**Estelle's POV**
So Alpha Cedric made me eat all that roast because he wanted me to eat some protein?
At first, I wanted to be angry because he kept accusing me of not being able to cook dinner for him. But now I blushed at his petty attention. He was not as bad as I imagined, not as cold as people say. I just needed to see him from the other side, see the kindness he didn't show to other people.
“Next time pay attention to your food!” he said again. “I need strong and tough pack members. If you don't take care of your nutritional intake, you won't be of any use.”
Just now I was blushing because of his concern, but he wanted me to eat well because it would help him if war came. I shouldn't get carried away with this feeling.
He was cold and annoying!
I nodded, moving my hand. "Thank You. I will remember it.”
**Estelle's POV** That! That was my suppressant. How did Vera get it? "Is this your secret?" she joked again while playing the suppressants. I brought at least nine because I couldn't possibly go back to Alpha Cedric's palace just to get them. I purposely carried more in case it got lost or broken. But it was in Vera's hands, which she might throw away! "Give it to me!" My hands moved furiously. I didn’t want to show my anger because she would realize how important the suppressant was for me. My steps quickened as I approached her, trying to get all the suppressants out of her hands. But before I got to them, she had already tossed the pouch filled with suppressants to one of her friends. She grinned. “Why are you so nervous? You haven't even answered my question. Is that your secret to covering up your rotten scent?” My hands clenched when I saw her laugh with her friends. How could she do this to me? I never hurt her. I'd always appreciated her. But this was exactly what I go
**Estelle's POV**What did Valeriee say earlier? Was Vera jealous of me?By this time my head was spinning but I looked up to see Valerie and Vera arguing right now."You crossed your limits, Valerie!" pointed Vera at her sister. "I've never been jealous of her!""Then explain to you did this to Estelle?"“I told you that she wants to show off! After becoming Alpha Cedric's mate, she wants to get support from all the trainees in the training center. She even seduces our new trainer. You disgusting bastard. Come on, guys! We'd better get out of this disgusting place!” Vera left, followed by her friends.They looked at us in confusion and left me alone with Valerie.Valerie shook her head in frustration and rubbed her forehead. She crouched down to help me up. “Are you all right, Estelle? Sorry
**Estelle's POV**Prince grinned even more as he said, "I can help you make Alpha Cedric jealous."His mischievous face was in stark contrast to my shocked face. "Are you crazy?" My hand jerked in the air.Since leaving Vera's house, she had been threatening me not to get close to Prince no matter what. And if I kept doing it then I would get another punishment at her house.I was determined to follow her rules so I could quickly return to Alpha Cedric's palace, but I was just doing the opposite. Argh, I thought I was the smartest at digging my own grave!Prince chuckled at me. He often chuckled when talking to me, something he rarely did with other trainees. That was why I was called a trainer's pet these days, even though I didn't try that hard to be liked by Prince.I became the way I was, and I focused on my skills.&nbs
**Alpha Cedric's POV**“Estelle is making out with Prince right now. Huhuhu!"My patience ran out when I heard Vera's words. Ignoring her who collapsed on the ground to cry, I dashed off to find Estelle after Vera's friends told me where Estelle and Prince were.I'm not allowed to run unless it's in a critical situation. If no one dies from being attacked by the enemy or if there is no war then I am forbidden to run. If I run then the members have to raise their weapons.Many of the trainees in that place panicked upon seeing me running. They complained that they did not carry weapons and were confused about what to do.Roland followed me with a confused look. He didn't take Delta Laes with him, and I doubt he ever would. It seemed like he was just making excuses so I could come to the training center to meet Estelle. Well, I thanked him.
**Estelle's POV**Alpha Cedric grabbed my arm so I got up and left the fallen cupcake. His eyes locked me horribly, his dominance came out to make me suffocate.I kind of go back to the moment he threw a rage in front of me like the time he lost control of himself.Without noticing I was shaking and could not answer anything."Why did you let people bully you?" he said again, still with the same emphasis. “Don't let them do that! I've often warned you about that! Fight them so they stop bullying you.”He snorted as he glanced at the cupcake. Some crumbs scattered on the grass. The trainee who left it already bit it and then thrown it in front of me."Did you know if you take the cupcake, they will look down on you even more?" he said again because this was curter. "I'm sure you're not stupid, Estelle!"
**Estelle's POV**"What is it? You look uncomfortable." Prince turned to me while driving. If he could own a car, I was sure he'd be rich. Then why did he want to work at the training center? I heard it didn't make much money.I shook my head. The question barely escaped my ears."Are you serious?" He looked back as he stopped the car. "Did you forget something?"And I shook my head again. "I have to hurry to the market."His furrowed brow lifted. “Oh, right. Okay, prepare yourself, Miss! I will increase the speed!”The car engine roared and filled my ears. Light smoke billowed out. The scent of exhaust emulsion filled my nostrils. My hands waved in front of my face then I gripped my seatbelt really tight because Prince really meant what he said.He accelerated the speed of the car even faster than
**Alpha Cedric's POV**"Do you like Prince?" I asked Estelle again, this time with more certainty. I hated to think about it but I had to know how she felt about Prince now.I slowed down the speed of the car, deliberately doing so. So, we still had time to talk alone.When she hadn't answered yet, my hands clenched as I gripped the steering wheel. Did she really love Prince?"So do you love handsome men?" I chuckled angrily when I remembered how excited she was when she told Roland about Prince's handsomeness, while I never thought I would ever occupy that position in her heart.I was willing to follow her when I heard she came out of Vera's house. Even though I told Roland and everyone else that I didn't care about her, I put a spy in place to make sure she was okay. So, after hearing she came out of Vera's house, I wanted to pick her up to take her
**Estelle's POV**Vera and her friends pushed me through the door. They giggled, expecting to find a new toy that night.Vera had even shouted, “Prepare yourselves, guys! You guys will have a clown tonight! Do whatever you want to her!”She walked towards the kitchen while humming. I was sure she was thrilled to think I failed to cook all the food she wanted at the party. Until then her steps stopped suddenly, her happy face suddenly shocked.Her friends who numbered at least ten people also gave the same reaction. They stood in shock as they looked into the kitchen, where all the dishes were.One of them stammered as he said, "How could you cook all that?" While Vera clenched her fists.She rushed toward me and grabbed my collar, making me flinch and almost punch her in the face. Like a beast, she growled and barked. "
