I Was Not a Nobody (by Jojo) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 

August hadn’t expected me to treat him like air, as if he didn’t even exist. 

He watched the tender scene of the three of us, a true family, his eyes burning red with jealousy. 

Just as he tried to step closer to me, Darren moved in front of me protectively, glaring up at him. “Stay away from my mommy! “You actually had the nerve to ask her to be a caretaker? My mommy is a queen at home. Who do you think you are? 

“I know what you’ve done. You’re not just the jerk who broke her heart. You’ve even got a secret pup. My mommy only has me and my younger sister. Your pup doesn’t get to be part of her family. 

“A Beta like you aren’t even worthy of polishing my daddy’s shoes. You’re not as handsome, not as rich, and definitely not as good to my mommy.” 

Darren gave August a look of pure disgust, eyeing him from head to toe before stomping hard on his foot. 

“That jealous, twisted sneer on your face is disgusting. I don’t even know how you have the nerve to keep living in this world. What’s keeping you going? Your shamelessness?” 

The crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter. 

August clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling with the force of his humiliation. 

Everyone knew that he had only become a Beta because he’d earned the Alpha’s favor. But now, after offending Ryder, the lycan chairman, it was almost certain the Alpha would turn on him, too. Everything he had achieved could be gone in an instant. 

Hailey’s eyes were burning red with jealousy. She never imagined that one day I would end up marrying so well. She couldn’t 

accept that I was Ryder’s Luna. 

She had thought August only wanted me to be some lowly caretaker. But now, he wanted to throw her away, to choose me, even .to make her pup call me mom. 

Blinded by jealousy, Hailey snatched a fork from the table and charged at Darren in a frenzy. “You filthy little brat! How dare you look down on my pup? I’m going to kill you!” 

A sharp, searing pain tore through my back, and my face instantly went pale. 

“Darren, are you…” Before I could finish the sentence, my body collapsed to the ground. 

When Hailey lunged at Darren, I released Ryder’s hand and jumped to protect him, covering him with my body. 

As my consciousness started to slip away, I caught a fleeting glimpse of Darren’s face, filled with panic, his wide eyes brimming with tears. 

I tried to lift my hand to wipe them away. But in the next second, everything went black. 

As the strong scent of medicine filled my nose, I slowly opened my eyes. Looking down at the clean clothes I was now wearing, I felt disoriented for a moment. 

My best friend, Anna Campbell, was sitting nearby. The moment she saw me regaining consciousness, her face lit up with relief. “My dear, you’re finally awake. If you’d stayed unconscious any longer, those two devils of yours were about to tear this place apart.” 

Ryder and Darren always knew their limits. I wasn’t worried about that. 

Instead, my hand instinctively moved to my belly, anxiety flashing in my eyes as I looked at Anna. 

She understood immediately. “Don’t worry. You and the pup are both perfectly fine. You fainted from the shock and the pain from your wound, but there’s no serious harm.
