**Alpha Cedric's POV** Estelle stumbled while accompanying me reading in the library. I wanted her to nag at me and I was going to do the same. I would show her that she was wrong to play with fire with me, she was wrong to smile so wide just because of a handsome young trainer. I was not jealous, not at all. I was just annoyed that she forgets her wishes too easily. Didn't she say she would stay by my side no matter what? How could I forget it? “Estelle!” I called her because she was not moving at all. Did she just sleep while I was still giving her assignments? I wonder if she often does that behind my back. “Estelle, wake up!” But she snores. I rubbed my face, got up from the chair, and approached her. Seeing her sleeping on the floor, I crouched down to get a better look at her. Her face looked healthier

  **Alpha Cedric's POV** I deliberately pressed her body against the wall so she couldn't avoid me, while my hands locked her nicely. Don't blame me if I do this! She had fueled my anger! "I told you not to play games with me!" I said slowly. She glared cowardly, not even daring to meet my eyes. Why? She should have looked into my eyes properly, so I could dive into it and find out how far she liked that man: Prince. After hearing my sharp words, she turned to me slowly. Her hands were still hiding some of the documents I was working on and the ink that must have been spilled. I didn't care about the paperwork and the ink because I could make and buy new ones. What I cared about was her determination to defend myself in the biggest space in her heart. Did Prince now have more space than me? “If you are caus

 **Alpha Cedric's POV** The thought of Estelle coming into contact with Prince boggled my mind. Even if they did it for practice. Who was Prince? I should have known all the trainers in the training center. And I didn't remember a man so handsome as me, at least that was what the female werewolves around me said. All my work was almost neglected, I couldn't focus even just to write one word correctly. My mind wandered, and my eyes wandered out the window, wondering when Estelle would be back. Suddenly Roland startled my reverie. “Alpha!” When I turned around, he handed me a document containing the results of the recent battle between Luminous Red and Hard Stone. “Hard Stone is superior to Luminous Red. If Luminous Red hadn't enlisted the help of the other packs, Hard Stone should have won,” he explained. 

**Estelle's POV** That! That was my suppressant. How did Vera get it? "Is this your secret?" she joked again while playing the suppressants. I brought at least nine because I couldn't possibly go back to Alpha Cedric's palace just to get them. I purposely carried more in case it got lost or broken. But it was in Vera's hands, which she might throw away! "Give it to me!" My hands moved furiously. I didn’t want to show my anger because she would realize how important the suppressant was for me. My steps quickened as I approached her, trying to get all the suppressants out of her hands. But before I got to them, she had already tossed the pouch filled with suppressants to one of her friends. She grinned. “Why are you so nervous? You haven't even answered my question. Is that your secret to covering up your rotten scent?” My hands clenched when I saw her laugh with her friends. How could she do this to me? I never hurt her. I'd always appreciated her. But this was exactly what I go

  **Estelle's POV** Prince grinned even more as he said, "I can help you make Alpha Cedric jealous." His mischievous face was in stark contrast to my shocked face. "Are you crazy?" My hand jerked in the air. Since leaving Vera's house, she had been threatening me not to get close to Prince no matter what. And if I kept doing it then I would get another punishment at her house. I was determined to follow her rules so I could quickly return to Alpha Cedric's palace, but I was just doing the opposite. Argh, I thought I was the smartest at digging my own grave! Prince chuckled at me. He often chuckled when talking to me, something he rarely did with other trainees. That was why I was called a trainer's pet these days, even though I didn't try that hard to be liked by Prince. I became the way I was, and I focused on my skills.&nbs
