Chapter 239 - That Hysterical Woman Again?
The man was slightly taller than me, with blonde hair and a lean figure. I could not see his face as I twisted his hand behind his back further for trying to grab my hand without my permission. His back arched with pain as I could hear the gasps from around me.
It was mostly the ladies who gave me a look that said 'has she no shame being a lady?'
I had observed it here a lot that most of the people liked to live a standard life and since most of the things in Adalolpha worked in a century-old pattern, so did these people.
The man grunted, "do you know whose son I am?"
I shrugged, twisting his hand further till only groans left his lips, "like I said, I wouldn't care even if you were the king himself."
"Girl, what do you think you are doing?" A woman walked to me.
She was obviously around my age and looked a lot familiar to me. I just could not fit the pieces right. "Showing him his place, of course," I replied with a smirk.
The more closer she came, the more familiar she looked, and it was not the good kind of familiar feeling.
The girl walked to me and grabbed my arm that was holding the man, "let go of him if you don't want to face something bad." She tried to loosen my hand but it only had the man groan in pain. She let go of me immediately as she folded her eyebrows in anger, "you let go of my father right now or I will see to it that your entire family is buried alive with you." The first piece of information was a little shocking. I mean, burying the family was funny because that was the last thing that would happen. At least not with the connections she had.
"This is your father?" I asked in a confused yet ridiculed tone, "he looks barely a decade older than you."
The girls growled in anger, "he is my stepfather." Her ego was lit the moment I had asked that question but the moment she answered it she realized that was not the point here, "I will tell minister Fang to burn your whole family down. He would not spare even a single cell in your body for doing that to my father."

I gasped, giving her a scared look, "minister F-fang! H-How do you know him?"
She smirked with pride, finding a place in her eyes. Her neck straightened and all about her father's situation was forgotten in an instance. Now that she mentioned Fang, small flashes of memories came back to me from Waterwoods, but it was still tough to figure out who she was. "He is my lover, we are going to marry soon," said the girl as if it was a big thing. The way others reacted to it, it actually seemed like it was a big thing.
"Lover? that sounds cheap," I remarked without skipping a beat.
It only frustrated her further, breaking all the pride that was built up inside her. "You-"
"You know what," I said, as I held in my laughter, "if you are going to marry Fang, then I am going to be the queen of Adalolpha." There was a series of laughter that erupted in the crowd and it was enough to embarrass the girl. I let go of her father after patting his back, "and the queen has decided to be generous with your step papa today. Shoo now, do invite me to your wedding, though. It would be an honor for you to have me there."
Without missing a beat, the girl leaped for my throat, claws bearing.
I grabbed her wrist before it could even come close to my throat. However, she did not stop there. She brought another hand up to slap me but I held it with my free hand. "You really don't learn easy, do you?" I said before I pulled her fast towards me and slammed my forehead against hers. When I let go of her hands, she was lightheaded as she tumbled back when her father caught her.
The ladies around me gasped
"How rowdy is that girl! Who even invited her?"
"I think she must be with someone here."
"True, Mr Gillard would never know someone like her. You should really not judge a book by its cover. I mean, look how beautiful she looks but her actions..."
My eyes turned to the others with mirth dancing in them. Today I was feeling a little extra with my fighting spirit. My brain strongly thought about how good it would be to just smash these faces into the ground to show them their place. I turned back to see the girl, who held her head and narrowed her eyes before blinking. She was definitely not in the condition to even stand straight. Even after that, the girl growled with her eyes turning a bright shade of yellow as she pushed her father back and stumbled towards me.
Before she could reach me with her fist, she was jerked back by a strong arm wrapped around her waist. "What are you doing, Sylvie?" Bane asked in his monotonous voice.
Sylvie? I recalled a lot of things.
[ "Sylvie put the weapon down." Fang's words came as a command, and I could feel his blood boiling.
"It is only me who will stay by your side," Sylvie was going hysterical for no reason. Even when I had nothing to do with Fang. Fang took a step ahead when Sylvie pulled me back, "and you tried to kill me just for this nobody. I was just trying to get her out of the way and be good to Liam, give him a mate. So you and I could be together forever. But turns out there is another girl, and this girl is closer to you than me."
My hands were raised ahead, ready to counterattack, but the knife was too close and Sylvie needed to drop her guard for a moment so I could turn it around.
"Sylvie," Fang growled as his teeth turned jagged, canines slowly growing. "I am going to say this for the last time. Put. The weapon. Down"]
Goosebumps washed over my body, remembering the Fang I had seen back then. It was long back during the trials for Beta when my carelessness had almost got me marked by a rogue wolf. I remembered those light brown eyes now. Sylvie was some minister's granddaughter, if I recalled it correctly. Though right now it seemed like she did not recall me well. Back then, she was pissed just because I could address Fang by his name.
Even though there was an odd tingle in my hand to break into a fight right away, I did not want to her go hysterical again.
Upon seeing Bane, Sylvie was a little shocked, but she immediately broke out into tears, "Bane, she is disrespecting the Alpha. Even after I told her how close he is with me, she made fun of him."
Bane turned to me with a pitiful look, and I simply rolled my eyes.
"Our Alpha has broken all his ties with you," Bane did not hold back at all with his words, "Please refrain from using his name to get things. I am sure using your grandfather's would benefit you equally."
Wow, that was very kind of him to give her another option.
Sylvie sniffed hard to drink back her fake tears. This was not a place where she was being favored and Power wise I had already shown her place to her. Respect wise, it would be difficult to play with her reputation anymore. "Let's go now," her father circled his arm around her shoulder, "better leave before things get bad."
Sylvie jerked her shoulder to get his arm away from over her shoulder, "I will take care of you soon." She stomped towards the main door.
It looked like she was taking care of her reputation for some reason that would benefit her in the future. She wasn't getting Fang, that was for sure, and I doubted any other suitor for her would do any better.
When Bane was about to approach me, I widened my eyes, shaking my head before I turned to leave the spot where the scene had happened. I did not want Sylvie to remember me. Having another headache right now would only mean bloodshed. Besides, I was not feeling my normal self who held back. There was so much energy built inside me waiting to be spent right now. I did not understand what was happening to me but it was not good for public places.
The public around me moved immediately to make way for me, and I did not even bother to look at them.
With my head held high, I walked past as if, if anyone was to try to even talk to me, they would face the worst of me. Knowing the girl was Sylvie was only more frustrating for me. How could she even say Fang was her lover? That was the past and that bitch dare still try to own him. My fist clenched and I stomped away to find a seat in the corner. The people around that corner steered clear of me and it was better for them to do that.
My eyes moved to the stairs to the inside of the mansion. Fang, better be back soon or I don't know what I would end up doing.
It was funny how I was seeking my calm in that man even now. It was more frustrating to not have him by my side so I could kick his ass and he could just.... calm me down, as usual.
