Jessica"What audacity," Lilian complained after Alessia left my chamber. I bit on my lower lips with an angry and cold look on my face. What's wrong with me? Why can't I talk back to her? Somehow, I feel like I'm beginning to feel intimidated by her presence. What has she done to me? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I clenched my fist as I stared at my shirt which she roughed. I'm angry at myself for being powerless when I'm close to her. I don't know what to do about her. "What's wrong with you, my lady? Why does it seem that you're weak whenever she's close to you?" She asked, and I growled. "I'm not weak," I said in a cold tone, finding it hard to believe that she was dominant over me. She disagreed. "I'm sorry if I may have offended you but I noticed it, my lady. You used to be fierce and dominant which means you were one of the most feared ladies in the pack but you appeared weak whenever she comes close to you,""I know you won't admit it but it's obviou
Alessia"Ahh… my leg hurts," I whined in pain as the nurse rubbed an ointment on my sore legs. I held onto Asher who patted my back constantly telling me that is going to be fine. "You'll be fine very soon," the nurse said, and I breathed out in relief. "Thank you. How many minutes would it take my legs to heal?" I asked, and she stared at me in disbelief. Maybe she was surprised by my question. But what's wrong with it?"I don't know about that. The doctor would come himself so he's going to tell you," she said, and I shook my head with a sigh. I feel she's lying but I didn't force it. She knew something about my condition but didn't want to tell me. She bandaged my legs, took the pieces of used cotton wool, and crashed them in the waste bin at the corner of the ward. "I'll take my leave," she said with a bow and walked away. "How are you feeling?" I turned to Asher, who stared at me with a surprised look on his face."Better," I said even though my legs were burning with excru
JessicaI bit on my lower lips angrily as I stared at the scoreboard. "The winner of the inner wolf connectivity is Alessia. She won the 1st contest of the 5 contests," I darted my gaze to Alessia who fell unconscious on the floor after she was called the winner of the contest. I glared at her lifeless body, hissed, and walked away with an angry look on my face. I barged into my room angrily with a cold look. "Ahh," I growled in an animalistic tone as I paced to and fro in my room. "The Alpha mate win Miss Jessica,""She claims to be brave but she couldn't defeat the Alpha mate,""She probably a wimp,"I growled out in an angry tone as I remembered the awful comment and remarks of the maid and pack members. Once again, Alessia has humiliated me not only in the presence of Asher but in the presence of the pack members and elders of the pack. That was exactly her threat. She promised to humiliate me in the presence of my pack member and she did."The Alpha mate win Miss Jessica,""S
Asher"The winner of the inner wolf connectivity is Alessia. She won the 1st contest of the 5 contests," I smiled in satisfaction as I listened to the announcement of the councilmen. They must be surprised that I made the councilmen be in charge of Luna's event. I did that on purpose because I'm aware of their plan to manipulate the results and make Jessica the Luna of the pack. I assigned a few of the councilmen to control the event because they have been loyal to me. I smiled as the pack member cheered happily after the announcement. It gladdened my heart that my mate won the contest despite the pain she's passing through. I love her courage and smartness. She didn't give up despite being injured. I could see the way she shot the arrow accurately even though her legs were shaking. She didn't let her bad condition stop her from winning. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at her with a smile on my face after hearing the announcement. The smile wiped from my lips as my ga
Asher"Lady…" she coughed out dark blood and fell unconscious on the floor. I rushed toward her. "Who sent you? Lady what?" I asked in a cold tone but she couldn't hear me anymore. I shook her body vigorously but she didn't make a move. I leaned closer to her and placed my finger gently beside her neck slightly above her jawbone. I let out an exasperated sigh and dropped my hand from her neck. I have just confirmed she's died. But why? Why does she have to die? It's quite unfortunate that she had to die when she was about to reveal to whoever forced or made her poison my mate's drink. I rose and turned my gaze to Alessia who looked scared. I walked closer to her and sat down on the bed beside her."What's wrong with you?" I asked. I placed my hand on her hair, and she pushed it away with a cold look on my face. "Do you expect me to be happy that someone wants me dead? Or do you want me to be happy that the maid died in my presence without giving us the details of the person who
Alessia"What's happening to me?" I asked myself, unable to fathom the reason why I couldn't feel my leg. I thought it was a joke until I couldn't move my limb. It was at that moment that I believed that I'd lost my legs. I whined as I tried to get up from the bed but I couldn't. My leg snapped and I fell weakly on the bed. Tears rolled down from my eyes when I realized that I couldn't move any of my legs anymore. "Ahh…" I screamed out at the top of my voice and ruffled my hair. What am I going to do? How am I going to recover from this pain? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I bit on my lower lips angrily until I felt the taste of cold metallic liquid hit my mouth. It was my blood. I shook my head with a sigh as I remembered Asher's statement which hit me very badly. I knew he was right. I shouldn't have gone to the contest but at the same time, I couldn't watch Jessica win over me. According to the doctor, I wouldn't be able to walk for the next few months
Asher"What's wrong?" I asked myself with a confused look on my face as I watched Alessia spring up on her feet and rush into the toilet. I squeezed my face as she made a sound that suggested that she was vomiting. I stood up from the bed and walked into the toilet in a hurry. By the time I reached the toilet, she was rinsing her mouth with the water from the running tap. She breathed out in relief and turned to me. "What's wrong with you?" I asked with a confused look on my face as I stretched a white towel for her to wipe the little stain on her mouth. "Thanks," she muttered as she collected the white towel from me and wiped her lips. She let out an exasperated sigh and threw the short towel. I leaned closer to her and wrapped my hand around her waist. She didn't bother to pull my hand away from her waist, instead, she stood still. I stayed closer to her till my warm breath fell against her neck. She stiffened under my touch. I smiled, happy by the effect I had on her. She aff
Alessia"I don't care or give a damn about whoever you take to the ballroom," I said, and he arched his eyebrows. "Are you sure?" He asked with a smirk on his face, and I nodded my head in agreement. "Of course, I'm," I replied coldly. "If then you're not angry or jealous, why do you choose to threaten me earlier?" He asked, and I laughed. "Does that sound like a threat to you?" I asked as I stared at him in disbelief. I was pulling his legs. I didn't mean to sound like that to him. Truly, I was angry that he was doubting if he should take me to the banquet but again I feel he should be careful with his choice because his girlfriend is a cunning and mischievous person. "Of course it does. Or are you trying to pull my legs earlier?" He asked in realization, and I burst into laughter. It's quite funny for him to think I'll be angry at him because of that. "To be sincere, I don't care about who you choose to go with you to the ballroom celebration but I want you to choose wisely
