All Chapters of Bullied By Mistake, Spoiled By Fate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

_Alina's POV_As I walked into Alaric’s chamber, the weight of the situation pressed heavily on my heart. The plague was spreading fast, and our people were scared. Alaric was pacing back and forth, and there was a look of frustration on his face.“Alaric,” I called softly, trying to catch his attention.He stopped and looked at me, his eyes filled with pain. “I failed, Alina. I couldn’t stop Caspian. The people won’t listen to me. They think that he’s their savior.”I moved closer to him, my hand reaching out to touch his arm. “You haven’t failed, Alaric. You’re doing everything you can. This isn’t your fault.”His shoulders slumped, and he sat down heavily on the edge of the bed. “But my father… I couldn’t protect him. He’s suffering, and I’m powerless to help him.”I sat beside him. My heart was aching for him. “We’ll find a way to help King Edgar and everyone else. We’re not giving up. You’re not alone in this, Alaric. I’m with you, and together we’ll get through this.”Alaric’s v

_Alina's POV_Once we were inside our room, the door clicked shut behind us. The weight of the day's events seemed to melt away as Alaric turned to me, a soft smile playing on his lips."Alina," he said in a low voice. "Today has been overwhelming, but through it all, you were my rock."I stepped closer. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. "Alaric, I couldn't have done it without you. We're in this together, remember?"He reached out, brushing a strand of hair from my face. "I remember. And I won't forget."Before I could respond, he pulled me into his arms, his lips finding mine in a tender, lingering kiss. My breath hitched as I felt the warmth of his embrace. We broke apart, our foreheads resting together as we both caught our breath."Alaric," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. "I love you."He pulled back slightly, looking into my eyes with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat. "I love you too, Alina. More than anything."With that, he kissed me again, t

_Alina's POV_In this ancient and mysterious forest, I led a team of werewolf warriors on a difficult journey to find a cure for the plague. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the damp ground, and the air was thick with the scent of decaying leaves and earth. The forest was alive with sounds: the rustling of leaves, the chirping of insects, and the distant calls of unseen creatures. Every step felt heavy with the weight of our mission, and the knowledge that failure was not an option.As night fell, the forest became even darker and more enigmatic. We found a small clearing and decided to make camp for the night. The warriors lit a campfire, its flickering light casting long shadows that danced eerily on the surrounding trees."Everyone stay close," I instructed in a firm voice. "This forest is dangerous, especially at night. Do not stray from the camp."The warriors nodded, though I noticed one of them, a tall and muscular werewolf named Torin, rol

_Alina's POV_My heart raced as my fingers almost touched the faintly glowing plant. The herb we had been seeking for days was finally within our reach. I could almost feel its power, the potential it held to save us all. I extended my hand, ready to pluck it from the forest floor when a sudden movement from the bushes caught my eye.Before I could react, a puppet leapt out, its swift and fierce movements accompanied by a suffocating stench. The creature was upon me in an instant, its eyes gleaming with malicious intent. "Watch out!" Athena warned loudly, but it was too late. The puppet, like black lightning, pounced on me with a terrifying ferocity.The weight of its body pinned me to the ground, and I nearly lost my grip on the herb. Its claws dug into my shoulders, and its sharp teeth snapped dangerously close to my throat. I couldn’t let this puppet stop me—not when we were so close.“Alina!” Athena’s voice in my mind was filled with panic.Fear filled my heart, but in this life-o

_Alina's POV_In the depths of the forest, I fought for my life. The air was thick with the scent of blood and dark magic. My warrior team and I were engaged in a deadly battle against the puppets. These creatures were unnaturally fierce, and it took all our strength to hold them back.One of the puppets lunged at me, its claws slashing through the air. I dodged to the side. The puppet snarled. Its eyes were filled with malevolence. It moved very quickly, and I was struggling to keep up."Watch out, Alina!" one of my warriors shouted, throwing himself between me and another puppet. He managed to fend it off, but not before it inflicted a deep gash on his arm."Thanks," I said, panting as I caught my breath. "We need to hold them off!"The battle raged on around us. One by one, my warriors fell, overwhelmed by the relentless attacks. I could feel despair creeping into my heart. We were losing.Athena spoke in my mind. "Alina, the puppets' weakness is their heart. Remember, just like hu
