Chapter ９

She may charm Alex and replace me as his Luna.

That couldn't happen.

"Yes! Daina seduced Stephan Buther. Why does he like her? They're cheating! Mr. Stephan Buther can't distinguish private from public interests! "Hysterically!

Since I'd upset him, there was no sense in attempting to make amends.

Is it true? She insulted Mr. Stephan Buther? "

"She's very arrogant"

"How rude!"

"Other werewolves scolded me.

These gossiping skanks were in good spirits.

Now when I was caught, they acted like I was the only one wrong.

"Enough!

Everyone stopped chatting when Stephan Buther ordered.

He addressed his staff.

"Shush!"

The prince's attendants seized my hair, hit, and kicked me.

Daina observed with a chilly look.

She should wait, I looked with loathing.

I'd pay her back a hundredfold someday. Daina's POV: I went to the training field the following day since my body had healed.

Inscoffeed of being serious, the others were cheerful in the training area.

Through the throng, I noticed Stephan Buther with a terrifying face.

His servants held a messy she-wolf.

Her legs were fractured and covered with blood.

Daina framed me, Mr.Stephan Buther! Please don't drive me away, the she-wolf pleaded. I knew her voice despite her matted hair and black-and-blue face.

I knew her by her voice since she'd coffeesed me for years.

Her voice was unlike any other she- wolf's.

Prince's attendants pulled her hair.

Sophie's eyes became hateful as we met.

I understood instantly.

Sophie got caught slandering because she said I seduced Stephan Buther.

Luna Elize defended Sophie in the Green woods pack.Nobody helped her now.

I doubted he'd forgive her again.

Sophie was dismissed.

Sophie looked at me and said, "Daina, you bitch! I'll ruin your life. "

Her warning echoed over the training field.

Prince's servants carried her away, and her voice faded away.

Finally, my world was silent.

My training increased without Sophie's interruptions.

Stephan Buther hadn't returned to the training site, so my mood didn't stay long.

He used to check each session virtually daily.

Ailing? What happened? I was nervous.

My concern lasted days.

I kept looking at the training field entrance, expecting to see Stephan Buther.

Stephan Buther and several werewolves entered the training site one morning.

His health was a relief.Young werewolves followed Stephan Buther.

He must have been busy.

However, a she-wolf was walAlpha behind Stephan Buther.

My palms bled from my fists.

Even the stench of blood couldn't mask my loathing.

\

POV: Daina

This she-wolf stood out among the new cadets in her training gear.

As she presented herself, everyone was amazed.

Maria Susan: "Hello." Seeing me, her grin froze.

I felt frigid as though in an ice cave.

She is Shawn's daughter.

Dad's Beta was Shaw Susan.

He revolted against my father, murdered him, and became Alpha.

We were compelled to abandon our pack.

Shaw Susan's daughter, a former acquaintance, appeared before me for the first time since her father removed my father as Alpha.

I had considered her my closest friend, but I'll never forget her smug smirk as I was chased.

S he was envious I was the Alpha's daughter.

She couldn't accept becoming Beta's daughter.

Before Shaw Susan's strategy, she claimed to like me.

She only showed her real colors when her father murdered mine. She helped him hunt me down.

Maria must be astonished I wasn't dead. 

Her presence reminded me of a grudge.My rage and anguish had nowhere to go.

She neither approached me nor said she knew me.

The drillmaster afterwards instructed new and veteran cadets to explore the forest together.

I've been listless for a few days, but I resolved to cheer up and concentrate so I could escape the jungle soon.

I heard someone yelling for rescue ahead of me.

 I followed the voice.

When I trod on a withered branch while sprinting, the earth collapsed.

"Argh!

"I sank quickly.

I tried to get something but slipped into the trap.My bones snapped and I hurt everywhere.

I fell into a hole with sharp sticks.

Several hit me, immobilizing me.I smelled my own blood and felt anguish.

Blood dripped from my fresh wounds.At this pace, I would die.

I clenched my teeth and pulled myself out of the sticks.

When I fell, I shattered various bodily parts and broke the arm that wasn't penetrated.

When Iattempt to move, I bled quicker.I felt dizzy, chilly, and breathless.

My body weakened.

My eyesight clouded. Was this it? 

I couldn't die, but I was weak.

I had to drag myself out of the hole, but I couldn't resist the lethargy that followed the anguish.

Was I being taken away? 

Stephan Buther's perspective:

I noted Daina's response as I led the second group to the training site.

Her eyes bulged as she peered at Maria Susan, the she-wolf.

I'd never seen her look that angry before.

Daina's background seemed murky to me.

Her face made me question what she'd endured and how she knew Maria Susan.

What happened?

Why was Daina, who was generally peaceful, so upset?

Daina and I weren't buddies.I couldn't ask her anything intimate, so I held back.

My thoughts felt thick.

A few days later, my attendant told me my mother had arrived on Marge Island.

My mum was kind and concerned about my marriage.

My mother was happy when I last brought Daina home, which was beneficial for her health.

I should make my mother pleased, yet her sudden arrival caused me a headache.

Why is mom here?

My mother didn't appear thrilled when she saw Daina, but she didn't realize that Daina and I were merely partners.

Where's Daina? Isn't training done? I looked for her in her dorm room and other locations, but she wasn't there.

I couldn't answer.Today, new and veteran trainees trained in the bush.

I was busy, so I didn't go.

"Do you treat your partner like this?"My mom yelled.

She coughed severely after saying it since she was sick.

"Mom, don't worry. Please have a seat; I'll send someone to search for her.

Iattempt to calm her down and requested a worker to help.

He returned.
