DIANA
"As*hole!"
"B*stard!"
"Lowbred j*rk!"
I once again took a glance at the big, bad wolf walking beside me. And I scowled at him secretly when he really ignored my deliberate taunts at him.
However, whatever bad words or dirty curses I made, he still quietly walked with his paws, ignoring my deliberations.
Hmp. He's now acting like some almighty guy after all those pesky things he spouted on me? Did he think I was an easy person like that? For his information, I am a person who buried deep hatred. I'm also a person who wouldn't forgive and forget after a simple 'sorry'. Which he didn't even try hard to give me.
How irksome. If not because he's a guest that Alpha Frank is waiting for, together with that other troublesome king, I would have already done my best to get revenge on him!
And since I was once again irked by this obnoxious man, I looked up at him again with my dagger eyes. I wish I could dig holes in his big body with my eyes.
But I was surprised when his big wolf head suddenly looked back at me. Fortunately, I immediately looked away before he could see my look.
A loud snort coming from him was heard, riling me up again. I guess this man has that amazing ability to rile me up even with just his tiny actions. Because everything about him is really annoying!
"Pesky wolf! Hmp!" I tried to retort just to calm my bottling anger back to the bottle.
What's even with him? I was supposed to be the one who's acting wrong here, but why does he look more aggrieved and annoyed at me?
First and foremost, it was he who suddenly jumped at me, sandwiching me on the rock and even on the edge of the lake, despite my completely n*ked body. But since then, I've noticed his hidden animosity toward me, like I did something aggravating to him. One time he acted like a hungry predator, then he would suddenly turn like a wounded prey, offended by me.
Who was the real prey and predator? It was obvious to everyone.
That time, I tried to escape from him, who was caging me between his arms and the big rock. He suddenly rushed at me like some mad dog, forcing me to the edge of the lake. His predatory stare sent me scared and breathless, like he would just eat me up.
Then he suddenly called me a prost*tute! What made it more unbelievable was his reason for calling me that. Just because I was bathing at this time of the night, had he already concluded that I was a call girl assigned and prepared by the alpha for him? Just who is he for the alpha to put an effort in? Delusional j*rk!
And then the other one was just a moment ago before we started walking away. After he hastened me from dressing, he then hastened me to start leading the way back to the alpha's house.
For his information, I didn't know that he was coming with me, so the only thing I brought with me to change was a white loose sweater, aside from the bathrobe that I was wearing when I came to the lake. Since I was planning to enjoy my journey back, I appreciated the forest on my bare feet. And now that I need to come back with him, I also need to return with him in a hurry.
The man even had the nerve to walk with me in his n*ked glory, as he said that his clothes were broken and he did not remember where he left them. I tried to give him my bathrobe, but the nerve! He not only rejected my good will but also told me that he didn't want the smell of a human like me covering his body!
At that time, I just wanted to wipe him off the face of the earth. He deserves it anyway! What a maddening guy!
If you think it was all that, then think again. Because after that, he did another annoying thing!
Since he didn't want to get covered, I told him to shift into his wolf. Fortunately, at that time, he just obliged silently. But before he shifted, he looked at me and told me that I had short legs. If he wanted to run in his wolf form, then I would be left out.
I calmed myself as I spewed different mantras in my head, so I couldn't just stab him directly, even if I wanted to. How dare he call me shorty when I was the tallest female human among the pack! Although he did not call me that directly, it was still what his words were implying!
He's really lucky to have met me, because if it were others, he might have already been banned from our pack for making a pack member have a failed record of attempted murder. Damnit.
Anyway, that wasn't the deal. What I was trying to say is that he's a real p*rvert!
He suggested that I just ride him so we could come back faster. As if I would ride him with me n*ked below! I told him that, yet what he said is that I'm assuming things and that he didn't even want to touch any part of my body!
What a big liar! For all I know, it was all he was thinking with that suggestion of his. Did he think I did not notice him watching me with that thing below him having a standing ovation?
"Damn p*rvert!" I muttered between my teeth.
I just looked away from the man and stepped a little bit farther from him. I was just wasting my saliva and vocabulary words just to mock him, yet there he was, ignoring me all throughout our way back, so I decided to just shut up and ignore him too.
We were already nearing the other end of the forest, and soon we would finally reach the back of the mansion. Once we did, I could finally escape from this annoying man, change clothes, and go to sleep.
"Diana Smith!"
Or not…
Sh*t! Why are there so many people in the backyard? Now how am I supposed to return to my room as silent as when I left?
We just got completely out of the forest, and it was only a few meters away. I could return to my room undetected, but I was just planning everything in my head, including how I would use the window on the first floor that was adjacent to the back balcony of my room. Then everything was ruined.
Together with three other people I don't know, there was Alpha Frank, who was looking at me helplessly; Luna Michelle, who looked so angrily; and the Nero guys, who were absolutely laughing at me.
That j*rk! Why am I surrounded by j*rks? Damnit!
Now how am I going to escape the wrath of Luna Michelle? She was obviously angry, although I had seen her surprised when she saw me with this big wolf, but it was only for a split second before she turned to anger.
"L-Luna Michelle..." I tried calling her in my sweetest voice while smiling at her in the sweetest way.
Unfortunately, it didn't work like it always did. Although her face relaxed, her left eyebrow rose, which meant she was really mad at me. If it was her right eyebrow on a rise, then that means she's just curious or whatever. Unfortunately, it was the left eyebrow in an arch like a mountain.
How did they even know that we were about to come out in the forest? With the way they stood up in the backyard, staring at us, it was obvious that they were really waiting for us.
Did the man with me tell them something? But how? I did not see him carrying any mobile phones. So just how did he remind the people in the house?
With that conjecture, I once again glanced at the big, bad wolf beside me and glared at him hatefully. He's like a menace. Hmp!
"Now, now. Let's skip that for tomorrow, Mich. As for you, Diana, go back to your room first and then change. After that, join us at the dining table for a midnight snack." Alpha Frank cajoled Luna Michelle, and it worked!
I smiled widely at Alpha Frank while I ran inside the house as fast as I could before Luna Michelle called me out and stopped me from successfully escaping.
I did not stop running until I reached the second floor, entered my room, and locked it. Leaning on the closed door, I sighed in relief.
I thought I would be scolded like a child in front of those unknown people. It would normally be fine for me since I'm used to it. But if there were other people in the audience, then I couldn't accept that.
Fortunately, Alpha Frank is the person who understands me the most. Because he also knew just how Luna Michelle was. That's why he helped me this time, although I am sure he couldn't help me next time once the Lycan king and his people left.
Speaking of the Lycan king, I didn't know which of the other three men was the Lycan king. I was so nervous and in a hurry to escape that I forgot to look at them one by one. Anyway, as if I cared about that king.
I already met one of his men, and I could say they were the worst. As I said, I was surrounded by j*rks. Nero was the first j*rk, and his friend Yzekiel was the second j*rk. There's also Daniel, a j*rk ex boyfriend of mine. And the last j*rk in my life is Sandro, who is my only suitor and never stops, even if I've already busted him a hundred times.
And now that the obnoxious man in the lake has been added, I couldn't think of another j*rk to add to the list.
I took a fast shower to rinse myself off with the lake water. Then I wash my hair with shampoo and body soap for my body before rinsing. After that, I bought a new bathrobe and towel to keep my body dry while I was looking for new clothes.
Since it was already midnight, I just picked a proper night dress. It was a long, white satin dress. Long because the hem reaches the floor, and the sleeves are also long. It has a round neck, so compared with my usual night dress, it was the only one that was proper and not so revealing. And since I wasn't able to sleep yet, I wore a bra to cover my bo*bs.
"It's not my fault. It was you who was throwing yourself at me, seducing me. Are you a prostit*te prepared by your alpha to test and welcome me? Why did they even prepare a human with small t*ts to seduce me? Is your alpha trying to belittle me?"
I was clipping the strap of my bra when I remembered the words of that man. I could feel my cheeks reddening, not because of embarrassment but because of anger.
How dare he call my bo*bs small?
I subconsciously looked at the whole body in a mirror. I'm only in my underwear, so I could see my body. I lift my hands to my mounds, trying to measure them. And I pouted when I realized how small mine are compared with Tania and Cornelia, who had the smallest bo*bs of all the other she-wolves in the pack.
"That's already a given fact! Since I am a human, it's normal for me to have a smaller t*ts compared with those she-wolves! At least, compared with the other inborns like me, I have the biggest bo*bs. Sc*mbag, hmp!" I said to myself in front of the mirror.
Looking down at my bo*bs again, I scowled angrily before grabbing the night dress and wearing it.
"What a bo*b man!"
After dressing, I took my time walking down the stairs. I know that I have already spent so much time rinsing and dressing, despite the fact that we still have guests to entertain and accommodate.
The house is not that big, so I finally reached the dining room sooner, despite my deliberation to slow my pace. And there I saw everyone sitting very silently like they were at a funeral.
But when I looked around to see everyone, I did not see Alpha Frank and that p*rvert around. I did not ask and just walked towards a seat beside Nero, who was silent while eating some snacks.
"You're finally here, D! I thought you fell asleep while bathing. What took you so long?" Nero silently asked as soon as I took the seat beside him.
I did not answer yet and took some chips from his bowl first. "I almost did," I lied, eating the chips in my hand.
He sneered at me, and I just rolled my eyes at him while glancing at the three guests sitting in front of me.
I did not take a closer look at them a while ago, so I am not sure what they look like. But now I could see them clearly. And in fairness, everyone has exceptional beauty in a handsome way.
Though that perv is still the most handsome among them.
Realizing my train of thought, I immediately shrugged it off. Like, why the hell did I say that? Geez! Maybe I'm just sleepy, so I can't control my thoughts anymore.
"By the way, Diana, since you weren't here when these men introduced themselves. I will introduce them to you one by one." Luna Michelle interrupted the silence.
Although I was not interested, I still acted like I was. Plastering a small smile on my lips, I looked at Luna Michelle, waiting for her introduction.
"That gentleman is Zamiel Hudson, the king's exceptional beta."
I looked at the person Luna Michelle was pointing at. It was the man sitting beside the middle chair, where Alpha Frank was supposed to be sitting.
The man has a very handsome face, with slightly long curly hair that can cover his fascinating brown eyes. He has those dark-brown straight eyebrows and a high nose. He also has thin and kissable-looking lips, which make him look sexy in a different way. Of course, that masculine body couldn't be hidden by his dark brown long sleeves.
"Beside him is the king's gamma, Cairo Adalwulf."
Contrary to that Zamiel guy, who looks like a living incubus, Cairo looks like a serious person. He has the same hair and eye color as Zamiel. If Zamiel looks like a philandering b*stard, then Cairo looks normal and loyal.
Looking at his perfectly brushed up hair and his high arch eyebrows paired with his protruding brown eyes. Even the way he's properly seated makes him look like a proper gentleman. Maybe he already has his mate. That is why.
"And the last man is the king's delta, Rendall Liulfr."
While Rendall looks different from the first two, he still looks handsome in his silver-rimmed glasses. Instead of hiding his eyes because of the glasses, they instead emphasize his almond eyes. Especially those beautiful amber eyes.
It didn't lessen his handsomeness at all, and if I had to rate them all, I prefer Rendall to rank first, followed by Cairo, and lastly, Zamiel. If not because the p*rvert was really more handsome than the three, then he would be the last among these three.
Maybe if I could add that king, I would make him the least handsome compared with his men. Speaking of the king, where the heck is he? Did he go with that p*rvert together with the alpha? Who's that p*rvert anyway? How can he come with the king and the alpha?
And maybe to answer my questions, after almost an hour of talking in the office, Alpha Frank, together with the p*rvert returned. Both of their faces looked so serious. The p*rvert were walking ahead of Alpha Frank.
I tried to look behind them to see if there was a Lycan king, but it was only those two who were walking our way. Did the Lycan king need to be so secretive and mysterious that he didn't want to show himself to people like me?
"Let's go," Mr. P*rvert seriously said to the other three men.
And I couldn't help myself from rolling my eyes when the man never looked at me, not even once or with a fast glance. What is he trying to do now? Hmp!
The three musketeers, namely Rendall, Cairo, and Zamiel, stood up. Even Luna, Michelle, and Nero stand up, so I slowly stand too and follow behind when everyone walks over the two.
"Your Highness, do you really have to go now? You haven't eaten a bite yet," Luna Michelle hurriedly asked.
But that wasn't what made me stop on the tracks. To make sure that I understood and saw it correctly, I looked at Luna Michelle and the p*rvert back and forth, yet Luna Michelle was still looking at the p*rvert with hopeful eyes.
"What? It's you! You are the demon king!" I exclaimed while pointing my hand at the p*rverted man.
Finally, the man's eyes fell on me, along with everyone's shock and petrified eyes. But I ignored them as my shock turned into a glare like the man had done something offensive.
Well, he did! Why would I even call him a p*rvert!
But that's not it! This man not only deliberately sneak-attacked me while I was bathing in the lake, but then m*lested me in a sneaky way. He also as*aulted me with words and accusations, and now he even lied to me! How dare he?
"Diana! Manage your words!" Luna Michelle berated me, and I immediately shut my mouth.
But I did not turn my gaze to the man, who also never turned away from my sight. So we stared at each other, and if it were only real, with how we glared at each other, there might really have been sparks in the air.
"Excuse her words, Your Highness. Diana is not used to meeting royalty, and she did not study proper etiquette." Luna Michelle tried to explain, but she was rudely cut off by the so-called Lycan king.
Tss. Now he's showing his real character. He's really annoying. Not only his p*rverted side but also his rude and "unpleasant" character, who really isn't a royal-ish attitude but more of those rogues.
"There's no need, Luna Michelle. But I would like to suggest you start teaching her from now on so she will know how to properly treat a royal like me," he said to Luna Michelle, but his eyes were still staring back at me.
I could even see the slight lift of the side of his lips like he was mocking me, and it really irks me. The nerve! I would never show him the respect he wanted, even if he called for my head!
"We have to go, Luna Michelle, Alpha Frank. I hope you can think about it, Alpha Frank. I will wait for your answer after two weeks. Thank you for that–" He suddenly trailed off and looked at me again with that irritating smile of his. "–Warm accommodation. See you soon." And there he turned away.
Everyone followed after him, leaving me alone in the dining room, flustered and fuming mad. Since they were all there to send the damned king away, then I would not bother to go, or I would have sent him back to the Moon Goddess so she could properly give birth to him with the proper character for a lycan king.
"What a j*rk! So annoying!" I angrily ran and stormed out of the dining room, going to my room to sleep away my annoyance.
