Chapter 4: Prince Anthony
Jennifer's POV:
As per Alpha Norman's strict instructions, I began to prepare for the welcome ceremony and the trials, and tried my best to not make any mistakes.
While I was busy working, I heard my wolf crying in my mind.
"Eva, what's wrong?"I asked.
"We were rejected by our mate.”
"I'm sorry.I have accepted his rejection.”
"You don't have to apologize. know he won't be a good mate.But still, I can't help feeling sad.” "We might not have another mate,” I said dejectedly.
She stopped crying at once and said, "That's impossible! I believe that the Moon Goddess will give us a second chance.”
"Maybe. But after last time, I don't have much expectation for my mate.”
"Be optimistic! By the way, Jennifer, you haven't told me your birthday wish yet."
"My birthday wish? I want to become stronger so that I can take revenge!"
Although Alpha Norman had clearly told me that I couldn't participate in the trials, I didn't give up. Becoming stronger was my only goal.
I would never forget the way Beta Arthur killed my father and took over the pack.
Only when I became stronger could I successfully take revenge! Two days later, on the day of the welcome ceremony, the Dark River Pack was bustling.
All the werewolves of the pack gathered in the square, and there was a long line to welcome the prince.
Everyone was excited to see him in person.
At noon, Prince Anthony Jones of the Osman Kingdom finally arrived with a group of lycan guards. The square was covered with expensive red carpet, and firecrackers were being set off everywhere, filling the area with loud crackling noises.
Prince Anthony was wearing a blue military uniform, with a lot of medals pinned on his chest.
He had a handsome chiseled face, but with delicate facial features that made him look noble. Even Alpha Norman treated him with the utmost respect.
How could I be the mate of an exceptional man like him? However, I still wanted to participate in the trials and be selected by him.
Looking at the prince who stood in the midst of the crowd, I made up my mind that no matter what, I couldn't give up hope.
Being selected to go to the royal training ground would be the first step to achieving my ultimate goal.
But for that, I first had to find Prince Anthony and ask him to allow me to take part in the trials.
I was hoping that he would make an exception for me and allow me to participate in the trials for the sake of our mate bond, if nothing else.
But I didn't get a chance to approach him at all.
After the welcome ceremony, I tiredly dragged myself back to my room
The trials would be held tomorrow, so I didn't have much time left.
After thinking for a while, I decided to go to the prince's residence to talk to him there.
Of course, the prince's residence was heavily guarded.
As a slave, I wouldn't be able to just walk in and see him.
But I had to try my luck.
On my way to Prince Anthony's residence, however, someone covered my mouth from behind and dragged me into a nearby utility room.
I struggled to break free, but to no avail.
When I heard the sound of the door being locked, my heart trembled, and I had a bad feeling. The hand covering my mouth finally withdrew.
"Who are you?"
My voice was shaking in fear.
I heard the sound of footsteps getting louder.
Several people were approaching me.
When I turned around, I saw several werewolves in rags, rubbing their hands together and coming over with obscene smiles.
I recognized them at once.
They were all Omegas of the pack.
"Jennifer, you're so beautiful.”
The werewolf at the front licked his lips, with undisguised desire in his eyes.
"Miss Barbara treats us well.
She found such a good girl for us.”
My heart dropped to my stomach.
It was Barbara again! She had literally thrown me to these wolves.
Of course, I couldn't just sit still and wait for death.
I forced myself to calm down and glared at them.
"You'd better stay away from me."
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, making myself look as aggressive as possible.
"If you dare to act rashly, I will fight with you to the death.”
"Hal Fight us to the death?"
The werewolf at the front raised his head and laughed wildly.
"Who do you think you are? You have slept with a lot of men, haven't you? We haven't touched a woman in a long time.We'll make sure you have a good time today."
He waved his hand and nodded to the rest of the werewolves
"Guys, go ahead!"
