Minutes after Freya left, Mariah still stood rooted to the spot, gritting her teeth angrily. She should've killed Freya back in Blackwood Pack.If someone had told her a year ago that a filth like Freya would say such words to her, she would've had the person beheaded. “Group 36 got their egg smashed! Group 35 wins!” Lain's voice jolted her back to the present. She was in group 37. Her face-off with Freya successfully triggered her desire to win. She'd win this tournament and show that omega she'd never amount to her even if she hoarded ten true alphas to boost her social status.Mariah unclenched her fist, stabilized herself and walked towards the ring.“Group 37 consists of Parker Hughes, Mariah Armstrong and Bruce Cooper. While group 38 consists of Jackson Brown, Olivia Thompson and Olaf Anderson.” Lain introduced before walking away. The ring was just a place to introduce them. After the introduction, the six contestants would walk into the open field, which gave them a wide ra

Marinette had a blank look on her face when she heard Nebra's question. “What is that supposed to mean?” She croaked, finding it difficult to breathe because of Nebra's grip on her collar. “I walked over to Cleopatra's office and looked you up. No one probably noticed since there are numerous people roaming the Council, but the face I saw in Marinette Hutchins' document doesn't look like yours. Not even close. Moreover, I have proof of who you are. So don't even think of fucking with me!” Nebra scoffed, tightening her grip on Marinette's collar. Marinette's iris constricted when she heard this. It was just for a brief moment, but it was long enough for Nebra to catch onto it. “Now that's the look I expect you to have.” Nebra smiled and released her grip on Marinette's collar. “Are you going to take me to Cleopatra?” Marinette asked numbly behind her. “I'm supposed to, but that will be after you tell me all about the witch who is controlling your father. Furthermore, where the he

"So what happened between you and your friend?" Brianna asked as she tended to Freya's injury. Brianna wasn't one to talk whenever she was working and Freya wasn't in the mood to talk about what was going on with Sarah. However, when she thought of how this woman was one of the first people to treat her like a living thing, she decided to tell her. "She was my roommate. Everything was fine until she slipped inflammatory drugs into my bottle of water despite being aware how badly it affects me." "What was her reaction when you told her what the drugs do to your body?" Brianna questioned further, putting a cast over the injury. Freya paused, her mind recalling the events of that day when she couldn't bear the pain that came with the food brought to their room. She recalled the worried look on Sarah's face when she found out what was happening and even tried to leave in an attempt to report the matter to the kitchen staff. "She acted empathetic. Even acted like she cared about my he

“I didn't think you were interested in the combat tournament.” Nebra said as she walked beside a stone-faced Neon. “I couldn't say no when you got eliminated, and they needed more people.” Neon replied with a blank look. “I see.” Nebra nodded then stopped walking. Neon subconsciously stopped walking as well and turned to her. “The combat tournament will continue with teams made yesterday until the sixth day of the tournament.” “Why does it sound like you're leaving? Are you leaving, Nebra?” Neon asked, sensing the shift in the air. Nebra smiled and reached out to feel Neon's cheeks. “Of course not. It's just for a few days. But I know I'll make it back before the seventh day of the tournament. Just promise me you'll look out for yourself and Freya.” “You're really leaving. And worst of all, you're leaving without me. What happened to always being there for each other?” Neon seethed, taking a step backward. Nebra moved forward and forcefully grabbed her head, “This isn't the time

Neon watched Freya walk away with a hint of interest in her eyes. The rumors lied. Freya Armstrong is nothing like they made her out to be. When Neon first joined the team, her jealousy borne hatred towards Freya for taking Nebra's attention away from her made her unable to get along with Freya. Furthermore, the rumors said Freya was a person who cared only about herself and felt like she was above every other person. It also said the omega hated everyone stronger than her because of the hardship meted out on her by the members of Blackwood Pack. Hence, she interacted with fewer people. “I also need to pack a few things. Meet you here?” Neon heard Miguel ask and turned to see his signature smile on his face. “Yes.” She mumbled, then watched him walk away. Ten minutes later, Miguel returned, but Freya was yet to. “Should we go see what's keeping her? I happen to know her room number.” Miguel suggested. Neon wanted to refuse, but a part of her urged her to agree. So in the end, s
