169Reynold’s PovI felt furious after she left and only stared at the trainees. The fact that they were not skilled enough to do what I wanted against her was annoying.“Are you certain that you all want to do well in the contests? None of you could shoot correctly at her!” I yelled at them as I felt my anger rising.“We’re sorry, Alpha. But she kept dodging it.” One of the females voiced out and my eyes scanned around for her among the other trainees.“If your enemy was right here, about to strike you, that’s how you’re going to explain to your ancestors when you’re dead that the enemy was dodging all your hits and that’s why you couldn’t save yourself. Right?”“Uhm… I…I…”“Get out of here and never come back to train under me.” I uttered and her eyes widened in shock and she came running towards me.“Alpha, please don’t do this to me. I’m sorry. I… I’ll watch my words next time.” She pleaded with sobs.“I don’t want people who watch their words. It’s what’s in their heart that I ne
168Alyssa’s PovThe trainees all began to shoot their arrows at me, and I began to dodge them all. About two arrows were so close to getting to my eyes, but I bent and even when more arrows were about to hit me while I bent, I swiftly avoided them, also remembering one of the practices which Daniel and I had engaged in several times.I also ensured that the bottle of water that I was holding was safe or that would mean that my plan against Reynold won’t work.“Come on!” Reynold urged his trainees and I could see that he was already beginning to get cranky and riled up. This was just so funny but the only thing I did was smile as laughing could distract me and all.Soon, their arrows had all been used, and I stood upright with my chest heaving up and down while I was breathing heavily from dodging a lot of arrows. Oh, goodness. Daniel, thanks for teaching me all these, and being there for me all the time that I needed you.Reynold walked up to me with an angry expression, and his fist
167Lionel’s PovI would have loved to participate in training people who are interested in getting better at their skills and ensuring that they are able to win the contests, but there was no way Reynold or any of the others would allow me to do that.The fact that they just treat me like a ghost and disregard whatever I think or say, makes me feel riled up and annoyed.I picked up the letter which I had gotten this morning from one of the guards on my side, and I sat on the bed to read it.Dear Lionel,I want you to remain calm when it comes to your half brothers and however they treat you. Remember that we have our plans and they must work. Observe and learn before you strike, and about the girl, tell me more and what I need to know in your next letter.I tore the letter into pieces, chewed it and threw it into the basket dump that was at the corner of my room.It was difficult to remain calm, but I had no choice, anyway. If that was all it was going to take to get things right onc
166Alyssa’s PovIt’s been about three days since the last incident that happened to me. Although, I was really curious to find out how I was drugged, but all ways to find out never really worked.The guard who tried to take advantage of me was found dead and the maid who poured me a glass of water denied it and Reece attested to it that she has been a very good maid and he couldn’t picture her doing something that evil.So, I just had to give up on finding the truth, but then, it simply means that I would have to be careful from now on as I can’t really tell if anyone is trying to play tricks on me.I let out a sigh as I leaned on the balcony rails and looked around.“What’s going to be your first step of revenge, Alyssa?” I asked myself with my eyes fixed on the pack surroundings.I already got the first step which was to get myself in here and ensuring that I don’t leave. The next thing was to get ready for my revenge steps.Suddenly, a knock came on the door and I glanced towards
165Reece’ PovI immediately dashed in and gave the guard a kick which sent him to the floor. Then I rushed towards Alyssa who was looking a little scared, but weak.Her lips were dry and her face looked a little pale.“Alyssa, are you okay? How do you feel?” I asked her, out of concern.But she was only staring at me weakly and unable to move her lips. Definitely, something was wrong with her.I turned to look at the guard who was about to run off, but I grabbed him by the collar and pushed his back against the wall harshly.“What did you do to her!” I questioned him out of anger.“A…Alpha…. I swear it. I… I didn’t do anything to her.” The guard muttered out with trembling lips.“Then explain how you were trying to take advantage of her.”Just as I said that, he couldn’t say a word and I dragged him out as there was not much time to waste due to Alyssa. I didn’t know what was going on with her, but I had to find out before things would get out of hand.“Hey, you! Fetch the physician
164Alyssa’s PovAir was becoming a hassle for me to breathe in at this moment and I knew I had to do something about it before it would become late.Immediately, I kicked him in his groin and he backed off and groaned in pain. That was a moment for me to escape from his grip, so I immediately ran into the room and shut the door behind me before I locked it up.My chest was heaving up and down and I sucked in breath which came out heavily.“Gosh! What the hell!” I managed to say as my back slid against the door until my butt was on the floor.I buried my face in my palm and sniffled, still feeling my blood cold and my fingers trembling. The fact that he acted this crazy made me a little scared, but I was not about to show that to him.After gaining back my strength and getting myself, I got up from the floor and headed to the bathroom to have another shower as I felt a little dirty.I turned on the shower after pulling off my clothes and enjoyed as the water poured on my head and stre
