“Thank you,” | managed to whisper. Kex helped me to my feet, and | brushed the dirt off of my clothes. | turned to look at him, and | saw the worry on his face.

“What were you thinking?” he asked, his voice stern. “You could have been killed!” | bit my lip, knowing that he was right.

“| don’t know,” | admitted. “I just... froze.”

“Nelly, | think it’s best you hide,” he said, his eyes holding my gaze.

| was about to respond when Kex suddenly spun around, swinging his sword in a graceful arc. There was a sickening thud, and I turned to see a wolf lying at his feet, a large ga sh in its side. Blood spattered onto the ground, staining the grass red.

“Nelly, you need to go hide,” Kex said, his voice sharp with worry.

“No!” | protested. “I want to fight.”

| gritted my teeth and summoned all of my strength, launching myself at Emily. She tried to fight back, but | was too quick for her. | grabbed her arm and began to drag her away, Aisha and few of our guards following behind us.

We finally reached the hidden cave, a secluded place far from the battlefield. | looked at the entrance, thankful that our men were guarding it, protecting us from any danger that might try to enter. | turned my attention back to Emily, who was glaring at me with hatred in her eyes.

Her leg was turning a sickly green, a clear sign that the arrow had been poisoned. | knelt down beside her, my voice calm and measured.

“Dear Emily,” | said. “It’s so nice to see you again, my brother’s fake sister.” | smiled, my voice dripping with malice.

| saw the rage flare in her eyes, and | knew | had struck a nerve. She was about to speak, but | cut her off.

“How did you feel when you heard that | was mated to Kex?” | asked, a sly smile on my face. | could see the hatred burning in her eyes, and it felt like a sweet victory.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You can’t expect me to answer that,” she said, her voice tight.

| pressed the blade of my sword against her wound, and she screamed in pain. | felt a rush of satisfaction, and | couldn’t help but laugh. “Please,” she begged, her voice breaking.

“Don't do this. Please.” | felt a twinge of guilt, but | ignored it. | wanted to see her in pain to soothe my wolf. How dare she merge hands with our enemies? How dare she try to end my life?

| was too angry, too hurt to stop. | felt like | was burning up inside, consumed by hatred and rage. | held the sword against her wound, feeling the heat of the metal against my skin.

She screamed again, and | could see the fear in her eyes. A smirk appeared on my face as | removed

the sword.

Her eyes were wide and full of fear, but there was also something else in them — a kind of glee. She seemed almost delighted by the situation, and it made me sick. | knelt down beside her and asked.

“Why did you poison me?”

“Because you deserve to die, just like your parents and that weakling of a brother,” she replied, laughing.

“You know how my brother died?” | asked, my voice tinged with disbelief.

“| killed the idiot,” she responded laughing.

“Kill me with your sword,” she begged. | let out a laugh.

“You can’t have a peaceful death. Never! Not after finding out you killed my brother. That poison will eat you up,” | growled, and I left her in the cave.

Everyone was celebrating. and | could hear the sound of laughter and singing in the air. | felt numb, like | was outside of my own body. Aisha came up to me, her face full of concern. “What about Emily?” she asked. | shrugged, not knowing what to say.

“Have you seen Kex?” | asked, my voice barely audible. She shook her head, and | felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. | pushed my way through the crowd, looking for him, but | couldn’t find him anywhere. | decided to check the room.

“He’s... he’s been...” Aisha hesitated, as if she couldn't bring herself to say the words.

“He’s what?” | demanded, my voice rising in panic.
