"Oswald, do you think the boarding decision is right for Maia?" Asher's accusing voice drifted into my ear, jolting me up from my sleep. He was talking in a whisper as if he didn't want to wake me up.I tried to feel my surroundings, and due to the smell that drifted into my nose and the soft bed, I only had one thought: Wyatt's Mansion. They brought me back.But upon recalling the question Asher had just posed, I tried to stay quiet. So the rules were really made up because of me, and I wasn't being paranoid?Great, he wanted to separate Wyatt and my closeness."Strange things kept piling up about my mate," he muttered possessively, and that left me amazed for a few minutes. So he's still ascertaining dominance right now? I had the idea that he must be directing it to Wyatt."I don't know what to make of this. Different rumors are flying; it's too late to change things." Oswald explained, but in simpler words, he seemed to regret his decision.The room fell quiet immediately, and usi
“What's it, Filippa?” Wyatt's hand fell on my hand with worry as he inquired.I snapped out of my reverie and shook my head. These are things I need to solve myself; I don't need to tell anyone for now. “It's nothing. Can I go to class now?” I asked them since I was healthy and felt no pain.“Not yet; I need to find out how to cleanse the suppressing poisons from your system.” Asher conveyed, which made my eyes light up.If Asher can cleanse the poisons from my system, that means I can become powerful.As long as I become powerful, I can get out of any dangers in the future and know more about myself.Not only that, I can leave the power axis pack to take over the red flame pack and lead it to the top. A sense of happiness ran through my whole system, and I happily bowed to them.“Thank you.” I sincerely appreciate them. My voice is vividly filled with joy.“It's fine.” Asher nodded nonchalantly and took out a syringe from his medical box before saying, “Stay still; I'll be drawing ou
I huffed and ruffled my hair before lying on my back in anger. “How dare he accuse me of throwing tantrums? Can't he be considerate of me? What if I died? Well, it won't faze him since he has a perfect mate next to his side. I hate him.” I bemoaned.Until the next day, I didn't catch a trace of anyone. Great, I've healed already, and the most important thing is not to get stifled to death due to annoyance by just seeing their face. That Oswald jerk!As soon as it's dawn, I take my bath, apply my skincare, and do all the necessary things I need to do before picking up my things.I left for school without catching a trace of Wyatt. Perhaps he's out to train, or he didn't come home last night. Since I hadn't left the room since I woke up, I didn't know.Still, the thought of being called selfish is a stab to my heart. I really want to rip him apart. Will he really lock me down and prevent me
2nd trial: Fighting with a set of 30 medium-ranked roguesI couldn't believe this. Is this a joke? How can Oswald give me such a mission? Is it because Oswald was annoyed with me? Is that why he decided to assign such a dangerous quest as my second trial? We all know that I'm a beginner at fighting.Gosh. It wasn't even low-ranked; it was a group of medium-ranked rogues. In actuality, my fighting skill isn't even up to the werewolf's low-ranked level.How can he give me such a quest: a week from now, you'll be fighting 30 medium-ranked rogues?An amusing laugh spilled past my lips, even though I tried hard to stop it.Did Oswald want me to fail or not? Looking past his possessive words yesterday, I think he wanted me to. Perhaps he's now tired of me, and since I'm too unconquerable for him, he can't wait to kick me out of his pack.I mean, once I lose this trial, there's nothing left. Since I've failed the first trial, I'll be kicked out as soon as I lose the second one.But if it's l
Arya shook her head seriously. "If Big Brother Wyatt didn't give you an explanation, then I'm the last person who can." She explained, looking sincere.Of course, what was I thinking? Perhaps, since Arya was sent to watch over me, why would she snitch on the Alpha? Of course, there'll be a limit to what she can tell me.I plopped on the table and tousled my hair angrily, not quite understanding why they were still hiding things from me. Don't I need to become stronger if I'm to be used as a 'weapon'? Is it because I'm yet to become one of them? "Ugh. I don't like you anymore."Before I could complete my words, Arya grabbed my hand tightly in flusters and stared at me with panic on her face. "You can't." Arya cried out and tightened her hold, which almost made me wince. I was slightly shocked by her actions.My comment was casually made; I didn't expect Arya to react this strongly. Perhaps my shock was vivid because Arya suddenly smiled—a comforting one.Suddenly, Arya placed her head
I fell onto my bed after taking my bath and applying my skincare routine. I picked up my phone and heaved a sigh of distress.Despite all that happened in the afternoon, I didn't bother chatting up Oswald to ask him what was up.I knew Oswald must want to see me frustrated, but I had to make sure that what he'd be getting from me was nothing but confidence and calmness.I unlocked my phone and tapped on the search engine. If the library doesn't work, the search engine must.'Pureblood.' I input the search according to Arya's explanations of how to operate the search engine. Error! The search didn't match any information.I gritted my teeth upon seeing the answer. I knew that Oswald must be the one behind this. He messed up with it again. He's really doing everything to get me blocked. Should I be grateful that he's paying so much attention to me now?'Maia, your mate is an asshole.' I angrily commented.Maia stayed silent and didn't reply to me, but I knew it was a silent agreement.
“Lorelei?” I stared at the tall female figure who was leaning against the tree I once leaned on the first time I entered the forest to meet Oswald.Lorelei's eyes were cold and freezing. And I could feel intense hostility from her. Somehow, right at that minute, an intense hatred toward Lorelei bloomed in me.Being in the same environment as Lorelei made me feel unreconciled. It felt as if we were opposites and longtime enemies.Lorelei squinted her eyes at me and moved away from the tree. Her eyes coldly bore into mine. In the dawn, her eyes held some weird glint that felt like an attraction that was calling me toward her. I looked away and broke the contact, opting to stare somewhere else.“Who are you?” Lorelei's sudden question caught me off guard, and I stared back at her in bewilderment.“What?” My brows furrowed in bewilderment. What is she talking about? Is Lorelei here for me? Why?Lorelei made her way toward me and cut the distance between us in half. A disapproving frown o
“Fil. You have always belonged to me."Of course, I remembered the promise I made to Rex during childhood. However, I just gave Rex a casual acknowledgement to make Rex calm down.I didn't think much of the promise since we'll all find our mate at the end of the day, and we'll go our separate ways. I've always thought that was Rex's thought as well. “That's just a child's promise, Rex.” I conveyed in a soft voice the hope of convincing him.“I didn't take it that way. I've always held your words close to my heart.” Rex bemoaned, drew me closer, and wrapped his hand around my waist.Despite all my struggles, Rex wasn't bulging, and that made me huff. Rex chuckled and tousled my hair playfully. I chortled and slapped his hand playfully.“I've always wanted you, ever since that day. I lost you once; I won't do so again.” Rex declared firmly.Suddenly, Rex's red eyes darkened, and his breath began to come out in a hurry—a sign that he was about to be triggered.Filled with panic, I wrappe
