Chapter 43 Chapter 43) Something wrong.
Alejandro squatted in front of her, and for a few seconds, he watched as she cried with her head lowered to the ground.
By pure instinct, his hand tried to reach out to touch her.
He wanted to comfort her, but the second he realized what he was doing, he stopped himself and could not believe it.
He also tried to ask again about Demira, but his pride didn't let him.
Rather, he went ahead and asked another question, “You were buried by him after he killed you. How did you escape and end up in Paradise City?”.
Sniffing her nose and lifting her head, Priscilla got confused as she stared at him. It was thanks to his question.
“Buried?”. She muttered. “Didn't he throw us out of the pack after he killed us?”. She was even more confused, as what Alejandro had said to her did not make any sense.
Because, if Kayson had buried her, how come when Demira regained her consciousness, she found herself outside the Joaken pack?
Nothing was adding up, neither did it make sense to her.
“He did not bury us. He disposed of our body”. She said to him, sounding sure, as if she had seen it herself.
Well, technically speaking, she did see it after Demira regained consciousness.
“He didn't throw you out. He buried you after killing you. Are you so dumb? Did neither you nor Demira notice how shocked he was after he saw you?”.
“That meant, to him, you were not supposed to be alive, because he made sure of it by burying you after killing you”.
Alejandro’s harsh words made it feel like a bomb had been thrown at her. Most especially, she was shocked that he had paid attention to Demira at the wedding.
“What?”. She said, and felt her blood boil.
As for Alejandro, he rose to his feet. “Follow me. I will have Doctor Jonathan check up on you to confirm what went wrong with Demira”. He said to her, with his hand stretched out towards her, as he expected her to accept his hand and rise up to her feet with his help.
‘What is wrong with me today?’. He thought after he did that.
And that was when his Lycan, Alec, said to him with a groan, ‘You must make sure that Demira is alright’. Upon hearing what Alec said to him, that was when he was completely convinced that something was wrong with not only him, but both of them.
Did she perhaps cast a spell on them?
Or was this another of the moon goddess’s tricks against him?
He couldn't help but wonder, as he could not think of any other explanations.
Priscilla stared at him for a while.
She also stared at his hand that was stretched out towards her.
Suddenly, she wiped off the tears on her cheeks using the back of her hand, before she rose up to her feet on her own.
“I don't need your help”. She said to him with a frown, and turned, not hesitating as she left the Lycan hall without caring to look behind her. In her mind, he was still a monster.
And one way or the other, she was going to make him pay for the pain he had caused her and Demira.
But as for now, her focus was on Kayson.
Since Alejandro was aware of her and Demira's identity but did nothing about it, she was glad that she would be able to act against Kayson as she saw fit.
She was going to make him and Elora bleed. She was going to make life become a living hell for them.
But for that to happen, she must pay a secret visit to Joaken pack as soon as she fully recovered.
Though, how was she going to do that? In the end, she needed Alejandro’s approval.
And that was annoying.
She did not want to plead with a man like him, because he didn't deserve it.
…
“Today is definitely going to be a fruitful day for me”. Kate said to herself and had not felt happier before.
Just some hours ago, she was sitting on a bench that was positioned under a tree, and was wondering how she was going to get a job in the Lycan King's mansion.
But who knew that the moon goddess was going to pave a way for her?
According to what she heard, a few maidservants ran away from the mansion, but they were caught and expelled.
She has no clue what happened to them after they were expelled. All she knew about was the notice she saw on the moonlight pack's official local news wall.
The Lycan King's mansion needed some maidservants at the mansion to assist Luna Demira. Tsk. That was the kind of news she had been hoping to hear, and now that it finally came, she didn't see the need to hesitate.
She had already dressed up.
She had dressed into her cheapest dress.
Actually, all the clothes she had brought with her, although brand-new, she made sure that they were low quality clothes, as she could not risk blowing up her disguise as a helpless orphan.
“Let's go, Kate. Let's go get that job!”. She declared with sparkling eyes, before she went out of her room and was on her way to the Lycan King's mansion.
How she wished she could shift into her wolf form right now, since she was finally free to do so.
Unfortunately, she hasn't fully awakened her wolf. Meaning, she could not do that right now, but could only use the strength of her partially awakened wolf.
She really was looking forward to the day she was fully going to awaken her wolf.
