Chapter 97
Maria sighed at her mate’s intervention, the man could not sit still when dealing with sneaky two faced people. Well he really had a point, so she really applauded him inside her mind. As for the others at the table, of course they would not dare comment in the presence of the king.
Brianna froze, not knowing what to reply. Her sister was hurt but they, as her family, did not feel it. The bond had been weakened between them because of what happened at the Luna ceremony, so none of them felt it when she was attacked. The only one who was still close to Celia, Daniel, had not shifted yet so could not feel the bond.
Her answer of worrying equally each day was a wrong step. She should not have said that.
At this time, Salas did not speak at all and Celia was still looking expressionless as always. Like the discussion was not about her.
Feeling suffocated on what to say next, Brianna felt agitated and it made her belly hurt a bit. This helped her clear her mind.
“My sister was hurt?” She asked worriedly, placing a hand on her protruding belly. She also bent at little to show she was in pain.
Celia sighed, she did not know if her sister was truly hurting or not, but it was never her intention to hurt a child. She closed her eyes and opened them again, and finally spoke.
“Your highness, my sister is not feeling well. Can I go and help her to the bathroom and check her?” Celia asked Salas respectfully.

“Yes of course. Go and look after her!” Salas said gently to her, but no worry on his face about the other person could be seen. He had not looked in Brianna’s direction since he permitted her to raise
her head.
Having said this, he quickly rose on his feet and pulled her chair away to help her up.
Celia thanked him and excused herself from the table, walking in her sister’s direction.
She lightly took her hand and really walked her to the bathroom.
They did not say a word as they walked. Celia was too disgusted with Brianna to actually talk to her.

Brianna also did not say a word, she did not even look behind her when Cella walked away. She was frustrated that nothing went as she had envisioned. It seemed that she would have to use the other
method.
Opening the door of the ballroom, Cella came face to face with Yvonne. She apologized and slightly bowed, making way for the latter and giving her priority to pass through the door.
Yvonne passed and did not even say a word of thank you, walking confidently ahead.
Cella was not one to mind such things, so she did not bother and was about to go inside the ballroom.
“Do you know of the event called Battle Royale, miss alpha?” Asked Yvonne, with a high screechy voice. It was a voice totally different from when she spoke to his highness. It was a type of voice Celia recognized hearing once before, some moments ago.
Indeed, her sister had the same change in the tonality of her voice. She changed so fast from sweet to bitter in a matter of moments depending on who she was speaking to, or depending on whether she needed something or not.
It was a character trait she had found cute when her sister used it when she was young, but nowadays it annoyed her quite a lot, as it made her seem like she was a person one could easily
mock.
“Yes I do.” Celia replied, as she turned around looking at Yvonne.
The unwavering look from Celia’s eyes and the tinniest bit of aura she sensed from her, made Yvonne flinch a bit, although unnoticeable. But she still did not back down, she had done a lot to become someone worthy to be the queen of all werewolves. Just a small confrontation, after a long
road that she had already followed, was nothing.
“And do you know what it implies?” Asked Yvonne again, with a small smile on her face.
“Can you please get to the point of why you stopped me from leaving?” Celia said sighing. She did not want to seem rude, but she was a straightforward person. Talking in a roundabout way was not
her cup of tea.
“I will, Miss alpha. I just wanted to make sure you knew of it, because I wanted to invite you to hold the Battle Royale together with me tonight.” Confidently said Yvonne folding her arms in front of her chest. She looked as though she was offering Celia an opportunity to make Yvonne herself shine.
Studying history and general knowledge at the Academy, Celia knew of the battle, but she did not understand why Yvonne wanted to select her as an opponent.
The Battle Royale was a fight in which, in the past, at the end of each year a single werewolf could

challenge the king for his throne. But as the gap in ranking got wider, the battle was deemed futile. The difference of the first rank of the king was about 100 times greater than the second rank.
