Chapter 38: Anger of Betrayal

*Krell* Because of Kasim, we had a bad time with Mia. I returned to my tent angrily and felt that the woman was really stupid. She couldn't even tell that he was trying to make us turn our backs on each other. She had been so protective of him. I really wanted to open her brain to see what it was made of. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I clenched my fist and slammed it on the bedding. Willard came in and said that Kasim was resting in Mia's tent. I sneered and said, "He's so nosey. He's a man, but he's more of a woman." Mia just had to fall for his tricks. That was just unacceptable. Willard was silent for a moment. Then, he said hesitantly, "Mia is a very kind person. What we did... was indeed a little too much." I narrowed my eyes. I didn't expect my brother, who had always been silent, to say such things. What he said might make sense, but I had been used to being in charge for a long time. In addition, I was angry now. I snorted. "You think that's too much? You think I am wrong? Hmph. His goal was very clear from the beginning. Let's see. If we don't chase him away from Mia, sooner or later, all of us will bear the consequences!" Willard pursed his lips and bowed silently before taking his leave. Although I refuted him, I carefully thought about what he said. From what I knew about Mia, she really couldn't accept killing Kasim directly. In her opinion, he was just a kid who tended to argue with me. She didn't know how important her identity was to all of the various packs. Right now, there were already quite a few people gathered around her. The appearance of Locas and Simon was already enough to make me feel nervous. Now that Kasim was here too, I was indeed a little impatient regarding this matter. 'Forget it, I'll talk to Mia tomorrow,' I rubbed my temples and thought to myself. The next morning, I got up early to talk to Mia. As soon as I arrived near her tent, I smelled Kasim. My face instantly darkened. "What is this sneaky brat doing here in Mia's tent in the morning?" I pulled open the tent with a dark expression. Unexpectedly, I saw two huge wolves, one brown and one white, lying with their necks crossed. The tent was filled with the smell of lust. I felt dizzy and the anger of betrayal engulfed my sanity. I roared in disbelief, "What did you do last night?" My voice woke up the two of them. A trace of panic flashed across Mia's eyes before she quickly calmed down. Meanwhile, Kasim looked at me with a provocative gaze and said hypocritically, "Don't blame Mia. I couldn't help it." "Couldn't help it? I think it's all part of your evil plan!" "Kasim, there's no need to explain to him." Mia seemed a little angry. She looked at me and said in a low voice, "Krell, go out first. It's really rude of you to barge in like this!" I laughed in anger at her words. I didn't know what she meant by saying there was no need for an explanation and that I was rude. 'Is it because I have been too kind so that now they think I am a pushover?' I flew into a rage and used my powerful alpha power to suppress them, preventing them from turning back into human form. I smiled sinisterly and looked at Kasim as if he was dead. "Do you know what happens to traitors in the Erindo pack?" Then I dragged them out of the tent without waiting for their reaction. I locked them in cages respectively, ignoring Mia's roars. This was quite a commotion, so it naturally alarmed the others. I watched coldly as she asked them for help. I smiled mockingly. Simon and Locas were probably very happy to see this happen. As for my brother, he could not do anything to disobey me. The ending was as I had guessed. No one helped her. I turned around coldly and returned to my tent. *** *Mia* Krell looked at me as if he had been betrayed. I felt guilty and panicked for a moment. Yesterday, I was indeed indulging in Kasim's gentleness and was a little impulsive. However, when I heard Kasim defending me, my heart softened. Krell might have feelings for me, but it was more control and possessiveness. If I had to choose between Krell and Kasim, I would rather be with Kasim. Besides, Krell's motives for approaching me might not have been simple from the very beginning. With this in mind, I calmed down. "Kasim, there's no need to explain to him. Krell, go out first. It's rude of you to barge in like this!" I wanted Krell to go out first. We could talk about this after he calmed down and we got ourselves together. I believed I already had someone in mind who I could spend the rest of my life with, so I could take this opportunity to make it public. If they had other motives, I thought they would be honest about it. I wouldn't turn them down if there was something I could do to help. After all, they really helped me a lot. That was the truth. But I never expected Krell to lock me up! After I was suppressed and couldn't return to my human form, he dragged me into a cage! I roared in disbelief, 'Krell! You can't do this to me! Let go of me!' Krell turned a deaf ear to my roar. I watched as he locked the cage door. I slapped the cage with my claws almost irritably. 'Krell, I do not belong to your pack! You have no right to treat me like this! What do you take me for?' I felt like I was being caged like an animal. The strong sense of humiliation made me feel very desperate and irritable. I originally thought that even if they had approached me on purpose, Krell would at least show me some respect after all this time. However, that was far from how things really were. He had never respected me! Nor did he treat me as a complete and independent person! The huge commotion alarmed the others. They gathered around. I waited for them to help me. However, none of them came to my rescue. I looked at Locas and Simon's cold eyes and felt as if my entire body was covered in ice. I remembered what Kasim had said and understood. That's right, they all have a purpose. As long as I didn't cooperate, they could force me to cooperate. I shifted my gaze to Willard. How about this reserved man with low self-esteem? What about him? Did he have the same purpose? I suppose so. I thought almost desperately, and then I saw that he was still silent as he turned and went back to the tent like the others. Why? Why are you doing this to me? Just because of my face? I almost broke down as I thought. I curled myself into a ball. Oh, moon goddess, please tell me. Why did you put me through this? All I want is to become a healer and live a stable life! Why can't you grant this smallest wish of mine? Time passed slowly. My heart was soaked in despair. I felt like I was wandering on the edge of madness. I was extremely close to going crazy. The sky turned dark and the camp fell into silence. Krell and the others were asleep. I had been hungry all day and my stomach throbbed. I lay on the ground and my last dignity made me refuse to eat the food placed in the corner of the cage. Suddenly, I saw Willard quietly approaching in the darkness. He stopped in front of the cage. I originally wanted to ignore him, but when I thought of the time I spent with him in the clinic, I said with the last bit of hope, "Willard, please let me go, okay?" Before he could answer, I continued, I don't want to stay in a cage. I feel disrespected like an animal in a pen. But I'm a Lycan! Why do I have to suffer like this? Ever since I was young, there were always disgusting people and things around me. No matter where I went, bad luck would always accompany me. When you guys came along, I thought I was finally lucky! I thought I could finally live the peaceful life I wanted! But why? Why did it become like this? Is it because of this face? Yes, it must be. Then I'll destroy it, okay? Will everything be okay if I destroy it? I muttered to myself like a maniac. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was feasible. In a daze, I seemed to raise my claws and slowly approach my face. "Mia! Stop it!" I heard Willard's anxious growl. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him blankly.
