2546 Words
Guys, Jennifer's POV: "Jennifer!" A scream made me jump, followed by the noisy sound of iron shoes hitting the wooden floor. It seemed that many people were coming this way. While I didn't understand what had happened, the door to the room was kicked open. Two tall soldiers entered and rushed towards me. "What's up…?" I was bewildered, and before I could finish my sentence, the other two soldiers, without saying a word, came up and grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me to my feet. "What's the matter? Let go of me, let go of me!" I shouted, but to no avail; my strength compared to the other two soldiers was like an ant to two elephants. I was quickly dragged out of the room by them without an answer. They dragged me out of the room, and I struggled, not knowing what I had done wrong; at least they told me something. But no, they kept pulling me away; I worked but then gradually exhausted and gave in. But I found the scene gradually familiar when I was dragged for a while. This is where Alpha Norman resides… After all, what is there? I tried to stay calm, searched my memory to see what I did wrong in the end, and mentally prepared for the worst. When I got there, I immediately saw the person I didn't want to see the most… Barbara. The way she looked at me was filled with provocation and smugness. Before my eyes left her, I was thrown to the ground. At that moment, two wolves suddenly came forward and slapped me several times. "Alpha Norman, why are you doing this?" Deep inside, I was extremely surprised. I fell to the ground, my head was dizzy, and my cheeks burned as if I had just been dipped in a pan of oil. I couldn't believe looking at Alpha Norman. By this point, I might have secretly guessed that the reason for this was Barbara. At this point, Alpha Norman sat upright in an authoritarian posture. "Remember your identity. Next time you dare to cross the line, I won't be so kind to you." I bit my lip, trying to swallow the pain inside, my hands clutching the ground, trying to hold back my anger and humiliation. At this moment, Alpha Norman suddenly said: "In two days, Sir Anthony Jones will be here and selecting some elite werewolves to train at the royal training ground. Jennifer, you'd better prepare for the welcome ceremony and the trials. challenge. Don't spoil it, or I'll keep you alive!" I suddenly remembered hearing Alpha Norman mention this, trying to suppress my anger. They say one step back but three steps forward. I have to be patient for the future and the big picture ahead. So I asked, "Can I take part in the trial?" Alpha Norman looked at Jennifer from top to bottom with unconcealable disdain. "You? Who do you think you are? How dare a slave take on the challenge? Don't have ridiculous fantasies like this! You're not qualified. Do your job well. Don't let your mind wander. toss," he growled. Watching Jennifer get a pin down makes me feel delighted. "Only werewolves of noble blood are eligible for the challenge. Do you think you're worthy of that chance?" Barbara scoffed further as she looked at my pale face. "What if I qualify?" I said firmly. "In your dreams!" Barbara retorted, rolling her eyes. "Jennifer, a lowly slave like you, just deserves to be trampled by me forever!" "Do you think you're noble? What makes you dare to say such nonsense in front of Alpha Norman? If I'm just a slave, why do you always make things confusing for me? I despise him from the bottom of my heart. heart!" I glared at her. "You look down on me?" Barbara's temper improved, causing her to forget about being civilized in public. She lunged at me no matter what. "b***h, I'll rip your mouth out!" Barbara rushed over. At that moment, as a survival instinct revived, I blocked her attack with my elbow, kicked her stomach and scratched her arm. Barbara groaned in pain, covering her stomach with her ears and looking at the bloody scratches on her arms. She almost went crazy for me. "You bastard! How dare you hurt me?!" Barbara didn't even care about her messy hair. She knew that her appearance must be terrible right now. She didn't expect that she couldn't even defeat an enslaved person. "Miss Barbara, you asked for it." I looked at her coldly. Finally, Alpha Norman growled, putting an end to our fight. "Jennifer, prepare for the ceremony. I don't want to repeat my orders again." Alpha Norman won't give me the severe punishment Barbara expected. Her goal was not achieved. She was not satisfied at all. She will have to find another way to punish this b***h. It would be best if she could make my life a living hell. Suddenly, she had the perfect idea. o0o As per Alpha Norman's strict instructions, I began to prepare for the welcome ceremony and the trials, and tried my best to not make any mistakes. While I was busy working, I heard my wolf crying in my mind. "Eva, what's wrong?" I asked. "We were rejected by our mate." "I'm sorry. I have accepted his rejection." "You don't have to apologize. I know he won't be a good mate. But still, I can't help feeling sad." "We might not have another mate, " I said dejectedly. She stopped crying at once and said, "That's impossible! I believe that the Moon Goddess will give us a second chance." "Maybe. But after last time, I don't have much expectations for my mate." "Be optimistic! By the way, Jennifer, you haven't told me your birthday wish yet." To my surprise, I seem to have forgotten about this. "My birthday wish? I want to become stronger so that I can take revenge!" Although Alpha Norman had clearly told me that I couldn't participate in the trials, I didn't give up. Becoming stronger was my only goal. I will never forget the way Beta Arthur killed my father and took over the pack. Only when I became stronger could I successfully take revenge! Two days later, on the day of the welcome ceremony, the Dark River Pack was bustling. All the werewolves of the pack gathered in the square, and there was a long line to welcome the prince. Everyone was excited about seeing him in person. At noon, Prince Anthony Jones of the Osman Kingdom finally arrived with a group of lycan guards. The square was covered with expensive red carpet, and firecrackers were being set off everywhere, filling the area with loud crackling noises. Prince Anthony was wearing a blue military uniform, with a lot of medals pinned on his chest. He had a handsome chiseled face, but with delicate facial features that made him look noble. He was tall and sturdy, with a serious expression on his face. There was a dignified aura around him that was befitting of royalty. Every step he took made the she-wolves gathering in the square scream like crazy. However, sensing his innate coldness, they did not dare to approach him, and could only settle for admiring him from afar. "He's so handsome! Oh my God! I have never seen such a handsome man before." "Who can avoid falling in love with such a handsome and powerful man? What's more, he is the prince of the Osman Kingdom! He comes from a noble and supreme background." "God, I'm falling in love with him." Many of the she-wolves were gushing. Some of them even started daydreaming about getting close to him. But I wasn't in the mood to look down on them. I just stared at Prince Anthony in utter disbelief. Suddenly, at this very moment, I smelled a unique fragrance coming from Prince Anthony, which was even stronger than what I had smelled from Henry. I stared blankly at the man in front of me, trying to smell the scent in the air, this was like a dream, I was afraid it was some mistake, I took a deep breath, the nerves in my head tense, my heart did not dare to beat. No, how could this happen? My mate keeps showing up? Eva excitedly paced around my mind. "Jennifer, he's our mate!" to be his mate?" "He is your mate, " Eva insisted cheerfully. At this moment, Prince Anthony turned and looked straight at me. My heart pounded wildly against my chest, and I could barely breathe. The prince must have found out that I was his mate! But what would he do? He was in such a high position that he definitely couldn't accept me as his mate. Did that mean he would reject me immediately? I wanted to see his reaction, but he remained expressionless. After staring at me for a moment, he looked away. Then, he continued to walk forward. The she-wolves standing near me screamed and jumped up in excitement. "Did you see that? The prince looked at me just now. Do you think he likes me?" "Stop talking nonsense! He was looking at me!" These group of idiots were still daydreaming. If they knew the real reason why the prince l ooked here, how would they react? Of course, I didn't dare to say a word. If I told anyone that Prince Anthony was my mate, they would think that I was delusional. There were too many werewolves here. The prince probably hadn't shown any reaction on his face, because he didn't want people to find out that I was his mate. But I believed that he would find an opportunity to reject me in private. After the initial shock wore off, I consoled myself. The Moon Goddess must have made a mistake this time. Prince Anthony was not someone that I could even think about being with. The most important thing for me to do now was to become stronger so that I could take revenge. At this moment, Alpha Norman was greeting the prince with Luna Debra, kneeling on one knee and bowing to him in fear. "Welcome, Mr. Jones, " Alpha Norman said with an ingratiating smile on his face. I couldn't help but scoff after watching him grovel like that. He might be the Alpha of the Dark River Pack, but so what? In front of Prince Anthony, he was nothing. Even though Prince Anthony was surrounded by the crowd, his expression didn't change at all. Every movement of his betrayed his extraordinary nobility. Even Alpha Norman treated him with the utmost respect. How could I be the mate of an exceptional man like him? However, I still wanted to participate in the trials and be selected by him. Looking at the prince who stood in the midst of the crowd, I made up my mind that, no matter what, I couldn't give up hope. Being selected to go to the royal training ground would be the first step to achieving my ultimate goal. But for that, I first had to find Prince Anthony and ask him to allow me to take part in the trials. I was hoping that he would make an exception for me and allow me to participate in the trials for the sake of our mate bond, if nothing else. But I didn't get a chance to approach him at all. After the welcome ceremony, I tiredly dragged myself back to my room. The trials will be held tomorrow, so I don't have much time left. After thinking for a while, I decided to go to the prince’s residence to talk to him there. Of course, the prince’s residence was heavily guarded. As a slave, I wouldn't be able to just walk in and see him. But I had to try my luck. And I know that I won't know the results if I don't try. In the afternoon, I prepared to go to see the Prince. I stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time because, in reality, I don't have many clothes, and they are straightforward. Remembering the dresses I had when I was in X, I suddenly felt heartbroken; at that time, my mother was always the one to take care of me and make up for me. But those pains and regrets also motivate me to live in the present. I cheered up, then chose a simple outfit. Maybe, I should be accurate, the person who loves me will like me in any way, but if that person only loves me because I'm beautiful and fake, that liking can disappear at anytime... It doesn't matter if the pants are light. It just matters that I look clean and neat. I combed my hair, stood in front of the mirror, and turned around a few times; after ensuring my appearance, I left. I carefully opened the door and looked out, and after making sure no one was there, I stepped out. I was apprehensive inside; what if Barabra found out about me and she would make me cry easily? But luckily, she didn't show up, and I managed to get out. Coming to the street, the rock in my heart seemed to be unloaded. I smoothed my shirt one more time before walking away. There are many people on the street right now, but the noise around me doesn't seem to affect me. My mind is currently "rehearsing" the words I will say to the Prince to convince him... I was walking on the street when, at that moment, a hand suddenly covered my mouth from behind. I rolled my eyes, and my mind immediately cleared up, but before I could protest, I was dragged into a convenient room—nearby benefits. When I heard the sound of the door being locked, my heart trembled, and I had a bad feeling. The hand covering my mouth finally withdrew. "Who are you?" My voice was shaking in fear. I heard the sound of footsteps getting louder. Several people were approaching me. When I turned around, I saw several werewolves in rags, rubbing their hands together and coming over with obscene smiles. I recognized them at once. They were all Omegas of the pack. "Jennifer, you're so beautiful." The werewolf at the front licked his lips, with undisguised desire in his eyes. "Miss Barbara treats us well. She found such a good girl for us." My heart dropped to my stomach. It was Barbara again! She had literally thrown me to these wolves. Of course, I couldn't just sit still and wait for death. I forced myself to calm down and glared at them. "You'd better stay away from me." I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, making myself look as aggressive as possible. "If you dare to act rashly, I will fight with you to the death." "Ha! Fight us to the death?" The werewolf at the front raised his head and laughed wildly. "Who do you think you are? You have slept with a lot of men, He waved his hand and nodded to the rest of the werewolves. "go ahead!"
