Kevin's POV:
At the trials, I saw Jennifer again. Although she seemed to be in bad shape, she still looked charming. No matter how shabbily she was dressed, she could always attract my attention. To be honest, I hoped that she would be selected to enter the elite werewolf training list, so that I would have more chances to be close to her. Although there were only three spots on that list, I knew that as the future Alpha, I would definitely be selected.
Before the competition started, when I learned that Jennifer hadn't arrived yet, I was really worried about her. Fortunately, she showed up soon. For some reason, her bruises made her look hotter than usual. I wanted to pin her down and fuck her like crazy.
"Kevin, you still have a chance. Take the initiative to win her heart. You will succeed," Leon, my wolf, tried his best to urge me.
I was a little annoyed to hear that. Why did I, a future Alpha, have to put effort into winning someone's heart? It was like an insult to me.
"Shut up. I just want her body. I don't want her to be my mate," I retorted.
"Really? Then why are you so concerned about her?" Leon pointed out.
I was so embarrassed that it made me angry. Did I really regret it? Would I take the initiative to ask Jennifer to be my mate again? No way.
When the trials began, I kept an eye on Jennifer. To my surprise, she performed exceptionally well and became the focus of the crowd. But in the final round, Barbara and Leah attacked her together. At first, I just stood aside and watched them fight it out, but at the last critical moment, I decided to help Jennifer. I attacked Leah and Barbara. In the end, Leah was eliminated.
"Kevin Brook, Jennifer Smith, Barbara Lively, congratulations! The three of you have been selected. Now let's welcome Prince Anthony to award the elite medals," the emcee announced.
The three of us stood in the middle of the competition field, waiting for the prince to award us. Jennifer was heavily injured. Although her hair was disheveled and she was bleeding here and then, her aura was so dazzling that everyone couldn't help but gape at her in awe.
Looking at that, I had to accept that I had made a mistake. The girl I had abandoned was actually excellent.
"I told you not to reject her in a hurry," Leon complained again. He had been against my decision back then. "You were too impulsive at that time. Kevin, you have to find a way to win her back."
"Fine, I'll give it a try," I agreed, gritting my teeth. Although it would be beneath my dignity to pursue a girl, she was both beautiful and powerful. What was more, she was the daughter of an Alpha. She was much better than that bitch, Barbara, in all aspects.
Thinking of that, I realized how much I regretted rejecting Jennifer. Fortunately, now that we were going to the royal training ground together, there would be a lot of time for me to win her heart. Sooner or later, I would get Jennifer back.
Jennifer's POV:
I made it! My knees were ready to give out at any moment, but when I saw Prince Anthony's gaze of approval, I felt that everything was worth it.
I sincerely thanked him again and again for helping me.
Now, I could attend the elite training. I had finally taken the first step on the path of revenge.
After the trials were over, I lingered behind in the competition field for a while and silently watched Prince Anthony. Standing in the distance, he just glanced at me and left.
I was confused. Didn't he know about our mate bond?
After the ceremony, the crowd dispersed. I left the competition field with wounds all over my body. Werewolves recovered at an extremely fast speed, so I didn't care about these injuries at all. Besides, I wasn't afraid of pain. The only thing I was afraid of was not being able to avenge my father.
On the way back home, I was walking past an alley when I heard a voice from behind.
"Bitch, do you think you're all that just because you got selected? I'll make it impossible for you to attend the training!" It was Barbara.
When I turned around to face her, I saw that she was accompanied by four other she-wolves. These she-wolves were her lackeys; they would do whatever she ordered them to. The five of them seemed to be waiting here for me.
Barbara pointed at me and ordered, "Don't show any mercy. Beat this bitch to death!"
As soon as she finished her words, the four she-wolves pounced on me at the same time.
My leg was injured, so I couldn't dodge them in time.
Damn it! Wasn't Barbara tired of picking on me like this?
The she-wolves scratched my skin and hit me everywhere. Their expressions were ferocious, and they had crazed looks in their eyes.
Blood began dripping from the scratches on my face, and I felt a burning pain.
Barbara didn't join them. She just stood aside and appreciated the miserable situation I was in.
"Beat her! Beat this bitch to death. How dare she steal the show? She deserves it," she snarled.
I refused to give up. I couldn't let them bully me like this. The pain made me break out into a cold sweat, but I endured it and fought back with all my strength. However, I couldn't change the fact that I was outnumbered. Moreover, I had used up almost all of my strength during the trials. Gradually, they overpowered me.
One of them kicked me in the abdomen, making me recoil in pain.
The whole time, Barbara was laughing wildly as she watched the show. But all of a sudden, her laughter stopped. Through my blurred vision, I saw her running away.
What was going on? Why was she running away so abruptly?
A tall man appeared into my view. The four she -wolves who had been beating me up suddenly froze, and their faces went deathly pale.
"Mr... Jones," one of them called out.
"Fuck off!" Prince Anthony said coldly.
