I thought the torture ended by Mark’s and Oliver’s aggressive debate, but I changed my mind immediately when I heard the next one,“Rose, it must feel so nice to play the victim and make every guy take your side” Laina commented, her tone laced with hatred and jealousy. I was about to give her the peace of mind but Oliver beat me to it.“What do you mean? Who is playing the victim?” I asked in anger.“You always….” Laina, as always, tried to put the blame on me but shut her mouth immediately when she heard Oliver’s agitated voice,“Can you just stop for once?”At that moment, I was so done with them that I decided that I won’t go any further with them.An idea popped into my head and I grabbed my leg.“Ahh!” I screamed painfully.“What happened?” Oliver asked, his voice full of concern and care.Everyone stopped and, Mark, Oliver and Olivia came towards me.“I think I sprained my ankle” I replied clutching my leg like I am in so much pain.‘See, this is called acting baby’“You can’t

Elijah’s POV:“Liam, are you really feeling pity for the family because of whom our Alpha lost his brother?” I heard my other friend, Matt Willer, ask in astonishment.I felt a sharp pain deep in my chest like someone was piercing a sword right through my heart. It has been a while since someone mentioned my brother.Chase Smith, my innocent and caring older brother. The one who was supposed to be the Crown Prince. I lost my brother because of them! All of them are responsible for this.My life became a complete mess because of them! I will never forgive them! NEVER!“They are the reason for so much chaos erupting in the castle and you are still showing mercy for them, Liam? Should we not support Alpha in his tough time? We are his best friends. You are going to be his future Beta! The Beta of Werewolf King Alpha Elijah Smith! How can you of all people say that!” Matt uttered in disbelief.“But Matty..” Liam tried to argue but I cut him off immediately.“Anyone showing mercy for them

“You have to marry me, NOW!” He said in a demanding tone.“WHAT?” I shouted in disbelief and he winced like I just pierced his eardrums.Well serves him right, is he listening to his own sh*t? Mate? Marry? Is he out of his freaking mind?He didn’t get to reply as he lost consciousness right after my scream.I was fuming with anger. I want answers. No! I need answers! Who the heck does this gorgeous naked guy think he is? And who the absolute hell does he think he is to order me around? I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down.My eyes fell on blood flowing through his forehead. I couldn’t help but wipe it with the long sleeve of my beige-colored top. Damn me! It was brand new!Looking at the blood stain the entire fight flashed through my mind.“The poor guy was beaten so badly. He wasn’t attacking at all. It was all their fault” I whimpered and another thought popped up in my head,“I think he hit his head too. Maybe a little too hard. That’s why he must be hallucinating

I was shocked to see who was standing right in front of me. It was Theodore, uncle Pete’s son.“What are you doing here, Rose?”What am I doing here? Can’t you see I am stealing some morphine for a good cause?“I… I came here to.. to… see Uncle Pete” I replied stuttering like a criminal caught in act.What the hell? What did I just say? What would I reply if he asked why I wanted to see him? Is this the best reply you can come up with? Stupid brain!I felt like an idiot. How can I not? I had a morphine shot, injections, and a knife set in my hand at the moment. Whoever looks at me will think I am a lunatic.“Oh, okay” he replied smiling.What the hell? What do you mean by ‘Oh, okay’? Don’t you want to be nosy again like you all always do?I observed the way he was moving here and there either his own feet were unable to hold his weight or the floor was slippery.I was standing on the same floor so it must be his feet.“Are you okay, Theo?” I asked confusedly when I saw him grabbing t

Oliver’s POV,“No! no… no! Sissy… She was bleeding. She was bleeding a lot. There was a lot of blood coming out of her head… so much blood” Theodore replied stretching his arms horizontally to show the quantity of blood.“Is she okay?” Laina asked in a frightened tone.“I gave her vodka so she should be fine” Theodore replied with a proud expression.“You didn’t give her medicine or first-aid but vodka?” Olivia asked in frustration.“Yes, she asked for it. Must say, I am impressed! She has an expensive taste. We are drinking buddies now” Theo announced happily.“She drank?” Laina was beyond confused at this moment.“No! At least, not in front of me!” Theo shook his head in complete denial.“Then why did you give her vodka instead of a first aid kit, you brat?” Mark asked in an enraged tone.Theo frowned and replied, “Because she asked for it. She is my cousin too, I wanted to help! And….” “And?” Laina asked with a raised eyebrow.“And she had a morphine shot in her hands” Theo added
