Chapter 46
Lorena POV
“That was a sad story,” Angelica said and wiped a lone tear from her eyes. “itis so sad that you had to face all of that as a child,” she heaved a sigh and rubbed my shoulder. “I am so sorry about everything you had to face as a little child” she stated and I nodded in response smiling at her as if I was happy being in the werewolf world.
“you are so lucky to be born in the world of the werewolves,” I told her and she burst into laughter.
“you have no idea what I am facing at the moment,” she answered and kicked the pebbles with her black boots. The forest was calm ever since we arrived and not a single word had been heard ever since we've been walking. It made me wondered the forest was not as tough as it looked to be which made me wondered why we had to hold onto the weapons.
“what are you facing?” I asked her after a few moments of contemplating on what she could be possibly facing. She was a born a werewolf and didn't have to lost her parent or fight the throne of the noble consort. She was lucky to be born unlike me who had to struggle so hard to be one of the top toys. Being a human means you can lose your life at any moment and that is pretty sad because at the end of it all, the humans never win. * what could you possibly facing to make you talk like this?" yet another question again to satisfy my curiosity. “tell me what could possibly...”
“Iam in love with the king!” she announced and hearing about her love towards the king shattered my heart as I couldn't believe that she was in love with the king. “I had always admired him since I was a child and I had thought that he would notice me even if it was for once,” she heaved a deep sigh and stared into my eyes. I quickly averted my eyes before she could notice the shallowness in my eyes. “I want him all to myself and I know that I am sounding selfish at the moment but I can't do with him and if he eventually picks a noble consort, I don't think that I can bear seeing him with somebody else," she stated and rubbed her hands together. “I want the king all to myself”
I couldn't say a word for a moment as I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that angelica could be in love with a jackass lik Fenrir.
“Don't lie, you also felt something for him," A voice murmured in my head except that it wasn't just any voice, it was subconscious. “you like him, don't you?" I asked and she nodded I response.
“ That is why Is why I am trying to know what these concubines see in him,” she whispered into my ears and chuckled. “I know you are the king's favorite toy and that you don't feel anytime for him and...”
“hold on second,” I cut her off. * I don't get what you are saying” I told her.
Angelica placed her hands on her waist. ” I am letting you know that I became friends with you because you are not obsessed with the king!" she said and smiled brightly. all the other s*x slaves are fantasizing about him but I see you are different and hate the king!"
Unbelievable.
I couldn't believe that angelica had befriend me because she wanted to get close not because I was worthy of her time. I guess all the werewolves are the same. They are selfish and only cares about themselves. “oh!” that was the only way that I could react to the sudden discovery. Never in my wildest did I believed that angelica would be someone like that.
“will you please help me in winning the king's heart, she said and placed her hands around me. * I will be so happy if you could help me wins the king's heart,” she chuckled and rubbed my shoulder. “I believe that you don't want to win but I want you to so I wouldn't have to drag anything with you. Right Lorena?" she asked and I didn't respond until she nudged me on the shoulder. “what do you have to say about this?”
“I...” I suddenly lost the right words to say and could only stared at her having no idea on what to say. Even though I despised Fenrir a lot, my body couldn't deny the feelings he felt for him.
“Does your response means that you are not going to do it?”
I stared into angelica’s eyes and saw her brows furrowed at me.
“I never said that" I tried to defend myself but she cut me off.
* you wouldn't even tried to win the king's heart because if he would ever fall for a human after everything that the humans did to him and the packs,” Angelica said and it got my attention as I wanted to know why Fenrir did to make life unbearable for the humans.
“if you know about the king's story then I want to hear it."
Angelica shook her head. “no one knows the true story about our king except from the rumors about him rising from the dead after been killed by the humans.”
“so, you have no idea of why he suddenly decided to make the humans slaves?”
Angelica shrugged her shoulders and just then we heard a loud shrieking and while we were contemplating on what could b happening, Danielle ran towards us and pushed us to the ground.
“what the hell is going on with you?” I shouted at her and pushed her away from me. she landed on the ground close to me and jumped to her feet. “there is a black bear in the forest and its....."
“run!” Rebekah shouted as she ran past us.
“if you don't want to die..” halie shouted as she also ran past us.
“runt” Talita shouted and pushed past me.
Right behind them was a brown black bear running after them. His eyes pierced mine and I saw the way the bear stared at me like I was his meal.
“runt” I shouted to Angelina but she was already in front of me. “wait for me,” I shouted for her.
