(Alpha Zack's Pov)Eliana's voice was not quiet when she said her last words. Her voice reeked disgust and she stared resentfully at the lady she called Doris. Doris made a glance toward our table as Eliana said those words. She turned back and ignored me.I looked at the guy beside her and discovered it was Xavier. "Is that not Xavier?" I asked as I turned my attention to my daughter."Do you know him, dad?""I don't know him so much on a personal level, but I know who he is. He is the neglected youngest son of the werewolf king. He was an illegitimate son, so the king never loved him and he also never appeared in public. Just a few people know his identity but it was said that he became different after he was seriously injured and almost died a long time ago. He became a blood wolf and his brother Liam is also very good. He was a blood wolf a long time ago."I cleared my throat and smiled as I continued. "If you like them, I can introduce you to the two princes. You are so good that
(Doris' Pov)I picked up the phone from the table and answered the first elder's call."Hello, Doris." He greeted me immediately."Hello to you too, old one.""Let me just go straight to the reason for my call. I discovered that I have not informed you yet about the banquet, so I called to invite you to your installation dinner.""It's my pleasure, so I'll be there. Thank you for the invite." I warmly appreciate it. I quickly glanced at Eliana, and a thought came into my mind. "Hold on for a little moment, old one. Don't hang up." Without hanging up, I dropped my phone on the table and stared at Eliana."Repeat all that you just said to me, Eliana," I ordered her with a glare.Eliana and her father looked nervous as they kept staring at each other since the call came in. They murmured a little words to themselves and Eliana turned quickly to look at me with a scowl on her face."Don't you think it's quite embarrassing that you are not only a low-life unknown seducer, but also a cheap
(Doris' Pov)I knew who sent the invitation letter, so I took the letter and kept the box aside. I went outside immediately and took an Uber to the hotel where the banquet would take place.We arrived at the hotel and I paid the Uber driver his money immediately. I went straight into the hotel lobby and saw a lot of people who were hanging around in groups of twos and more, talking to one another.Several of them were discussing who the mysterious new elder was, as expected. They were not informed of the identity of the new elder, so all they could do was wonder who may be the person.I felt a gaze on me as I turned around to see a guy who fixed his gaze on me and kept a curious look on his face. He furrowed his brows and mumbled something like he was trying to recognize my face. "Your face is so unfamiliar." He muttered as he kept staring at me.I turned around, ignoring him as I walked to meet a waiter who I believed to be the one assigned to check invitation letters. I greeted him
(Eliana's Pov)I was harshly slapped away to a table filled with different types of food and fell with a thud, which made me wince in pain.Everyone in the banquet screamed immediately at what just happened as they began to run away to nowhere exactly, just running around the hall. I looked at myself and saw that I was fully stained and covered with food.As the guests ran, some of them accidentally stepped on my clothes, adding to the humiliating situation I found myself in, as my clothes became dirtier with marched stains of food all over. I was extremely embarrassed with the whole thing, that I just laid there on the floor and didn't bother to stand up.Jackson hurriedly came to lift me from the ground when he saw that many people were stepping on my dress. "I'm so sorry this happened. You should get up immediately to avoid any further harm." He said as he took my hands and pulled me up gently.After he lifted me, I shamefully glanced at Doris and the realization struck me. It was
(Eliana's Pov)I felt humiliated and the embarrassment I faced could only increase when Xavier decided to speak like this to me in front of many who held me in high esteem. I felt really sad with the way he talked to me and after all that I did for him to reciprocate his likeness for me.My eyes were saddened with hurtful emotions as I stared at him. "I know that I did so much for you, I liked you so much and hoped you would do the same. But you rather choose to offend so many people for a despicable woman like Doris and embarrass yourself in front of everyone here." I shook my head and quickly glanced at Barron and then back to Xavier."I will only be insulting myself if I still choose you after all these humiliations. I will instead choose your brother, Barron." I sighed as I caught the sudden lift of expression from Barron who was beside Xavier.Barron's happiness could not be any less obvious as his body was all over the place, beaming with smiles when I chose him. I knew he had a
(Eliana's Pov)Everyone was stunned after the first elder spoke. They kept looking at each other, wondering what he meant with their murmurs and mumblings."Is her identity really that extraordinary?""What can we say? The first elder comes in and recognizes her, what else should we expect?"I felt a little panic at the first elder's words. The tone in which he spoke left me tensed as to what he was about to say.The first elder looked around and cleared his throat. "The new elder would return to the battlefield soon after a break. If she had been here and had appeared in front of everyone, she would become a target to the hostile forces that may be close. This made her unable to attend but she sent her confidant, Miss Doris to replace her and attend the available events." He concluded."She must be that important to be the new elder's confidant." Someone said and the others nodded in understanding.Everyone understood all that the elder had said but I didn't want to believe it. If Do
(Doris' Pov)It was as if the first elder could hear what I said in my mind because he looked at me with a faint smile and leaned closer beside me."I know you may be thinking that you were not aware of this but I want to assure you that this is definitely for the better. Sorry that I didn't inform you earlier on but I just wanted to say it in front of everyone here so you would be given the respect that you deserve." He spoke in a low voice that I was certain only the both of us could hear what was said."I just hoped that you could train a group of people who may take over your position in the future. Now that you are the only Goddess of War in the werewolf kingdom, if one day we happen to lose you, I can't even imagine what would happen after that." He tapped my shoulder lightly as he reassured me.I nodded my head in understanding. "You are the right old one, and I understand what it means." I sighed and closed my eyes briefly before opening them and turning my attention to the ot
(Doris' Pov)"Are you still thinking about what was said back there?" I asked him quietly."Of course!" He voiced out coldly. "Why won't I think about it and why won't I be angry? They recommended themselves and their sons to you, telling you how handsome they are and how good their bodies are, blah blah blah. All they did right in front, not minding if I'm affected or not." He gritted his teeth harshly as he ranted in anger."Those were offences to me and I could punish them if I wanted." He breathed hard as he tried to calm himself down.I pulled into a quick and comforting hug. After I pulled out of the hug and held his hands. "I like you and only you. I won't look at anyone or like any man that is not you." I assured him."You will promise me that you won't be alone with any man during the training."After he said that, his eyes turned blood red immediately. I thought that he had lost control of his emotional state as that was not normal for an ordinary werewolf. I quickly stepped
