“You look down on yourself, down on your life, down on those who are honest with you. The basic thing is to protect yourself; if you can't do it, you often put yourself in dangerous situations. If so, how do you qualify to be the pack's Luna?" His voice was crisp, expressionless.Those words made me feel disrespected; I raised my eyes. “But I said I didn't want to be Luna. I refused it often, but you keep forcing me, don't you?"Ryan let go of my chin; he licked the corner of his lips and laughed. “You say I forced you?”“I was just speaking my mind.” I insist. “From beginning to end, only you insist that I am your mate. Do you think I like that?”"You seem to like to oppose me, don't you?" Ryan doesn't have a unique expression, but it gives me chills, and I still have no intention of giving in. “You seem always to force me to do what you want? No, you are a noble Alpha, so you are dictatorial and always want others to obey you without resentment. But have you ever thought about how m

I held my cheek with one hand, and the other lifted the whip, strangling the wolf. My strength wasn't enough to knock it down; it squirmed and almost escaped.The other wolves wagged their tails as if mocking me; they didn't rush at me even though it was an excellent opportunity. Instead, they just stood aside to see my defeat.I smirked mockingly. “But unfortunately, this is an electric whip.” As soon as I finished speaking, the other wolf quickly fell to the ground; its whole body was covered by electricity, struggled, and then fainted.Upon witnessing that scene, the remaining wolves also became more defensive. They stared at the whip in my hand.I tilted my head. "Come here!"I think if they attack individually, it will be quick for me to pass the test. But things weren't simple; more than five wolves rushed at me.However, they were too slow for Evelyn or Ryan. I lowered myself and rolled on the ground, the wolves slamming their heads against each other and rolling over. I pursed

"Why?" I frowned."It's carved into a tree branch." Roger stared intently at the foliage. “Need me to read to you?”"Okay." I nodded.There is one thing to admit, Roger's voice is effortless to listen to, warm, and very gentle. “I have, you don't, you have, I don't have. You need I don't need; I need you to need too. I feel dry; I need your life; give it to me with all sincerity."After reading it, Roger frowned, unable to hide the displeasure on his face. “What does it say? What is needed and not needed, yes and no?"I was concentrating on thinking and was also irritated by Roger; he jumped to the ground and said. "It needs your life, you just kill yourself here, and you'll pass through the gate."“Can you be quiet for a moment?” I glared at him.Roger shrugged as if it was nothing serious; he boredly picked flowers and stacked them on each other, muttering to himself. “Wanting life, this tree is smart.”The first hour passed, and I still didn't know what this tree needed from me.Se

"It was a stupid decision." Evelyn couldn't keep her composure anymore. "Cancel it before it gets worse."I smiled a silly smile.Seeing that she couldn't stop me, she turned her eyes to Ryan. “Alpha, what do you say? Do you want her to go to war?”Ryan looks at me, eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he doesn't say anything.I looked at him, too, smiling slightly. “Alpha won't stop us because this is just a normal competition….” No one knew, and by the time I finished that sentence, my hands were already sweaty.Evelyn grimaced, worried to the point of choking. "It's all crazy; it's crazy..."Diana raised her eyebrows provocatively. "Come here and prove yourself a strong warrior. Don't be cowardly like a mouse that hides around."Her words didn't provoke me; I didn't want to shame my parents' reputation.As the battle was about to begin, I met Ryan's deep gaze, I couldn't see through his thoughts, but I think he, like Evelyn, thought I was a fool looking for death.The moment Diana and I

I wouldn't say I liked it, but I had to accept being sent to the dungeon in a state that couldn't be worse. I had to keep my clothes covered in blood and my body covered with wounds for a week.“Can't help but praise you; you are talented. You're the first person I've seen who can make Diana so out of control." My captor propped her hips and laughed as if she were very pleased with it. She gave me a thumbs up. "Good job! I have a different view of you.”I forced a smile at her.She looked outside. "Please bear with it; the light here is broken; I will have someone fix it soon." She turned her head, her eyes slightly apologetic. “How embarrassing!”I shook my head. "I'm okay."She tilted her head, smiled at me, and then went out, locking the door. "I'm right outside; if you need anything, just call me, and I'll be right there."I didn't have the strength to open my mouth anymore; I just nodded.Waiting for her to disappear, I tried to crawl into a corner and sit down. I bent my knees a
