Chapter 62Alexa's POV“Good, we have a deal. Send someone to inform me of the time and location,” I reply with a smile, turning around to leave.“What about me? What prize do I get?” she asks, obviously still upset about my condition.“If you win, you get the title of Luna, right? What other prize is bigger than that?” I answer, walking towards my chambers without stopping or turning around.“Alexa,” I heard Ace's voice call out urgently. I halt without turning around. I know he's here to talk me out of this. He walks and stops in front of me.“Lexa, what are you trying to do? Do you have a death wish?” he said angrily. I have never seen an angry Ace before.“I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry,” I reply with a smile, trying to pacify his anger. He has never been angry with me before. I've always ever seen him smile, and I don't feel comfortable seeing him like this.“Like hell you do. Why do you care so much about a position that is not even worth it? Do you know how ruth

Chapter 64Amelie's POVHe turns around to see me hurrying after him, he must have heard my footsteps. I adjust my gown and my hair. He ignores me and continues to walk.“Ace, wait up,” I yell and he stops.“Good morning, did you sleep well?” I ask, finally catching up to him and smiling widely.“What is it?” he grumbles impatiently.“Won't you respond or at least ask me if I slept well too?” I ask, purposely touching my neck, so he could look at me properly. But he kept staring at my face nonchalantly.“Is there something wrong? Did I do anything to upset you?” I ask sweetly. I can see his jaw tick in anger.“You sure you don't know what you did?” he inquires, trying to control his anger. “I don't want to see your face for another minute because I don't know what I might do,” he continues, turning around to walk away.“Wait,” I gently called out, grabbing his arm. He suddenly grabs my arms and pins them behind me with one of his hands.“Don't touch me. You should leave now while I'm

Chapter 66Amelie's POVI pace around my chambers, starting to get antsy. I was lucky I was able to get away from Alexa and those pack members before my symptoms kicked in. I get angry again when I think about that maid. I should have just killed her right there. I'm going through this pain right now because of her. I start to roughly take off my clothes. I feel itchy and sweaty. I rushed to take a bath, the pain I'm feeling was unbearable, but I could not scream for fear of anyone asking me what was wrong. The cool water calms my aching joints a little but did nothing to calm my inner fire. I run out and quickly gulp down a glass of water to soothe my aching throat. I threw the cup away in a fit of rage. It didn't help at all, nothing seems to be working. I peer out of the window and everywhere is still bright and bustling with activities. I can't afford to go out now, or else people will see me. I have to wait until dark. Just the thought of enduring this pain until dark brings tea

Chapter 68Alpha Kai's POV“This is absurd,” I mutter, pacing around. We have all gathered outside the pack house.“Take a seat, Kai,” Ace said, looking straight ahead at the clearing where the duel was going to take place.“Don't you think this is wrong? She's going to die. We've all gathered around to witness that,” I reply, taking a seat beside Ace.“Let's have faith in Lexa. If she says she knows what she's doing, let's trust she does,” he said. I stare at him unbelievably. Does she know what she's doing? Alexa? Someone who can't even shift or have any war experience is about to have a duel with a wolf who is experienced. The only way I see this ending today is her being torn to shreds.“This is going to end in a bloodbath. I can't just sit here and watch a member of my pack die,” I insist.“There's nothing that can be done again, Alpha and why do you look so stressed?” the chief replies, giving me a wary look.“I'm not stressed,” I answer.“Why am I finding it hard to believe you

Chapter 70Ace's POVI couldn't believe my eyes. Alexa really won. She won against an experienced werewolf.“What just happened?” Kai asks in disbelief. He stares at Alexa, dumbfounded.“I told you we could trust her,” I reply proudly. The Alexa I just watched is not the one I trained. She could easily defeat me with those skills she just displayed. I wonder where she learned it from because I wasn't the one who taught her. I knew she was a natural the first time she held a sword, but what we all just watched is unfathomable. She looked so fierce and dangerous on the field. I knew she was going to spare Amelie and not kill her. That's the kind of person she is, innocent and kind.Kai and I both walk to the clearing and Alexa smiles widely when she sees me, and my heart beats wildly in my chest.“Ace, did you see that? I told you I knew what I was doing,” she gloats, smiling proudly.“You are gloating now,” I reply with a chuckle.“Of course, I'm allowed to gloat. I know I did well,” s
