they make it pretty obvious who the instigator was."

Principal Vernon lowered his gaze to the screen.

"Philip Glenn and his friend repeatedly threw sexual slurs at Igor. They even wrote them on the classroom whiteboard."

Archer turned toward Mr. Glenn and held up his phone, displaying a photo of the board with the words:

"Igor - daily blow job $5, on Fridays: free."

The picture showed Philip laughing while writing it.

"Even though we reported this at our last meeting, it looks like nothing was actually done about it. And here’s today’s incident. As you can see, Igor wasn’t the one provoking anyone—he was just trying to leave the locker room."

Archer raised his hand again, playing a video where Igor was trying to squeeze past Josef, who blocked him with his arm.

I stared at Archer in shock, ready to part my legs right here in the middle of the room and let him fuck me. The gratitude I felt was unreal.

Archer let his gaze sweep across the room. "What was Igor supposed to do? Just stand there and let himself get beaten to a pulp again?"
