Chapter-9 Ten Folds

These days, Angelina heard quite many rumors about her mate's betrayal. It was that Kivvi's childhood sweetheart had been back, and now they are back together. And originally how Angelina was the third party, and she broke them apart.

All these rumours started by one person, Jessica. She wished everyone to know that she has her eyes on Kivvi, and no one can take him away from her!

Well, there were a lot of rumors about Angelina's husband's affair, that she was sickened by it. She wondered what had happened, for there to be ocean of rumours, but she pretended not to care. Whom he cheated with, wasn't her concern. However, her mind was in a mess with all of them blabbering the same nonsense behind her ears every day. She couldn't understand them at all.

What was the reason for them to blabber the same century-old rumours again and again? On the other hand, some wolves would pity her, some would try to make her feel embarrassed, angry, and sad. But all of these felt dumb for her. Why are they so interested in gossips, anyway? She didn't wish to crave all this gossip, which was unexpectedly taking a toll on her mood.

He was just her nominal second-chance mate, who may have also caused her harm. There was no reason for her to feel pain because of him. She consoled herself with strong and flowery words for herself, and locked her feelings up in her heart.

Well, today she was finally going to meet the spotlight of the rumors, Jessica while she would ve serving the drinks to the elders.

Jessica's eyes were shooting daggers at her, and she didn't bother to hide her resentment and anger toward her. She was going to place the coffee for her when Jessica put her leg forward, and pushed her down.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you." She laughed, behaving innocently. Angelina's hand got scalded because of the hot coffee. She continued, "You are so thin, and pale, wearing these rags, how could I notice you?" She complained. Angelina took a deep breath and calmed down. She can't scream at her, having a low identity.

"Are you okay?" Kivvi said, running towards Angelina. He held her hand gently and started blowing it. She quickly took her hands off his hands.

"You don't have to worry, I am okay," Angelina said, coldly. He sighed and turned his gaze at Jessica.

"Jessica, you still haven't given up yet! Why are you now bothering my mate? Wasn't it enough to trouble me? Now, you have to bother my mate too! Aren't you going too far? Do you know that she got burnt by the hot coffee? Do you wish to feel the same pain?" Kivvi blurted out, in anger.

Angelina looked at him in disbelief. She thought to herself, 'Weren't they childhood sweethearts and were dating behind her back? Was it all just a rumor?' It strangely made her kind of, a bit relieved, knowing that it was all just some rumours. Angelina shook her head off, and put her thoughts out straight. It wasn't the time to clarify that.

It would do her no good to seek any attention. She was not here to avenge Jessica, but to take her revenge! So, Angelina needed to keep a low profile.

"Don't bother, I don't need your help. I am used to it, and she didn't mean it. There's no need to bother you. I am good." Angelina said, calmly.

Kivvi glared at her, angrily.

"Yes, she has thick skin. She wouldn't get hurt." Jessica laughed.

Kivvi was going to refute her, but Angelina stopped him.

"You! You don't even care to get any help now! Do you hate ne so much?" Kivvi growled at Angelina, before rushing out of the door in anger.

Jessica thought, 'Who does she think she is? She actually asked Kivvi to spare me! Pretending to be kind? Because of her, I was so embarrassed by Kivvi, and he even protected this bitch!' 

Jessica was angered by the situation, though she made Angelina embarrassed, but she didn't like the fact that she was actually embarrassed by Kivvi, all just because of a slave girl named, Angelina! She stomped her way out, as they both left the scene. She had no time to waste, if Kivvi wasn't there.

Just like her luck, Jessica met that bitch girl again and it was even in the forest! She looked at her surroundings, and there was no one. She smiled at how the heavens favored her! It was the perfect time to vent her anger out! 'Let me see how she would beg me on her knees to let go of her!' she laughed, imagining the scene.

Jessica was excited to punish her for seducing Kivvi. She slowly approached her, keeping in mind that she was going to give her a lesson. It would even be better if she was dead, that way it would be less troublesome for her. 

'She should understand that the things and persons I want, none could take them away from me. As a lesson, I should disfigure her face, and paralyze her. Let me see, how could she continue seducing Kivvi? If she still didn't stop seducing him, I would just take my fun, torturing her slowly and slowly until she is dead. It would be better to make her life a living death than kill her swiftly, without making her feel the pain!' she quickly thought up some ways for a quick torture.

"Hey, bitch!" Jessica called Angelina out from behind. She glanced at her with suspicious and shocked eyes. Without wasting a breath on Angelina, she slapped her directly. Angelina touched her face and looked at Jessica in disbelief. Her eyes were looking at her directly, and made her more enraged, and she wished to bully her more.

Jessica, looking at her, she really had a seductive appearance. However, her dress was ragged and she was covered in dirt from working in the kitchen. Did she even look at herself in the mirror? 

"At what point, did she think she could steal Kivvi away from me?" she murmured.

"Miss Jessica, is anything the matter that you came to me for?" Angelina asked, glancing at me puzzled. 

Jessica gritted, 'Does she really not know or is she pretending not to know what she has done?'

She scorned, "Stop looking at me pitifully, like that. I am a girl, and I only have an interest in men! Even if you look at me like that, I won't be seduced!"

Angelina laughed cheekily, "When did I ever seduce someone? I don't care to seduce someone at all!"

"You- Let me teach you a lesson!" Jessica growled.

She approached her closer and backed her to the tree. "Let me see where you can run!"

She whispered, "I don't plan on running away, anyways. If you are pleased after beating me and stay out of my life, that would be better for me!"

'Why does she not beg, but continue to irritate me even more?' Jessica couldn't understand. She only knew that she hated her guts! She was just a cheeky person, how could she win Kivvi's heart in just a few weeks, when she had been chasing him for years?

Jessica punched her in the stomach, without letting her talk anymore, "Let me see what you can brag about now! This punch is for having wild dreams about the person I want!"

Jessica punched her in her stomach again. This time, it was slightly more powerful than the previous one. "This punch is for behaving disrespectfully to me!"

"This punch is for-" Jessica was going to beat her in the stomach again, but Angelina glared coldly at her, this time. Her hands and legs were numb, with her cold expression. Fear installed into her, she didn't seem like the weak girl, she was bullying anymore. It felt like she was now a different person. Jessica backed away from her, in fear.

She wiped the blood from her lips and stood straight. She slowly approached Jessica, "Why are you backing away, now? Weren't you going to teach me a lesson? Are you done now, Miss Jessica?"

Though she was being respectful towards Jessica, she couldn't help but get chilled by her words more. The words, 'Miss Jessica', rang in my ears. How could she be afraid of a slave girl? Who was she really?

Her thoughts got interrupted, as she continued, "You are done now, right?" She raised her brows.

"I- I… Yes…" Jessica agreed, unconsciously.

"Then, let me start now." She said while punching at Jessica hard. She was going to defend herself, but she was too quick for me to stop. Her bones were cracking with the sudden pain, and she couldn't help but throw up. Her punches seemed to be nothing compared with one of her punches.

"You- you!" Jessica tried to gather up my strength to fight back.

She refuted coldly, "Let me tell you, Jessica. I am not interested in Kivvi at all! And it's not my business about your relationship with him! Remember it, don't ever come to bother me for these trifles which have nothing to do with me, it's really annoying! Do you know? Keep out of my business from now on."

Angelina left, without helping Jessica out and even torturing her, turning a blind eye to it. 

'So, she had always been just pretending to be meek and timid! Good for you, Angelina! I will let everyone know of your true face! You are just trying to climb up to Kivvi's bed, by pretending to be meek and gentle!' Jessica swore.

"Jessica!" A voice called out from behind. She looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Mike. 

'Yeah, him. He would definitely listen to her!'

"Help me out, Mike," Jessica said, seductively. She knew, all men love to be teased, and it was nothing different for him.

"Who did this to you?" He growled, "With your power and status, no one would dare to do this to you!"

Jessica put her hands on her chest and hugged him closer. She pinched her arms, to let out a few teardrops, "It was done by that bitch, Angelina! She pretended to be meek, believe me! She beat me!"

Mike suddenly pulled out from me, and laughed, "Stop pretending. Angelina did this? You ask me to believe this? You have lost your mind over jealousy! She couldn't even kill a fly with her low powers! She is as good as a human with her slight powers, and you ask me to believe she injured you like this? You must be joking!"

Jessica pulled herself out from him, and continued, "Believe me, Mike! I am telling the truth!"

"Now, now, Enough of this! Don't pretend anymore, I know you very well! It has been a long time since we had a night together, let's have fun today, shall we?" He said while wrapping his arms around her shoulders. 

Jessica jerked his hands off, and replied coldly, "I am not interested!"

Mike scorned, "Don't behave so innocently, when you have almost slept with every male wolf from the pack, except Kivvi!"

'How dare he mention Kivvi! One day, I will let everyone know that the things and persons I want, no one can take them away from me!' Jessica gritted.

She gathered her strength and walked forward to the pack house. 

'This Angelina isn't that simple. For today's humiliation, I will pay her back ten folds of it! I will gather proof that she is by Kivvi's side with ulterior motives! Let me see, how does he protect you and care for you at that time! I won't let you go so easily!' she promised to herself.

Angelina messed up big this time. Originally, she thought to let Jessica vent her anger on her so that she could live peacefully in the pack, without drawing too much attention.

She couldn't risk getting her identity and her reason for visiting here be found out by them. However, when she mentioned Kivvi's name, she didn't know but a surge of emotions rushed through her.

She wasn't sure what was happening, all she knew was that she wished to pay her back. And the next moment, she lost her cool! Was it her wolf instincts? It must have been otherwise, why would she make such a silly mistake like this?

From this moment on, she needed to be more careful than she was before. Jessica must have been keeping her eyes on her more often and trying to frame her up. She can't dare to fall for the traps, and she also can't use her superpowers so easily.
