Chapter 40: Alina’s Monologue
Alina’s POV:
Looking at Rufus’ handsome side face, I felt unwilling to give up.But he didn’t seem to take me serious at all.
"Alina, who do you think is the best among them?" Laura asked me, drawing my attention back to her. She looked at me kindly as if she had not lost her temper just now.
I pursed my lips and smiled gently.
Then I turned to look at the arena and said, "In my opinion, Sylvia ha the most potential."
As soon as I said this, everyone looked at me with surprise and confusion in their eyes. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Alina, you don’t have to praise her only because you’re afraid of making someone unhappy." Laura’ words were full of underlying meaning.
She glanced at Rufus and snorted coldly.But Rufus didn’t seem to mind at all.He was still focused on the figure in the arena.I clenched my fist tightly, feeling a little jealous of that slave.
"My Queen, I’m telling the truth," I said to Laura in a soft voice, acting like a coquettish child.
I blinked my eyes and pretended to be too shy to look at others.
"All right.Then tell me why you think highly of her."
Laura was obviously amused by my behavior.She smiled and touched my nose.
"You are still acting like a spoiled child, just like you used to be."
"Well, Sylvia hasn’t received any professional training, but she can even run faster than those who have received training.She is a natural talent.I think she is amazing."
As I spoke, I observed Rufus out of the corner of my eye, hoping that he would notice me.
When I finished my last sentence, he glanced at me sideways.I gave him a gentle smile, but he didn’t respond.
He turned his head away and looked back at the arena.I felt like he regarded me as a contemptible scoundrel.He seemed to have read through my inner thoughts at a glance and disdained me.
The feeling of embarrassment and anger ignited in my heart at once.
Why didn’t he want someone like me, a noble lady who could understand him? Why did he prefer a lowly slave? I looked at Sylvia in the arena, feeling disgusted inside me.
Since I was a child, I had never suffered such grievances.
But for the sake of my pack and power, as well as my father, who was counting on me, I had to endure it.
At the thought of my father, my heart inevitably stung.
Ever since my father got seriously ill and his health deteriorated, our originally strong pack began to decline day by day.
And when the surrounding packs saw this, they all wanted to annex our pack aggressively.I was the only child and heir of my father.
But the members of our pack thought that I was not strong enough to support them.
So they all supported the Beta to get the position of the Alpha, The Beta had been coveting this position for a long time.
In fact, he was just waiting for my father to die, so he could replace him.
By then, I would lose everything.I couldn’t imagine falling from heaven to hell, so I had to prevent it from happening.
Now that my father’s serious illness and the embarrassing situation of our pack had not spread out yet, I was still the daughter of Alpha Leonard Quinn in everyone’s eyes.
And he was still the powerful werewolf with a lycan bloodline.
Alina’s Monologue I had to take advantage of this time to bond with Rufus, the heir of the lycan king, to become his mate.
So when I first came here, I didn’t care about how cruel and bloodthirsty he was.
I thought that as long as But since meeting Rufus, my heart had been beating abnormally fast.
From then on, what I wanted was far more than just a status.I also wanted this perfect lycan to be mine.
But I didn’t expect that Sylvia, an annoying slave, would come out of nowhere and get his favor.
He even refused to marry me because of her.
Fortunately, Laura hated Sylvia as much as I did.
Laura was my trump card, and it made me feel less worried.
So this time, when I heard that Sylvia was going to participate in the placement exam, I specially coaxed Laura to watch it together.
I wanted to see Sylvia make a fool of herself in public.
But I didn’t expect her to be so excellent.
"Alina, you’re right.That slave is indeed talented.I’m impressed by her," Laura said changed her mind about Sylvia.
But this couldn’t go on like this.
If Laura accepted Sylvia in the end, it would be terrible.So I found an excuse to leave the table.I contacted the guard I had bribed in the dark and asked him to change the props for Sylvia’s strength test as originally planned.
I would totally embarrass Sylvia in front of Rufus and Laura.
