Chapter 116Leila's povCause if not, what was the point of doing it when my father could hire the best candidate to go up against Alessia in the finals?I heard a knock on my door soon, and I couldn't be more pissed.Ignoring whoever it was, I climbed my bed and covered my whole body like trying to protect myself from everyone.Later that evening, I went down to the kitchen to get water for myself to drink when I saw Amelia coming towards me with a glass of water in hand."here sis," she said to me and I froze."Stop with the pretense. It's not working." I said to her, not buying a single thing out of her actions."Sister I can't pretend to you. Look I know you need this and that's why I brought it for you. Do you think it might be poison? Look!" she said and drank it in my presence then went to get another one after rinsing the cup."Thanks, I don't need it anymore," I said and turned to leave. I was so scared of everything Amelia and her mother had to offer. When I got into the ro
Chapter 117Leila's povThe next day, I appeared at the field to meet with my best friend and also see if there was a way to open up about it to her.The moment I got to the field, I had this weird feeling that I had to turn around but still couldn't find anyone, so I decided to go back home when suddenly I decided to go home.When I turned, I saw Alessia standing behind me. She looked like she had a lot to say to me and wondering where she should start from."Alessia. I think I have something to say to you." I ran to her and held her shoulder but then, she gave me a hard push that sent me to the floor.The expression in her eyes was something I couldn't explain."I have supported you all your life and this is what I get. You would always choose those abusers over me and throw me away whenever you want simply because we don't share the same blood. Would I really always be a low life?" she asked me and I couldn't help but wonder where her words came from."Who said that Alessia? Defini
Chapter 118Leila's povLater the next day****Everyone was so busy with the occasion as the winner of the competition was Amelia who happened to be the daughter of one of the pack's beta.Standing and trying my best to be happy for my sister, I couldn't help but wonder what level my relationship with my friend was.Shouldn't she be happy for me though?Shouldn't she be happy that I was trying to settle the crisis with my sister? What could have possibly been said? I thought and soon, the ceremony started."Let's welcome every single soul in this great pack," someone said from the already-built stage.I took a seat at the back and sat down as I watched as the rest of the chairs got filled too. A lot of activities went on but I wasn't a part of either because I didn't think I wanted to and no one persuaded me to join.In the midst of the event, I looked around but saw no sign of Alessia.Shouldn't she have been there? I thought. At least she got to the finals. Of course, there was a
Chapter 119Leila's povSeems like someone had gotta explain something to me. I thought as I raised my head and watched her continue her speech."I also have a special someone in my life. He's not just great to me, he's awesome. He is a warrior, my hero, and has done everything he could to provide me with a better life and that person is no other than my amazing father. He's not just a father-to-be, he is a great beta in the pack. Everyone, please give it up for my father. Our Beta Carlson." she said and everyone gave him a loud clapping offering. From the congregation, everyone could see her parents waving to everyone for their support. "Then I want to thank the Alpha of the pack and every other amazing soul that has done everything they could to protect this pack and make it a better place for us to live in. I love you all. I love you, my family. I acknowledge my friends. Thanks for standing my be and not trading me for anything else. Not everyone has the same loyalty that you have
Chapter 120Leila's povWe then left leaving her there.I couldn't believe this was what I had to go through in the name of wanting to be the best girl I can be. I felt hot tears tickled down my face and I got dragged away by Alessia."I am sorry alessia. I thought this could fix us.""it's fine my dear. You don't have to regret anything. I understand that you wish you would be in a better place with your family but unfortunately they don't want it so you have to let them be."We sat on a bench in the field, staring into space, my heart still clouded in guilt. Two girl passed, laughing as they looked at me.I had to look towards another angle to avoid them. I had come here with my best friend to cool off before going on so I didn't want to start engaging myself in petty talks. Not right now, I thought to myself but the girls didn't want that and beside me, Alessia was already losing her patience."Look at her, she is Amelia, our winners sister but didn't get acknowledged. She's so wo
Chapter 121Leila's pov"Really sis?" she asked."Of course, so yes darling, I am happy for you and yes I will dance with you. Come on let's go." I said to her and grabbed her up. We then made our way to where the speaker was set and then we started dancing together.After a few minutes, the music stopped abruptly."who turned it off?" I said excitedly and turned only to see my step mom standing there and glaring at me."Have you forgotten you are a winner with an award? What are you doing wasting your time with someone you shouldn't waste your time with?" she asked Amelia and I turned to hear what she had to say as we definitely had good time together these few minutes."oh mom just relax. Of course there's nothing special about her but you didn't provide me with dancers so I was just using her for the fun of it."I froze as I I looked at the girl I thought I was mingling with just now."Amelia we are good friends. We were just doing well now. What the hell are you saying to your mom
Chapter 122Leila's pov"The both of them do not deserve me and that's just what I have come to learn. Why stress about wolves in sheep's clothing? They are evil and I consider both of them my enemies." I said and walked in.Later that evening, my father knocked at my room door and I opened it for him and walked back and sat on my bed."Good evening father." I greeted him, wondering what the beta of the pack was doing in my room that evening when there seemed to be something going on in the pack."Leila," he called."Yes, father.""Do you know that Amelia is your sister?" he asked."Yes, father. At least I have the idea." I said to him and turned to look towards the door."I need you to stop trying to fight with her. After your mother died years ago, I brought you here and gave you a family you thought you had lost. I expect you to cherish them if you ever feel a little bit of gratitude for my efforts. I love you and that's why you are still here despite the issues that have arisen wi
Chapter 123Leila's povAmelia must be playing some of her random tricks again. I thought as I then turned to face the bushes. After a while, I stood up, contemplating whether I should let her know or not.I think I would have to let her know. I thought and then headed towards Alessia's home.I saw her getting dressed up nicely at the front door and couldn't help but rush up to her."Hi girlie," she said when she saw me."Hello!" I replied and stood looking at her from head to toe. She looked completely innocent from all of these troubles."is there an issue?" she asked me and approached me."Yes, I think so. I got attacked and before they left, they said you sent them." "What? That bitch!" she groaned and we stared at each other. We could already tell who was behind it."Permit me to attack that girl. I can't believe she did this." Alessia said."I mean your reasons are valid," I replied and the next morning while my father was away, Alessia pulled up at my house. I was still up in
