Chapter 158
1626words
I taunted my opponent, bending my index finger to his direction.
I heard a loud growl, knowing that it was just my angry mate above us i didn't bother to look. Yet my opponent only did the exact opposite, his face turning into a face of fear as he looks at who was glaring daggers towards my back.
"How long are you gonna stand there? let's get this over with." I said before positioning myself in a fighting stance.
Yet he only looked at me like i was some crazy woman.
'How can he not? everyone is silent because of our mate's anger yet you're casually initiating someone on this stage.' Gina scoffs.
[Ugh duh? what else would i do in this stage? dance?]
I rolled my eyes.
"Hello? did you not hear me? where the hell is the announcer anyway?" I bickered, my eyes trying to find the announcer that was in charge of starting the duels.
When i finally saw him, he was as well staring in fear towards the person above us.
I sighed, how long is he gonna keep up with this tension?
When i finally look towards his way, i noticed that there were a lot of glass shards around him, he stood up angrily with his balled fists and he looked displeased overall at my appearance. He didn't even mind that some of the alphas tried talking to him, he just simply ignored them.
My heart paced faster nervously.
I knew he'll react but isn't it way too early? you're falling to my trap so easily Zyrus.
I smirked towards him, making him flinch.
"Alphaking Zyrus? is there something wrong for you to be looking at me like that?"
He growls. "you dare presumptuously disobey me!"
I stuck a finger on my ear, acting like i didn't care that he was angry. But in reality, i was really scared at the thought he might really kill me this time- well that was the plan after all.. right?
I gulped, feeling his anger even though he was meters away from me.
Putting my hands on my chest, i said. "Disobey you? i'm a special examiner my king, how could i possibly not attend the very thing that made me qualify for special examiners?"
'irritate him more! tell him to go down! he won't just go down if you use small words!' Gina interrupts.
[Shut up! do you want us to be killed so fast? we can't provoke him too fast or we'll lose our heads. It's better to make him go down himself. We'll have to provide a good show to do that though.]
"DID YOU NOT HEED MY WORDS EARLIER?!"
His words were so powerful that i wasn't the only one who felt his immense anger all over the arena, everyone of them took a step back even though his anger were not directed to them.
But only to me.
I laughed, making them all surprised.
"Oh dear, pardon my rudeness Alpha king. It just made me laugh. I suddenly remembered the scene earlier. I admit, i was in the wrong. I shouldn't have tried killing your MATE. For that, please forgive me." I bowed afterward.
Yet it was still silent, so i raised my head. To my surprise, he still hasn't gone down due to his anger. His face was starting to turn red from too much anger, his chest slowing down as he tried his best to calm himself down.
I grinned, how long can you hold your anger Zyrus?
"Now that i've apologized, can you let me join the Trials now?"
I knew that his reasons for not wanting me to attend was because someone was clearly plotting against me yet i still used a ridiculous excuse just to rile him up even more.
I want him to be more confused.
"Great just great! You don't even value your life to be appearing before me right? is this because i almost killed you that you're recklessly rebelling right now?"
'Now!! turn the crazy bitch mode on!!' Grina exclaims in excitement.
As agreed, i did switched it on.
My eyes sparkled with amusement as i crossed my arms, my grin reaching to my ears, i looked at him with an eccentric face. "You know what? i just realized something when you did almost kill me."
I started to walk towards his direction.
"I gotta say, i'm thankful for it. If it weren't for your mate appearing then i would've remained oblivious to the fact that i!"
I glared at him.
"Will never receive the same love that i've given all to you! You used me! and now that you're tired of me you want to throw me away?!" I yelled with all my might, that i even started to be emotionally attached to the words that i said.
My heart tightened.
"How ridiculous, you were the one who said i can keep you regardless of my mate. So is this it? you just attended the trials to expose our relationship to the whole continent?" He said in a cold voice.
Obviously, our conversation was enough to pique the attention of the werewolves around us. They mumbled to each other as they talked about my ridiculous relationship with the alphaking. Each of them having their opinions that they kept to themselves, careful enough to not let the king hear them.
Amusingly, He was actually right, it was part of the plan to expose our relationship.
What's next?
It's to turn the relationship into something violent!
"Relationship?"
I started to laugh hysterically, my eyes tearing from the ridiculous humor he just told me. Even though i was acting, i do feel some pent up anger that i needed to let out. It wasn't just acting anymore, i was already starting to voice out my anger to him.
"What relationship are you talking about? you mean how you used me to satisfy your needs? How you knew of what i felt towards you yet you still managed to hurt me in every despicable way!"
"Shut up! you begged me!" He shot back.
It hurts.
I knew i was just acting right now. But i knew that Zyrus was serious, this is what he actually felt without the mate pull. He was finally telling me all the things he truly felt after being with me.
It's ridiculous.
We were so close to finding our love even without the mate pull. Yet just because of an impostor who appeared to be his mate, everything went into crumbles. I was so close! but he just had to choose that bitch and call her his mate in front of me.
Are you that dumb Zyrus? to even be fooled like that?!
I laughed at my state right now. This is not the first time i confronted him like this. The situation was so similar to the Royal ball that i was starting to feel relieved that i could pull the act well enough to fool everybody- no..the whole werewolf society!
I exhaled violently before looking at him.
"That's right! i begged you!" I shouted back. "But i never forced you! you told me all the things that made me believe in you! you gave me hope! so how could you say that i'm the only one's who's at fault here? YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I'M LIKE THIS!"
Finally starting the show, i dispersed the spell that was blocking my demi-god presence, making it surface as my hair turned white and my eyes' sudden turn in glowing red.
I started to surround magic around me, making the werewolves on the arena to howl in anger towards me. They bared their fangs, itching to kill an impostor like me who dared to join the trials as a demi-god.
I wasn't planning to reveal this too early but since Zyrus is close to snapping at me, i knew it was the perfect time to do this.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Zyrus looks at me with shock.
"What else?"
I raised my right palm, gathering the magic on my hands. It glowed dangerously in purple as i intended it to knock all the werewolves down in an instant just by a single spell. Without a second thought, i aggressively scattered the magic around me. As the magic started to move on its own, it directed itself towards every werewolf in the arena.
Not even my mate was an exception.
Just as i suspected, he blocks it easily, his eyes starting to show anger.
I made a displeased face.
"Tsk, i knew it. Even such a high-level spell won't faze an Alphaking." I rolled my eyes.
Just as i wanted. Every werewolf that was in the arena, became unconscious, all of them sprawled on the floor in their spots, only me and my mate who stand before on opposite sides were the ones left standing. To my surprise, even Syrena was affected by the spell. I never thought that even a Dark witch would stand weak against the same type of vengeful magic.
Looks like i didn't control the elements well.
"Do you know what you've done?" He growls. "You just made every werewolf your enemy!"
"Do you have time to worry about me? you should worry about yourself Alpha king. I just didn't like the noisy environment so i made them shut up."
I gathered another ball of energy on my hand, satisfied that it was more potent to the ones i did earlier. I turned to him before grinning like a maniac. "Since my opponent is down, won't you spar with me?"
"Are you crazy?" he shot back, full of disbelief.
"You don't like sparring? why not fight to the death then?"
I smirked.
