The time ticked by eventfully.My time was either spent studying or training with Rex, and now I could fight 30 mid-level rogues in less than two hours by myself, and it's all thanks to Rex's intense training.Rex is really such a capable teacher, and it was all thanks to that stinky Oswald, who thought he had trapped me by ordering Asher not to teach me before the trial.Luckily for me, the disappointment or disaster ended up leading me to such a fortunate discovery.Rex towered over me domineeringly. "If you dared to lose later..." Although Rex didn't complete his words, his red eyes, which were filled with maniac, fierce light, made me shrink back in fear.We had just gone through the evening of dawn training. Perhaps it was because of the trial that was to happen in the afternoon today; surprisingly, Rex permitted me to return to the hostel at 1:33 a.m.“I won't fail, capisce?” I growled at Rex boastfully and bared my teeth at him.I know Rex is confident that I won't fail the com
My eyes widened in realization, and I almost knocked myself on the head for my forgetfulness. I couldn't believe I'd forgotten that I'm not poor. I sat up and grabbed my phone immediately. I nodded to Arya. "Oh. Yes, I've actually forgotten about it. Let me see how... Ah?" A shocked gasp fell from my lips upon logging into my bank account. Upon seeing 20 million wolvese staring at me, my lips parted, and my jaw dropped in disbelief. Isn't Wyatt spoiling me too much for a stranger? I couldn't help letting out a distressed sigh. "Didn't your brother think he's spoiling me too much…" I was yet to complete my words when a sheepish grin slowly crept over Arya's face. Arya's brows raised repeatedly. I knew completing my words would result in teasing from Arya, so I paused my speech and playfully glared at her. I happily placed my phone on the bed and stared seriously at Arya. "I want to gamble 19 million. If I win, that means I'll be making 380 million. Yes! I'll become a rich woman
I froze slightly at the sudden voice of Nancy I had just heard. I didn't hear any approaching footsteps, nor did I catch a trace of a shadow or figure when I arrived at the forest, so I didn't expect Nancy or anyone else to show up without my knowledge.I lowered my head and quickly wiped away the tears with my right hand before prying away Nancy's hands, which hugged me from behind. I turned to Nancy after inhaling deeply to calm my emotions and then feigned a calm smile. "Thank you." Upon seeing my face, Nancy's eyes widened, and her lips parted in a gasp. She eyed me pitifully, but deep in her eyes I could see glee written in them; I couldn't help furrowing my brows while wondering what Nancy was being joyful and feigning pity for.Nancy tried to grab my hand, but I quickly evaded her hand before it could touch mine.Nancy lowered her head, her expression filled with 'pity'. "Instead of crying on your own, why don't you tell Alpha Oswald that you'd rather not participate in this d
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
