Semua Bab The Moon's Curse; Mated To The Alpha Who Killed Me: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Bernice slowly stood up from where she was sitting, and the moment she stood up, the entire place became quiet.The smile on her face was completely gone now. She looked angry and humiliated, and Vera could already tell that her words had hit the right spot."You've become way too disrespectful," Bernice said coldly while walking closer to Vera. "You don't even have respect for seniority anymore."Vera looked directly at her without moving back. Bernice stopped right in front of her."It doesn't matter whether you like it or not," Bernice continued angrily. "I am going to become the Luna queen. That position belongs to me."It's not like Vera had any chances of becoming the queen either, but she created the fact that it had to be chosen based on family status. How could someone like this become the queen who would rule and lead everyone? Bernice crossed her arms confidently."You're just a temporary distraction for Raymond," she added mockingly. "Soon enough he'll get tired of you and

Vera could barely breathe properly as Raymond held onto her before she could fall.Her head was spinning badly and those strange images kept flashing inside her mind repeatedly.The silver throne.The chains.And Raymond kneeling before her like she was someone important.None of it made sense to her.She grabbed Raymond's arm tightly without even realizing it. Her fingers were trembling and her body felt strangely cold.Raymond immediately noticed it.His expression darkened slightly as he looked at her carefully."What did you see?" he asked quietly.Vera quickly shook her head."I didn't see anything," she lied immediately.But Raymond clearly didn't believe her.The strange pressure around her body was still there and even he could feel it now.The air around them had become colder and Vera suddenly noticed frost beginning to gather around the nearby windows.Her eyes widened immediately.What was happening to her?Raymond looked around the hallway quickly before dragging her some

Vera kept staring at the bulletin board even after everyone around her started talking excitedly about the competition. Her eyes remained fixed on the line saying participation was compulsory for all students regardless of rank or status.Something about it felt suspicious. This academy had never forced everyone to participate before. Students who didn't want attention or those ranked too low usually stayed out of it. So why suddenly change the rules this year? And why now of all times?The first person that came into her mind immediately was Raymond.Vera slowly narrowed her eyes while staring at the board. She kept feeling like this was something he would do just to drag her into more trouble. Ever since he found out she was his mate, her peaceful life had completely disappeared.Andrea looked excited beside her while reading the rewards listed below."Oh my God," Andrea whispered loudly. "The rewards are even bigger this year."Xena looked nervous instead."This competition is alwa

Students slowly started leaving the hallway afterward while discussing the group arrangements loudly. Bernice looked furious as she walked away with her friends while throwing hateful glances toward Vera repeatedly.The rest of the day felt exhausting. During classes, she barely focused properly because Xavier's words kept repeating inside her head.Something inside the Black Moon Forest has been waking up lately. What exactly did he mean by that? And why did she hear that strange whisper immediately after? She didn't even understand why she was panicking and feeling guilty at the same time. Having a silver hair wasn't a crime, but she would look too weird on top of the fact that she was already too popular in school and known for seducing Raymond.How else was she going to live the rest of her days in school, knowing that she was constantly being watched by everyone and trying to be perfect to avoid their eyes? Once everyone sees her hair, there's no way they wouldn't question her an

Vera looked up at Raymond in surprise after hearing his words."Then I'll deal with it."The way he said it sounded too certain, like he had already decided nobody would touch her no matter what happened. That alone made her chest feel tight again because she still didn't understand why he was acting this way toward her lately.Before she could say anything else, Raymond suddenly looked toward the trees again sharply. His expression changed instantly."We need to leave."Vera frowned slightly."What now?"Raymond grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer behind him."Someone's coming."A few seconds later, several academy guards rushed into the woods with bright lanterns in their hands. Some professors followed behind them too. Vera recognized one of the combat professors immediately."There they are!" one of the guards said quickly.The professors visibly relaxed after seeing Raymond standing there safely. Vera immediately realized something again. No matter how terrifying Raymond was,
