Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Your friend doesn’t seem to be in good shape,” Joanna said as she took another sip of her drink.
“She’s fine,” I said as I sped up my hand movements. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
“If you need help, I’d be happy to do something for you,” Joanna said.
“Enough!” I turned to look at Joanna. I didn’t want to pretend that we were friends anymore. I’d rather tell her, “There’s only the two of us here. There’s no need for you to wear that mask, Joanna. You know very well that I don’t like you. I guess you don’t like me either. Why pretend to be a sister?”
“I do feel some hostility from you, but I don’t hate you,” Joanna said slowly.
My gaze fixed on her. There was no flaw in her expression. It was as if I was just a one-sided villain. From the looks of it, it seemed that I had overreacted. She didn’t have any other intentions. I was using malice to speculate about her.
However, how could I explain her previous little tricks? Moreover, I did not judge her based on her appearance initially. The scent that she emitted told me that she was coveting my mate.
“You still don’t believe me.” Joanna sighed softly and leaned against the chair.
Suddenly, the aura around Joanna changed. The smile on her lips was no longer gentle and tolerant. Instead, it was filled with malice. “Alright, you’re right. There’s no one else here. I also tire of performing in front of a little girl like you every day.
“You’re an arrogant audience. You always ignore me. You’re a lowly werewolf, yet you always act like you’re above everyone else. Aren’t you just a whore with Michael backing you up?”
I gaped. I had imagined Joanna’s wickedness, but I didn’t expect to hear such an insult from her mouth.
I quickly recovered from the shock of the emotional surprise. This shouldn’t be beyond my expectations. These were Joanna’s true thoughts. My guess had always been right.
“So the reason you’re here is for Michael. You still love him, right?” I asked.
Joanna got up from her chair, walked toward me, and gave me a sarcastic smile. “Love? Only little girls like you talk about love all the time. Do you think Michael loves you? He only loves his mate because he’s the Lycan Prince of the royal family. He can only become stronger with his mate by his side.”
“No matter what you say, his mate is me, and the person he loves is also me, and there is no contradiction between the two,” I said calmly.
“Are you worthy?” Joanna said contemptuously, “Michael is the second in line to the throne of the royal Lycan family, the most honorable Lycan of the royal family apart from the royal family’s King Lycan and the crown prince. Like Michael, his princess will enjoy the same treatment as an actual princess and stand at the peak of the royal Lycan family’s power.
“As for you, you are just a lowly, incompetent, weak werewolf. What right do you have to stand shoulder to shoulder with Michael? That position should have been mine and will be mine in the future.”
This was the first time I saw the true and ugly side of Joanna. She despised all emotions. She did not do it to pursue Michael, but because of the value symbol of Michael, for the power on Michael.
Why didn’t she think about it? How could she be worthy of Michael’s sincerity and honesty? How could she be worthy of standing with Michael?
“You’re just a pathetic benefit seeker. You’re driven by desire and not emotions. You won’t get anyone,” I declared to her.
Joanna looked at me and suddenly giggled.
“You’re so naive and cute. I never thought my opponent would be a little girl like you.” Joanna smiled victoriously. “Let’s wait and see. You’ll see with your own eyes that I’ll take Michael away from you bit by bit. When that happens, don’t cry in the corner alone.”
I glared at her. Joanna looked very confident, but I didn’t think things would develop as she said.
“In your dreams! Michael is my mate. You can’t separate us!” I shouted at Joanna.
The few inches of height I had gained over the past few days helped a lot. I was now about the same height as Joanna, which allowed me to look her straight in the eye and confront her.
“The only bargaining chip you have is that you’re his mate, right?” Joanna said coldly.
Joanna’s body emitted an invisible aura. She seemed to have released something, pressuring me until I couldn’t breathe.
Damn it! Michael said that I had also become a Lycan of the royal family. Why could she still suppress my aura? I wanted to try to resist, but Joanna applied more pressure. I was suppressed until I couldn’t fight back.
What the hell was this?!
Mia wanted to come out of my body to fight, but I held her back.
I couldn’t really fight with Joanna here. I clenched my fists on both sides of my body and looked away to suppress the urge to pounce. Now was not the time. In the future, I would have a chance to get revenge.
