Chapter: The ArenaGIANNA“You’re seriously agreeing to this? He’s just trying to provoke you, and you’re falling for it.” I faced Bryant, anger bubbling through my veins.Did I look like a doormat or a trophy?“I understand that this makes you angry but..” Bryant tried to explain but I immediately cut in.“Oh it makes me angry, all right. And you don’t understand anything about me, because if you did, you wouldn’t agree to such a dangerous thing.” My voice had begun to rise at this point. “Who gave you or him the right to fight for me? Did I ever say I would accept either of you even if you did this? I was wrong to think you to be a rational person. Maybe you’re just as crazy as that jerk over there.” I pointed at Marco without a glance at him.I didn’t even care what Marco's expression looked like. All I wanted was for them to stop the madness.“Gia dear.” Enzo started softly as he placed a hand on my shoulders in a bid to calm me down. I spun and faced his direction.“I’m sorry that the pack allows

Chapter: Pack RulesGIANNAI immediately turned back to the direction his voice had come from. And there he was, his eyes set in a glare that was directed at Bryant.“What are you doing here?” I asked harshly, with a frown. Do the guards perhaps just let anyone in? How did he get in?He turned his head in my direction, his grimace changing into a smile I knew was definitely not sincere. I mean, I was with him for a long while. Long enough to know that right now, although he was smiling, he was most definitely not happy.I said I wouldn’t let myself be affected by him, but I unconsciously found myself growing uncomfortable as little thoughts of self-doubt started entering my head.“Of course I'm here to my mate, silly. Why else would I be here?”“Ex mate. You rejected me. You always seem to forget that.”“You’re really becoming a nuisance.” Bryant said with a sigh.“What the heck are you on about?” Marco barked, voiced laced with venom.Bryant stepped forward till he was standing right in front of Marco.

Chapter: Unwanted VisitorGIANNAI bit my lips and stared off into space as the nightmare I had the previous night replayed continually in my head. Every picture that appeared into my head sent me goosebumps down my spine. The first dream was just confusing, but the second one was terrifying. I never wanted to feel lost or unseen, and that was exactly how I felt in that dream.“Gianna!” Enzo’s concerned voice cut into my thoughts, making me flinch in surprise. I turned my head towards him and I could see the worry and concern written all over his face. “Sis, what is wrong? Why are you so pale?”At first, I was confused as to when Enzo appeared beside me, but after looking around, I realized that we were both sitting at the dining table and our breakfast had even been served.What was wrong with me? Was I so shaken by a nightmare that I didn’t even realize where I was. This needed to stop. It was only a dream. Seeing that he was still awaiting my response, I forced out a smile to reduce his worries. “Sorry. I

Chapter: Two DreamsGIANNAI forced myself to step away from him before I lost my control. He smirked at me and just held my hand. He didn’t try to pull me closer anymore, we just walked and talked some more. We returned to the event when the guests had started to leave. Helena was already gone, thank the goddess. I didn’t know what I would have done if she still remained here to cause trouble.“Would it be okay if I come visit you here tomorrow?” Bryant asked me.“You’re free to.” I replied.“I’m asking so your Alpha won’t send his warriors after me when I arrive. He seems really protective of you.”“You can visit, Bryant. I promise not to chase you away. As long as you respect yourself around Gianna, and make sure not to give her any trouble.” Enzo interrupted our conversation as he got close enough to hear what we were saying.“Okay then. I appreciate you giving your permission for me to enter your pack undeterred.” Alpha Bryant nodded at Enzo, and then kissed the back of my hand.He left his scent on

Chapter: Got The HintGIANNA Marco tried pulling Helena away from her gem frenzy, but couldn’t succeed because of the others that were also in the midst of the struggle for gems. He gave up on her, and walked in my direction. I frowned before he even got close. Why couldn’t he just take a hint. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him for crying out loud.I was saved from having to tell him off, because Alpha Bryant of the Forestland Pack intervened.“Don’t dare take another step.” Bryant warned Marco.“And who the fuck do you think you are to tell me where to go or not go?” Marco asked with a challenging growl.“I have been watching everything going on since the event started. It seems you only came here to start up trouble. Your attention has been rejected in clear terms, yet you don’t know when to back off and save what little pride you have left. How else do you want to be told that your presence is not welcome here?” Bryant scoffed.Marco clenched his fists, and his nostrils flared as he glared at

Chapter: Accusation And Humiliation GIANNA“Have you lost your mind, Helena? Why would you even think of something like that?” I said to her immediately.She looked surprised, and she should be. The Gianna she grew up with was the old me. The old me would have never tried to speak back at her. I would just be quiet and allow her to throw her tantrums, because I knew that retaliating would only get me in trouble. As the favourite child, Helena could get away with murder, and our parents would still be happy for her. The same wasn’t true for me. I always had to be careful not to make their precious daughter cry, or I would get punished. But the new me no longer cared. I was with my real family now, and they loved me more.“First of all, you never had a diamond necklace. Your parents may be rich, but they’re not that rich.”“How would you know that? After getting mated, you no longer lived with us. Mum gifted me a new necklace. I told you about it because I was happy, and I brought it to the picnic because you insisted I
