Chapter 25 Twenty five
Moreover, no other she-wolf's voice was as sharp and unpleasant as hers.
The prince's attendants yanked her hair back.
When Vivian 's gaze met mine, her eyes became filled with hatred.
I quickly understood what was going on.
It was clear that Vivian had just been exposed for slander because she had been spreading rumors that I seduced Thomas.
Back in the black eye Pack, Luna Zoe had pleaded for Vivian's case.
But now, nobody stepped up to do so for her.
Thomas had already forgiven her once.
I wasn't sure if he would forgive her for a second time.
Vivian was going to be expelled.
As Vivian was dragged away, she glared at me and shouted, "Brenda, you bitch! I will make your life a living hell one day!"
Her loud threat resounded throughout the whole training ground.
The prince's attendants took her away, and her voice lowered in volume until it eventually disappeared.
My world was finally quiet for the time being.
Without Vivian and her constant interruptions, my training life improved drastically.
But my good mood didn't last long because Thomas had yet to return to the training ground since then.
He used to come here almost every day to monitor each session.
Was he sick? Has something happened to him? I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This worry of mine lasted for a few days.
I couldn't help glancing at the entrance of the training ground occasionally, hoping to see Thomas make his entrance.
One morning, Thomas entered the training ground, followed by a group of werewolves.
I felt instantly relieved.
It was good to see that he was fine.
The werewolves who trailed after Thomas was as young as us.
He must have left to select the second batch of trainees.
No wonder he had been gone for so long.
However, like a cruel trick of fate, I noticed a she-wolf walking behind Thomas.
My hands curled into fists so hard that my palms started to bleed.
Even the smell of blood couldn't distract me from the hatred that boiled in my heart.
Brenda's POV:
This she-wolf was the most eye-catching among the new batch of trainees.She was wearing the training uniform.
Her wine red hair danced with the wind, and her face looked even more beautiful because of her smile.Everyone looked at her in amazement as she introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Jessica Mackenzie."
When she caught sight of me, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
I felt cold all over as if I had been trapped in an ice cave.
Jessica Mackenzie was a name that I never wanted to hear for the rest of my life.
I had a deep hatred for her family.
Jessica was the daughter of Perez Mackenzie.
Perez Mackenzie used to be my father's Beta.
Together with a bunch of traitors, he rebelled against my father, killed him, and then took the position of Alpha.
He also forced me and my older brother to leave our pack.
We got separated halfway, and I still have no idea where he was.
Now Perez Mackenzie's daughter, who used to be my good friend, stood before me for the first time since her father took away my father's position as Alpha.
The situation was ridiculous.
I used to treat Jessica as my best friend, but I could never forget the smug look on her face while I was hunted down.
Jessica had always been jealous of me for being the daughter of the Alpha.
She could not accept that she was the daughter of the Beta.
However, before Perez Mackenzie carried out his dastardly plan, she pretended to be on good terms with me.
It was not until her father killed mine that she finally revealed her true colors.She helped her father hunt me down.
Jessica must be surprised to see that I wasn't dead.We stood there, just looking at each other.
When our eyes met, an invisible storm brewed between us. Jessica's appearance aroused my hatred.
Her existence reminded me that I still had a deep-seated grudge.
But I had nowhere to vent my anger and pain.
I couldn't take revenge on her here nor could I tell anyone what had happened between us.
I could only keep everything to myself.
Because the new trainees had a different program than we did, I didn't have any interactions with Jessica.
She didn't approach me nor did she give any indication that she knew me.
A few days later, the drillmaster ordered the new trainees and the old ones to explore the jungle together.
I have been listless the past few days, but I decided to cheer up and focus on the task at hand so I could leave the jungle as soon as possible.
It was so quiet in the jungle, and the silence made me drop my guard.
Out of nowhere, I heard someone shouting for help some distance ahead of me.
Was there a trainee who was in danger? I rushed in the direction of the voice.
I hadn't been running long when I stepped on a withered branch and the ground gave way beneath my feet.
"Argh!" My body dropped sharply.
I reached out for something to hold onto, but I failed to grab anything and I fell to the bottom of the trap.
My bones cracked and pain shot through every part of my body.
I had fallen into a very deep pit with sharp sticks at the bottom.
Several of them went through my body, leaving me immobile.
Aside from the pain I felt, I smelled my own blood.
I could feel the blood flowing out of my new wounds and dripping to the ground.
At the rate I was losing blood, I was going to be in critical danger.
I gritted my teeth to endure the pain and tried my best to pull myself out of the sticks.
But when I fell, I fractured several parts of my body, and the only arm that didn't get pierced through was broken.
I tried many times, but I couldn't move.The harder I tried, the faster I bled.
