Chapter 53
“But… that’s not all, my father. He used to be with the Alpha family, but he was the reason why Alpha Jaster’s first wife died. Because of him, I am hated by both Asthrid and her family because of something I didn’t do. And don’t tell me it’s not my fault, because I know that. But I just can’t do anything about it because it is what it is, an”Good job! This was a good workout and a great assessment of your abilities. I believe we can improve and polish your moves more to make it easier for you to fight someone way stronger than you.
We then went back to the woods to get some fresh air and rest, then suddenly he asked me something about Asthrid. “You’re strong, that’s a very good compliment since it came from me, but I just wonder… Why don’t you fight back? Against Asthrid? I know you know that you can handle yourself, so why not?”
He got me thinking a little, but then I remembered the reason why. “I can’t, okay? Because she is the daughter of the Alpha family, and I know what would happen to me if I did just that.” I said in a serious tone of voice.
d I just have to accept things for now.
He just chuckled and scoffed at the sky. “I’ll still say it, it’s stupid and you should’t blame yourself, you’re right, you did nothing wrong so why would you ge tall the blame right?
Greco moved closer to me as he talked. I don’t know what he is planning but I don’t feel too comfortable about it. So I just took off without saying anything, I ran as fast as I could to lose him.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
I need to get back, Asthrid might wake up soon, but I can’t go back all sweaty, I need a shower. But she won’t let me shower in her room, I kinda wished I got my own room though, they literally have an entire room just for their luggages.
“The shower near the path!” I shouted as I remembered seeing one earlier on my way here.
Greco’s POV
Did I get too close? I think so… I knew I shouldn’t have done that, I’m such an idiot! I need to find her and apologize.
It’s been almost five minutes since she left, and I still couldn’t find her, luckily I was able to sense her all the way from here. She was near the entrance of the pathway so I just followed where I was sensing her.
When I was near, I heard water running as it hit the floor. Is there a shower out here? How come I never stumbled upon it.
Then I climbed the nearest tree to look for Krisna, then I saw her right in the center of the woods, just near the entrance of the pathway. There was a long hose connected to a water supply in the venue. While she was showering, the water felt cold since it was still quite early in the morning.
Then suddenly Grant appears out of nowhere. I wanted to intervene, since he was looking at her without her consent. But then again, that’s what I am doing at the moment.
“She’s in her underwear?” I heard Grant utter to himself as he looked like he was having a hard time trying to look away from Krisna. I don’t know how she couldn’t sense him from that close. “She really is beautiful” He uttered to himself, he looked like he had just seen a goddess. But he wasn’t wrong about that, she really was beautiful.
Krisna’s POV
The day of the Annual pack gathering has finally arrived. It feels weird. I thought this day would never come. Hopefully, I’ll be out of here in no time. The morning started just like yesterday, and the sun was shining. However, the air is still quite cold from last night. This has got to be the best start to a day ever, and nothing usually beats this kind of day other than Asthrid, making this day unbearable. I don’t think she is awake. Yes, that’s a surprise since she knew that this was the day she had been waiting for ever since she was told she and her entire family had been invited here. To think that she’s still sound asleep at the moment really tells a lot about how she acts during an important event.
I was just waiting for her to wake up when suddenly, someone was knocking on the door. I didn’t know who it was. I didn’t want to answer it since it was probably one of the Alpha family members trying to check on Asthrid. I just wanted to know how long she’ll sleep without anyone waking her up since she usually acts all mighty every time she is near me. I wonder how much she’ll like being late to her schedules during the day for her preparations for the Annual pack gathering dance.
After a few seconds, the knocking just went away, and I thought I was in the clear when the knocking just became louder. “Asthrid! Asthrid!” The voice sounded furious, I knew it was one of the Alpha family, but I didn’t think they’d get angry at me since they were only looking for Asthrid.
Instead, I just went to get the door so that they wouldn’t wake up Asthrid.
“Ugh… You? Krisna, where is Asthrid? She was supposed to be awake half an hour ago. Is she even awake?” She said in a frustrated tone of voice. She looked disgusted by me. I didn’t even do anything to her, I just looked at her with a smile, and she just acted like I just threw up on her or something.
“Yes? Ma’am?” I said in a well-mannered, gentle tone of voice. I just wanted to emphasize that I was not her enemy, especially so early in the morning. I didn’t want to waste this wonderful morning, so I just went along with whatever she was feeling and didn’t talk since she is also a part of the Alpha family. Greco had a point, why don’t I fight back and stand up for myself? But I also had a point. I’d be put in jail the moment they even suspect a hint of hostility and threat by me. Even if they are the Alpha family, they have fragile egos, and they take pride in being the Alpha family.
