Chapter 38
“I don’t have time for this, Mabelle. I still have to look for someone stupid, so if you’ll excuse me. I’m leaving now.” She said and started to walk down the stairs, but Mabelle wouldn’t let that happen. This was the only chance she had before the ball, and she would definitely get Asthrid to team up with her on the mission.
“I used to date Alpha Grant.” She suddenly blurted out, which made Asthrid look back at her with an even more astounding facial expression.
“What? What did you just say? You dated who?” Asthrid asked as if she suddenly became deaf or didn’t she just hear it right.
Mabelle walked over in her direction and smiled at Asthrid. She showed her a smile of victory at last, and she was able to get her entire attention. “Yes, you heard that right, Asthrid Olimp. Alpha Grant and I used to date, but he has no interest in me now since that was a long time ago.” Her tone of voice shifted from being too enthusiastic to being sullen. She still couldn’t accept that she was just once a girl who used to be loved by the Alpha of the Light Sky pack.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Because of what she said, Asthrid started to laugh it off and looked at her as if she was getting over her. “Ha, are you kidding me? You are just a girl in his past, but why would you want to get back with him? Aren’t you just being pathetic? You’re chasing a guy who doesn’t even like you.” She told Mabelle with laughs between her lines.
She suddenly stopped laughing when she remembered that they were both somewhat on the same page. Asthrid also wanted the Light Sky Pack’s Alpha, but it seemed like the Alpha didn’t have any interest in her as well. At times, she was questioning herself whether she lacked beauty? Or was there something wrong with her as a whole?
“I love Grant, and that is for sure. In order for me to get him back, we need to join forces to kick her out.” She bravely told Asthrid with a straight face. Mabelle was really serious this time, she really wanted Grant to be with her again, but there were lots of obstacles to get him back. She gathered all her courage to talk with Asthrid tonight and plan out everything against this one person. “I want to get rid of everyone who is getting in my way. I know that you also like the Alpha, but what we want for now is similar.” She told Asthrid with a straight face. Asthrid was shocked by what she said. How could she say that when she knew that Asthrid was also into Alpha Grant?
“What made you think that I am going to help you when you know that I also want the Alpha? What? Am I crazy enough to help the person who will be my rival in the near future? I’m not stupid.” Asthrid told her with small laughs, but Mabelle remained calm with a straight face.
She was too serious when it came to the Alpha. “Yes, I am sure, because I know that you wouldn’t resist the idea of turning the life of Krisna Heberth miserable. I know for a fact that it is to your satisfaction to see that she will be embarrassed in front of so many people.” She replied with full conviction.
Asthrid was stunned for a while, and it made her think twice. When she heard that their target was Krisna, she suddenly felt a fire burning deep inside her chest. She felt thrilled and excited at the same time, but she needed to hear more from her.
When Asthrid came back to her senses, she suddenly turned her back and scoffed and laughed for a second, and then she turned to look at Mabelle once again. “Are you playing mind games, dear? How come you want to be friends with me if you want to get rid of me afterward?” She asked with a sarcastic tone but Mabelle didn’t budge even a bit. She was still smiling at her like it was just the right thing to say because that was her real intention.
She shrugged off her shoulders and pouted her lips. “Well, real friends have the same enemies, right?” She said with a sly smile and that made Asthrid think twice about things.
Mabelle was right about that, though. They had the same perception of things, and she thought it would make the two of them work together properly.
“Okay, I’m on it, Mabelle. What are we going to do to make Krisna Heberth’s life miserable?” Asthrid agreed to Mabelle at last. They both smiled devilishly, and they shook hands to conceal their deal.
To Asthrid, it was a huge favor on her part because she was still growing suspicious that Krisna and Alpha Grant were the ones fated to each other, and she couldn’t let that happen. Why would she just give the man of her dreams to the woman she hated the most?
Mabelle walked in her direction, closing the gap between them, and then she leaned closer to her to whisper in her ear. “Bring Krisna Heberth to the ball, and that’s where the magic happens. We are going to embarrass her in front of the crowd.” Mabelle told her which gave an idea to Asthrid.
After a while, Asthrid just looked at Mabelle, then she eventually agreed. “I agree on that one. That’s a great idea.” She told her with an evil smile on her face. “This was going to be a good Annual Pack Gathering.” She added.
