Ebsy looked at Alyssa who was wrapped in a towel and covered in sweat and dirt. He stared at her in amusement and broke out in cold sweat. Anger rushed through his veins. “First of all, what are you doing here?”She opened her mouth but he interrupted her again. “Why did you come down from there? If you hadn't been careful enough, that dagger would have gone right through your neck.”Alyssa held the towel tightly to her chest. She was scared. She has never seen him that angry and her heart throbbed faster than usual. “I'm sorry she whispered.”“You could've gotten hurt,” he pointed out.She steadied her breath and stared at him in frustration. “I know, okay. Why didn't you turn on the lights?”“Why are you naked?” He demanded, watching her.“I still have a towel on. I'm not naked,” She pointed.“Fine, that's fine. Are you okay?” He asked.Alyssa nodded. “I'm great.”“We need to get you something. We can't have you walking around in clothes like this,” Ebsy said and took off his jacket
“What's going on?” Coach demanded.“The test of power,” someone replied from the crowd and cheered.“That's enough you two,” Coach protested but her voice was barely heard over the din of excitement and chaos.She tried to come in between them but before she could do anything, Kalista reached for Alyssa and pinned her to the floor and began to beat her. Alyssa was full of rage and returned the beating. She couldn't take it anymore.Everytime someone wanted to hurt her and they saw physical attempts didn't work, they always used verbal and it was always her family.“You get so mad when your family is talked about? Why then didn't you hit me? I brought it up!” Kalista spat.“I was going to mess you up,” Alyssa said and grabbed Kalista roughly by the neck. “Who are you to talk about me? You don't even know me.”“Maybe I don't,” Kalista whispered. “But I do know my brother brought in a burnt bitch and had her face fixed. If you infuriate me peasant girl, I'll have your face fucked so bad
Kalista was infuriated at Alyssa's smart moves. No one predicted her. How did this little peasant see that coming?After Alyssa dodged, she quickly strikes back by wrapping an arm around Kalista's neck and jabbing her in the back with her knee. Kalista was caught off guard and brought to her knees.She reached for Alyssa but she backed away and punched Kalista in the nose. Kalaista cried out in pain and frustration as blood trickled down her nose. “You fucking asshole,” she cried.“It's too early to show weakness now,” Alyssa yelled. “Get up and fight me.”“What's going on? It seems to me that Kalista is losing to her.”“This girl lied,” someone else said. “I've been in training for months and I know, no one can predict Kalista's moves.”“It would be a shame if she loses to this new girl.”Kalista brought herself to her feet as her fingertips gingerly touched the blood that flowed from her nose. If there was somewhere she didn't like being touched, it was her face. During sparring or
Alyssa moved through the arena with deliberate precision and calculated steps. She looked at Kalista with a pathetic expression on her face. Despite her wolf's insistent urge to use her full strength and have Kalista bedridden, Alyssa held back.She didn't want to fight anymore. She was hoping to convince Kalista with a less brutal defeat.-Just a little more strength Alyssa and you'll be putting her where she belongs.Alyssa ignored her wolf while Kalista watched her, her eyes were wide with disbelief and growing rage. A flash of red flickered in her eyes as she grew furious.As Alyssa approached her to conclude the fight, Kalista's hand flicked and something small and sharp flew from her cuff towards Alyssa. The pain halted Alyssa's movement and the crowd who had already assumed Alyssa's victory was certain, gasped collectively. They hadn't expected any underhanded tricks from Kalista at this point.Alyssa felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest and stumbled. She gasped as blood spur
Upon hearing the doctor's arrival, Ebsy rushed through the corridors, cradling Alyssa in his arms, his heart pounding with fear. He placed her on the bed of the treatment room and called for the doctor's attention.He was asked to stand back while they assessed Alyssa's condition with their faces growing grim.“This is poison,” one of the doctors said, his voice tight with urgency. “And a very potent one at that.”Without another word, they whisked Alyssa away to the operating room. Ebsy was left pacing anxiously outside the door, his mind racing with worry. He wondered where the poison was gotten from and who had poison on them and he made up his mind to conduct a search.Minutes stretched into eternity and when he was thinking of entering the operating room to find out what was taking time, the doctor emerged, holding a tiny needle in his hand.“What's the news doctor?” He demanded.“We found this in her body,” the doctor explained. “This needle delivered the poison and we're shocke
Ebsy's eyes were fixed on Alyssa the whole time. He had refused to blink or leave her side afraid that he was going to miss something. Alyssa's left hand shifted and her eyes twitched, causing Ebsy to sit up straight and watch closely.His first instinct was to call the doctor but he didn't. Alyssa stirred in her sleep and a groan escaped her lips. Her eyelids slowly fluttered open. Her vision was blurry before her eyes adjusted to her surroundings and she saw a pair of eyes googling at her.“Wait! Don't move,” he said and touched her arm lightly.“What's wrong?” She asked weakly as she tried to figure out where she was.“You need to rest, please,” Ebsy said, concern etched on his face as he scrutinised her.A doctor came in at that moment to check on Alyssa and she knew at that moment that something was wrong. Her head felt heavy. Too heavy for her neck and she felt intense pain all over her body like she had been stepped on.“How do you feel Ma'am?” The doctor asked.“Weak,” she sai
Lydia collapsed on the ground, her face clouded with desperation. "It was all an accident," she pleaded, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I just wanted to scare Alyssa. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen.”Ace's expression hardened, his patience evaporating. "An accident? The gone is gone, Lydia, and beyond rescue. What sort of scare involves life? Do you think sorry is enough?" His voice was a whip of anger.“I swear it was a little play. I never wanted for Alyssa to lose her life and it's no fault of mine she's dead Alpha. She's always wanted to leave but you held her down and she was tired. Dying made it easier.”Anger flowed through Ace's veins and he wanted to rip Lydia apart with his two hands. “You already told me that day that you were thinking about Alyssa's death. You've had this planned out for a long time, haven't you?”She smirked and brushed her tears away. “I did it because of you, Alpha. She was taking you away from me. We've been together since childhood.
Ethan stood on the sidelines, shock evident in his face. Each word out of Ace’s mouth was like a dagger to his heart and the image of Alyssa's lifeless body flashed in his mind.His sister had been everything to him, and seeing her lying there, broken and lifeless, was almost too much to bear.His fists clenched tightly at his sides, nails digging into his palms. Every instinct screamed at him to lash out, to make someone pay for what had happened to his sister. And there, standing quietly with a regretful look on his face, was Ace. The Alpha, who should have protected Alyssa, who should have seen this coming.Ace met Ethan’s furious gaze with a calm, resigned expression. He was calm and it triggered Ethan. He wanted a reaction out of him but the Alpha stood strong. He must have been raised that way. To be strong, regardless of what life threw at him but it didn't work that way for Ethan.Ace knew the blame that burned in Ethan’s eyes. "I’m sorry, Ethan," he said softly. "If I had no
