    ASHANTI’S POV.


    +15 BONUS


    Every time I’m about to walk into the training arena, I have one prayer in mind. Alina shouldn’t be in


    there or show upter for training. Lately, that prayer of mine has been greatly snubbed by the


    Moon goddess because every time I walk in, I see Alina and when our gazes meet, her eyes


    promise me death. Today, the same thing happens and I try my best to ignore her. My eyes light up


    when I spot Nelly seated on one of the tiered seats at the other end of the room,cing up her


    shoes. I’m smiling as I walk over to her.


    “Nelly.” I call when I’m close. Her gaze flicks from the shoe in her hand to my face and I expect her


    to sh me an enthusiastic smile like always or even fly into my arms, but she does none of that.


    Instead, she gives me a lopsided smile and mutters a very grumpy;


    “Hi.” And concentrates oncing up the shoe in her hand.


    My brows crease. I tilt my head to the side, giving her a yful look. She doesn’t look or sound


    okay.


    “Are you okay?”


    “Do I look like I’m not?” She snaps. She doesn’t spare me a nce. Her tone is ice cold and I can’t


    decide if she’s mad at me or just having a bad morning.


    “You…. you have this very grim look on.”


    “Well, it’s not everyday I’ll have to keep a smiling face now, is it?” She asks -rudely- raising her


    brows at me. I’m so shocked by her sudden outburst that I have to look around to make sure I’m not


    speaking with the wrong person.


    Nelly has never used that tone on me. Not that she can’t, but I don’t understand why she’s being


    cold to me out of the blue.


    “It’s not.” I calmly reply to her. “I’ll take it that you’re having a bad morning.”


    “My morni


    perfectly fine!” She contradicts.


    “Right.” I purse my lips and walk a few seats away from her before setting my backpack down. My


    head is swirling as I take my shoes out of my bag. I can’t help but throw nces at her from time to


    time. She still looks very grumpy. It makes me sad because I’m not versed with this version of her. I


    hope shees around soon.


    “Alright everyone, gather around for warm up.” Alpha Kyle’s instructions make me speed up with


    lacing up my shoes and putting them on. I’m thest person to join the line and he’s he’s giving me


    a look of dissaproval. I sigh.


    Today really has iting for me.


    “Have any of you ever tried ranking these three girls in terms of fighting skills?” One guys asks out


    of nowhere. My heart drops into my stomach as I look at the person who just spoke, The men’s


    gazes ping-pong from me to Nelly and then to Alina. I don’t like what they are about to do. Things


    are already very rough between Alina and I right now,paring me to

    her in any way will make things worse.


    I throw Delta Kyle a worried look. Begging him with my eyes to tell the men to stop, but he smiles


    and looks away from me.


    He’s invested.


    He wants the conversation to go on.


    F**k.


    “Alina is the most powerful of the three…” One of the guys deciphers as he looks at us, with his


    fingers stroking his chin beards. “For second ce… I don’t really know who between Ashanti and


    Nelly takes that spot.”


    “Ashanti, of course! She has emerged winner in all duels. She was able to go through all ten rounds


    with the Lycan King. That’s something even some of you here have not ben able to achieve. She’s a


    great fighter. She takes second spot for me.” Almost everyone is nodding their heads by the time


    Landon is done talking. I’m supposed to smile and thank him for the de, but I’m too terrified to


    do so. I can see from my peripheral vision, the scowl Alina’s face. She will kill me for real today if


    we’re paired for a duel.


    “I object.” A voice calls out. “Landon, you seem to be forgetting something.” I flick my gaze to the


    person who just spoke. He’s one of the guys I’ve never really had a conversation with since I started


    training here. He looks very scary.


    “And what could that be, Rex?”


    “It’s not all about skills and who’s winning duels or who’s resisting rounds with the Alpha. It’s about


    origin. Roots. Ashanti is an ordinary werewolf and by default, she’s weaker that Nelly who is a true


    born Lycan. Also, Nelly has been training for a very long timepared to Ashanti who just started


    a few weeks ago. Saying Ashanti is a more skilled fighter than Nelly is an insult to everyone of us


    Lycans standing here!” My pride has been crushed. The frown Nelly had on a while ago has been


    reced with a very bright smile. Same with Alina.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
