I said, "Daina."
Ouch! I was speechless.
"Thanks, I was just passing by"
I grunted, keeping my eyes on the road.
I'll never forget how you saved my life.
Cara growled in my head, "You weren't passing by; you picked her up."
"Couldn't you have offered a better reason? "
"Quiet!"
I yelled.
I suppressed my feelings from Daina.
Daina's POV:
I was finally allowed to see the sun again after a week in the hospital.
I smiled while breathing the fresh air outdoors.
"Welcome, darling Daina," she rubbed my face.
"While you were gone, I was bored.
You're back! You recovered? "
I slowly nodded.
My gut churned as I recalled falling into the jungle trap.
"I think I was set up."
I was the only one that slipped into a trap and nearly perished during the forest excursion
There's no hunting.
Why a trap? It's illogical.
I must investigate.
I won't allow whomever laid this trap go
"Daina, you too?"Dason r's expression changed.
I want to tell you something when I visited you in the hospital, but you were sick, so I wait until you were home.
I let my ear rest on her lips when she beckoned me closer.
"That day, I saw a she-wolf in the jungle. She was sneaky and vigilant, which I found weird. I saw her wandering about a grassland for a long time. After your accident, my mind kept going back to that scene over and over again. It couldn't have been a coincidence."
I couldn't forget plunging into the deep abyss and getting stabbed.
"Maria?"
Her father had already harmed my family.
She won't let me go! It wasn't odd.
She failed to murder me then.
Now that she knew I was alive, she'd attempt to kill me so I couldn't seek vengeance.
We used to be buddies, but now a vast abyss seperated us.
To take retribution, I needed to solve this dilemma first.
I had no proof that Maria attempted to murder me.
Dason's one-sided remark didn't convince me it was Maria.
I'd be cautious about Maria.
The following day was sunny.
Jason took us swimming at the beach.
Most of us were bored and disliked training on the training ground.
The seashore changed everyone's mood.
All trainees want to try.
We headed to the beach with swimwear and diving glasses.
I squinted in the warm sand.
Dason
gripped my arm and spoke incessantly in the light.
"Do you enjoy the beach, Daina? The water is blue like the sky, and the air is soft and lovely. Daina, what's wrong? Do you enjoy the view? "
Inadvertently, I looked at Maria.
Her beautiful black bikini showed off her physique.
She established eye contact and grinned as she sensed my attention.
Her emotionless gaze and grin made me shiver.
I turned aside, not wanting to look at her, and start planning what to do afterwards.
"Ready, set, swim!"
Jason exclaimed.
Under his direction, we lined up and wade into the sea.
Jason was one of the first to enter the water and encouraged me when she realized I was still on the beach.
She said, "Daina, come here. Let's go."
I'll come shortly.
After hesitating on the beach, I pinched my lips together and waddled out.
I made my motions appear sloppy, like it was my first time swimming.
After witnessing all the trainees swim away, I slowly approached.
Except me, all the werewolves in swimming training appeared as comfortable as mermaids.
Everyone moved away from me.
Alone.
Before then, Maria was swimming ahead with everyone else, but I pretended not to notice her and swayed the water with my hands.
Maria slowed down, falling behind me.
I decided to act when I realized she was near enough.
I covered my chest and splashed a lot of water.
"Help!"
My legs kicked, but I continued sinAlpha.
My ailment prevents me from swimming. "Help! Jason…Oh…"
I swallowed water while speaking.
Uneven waves made me dizzy.
I cried for aid among the ups and downs, but the other trainees were too far away to hear me.
I pretended to be hurt and drowning to bring out the perpetrator.
Maria watching me? If she intended to murder me, she wouldn't give up.
This was the only method I could think of to lure my opponent out.
POV: Maria
Lucky Daina!
I thought she'd perish in the trap I prepared, but she survived.
She'd be unlucky next time.
She had to die.
She threatened me and my father every day she lived.
Something went amiss with Daina during sea swimming practice.
She was water-stupid.
She fell behind the other trainees quickly.
I liked the chance.
Nobody would suspect me if Daina drowned.
I surreptitiously watched Daina as I thought about how to fake her death.
I slowed down to avoid arousing her suspicion.
To my amazement, she swam far away with the other trainees and vanished.
Daina was alone.
While I was deciding how to handle her, I heard her scream.
I was ready.
I swam to her and saw her drowning.
She required aid getting out of the water due to her injuries.
God aided me. I feigned to be worried by holding Daina's hand.
"What's wrong, Daina? What's wrong? "
"My injury aches. I can't swim..."
Daina palely leaned on me.
"Can you land me? Please…"
She coughed so much she couldn't complete her sentence.
She then spit water.
Seeing her pale face increased my want to kill her.
Off-guard, I forced her head into the water.
If she drowned here, everyone would assume she perished from a training accident, and no one would suspect me.
Daina lost.
