Chapter 71 Alina's Request
Warren's POV:
I looked away from Alina. After a moment's hesitation, I said, "Fighting in private is against the school rules."
Moreover, I was a tall, strong werewolf. How could I attack a weak she-wolf?
"All right, then let them bully me to death. You don't have to worry about it!"
Alina cried. She sat in a corner of the sofa and buried her face in her arms. It broke my heart to see how pitiful she looked.
"It's not that I don't want to help you. Alina. I will be expelled from the school if I fight in private. If that happens, then I..."
'I wouldn't be able to see you again,' I murmured to myself silently. I was too embarrassed to say that though. All I could do was helplessly stare at her. If possible, I would even bring Prince Rufus here and force him to be Alina's date to the ball.
"Then go and get rid of Sylvia!" Alina said as she raised her head and looked at me. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her nose was red and blotchy.
"I..." I thought about it for a long time but couldn't make a decision.
"I'm not asking you to overdo anything. You can cause small accidents. Think, Warren. You are a smart guy. I know you'd come up with something." The expectation in Alina's eyes made my heart quiver. I didn't know what to do.
Seeing that I was silent, she grew angry and glared at me. "I just asked you to do a small favor for me. You can't even do that? Not even for me? Why are you so reluctant? You weren't like this
before."
There was a hint of disappointment in Alina's tone. She had never been like this before. For the first time, I felt the distance between us had increased.
Getting rid of Sylvia was a piece of cake for me. But it was against my values. I couldn't do anything against my principle. My father had taught me to be a dignified werewolf ever since I was a child. If I used some dirty means to achieve my goal, I would be no different than a rat in the gutter.
"All right. You can leave then." Alina turned around. "We don't need to see each other anymore." The firmness in her voice made me anxious.
I immediately forgot my father's advice. Kindness and morality suddenly seemed meaningless. Only the she-wolf in front of me was real.
"Alina, your wish is my command. I'm willing to do anything for you."
"Just break Sylvia's leg before Friday and make sure she wouldn't be able to attend the ball." Alina turned to look at me, and I finally saw her smiling.
I felt relieved to see that she had finally stopped crying. Eventually, I had no choice but to agree.
After I returned to school, I had to take thirty laps as a punishment because I had taken leave for no valid reason. I accepted the punishment without any protest. There were rules everywhere. I was willing to abide by the rules and bear the consequences if I failed.
Accomplishing Alina's task was difficult. My father had raised me to be a principled werewolf ever since I was a child. But Alina had been begging me to do something against my morals and ethics. I was in a dilemma. I thought about it while running.
After that, I went to the canteen. As expected, there was no food left.
There was no one in the canteen except Sylvia and her friends. Sylvia also saw me, but I ignored her. She was the reason behind Alina's sadness, and the same reason I had to abandon my conscience. I felt disgusted to even look at her.
I didn't expect Sylvia to take the initiative to talk to me. She offered to share food with me. I didn't even look at her. I made sarcastic remarks at her because I felt she was a hypocrite.
And the she-wolf beside her, Flora, looked stupid. But I still recognized that she was from the same pack as mine.
"Why are you making friends with the slave? It's going to bring shame to our pack, you know." I warned Flora.
My words irritated Harry. He grabbed my collar and threatened to beat me. At that moment, I wanted to throw caution to the wind and fight him. However, if I did so, I'd be expelled from school for violating the school rules. That way, I didn't have to break my head, trying to figure out what to do.
But Harry stopped after listening to Sylvia's words. We didn't fight. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Soon, it was time for class. The first class was all about introducing ourselves, enabling our trainer to understand us better. Two students would have to pair up and close combat but it didn't have to be a fierce fight. We only had to exhibit our skills.
Surprisingly, Blair assigned me and Sylvia to the same group. My heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, I couldn't avoid the inevitable. Since the opportunity came to me, I gritted my teeth and decided to find the chance to attack Sylvia for the sake of Alina.
