As soon as Amy dressed up and went to her chambers, Chief Kinn didn’t waste time in informing her about the said training Helena mentioned earlier. “Do I have to do it? I don’t want to”, Amy protested, but Chief Kinn wouldn’t even listen to her whining. “I do not have the authority to stop it because it is the queen’s command. Also, it is a necessary requirement for every concubine that will be serving the Alpha, so you must undergo the training as instructed by the Luna”, Chief Kinn argued calmly. She snorted! “Mmph!” “You must be kidding me. Did Luna herself undergo any training? She just came and sat down on the throne, but you want me to train? That is impossible” she countered, her eyes glistening with jealousy coupled with stubbornness. Chief Kinn, who had many things to do and oversee, didn’t want to spend all the whole day exchanging words or trying to persuade her about something that she didn’t have any choice but to do. A tired sigh emerged from the head of the servants
At the announcement of the result, Amy charged forward at me to protest but I pushed her away with the same force she was coming with, making her stagger. “You witch! I will make sure to skin you alive” she growled at me, yelling at the top of her voice. The servants in the hall rushed to hold her down before she attacked me further, even though I didn’t really need their help. If she had tried to attack me again, I would have made sure she regretted it. With a loud voice, I raised up an envelope I had earlier picked from the table. “If you are not going to comply, then you can gladly sign this document. It won’t take long because my seal is already on it. I don’t have to explain what it is, it shows that you will no longer be able to live in the palace. You do know that I have that much authority to deal with matters like this, right?” I stated firmly. Everyone was taken aback, they didn’t know that I had thought hard and long to that extent. I had already thought about every acti
The last day of the training came by and we were busy with the tasks Amy was to do for her final test. Beta Gray, who had been away from the palace since the wedding, finally came to witness the test that had been going on. At the sight of how strict and thorough Helena was with Amy and how she kept judging critically, he already sensed that the situation was not only for proper training but also to get back at Amy for thinking she could do anything or anyhow she wanted in the palace just because Alpha Draco doesn’t favor the Luna. One thing he loved about Helena was her smartness. She wouldn't fight a war she would not win and that was why he was silently rooting for her to find the truth about the death of her parents in the palace. “You are here”. He heard Alpha Draco remark and turned to the direction where the voice was coming from to see the Alpha moving towards him with his guards following closely. With a bow, he greeted the Alpha, “How have you been, My Alpha?” but the Alp
HELENA’S POV That very morning, I knew something was up with the sudden change of scent in Alpha’s room. Draco is someone sensitive to scents, so for him to request a change of scent meant that something might have happened in my absence, but that was none of my business. I only owed him a greeting after all. Amy suggested a meeting to discuss a certain issue about the traditional day coming up which seemed strange to me, but I know if I don’t wait to talk about it, I might lose the right to host it as the Luna. “I think we should meet just like you said”. I accepted, taking my seat at the table. Alpha closed the book he was reading and came to join us at the table. As soon as he took his seat, he asked what we felt would be the best activities to carry out on that day, so it would be worth it. “You are always stuck in the palace and that day is the day assigned for everyone to come to the palace. The kids of the pack are the younger generation, so they should be closer to you, ev
I was so bitter about what Amy did to me with the poison ivy. She had done her research and knew that it was a flower that shouldn’t be near me, then purposely added to the incense, purposely started a meeting till my system absorbed the toxin and reacted, almost killing me. She must have been joking if she thought I would sit still after that horrible incident. I also made sure to think long and wide about what would be the perfect payback and when the ceremonial dinner was announced, I decided that it would be the perfect stage to have my revenge. With a careful investigation through Han, I found out that she was intolerant of cauliflower. She listed it as one of the spices that shouldn’t be in her food, in a large amount because of her irritable bowels, when she was being asked about her palate by the kitchen department. Immediately I saw the information, I knew what to do next. If I decided to make use of it while cooking, I would be caught by the staff and they would complain a
AMY’S POV Although I did start the attack on Helena, I wasn’t prepared for her heavy comeback. The blows she was delivering were so heavy that I almost died in the past few days. Ever since the announcement of my training till the day I was discharged from the hospital for the insane diarrhea I had, I saw hell! All those paybacks were enough to humble me, but given the person I was, I never planned to give up on either making her leave the palace or make her life a living hell. As soon as I was sure that I was fine enough, I went to visit Alpha Draco, who had just come back from a trip with the Beta. “You didn’t ask of me even when you heard that I almost died at the clinic”, I confronted him, entering the large bedroom I had missed. With a deep and tired tone, he answered “I am so sorry, I have been so busy with the Beta that I couldn’t take any time off. I am so glad that you are fine now.” The tiredness coming from his voice was enough evidence that his trip had been stressfu
Upon getting to Helena’s quarters, Secretary Han didn’t make things easy for me. I could see the reason why Helena had someone like her by her side, because she was damn fierce. It was as if she would rain fire on all of us if I dared to touch the little boy playing at the side of the room. “You will have to kill me before you take him out of here. The Luna is not here, so you cannot take him out of her quarters without her permission” she insisted when I asked for the child. Her dedication made me scoff. I knew it wouldn’t be easy and that was why I had to ask for the seal of the Alpha before coming to play my card. I didn’t waste any time before pulling out the mini seal that was behind me to show her. I asked, “Do you know what this is?” and she answered without hesitation, “It is the king’s mini-seal.” With a solid nod, I said “It’s good you can recognize it now you know that I am not here on my own accord”, which of course silenced her. She was at a cross road. She would ha
*A MONTH LATER* Helena finally got used to her baby not being around her and continued to live her life of being at the clinic most of the time while also addressing every other issue that pertained to her position in the palace without hesitation. She had been trying her best to find the man with the mark through Han, who would go undercover into the town but couldn’t find any trace of the man. Although she decided to give up for the time being, she still vowed to do anything it takes her to find the man whenever she sees any clue that will lead to him. Fortunately, her chance finally came one afternoon when the chief doctor of the tenth tribe came over to the clinic to oversee the affairs of the clinic, since it was their tribe that manages the medicinal affairs of the pack. As they looked around and talked about things that might need improvement, the Chief got a notification that he had a guest who was waiting for him in the lobby. “Let’s go back to the lobby. I will come over
