(Nikita's P.O.V.)Shit.That wasn't supposed to happen. Why did he kiss me?!"I—I'm sorry, Nikita! It wasn't me. It was my wolf. He took control. I couldn't stop him!" he desperately explained as he chased after me, while I marched to the nearest powder room.He couldn't stop him?! What kind of nonsense is that?! He is the owner of that body. He should be able to take control whenever he wants. Why don't he just admit that he wanted that to happen! I frustratingly kicked the door open. Manuel had no other choice, but to wait outside.To be honest, our lips didn't touch. But I don't know why I'm getting so worked up. I just feel so annoyed about it. Like I knew he wasn't supposed to do something like that to me. Like I'm afraid that someone would see and get upset.I'm not thinking about Trojan, right?The hell with him. I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck even if I kiss all the men in town."You should kill him," my wolf angrily said inside my head."Tala!" I scolded.I could feel her rag
(Nikita's P.O.V.)"I just saw you guys at the parade. You've got lots of fans, huh?" she said. I stared at her quietly. She looks prettier up close. Now, I understand why they call her the most beautiful contestant—Just heard it from my way back.Manuel and I glanced at each other. He smiled sheepishly. This means I have to do the talking as usual.I cleared my voice. "Not really. We're not as popular as you are. By the way, he's Manuel. It's our greatest pleasure to meet you..." I replied, smiling sweetly at her. It makes me wonder if she doesn't know about me being Alpha Lucia's daughter, or maybe she just doesn't care? After all, whoever your family is doesn't matter here."Awww! Thank you. Actually, you're not the first one to say," she chuckled. My face automatically turned sour.Okay? That sounded proud.I think she's going to be our main opponent for this competition. She's got the looks and the popularity. I'm about to find out soon if she also has the skills. But first, I nee
(Nikita's P.O.V.)Today is the day of the first elimination round. I gathered all my courage to stand up here in the Circle today. Actually, we're not the first one to battle. We're still waiting for our turn. We're in the sorta last section of the contenders.I know that I did my best in practicing for today's fight. I also trust my partner about this. I know that we'll do great. But you can't blame me for being nervous. After all, if I lose this round, then that means I will forever lose the chance to be the leader of my pack. It would also change the family line of the thrones in Ambersley forever.I felt a strike of pain ringing in my head. I shook it off. Just thinking about it is already hurting my head."I told you not to think about it that much, didn't I? You should keep calm." I heard Manuel's voice spoke beside me. I glanced at him.My face transformed into a goofy smile again when I saw the state of his face. He had paint all over his face as per the arranger's instruction
(Nikita's P.O.V.)The rulers of the game will be the ones to choose our opponents. I'm already here at the Circle, shaking inside. I don't know if it's just the coffee that I drank last night, but I honestly feel nervous. On the other hand, Manuel was just cool. Silent. Still. I wonder what's going on in his mind? Is he also like me? Is he also nervous? Or is it really just me alone?JUST CALM DOWN, NIKITA. You know you did your best in training. There's no reason for you to doubt your skills now.You can do it..."The black pair will be competing against the red pair. Enter the battle Circle Juñio and Crizelle of division four!!!" The female ruler announced. Two unfriendly looking people came on the battle ring. Each of them are wearing a frown, and I can already tell just by looking at them that they will not give us a chance to win the battle.I pursed my lips when the Crizelle girl flashes and smirk on her face.She already looks confident.*PREEEEEEPPPP!!!!*I went into my positi
(Nikita's P.O.V.)"I'm fine...""Are you sure?""Of course.""You don't have to force yourself—""You heard me, Manuel. I'm not going to say that again."He had no other choice, but to keep silent. He quietly followed me to the hallways. I could feel weakness in my legs, but I'm trying so hard to keep them walking. I smiled upon seeing Omegas who knows me. They excitedly presented their notebooks to me. At first, I didn't know why, but when I laid my eyes on the pages. That's when I see a portrait of mine."Wow! This is impressive." I wasn't able to contain my happiness. This is the first time someone actually took effort to illustrate me.I turned my head to glance at Manuel who looked really happy for me. He nodded his head like he was the proudest. I showed him his cute wobbly face from the pages.He chuckled softly.I signed the portrait as per their request. I can still remember what they told me about how I become their inspiration. Because of me, they start to believe that Omeg
(Trojan's P.O.V.)"I love her. It's true. And I am already desperate to the point that I would call a meeting to my rival just to have her back," I vulnerably said. Ron stared at me silently. I couldn't read the emotion in his eyes, but I know for sure that he is trying to balance me.As an Alpha, I could easily banish Clara whenever I like. But I don't want to hurt the baby inside of her womb. It could be mine—my future heir.But I just can't give up.I love Nikita."So, you're telling me that I should help you because YOU LOVE the girl that I LOVE," he replied putting emphasis on his words.My jaw clenched. I knew that it would be impossible to get him to help me. But what can I do? He's my last hope. Father is doing everything in his power to stop me from reaching Nikita.I may be the most powerful Alpha in the pack, but I still can't risk to put my mate's life in danger.She will forever be my weakness.One minute of silence, and he finally gave up a sigh. He nodded his head like
(Nikita's P.O.V.)It's the second day of the Elimination Round. The crowd became more wild as all remains are the most powerful werewolves in Ambersley. The bleachers were all full including the ones at the back. The cheers filled the entire stadium.*Preeepppp!!!*The referee whistled as soon as the Alpha beat his Beta opponent. I could clearly see how extreme his injuries are. They really break the bones that they can break.I guess, they were serious about winning the competition no matter what."Where's your friend?" Manuel asked out of the blue. I glanced at him confusedly. What friend?"Huh?"He was glancing around like he was looking for someone."You have a friend coming, right? I heard your conversation with her last night."My cheeks instantly turned pink. "Y—You did?" I stuttered. Then, he must have heard it when Ruby called him hot. Gosh! Why did he listen?! He wasn't supposed to listen to that!When I looked at him, he was still glancing around innocently.Don't tell me t
(Nikita's P.O.V.)I instinctively stood up from my seat to block Manuel. I thought that it was the smartest thing to do if I don't want to cause a scene here at the diner."A—Alpha?" I quietly muttered, just enough for him to hear. He stared at me using his emotionless eyes. We're near the border, but we're still at the Ambersley territory. Alpha Leon will not like it once he finds out that he crossed the line.Ruby, who was silently finishing her food in ther corner, stood up to join us, too. She slightly bowed her head at Trojan who was still focused on staring at me. "Alpha..." she expressed respect. Trojan ignored her."What are you doing?" Manuel whispered behind me.I sarcastically glanced at him. "What do you think? I'm trying to stop him from breaking your jaw," I replied. I started to panick when he stood up, and showed his respect towards the Alpha leader, too. I was left with no choice, but to bow when everyone in the diner lowered their heads.He walked towards us, stoppin
