"Let's beat her up and break her legs so she can't escape away. Then we can fuck her slowly!
It was the worst moment of my life.
I was black and blue, like a lamb awaiting slaughter. All my bones hurt.
Even breathing hurt.
I tightened my teeth and said, "Assholes!" I'll get even! "
"What a stubborn b*tch. Beat her!"
The werewolves didn't take my warning seriously and proceeded to attack me.
That traitor was now seating in my father's place with immeasurable grandeur.
This made me so furious I shook. To live! I had a mission. My body suddenly erupted with strength.
I threw off all the werewolves holding me down in one sweep.
Standing, I punched one of them. I kicked another werewolf in the breast."
I used my fists and feet to quickly kill all the werewolves.
My whole body hurt, yet I fought back. I proudly stood before them.
I clinched my hands and glared. I felt ill seeing them.
I could feel terror in their eyes despite my messiness.
"Monster! Monster! yelled one.
My power surpasses that of a normal werewolf. Maybe I had Alpha blood.
"Guys, this chick shouldn't terrify you! She's only a weak slave who's alone. How could we lose to her? "
One of the werewolves refused to acknowledge defeat and encouraged the others to fight with me.
I grabbed him by the collar and tossed him away.
He flew 10 meters before landing and sliding to a man's feet.
I looked up and saw Alpha William's astonished eyes.
Luna Elizebeth and Prince Stephan Buther flanked Alpha William.
Alpha William looked like he'd seen a ghost.
Prince Stephan Buther glanced at me with a hint of interest.
Knowing this was my greatest opportunity, I swiftly approached Prince Stephan Buther, looked into his eyes, ", may I participate in the trials with my strength?"
I kept my voice despite being scared.
"she's a slave. Don't let her ruin your sight!"
Alpha William yelled for werewolves to take me away.
Several arms hauled me up, but I didn't protest.
Keeping my eyes on Prince Stephan Buther, I asked again whether I might participate.
"Release her."
Prince Stephan Buther frowned and said it.
He then walked ahead.
My injuries were catching up to me, my head fuzzy, yet I gazed at Prince Stephan Buther.
"Okay,"
Indifferently, Prince Stephan Buther remarked.
I faintly sensed hands grab me as I lost consciousness.
I was hugged.
POV of Prince Stephan Buther
I grabbed her. My heart raced as she fell into my arms.
I didn't find her unclean despite being in blood and mud.
I never envisaged meeting my partner in the Green woods pack.
At the welcoming ceremony, I first saw her.
Her mate bond scent knocked my breath away. Seeing her made my heart race.
I didn't respond, however.
It was public, so many eyes were on me.
Daina's cool response surprised me.
If another she-wolf recognized I was their mate, they would have leaped up and told everyone.
I'd seen many gorgeous she-wolves, but my mate was wise, sensible, and self-conscious.
She had attributes I admired. I never want a partner.
My mum want me to find a partner.
My mother's health has been terrible since my father's death in combat.
I couldn't let my mum die with sorrow now that I'm married.
My mother needed Daina's support.
"Stephan Buther, you definitely like her. Don't limit yourself. This is a mate connection.
Cara, my wolf, yelled in my head, interrupting me.
I informed him, "I don't want a mate."
"Things are different now. You like her. Don't deny it. And quit blaming your mother."
"I don't like her."
"Fine! Accept her for your mother and myself. "
"Yes! When did we last see a girl that determined? She's adept at fighting. She doesn't appear like an average werewolf. I saw resolve in her eyes just now. She wants to get stronger. a She's suitable partner for you."
Cara was correct.
With proper training, she'd be formidable. So I let her join the trials.
I gazed down at Daina, who was asleep in my arms.
"TAKE HER HOME."
Next morning, I arrived just as the trial began.
I looked for Daina but couldn't locate her.
Yesterday, she appeared to value the trials, so her absence was puzzling.
Was she hurt yesterday and late? Everyone wait for me to start the trials.
"The trial is delayed. Let's wait for everyone."
This made everyone unhappy. Why await a slave?
The throng murmured in displeasure.
Daina finally arrived, gasping
"Don't keep us waiting! Kneel and apologize to everyone!"
Daina's face became pale at the crowd's insults and taunts.
I said, "Noisy participants will be disqualified."
When my voice dropped, everyone hushed.
I told Daina, "You're late."
Daina answered politely, "Yes, Mr. Stephan Buther."
I anticipated her trial performance.
She had my hope.
"Trials begin!"
All werewolves were paired.
Each pair of werewolves fought, and the winner advanced.
Three werewolves were chosen for elite training.
Everyone pushed hard to make the top three.
Daina beat a large, rugged she-wolf, who pleaded for mercy.
She then defeated every opponent. She dominated the werewolf.
As if they'd forgotten she was a slave, they applauded and cheered for her.
Daina battled like a warrior, even while hurt. She attacked quickly and viciously, ignoring her own safety.
Four werewolves survived the opening round.
"Sophie Lively, Serena Heri, and Daina Barry! The second phase will be a group fight. The four of you will compete in a circle, and the first to fall out will be eliminated. The other three will join elite training."
They soon entered the competitive field.
Daina, like the other three, was injured in yesterday's combat.
She was the sickest of the four.
During this round, two she-wolves attacked her.
Daina was pallid. I was scared she'd collapse, but she resisted and answered calmly to their assaults.
She was disadvantaged after multiple clashes.
The single male contestant in the field attacked the other two she-wolves, knocAlpha one out of the circle.
I liked Daina.
When I saw a man competitor rescue her, I exploded.
