I hate them

Chapter 18

Jolene's POV…

"How could you have accepted that challenge from Paulene? You should know that she is just stupid and dumb so you ought to have ignored her." Harrison said and I eyed him immediately.

"Don't dare speak I'll of my sister," I warned and Harrison bowed immediately.

"I am sorry Alpha, please forgive my manners." He apologized and I sighed.

Despite everything Paulene has done to me, despite her hatred for me, I still love her as a sister no matter how many times she pushes me away.

The fact that we aren't moving along pretty well breaks my heart, I have tried making sure we both settle our scores but she just wanted us to remain sworn enemies.

It's been three days since I accepted her challenge and tomorrow's evening is the day we will both be involved in a physical combat challenge.

Most of the members of the Lycan kingdom don't believe that my sister is jealous of me and so greedy for the throne.

The Lycan king and her sister have been the topic of most of the gossip in my pack.

I wasn't happy accepting to challenge my sister but what can I do? I need to prove to her that I am the kind of person that could be messed with, maybe she still sees me as that weak Jolene from years ago.

These past few days have been so hectic for me, being the Alpha of a kingdom isn't easy.

I am glad to have Harrison as my Beta, he is so hardworking and obedient.

So today, I have decided to come into the woods and take a long walk since the weather was cool.

I wasn't scared of rogues anymore, they all run to hiding places immediately they see me because they know many of their likes died by my hands.

"I have no choice than to accept it since that was what Paulene wanted but I am not just happy, I don't want to hurt my sister."

"Can't believe you still like her despite all the evil things she has done to you, she hates more than passion but you love her nevertheless, you have a heart of gold."

"My sister doesn't hate me, she is just being misled, she doesn't know what she is doing but I have faith that she will change for you. Why are you fueling the fire? Or you have some scores to settle with her?" I asked him and he gulped.

"No not at all, I have known Jolene for quite long and I know how violent she can be. I am sorry, I don't like her a bit." He confessed and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Whatever! I overheard when she was asking you to help her practice for tomorrow's challenge but you refused. So I need a favor from you Harrison, I you to go practice with her,"

Harrison disagreed immediately.

"I am sorry, I can't listen to you this time," he said and I sighed.

"It's just a practice and nothing more, just help her out."

"You won't just understand Alpha, you sister…" he suddenly stopped and I looked at him curiously.

Why did he stop talking?

"Don't worry, I will help her practice for the next twenty four hours," he mumbled out with a frowny look and I chuckled.

"You should go back to the pack, I would be fine alone, go start practicing with Paulene." I urged and he exhaled sharply.

"Don't worry, Paulene is not going to eat you up okay?" I joked patting his shoulders and he laughed.

"Are you sure you won't meet would be fine all alone at the woods,"

"Surs, I need to be alone for now, just go back and do what I asked you to do." I urged and he rushed off immediately.

I sighed and continued walking down the woods, it was quiet and silent as usual.

It seems all the rogues went into hiding because I haven't seen any.

I got to a stream and decided to take a quick bath since no one was watching.

I pulled off my robe and jumped into the water.

It was cold but refreshing. I swam for more than ten minutes before coming out.

I then put on my robe which was wet as a result of my wet body, it would dry before I got back to my pack.

My mind drifted to Paulene again and sighed, I sincerely don't know the reason why I was worried about her.

I wish we were on good terms, I wished she wasn't fighting or quarreling with me, we would have created sweet memories since we have been away from each other.

I sincerely don't know why Paulene is like this. I just keep praying and hoping she changes for good.

My parents had been so unhappy because of Paulene's attitude, I want to see them smile when they see us together.

I continued walking till I got to the boundary between the Lycan kingdom and the werewolves pack.

I stood at the boundary and gulped as memories from four years ago replayed in my head.

I couldn't help but fold my fist while thinking about Maverick, he must have probably gotten a strong and capable Luna for his pack like he had always wanted.

Those mean words he said to me that fateful night was still fresh in my memory, how can I ever forget that?

They must have all forgotten about me including my foster parents and Collins, I wonder how they are all faring.

A lot of things must have changed during the past four years, my foster family must have aged and Maverick, he would have grown more matured.

I sincerely can't wait to visit them all, they will be all shocked to see me.

I would love to see the shocked look on Maverick's face, the girl he once addressed as a weak wolf is now a Lycan king.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud, it sounds so funny to me.

I will be visiting them soon.
