The cafeteria went silent for a second, but then the tension snapped, and the sound of loud laughter among the bully and his lackeys exploded around Earl.
He knew it wasn't the sound of genuine amusement, but rather the laughter of blatant mockery, which he had been quite used to by now.
"Did you all actually hear this punk?" The giant bully snorted while wiping a tear away from laughing until his heart's content, "He is demanding my apology…to an omega!"
Earl saw a glance at the injured omega boy lower his head even further on the floor, with his shoulders trembling from the mix of shame and guilt, as if he was genuinely regretting putting him in that difficult state.
His jaws tightened a bit, but Earl didn't avert his glare from that bully boy, with a glint of danger in his orbs that usually signaled a very bad day for someone.
