(Alexa's POV)
After which, having no one to talk to, I closed my eyes to rest. I didn't even know that I had already fallen asleep in his arms. All I felt at that moment was that I was in the safest place, comforting me in a way that I didn't need to worry anymore about anything else.
"Wow, you bring a woman this time, huh?"
Suddenly, I heard a voice of a lady, pulling me back from my deep sleep. Slowly, I opened my eyes.It was already morning.
"Who the hell is she?"
"Why is Alpha holding her?"
Again, I heard the same voice somewhere around me. Only then did I recall that someone had woken me up from my sleep earlier. I shifted my gaze again and there I saw the woman who had just spoken.
But looking at her expression, she appeared not in a good mood at the sight of me. One of her eyebrows was raised against me as she didn't even bother to hide her displeasure when looking at me. What was with this woman? I couldn't help but frown a bit the moment I saw her.
"She's just someone I picked somewhere in the wild. I have some business to deal with. From now on, she will be in your care. You will train and teach her everything she needs to learn." Ezekiel replied nonchalantly.
But what happened the next moment had immediately jolted me completely awake. Just like the last time, I suddenly felt I was falling, only to hear a loud thud the next moment. Although I managed to stretch my arms to support my upper body, I failed to save my ass, thus, it received most of the damage from the impact. I didn't need to think twice to know that Ezekiel, that bastard, dropped me off carelessly again.
"You..." I clenched my teeth indignantly as I glared at Ezekiel. "You bastard! Why do you always hurt me?! Can't you at least be more gentle..."
But he didn't care, he turned around and left. How rude!
"Hey!" I was about to go after him...
Sapak!
I had just finished my words when suddenly, something really hard hit my cheek, taking me by shock. I was yet to realize what had just happened when suddenly, someone grabbed my cheeks and pulled me up from the ground. I was hanged in the grip of that someone's hand as that someone lifted me in the mid-air.
"Ah! Let... Let..."
I struggled, but I was too weak to retaliate. I could only grab the other party's hand, hoping the other party to remove the grip off my face. Still, I was like a helpless lamb in the hand of a vicious wolf. I felt a suffocating pain.
"Say that again, you little bitch. How dare you speak ill words to the great Rogue Alpha, the savior of our lives?!"
And then I heard a voice full of anger. Only then did I catch sight of that someone holding me helpless. But why wasn't I surprised the moment I saw her? In fact, it was to the point that I already expected her to act violently against me.
"Heh, you don't have a wolf?" And she didn't forget to humiliate me.
It was no other than the woman from a little while ago. I didn't know why, but this woman was really hot-blooded against me. I didn't recall offending her in any way though. What was her problem with me?
"Elle." When I thought that the other party would continue her aggression, a voice so cold, yet warming my heart, suddenly spoke. I could tell that it was Ezekiel who had just spoken. Was he about to save me this time?
"She's mine to eat. You should know that I hate anyone who messes with my things, right?"
Ezekiel's words were like cold water pouring the small flicker of fire within me. To think that this guy didn't really want to save me. He just didn't want anyone else to touch his things. Basically, he still thought of me as his thing and not a person. More precisely, he thought of me as his food to eat. But what else could I expect from such a wicked man?
Meanwhile, the woman, whose name was Elle, finally hesitated. Realizing her situation, she clicked her tongue in dejection as she finally let go of me. Although the way she did it was harsher as she threw me down to the ground more carelessly than how Ezekiel did it.
"Please forgive me, Rogue Alpha. I'm just trying to teach her a lesson just as you ordered me. Didn't you say I need to teach her everything she needs to learn? I think she should learn to respect Alpha first." Elle responded with a tone of voice that felt so sarcastic.
“...” Her words tightened my heart. I couldn't find a word to retort as I could only glare at her fiercely. If only I had the strength to back me up...
"She doesn't need to learn these" To my surprise, Ezekiel spoke again, seemingly trying to defend me. He walked closer to the woman named Elle as his hand moved swiftly to grab her cheeks. "She's different, she's special."
"Special? " Elle, despite having a hard time speaking, couldn't help but ask in response. Her eyes started to tear up, her tone revealed something like jealousy.Even from a distance, I could see her body shaking as she replied with a tone containing anger, "Then why are you treating her like someone special?"
"Elle, You have asked too many questions." Ezekiel's tone suddenly became exceedingly cold. His hand started to reveal some furs as sharp nails started to sprout from the tips of his fingers. " Did I teach you to run your mouth like this? Are you seeking death?" He tightened his grip on Elle's cheeks as he lifted her in the mid-air. But upon seeing the other party who had just closed her eyes in response to him, it appeared like he changed his mind as he let go of her.
That gave relief to Elle although she was now panting as if she was having a hard time catching up some breaths.
“Now, can I entrust her to you?”
"Do I still have a choice?" Elle replied with a question, averting her gaze away. As indignant as she was about the matter, there was no way on earth could she defy the wishes of the Rogue Alpha.
"Good. I will think of it as you accepting my offer." Ezekiel replied nonchalantly as he finally turned around and started to walk his way to leave the place.
But just as he took a couple of steps forward, Elle suddenly spoke again, "Does it matter what method I use to train her?"
Ezekiel halted his steps as he took a moment of pause before he responded, "It doesn't matter. Just make sure you ‘train’ her." He made sure to emphasize the word "train" in his words. And then he added with his voice that seemed to go cold, "Be it the method of an assassin or a warrior or a hunter, as long as she's not as useless as she is now"
"She's fragile as shit. You won't blame me if she suddenly breaks down, right?" Elle asked again warily. But a cunning and sly tone could be heard from her tone of voice.
"Depending on my mood..." Ezekiel replied lazily as he started walking unhurriedly again. I thought Elle's question would end there but suddenly, she spoke again.
"One last question, Ezekiel. What's her name?" Her question caught me off guard. Now that I think about it, I hadn't introduced myself to Ezekiel yet.
"Ah..." As I thought, Ezekiel was lost for words. He shifted his gaze at me as he spoke again, "Come to think of it, I don't even know your name."
I thought he would go ask me my name that was why I was prepared to ignore him to pay him back for all the things he had done to me. But what he did the next moment made my veins pop out on my head involuntarily.
"Just ask her or call her whatever you want," Ezekiel replied with an annoying tone. "It's not like it matters to me."
After which, he continued walking away again. I tried to smile seeing him leaving, but I ended up gritting my teeth. This bastard, did he really not care about me or even knowing who I am?
"My name is Alexa! Alexa Mondragon!" I didn't wait for that brute woman to ask me my name as I shouted, trying to engrave my name into Ezekiel's brain.
"Remember my name!"
But to my frustration, he simply continued to walk away as though he didn't hear a thing at all. Until he finally disappeared from my sight.
That made me grit my teeth even harder. I knew Ezekiel was a bastard. But him frustrating me from time to time was really too much for me. Damn, what the hell? What was I thinking? I better not get myself too carried away and beg for his attention and better treatment.
They were going to train me and make me strong. It was almost a godsend.I narrowed my eyes as I stared coldly at the empty space. I just recalled the things that happened to me lately.
Savage Tyranny pack...
Now that I was free and was given a chance to redeem myself, I would make sure to get stronger and exact my revenge in the future. All of you would regret banishing me to slavery!
‘‘Should I intervene?’’ Alexa suddenly muttered. She put her gaze at the wolves fighting against each other for victory as she couldn't help but fall silent. But in the end, Alexa breathed a long sigh, shaking her head slowly. Now that she thought about it, she felt like interfering to such a fight would only make her appear lowering herself at the same level as ants.And also, she should at least give Elle a chance to prove her value by at least dealing with those ants. If she ended up dying fighting them, then it could only mean that this was really her time and her journey ended here. Still, Alexa hoped that something like that wouldn't happen.With that in mind, Alexa turned around and left to do other business. With all the mess that happened here, there should be anything worth her interest, right? Like the other survivors of the Savage Tyranny pack hiding in the holes. If she ever found even a single person, she would surely turn that into a meat paste.Soon, Alexa finished exp
Crash!Beta Miguel received the giant paw with as if widely open arms. He received it without even having the chance to block it. As a result, it almost caused him his life.Unfortunately, the furious attack didn't end there. After giving Beta Miguel a good hit, Elle raised her paw again. Right now, Beta Miguel was on the ground, kneeling with both of his arms trying to support his body up. He was gasping profusely too. As if he was out of breath and couldn't hold on anymore.But Elle didn't care. Upon getting ready, she threw her giant paw again as she aimed against Beta Miguel's back. It went easily this time as he could no longer block her attack anymore. That said, her attack crashed on Beta Miguel with a horrifying sound. That forced him to fall flat on the ground.The horrifying sight caused those people behind Beta Miguel to shiver. They were supposed to butt in and help Beta Miguel at least. But why on earth were their body unable to move freely? It was as if the scythe of dea
Bite!The two had just reacted and were unable to completely recover from their shock when suddenly, Elle began to move. As she was now in her wolf form, she easily could fill those two men in her mouth. So when she bit them, she immediately cut their bodies into half, thus, killing them instantly with much ease."This... How can someone like here be here in this place?""I thought their race has long been annihilated by the three great packs combined because they are afraid of their existence rising into power... So how..."Most of the people who were accompanying Luna Angela were terrified. They didn't expect that the person they were facing was actually a member of the fallen race, the White Giants. Everyone of them knew how terrifying this race were. Although they only heard the story about them, now that they saw it with their own eyes and proved the reliability of the story, they couldn't help but tremble. Just how on earth was there still a survivor left?Of course, not everyon
It appeared like Elle was too impatient to deal with them. Her urge to kill them was at the maximum level as the moment the other party got withing her attack range, she couldn't hold back her intent to kill. As such, she gave the finishing move right on the bat, thus, successfully beheading the other party without even having the chance to retaliate.And that caused the entire crowd to fall in the state of silence. For a few moments, they really thought that they were just dreaming. Especially those people who were on the same side as that unlucky guy.Thud!Soon after, the body of the man Elle just beheaded finally fell flat on the ground. Its sound caused the people around to be snapped back to their senses as they finally spouted their remarks and disbelief. But Elle couldn't care less. She threw the head of that certain guy to the side carelessly as she cracked the bones of her neck."Next," She said with utter coldness."You..." Luna Angela was quick to response. She gritted her
Luna Angela didn't know yet that the Alpha Lawrence she was looking for, as well as Ezekiel, weren't there anymore. Ezekiel was taken away by the Dusk Howlers, while on the other hand, her mate, Alpha Lawrence, was alread dead. And he died at the hand of the very person before her. She was oblivious by the fact that she wouldn't be able to see her lover anymore in this world.Well, if it was in the afterlife, then they would definitely bump into each other sooner or later. Their meetings wasn't far of a reach now.In any case, Alpha Lawrence was now dead. That was the real fact. However, because of some unknown phenomenon, Luna Angela didn't sense this through their connection, thus, making her confident that he was still alive.After all, it was normal for mates to sense each other's circumstances when it reached to the extreme. If someone died or in great pain, the other party would immediately felt it because of their mate bond. And there was nothing surprising about that.However,
"You've broken the silver chain. Can you really get this thing off of me?" Elle couldn't help but doubt it. After all, silver metal was a one of the very weakness of wolves like them. Just by simply touching it was enough to make them lose their wolf strength.So, she really couldn't help but still leave some doubt to Alexa."I don't know. But will it hurt to try? If you don't want it, then let's just forget about it." Alexa replied nonchalantly. She didn't actually know exactly how did she do that. All she knew was that she felt like she could do it."How impatient. Here, try it out." Elle replied as she sighed. She raised both of her hand for Alexa to have a try removing the chains on her wrist.Alexa stared at the chains for a few moments before she too raised her hand to touch the silver metal. She grab it with both of her hands before she used her strength to force it to be broken. To her surprise, she handled it easily. She was relieved, but she kept a nonchalant and calm face.
