My brows furrowed slightly at the sudden interruption. Is this jerk of an Alpha going to cause a problem for me today of all days? What's wrong with him?Despite all the thoughts running through my mind, I managed to keep my expression calm.I did my best to plaster the calmest smile I could ever muster before raising my head to take a glance at Oswald for the first time today. I bowed slightly in a bid to put distance between us. "Is there a problem, alpha?" I gritted my teeth while wondering what Oswald was about.Oswald didn't spare me a glance; instead, he pointed to three ladies who stood not quite far from my current position. "Search her." Cedric spat out ruthlessly. As soon as he completed his words, he raised his head to take a glance at me, his lips curling up wickedly as if to taunt me.I felt indignation overwhelm my whole being at Oswald's actions. That jerk is purposely messing with me!I knew I wasn't in a position to shoot back, so I clenched my fist hard and gritted
Before I stepped into the forest, I caught sight of Nancy looking in between relief and bewilderment. Nancy is expecting me to not be found with the pill, so I could be weakened by it, yet she still wanted me to be caught by Oswald, so I could be kicked out. She can't make up her mind at all! Thinking of Oswald, I couldn't help gritting my teeth in annoyance. That jerk is really shameless and has no sense of decency. He could even assault me in front of the crowd; what wouldn't he do later on? Oswald has a partner he cares for and protects, but he won't bully her. However, whenever he needs to vent, it's the same me who he wanted to kick out that he'd come after to bully. That bastard really doesn't know what he wants! He's a bipolar, stuck-up jerk! I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I mustn't lose my calm all because of that crazy fellow. No, I mustn't! In the face of a battle, one's state of mind must be extremely calm, especially at a time like this. Although I've w
I sneered at Oswald deridingly and raised my chin proudly, not giving regard to his hands that locked me in place. I gave the sweetest smile I could ever muster to him upon seeing a nervous expression slowly creeping onto his face. "Why surprised? Isn't that what Alpha Oswald has wanted since the beginning?" I quipped provocatively."Isn't that what you don't want?" Oswald snapped, his hold tightening in anger.I bit my lower lip to stop myself from wincing loudly due to the pain.Is he kidding? How does what I want and don't want connect to our current situation? Does he even recall what he has done to me in the past?When I never wanted to leave, he was the one pushing me to leave, so how does what I didn't want concern him?I glared at Oswald angrily. "What does it matter? My decision has changed, and my mind is made up. Oswald, let me go now." I retorted frankly and began to struggle, so Oswald could let me go, but he refused to budge from me."No, you can't, Maia. You can't lea
I smiled and calmly trudged out of the forest. Being with Rex had calmed my chaotic thoughts a bit.I felt extremely relaxed that Rex had calmly listened to me. If Rex had decided to make me leave regardless, I could only stay helpless.However, that would've made a large impact on my life. Being affiliated with Rex, the vampire lord, means I would be made an outcast by the whole werewolf tribe, which means I won't be any different from the rogues to the werewolf.I won't be able to enter the werewolf tribe in the future. Talk more about being the ruler of the Red Flame Pack.I couldn't deny that that jerk had gotten me good. If I don't want to lose all the aforementioned things, I could only stay in the power axis pack.My steps came to a halt, and a smile made its way to my face upon seeing Wyatt seeming to be waiting for me.Wyatt's black eyes fell on me, and his lips curled up slightly, revealing that I was right.Weirdly, I was filled with joy due to seeing Wyatt patiently waitin
I walked out of the bathroom after taking a deep shower with a clean white towel wrapped around my body. I casually used a short white towel to dry my silver hair while making my way to bed.Smelling a familiar scent, my feet couldn't help but come to a halt.I froze upon seeing Wyatt sitting on my bed.Arya had been the one to lead me into the room before I left for the bathroom; I never expected Wyatt to be here! What was he doing here? Everyone must've known he was in my room!A tint of red surfaced on my face, and I couldn't help but take a step back in embarrassment. "Wyatt," I called in a tiny voice, which was mainly due to embarrassment.Wyatt's calm black eyes fell on my face. Upon peering into his eyes, I discovered that his eyes held no ripples or desire, and his face was blank as if he hadn't seen the almost naked woman who was in the same room with him.Seeing Wyatt's calmness, I felt all my embarrassment disappear. I trusted Wyatt a lot, and I believe that he's calm, unli
Upon seeing Wyatt step out of the hostel while bridal-carrying me, Arya blinked her eyes in utter disbelief.Suddenly, Arya's expression changed. She crossed her index fingers and grinned at me before winking mischievously. "Sister-in-law." Arya hailed me once more, and I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.Arya's eyes widened immediately, and she rubbed her eyes dramatically. "Oh no! I think I'm seeing things. There's no way I'm not seeing things. My indifferent queen just blushed. No, Maia did. I'm going crazy. I think the world is coming to an end. Should I prepare a coffin? Am I dying in the next minute?" Arya yelled out while waving her hand dramatically.My lips parted in shock. Why is Arya such a drama queen? She needs to become an actress instead of becoming a general. What does she mean I'm indifferent? I was never indifferent! I huffed and puffed my cheeks out.Before I could say a word, Arya cut in with a happy smile on her face. "Well, it doesn't matter; if I die ton
I shook my head with amusement, Asher being Asher.Wyatt blankly stared at Asher with glazed eyes and got into the passenger seat immediately. It was as if he had expected Asher to make such a move.I calmly stood back and waited for Arya to get into the car after Wyatt.Immediately, Wyatt's blank gaze fell on me. Even though his expression was calm, somehow it sent chills down my spine, making me shiver.Although Wyatt hadn't expressed himself, I knew he was using his gaze to tell me to enter the car.I nodded seriously, got into the car, and sat next to him. Arya sat next to me joyfully, causing me to be in between the siblings.I took a faint glimpse at the car; its exterior was glistening black, and its interior was designed in black.All of Wyatt's things were always colored black, which revealed how much fondness he had for the color.If staring at the car outside made one's lips part in astonishment, being inside the car gave one a heavenly and ethereal feeling…The sudden touc
Upon seeing the protests held in front of the betting company, a frown settled on Arya's face and mine. Isn't the betting just and fair? What are these sets of people protesting for?Something suddenly clicked in my head.For a group of people to come together to protest, I knew things weren't simple.Nobody will suddenly decide to protest unless someone has secretly instigated hatred. That person must've planned to use the crowd's hatred to attack me.Since everyone had bet a lot of money against me because they thought I'd lose, that person wanted to take advantage of my sudden winnings. Now the crowd had been successfully goaded.However, when they were placing their bet, shouldn't they know it's win or lose? Why will I purposely lose in the fight with Lorelei if I'm strong? Am I crazy? Also, no one knew I'd be fighting with the rogues as my second trial, right? So, is there a reason to pretend? I wonder who's instigating the crowd. I sneered. None of them came forward to congratu
