Chapter 39

Heather's POV:
My throat felt like it was about to be choked, and it was so hard to even breathe that I couldn't answer Bonnie's question. And I had a feeling that my answer would only make her more angry.
"Hey, you rude woman, get off her!" Bria reacted and immediately pounced on me, trying to break Bonnie's grip on me.
"Get out of my way, I'm going to kill this woman!" Bonnie pushed Bria out of the way, her eyes glaring at me with a vicious glare.
The first thing I did was to get to the bottom of the tree, and Bonnie grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up, and I stomped around a few times.
But I knew I couldn't pass out, or I might never wake up again. In the critical situation, I thought of the sea scale inside my body. Perhaps because I was now too eager to get the help of the sea scale, I quickly found its location and urged the power of the ocean.
In an instant, I felt my whole body filled with power, I squeezed Bonnie's wrist hard, heard the sound of broken bones, Bonnie screamed, finally let go of the hand.
Without any support, I immediately fell to the ground in a limp, covering my neck and coughing hard, and the danger disappeared my strength was gone.
"Go to hell, Aemon is mine." Bonnie's fractured hand was hanging at her side in a weird position, yet she was still trying to attack me with her other hand.
Suddenly, a sound wave that only a mermaid would make rang out around her, Bonnie's body followed and stopped, her eyes were fierce one second, then became lax the next. bria covered her chest and came out from behind Bonnie, giving her two slaps as she walked up to her, "Bitch, how dare you hit me!"
"Heather, how are you doing?" Bria walked over to me and helped me up.
"It's fine, my throat just hurts a little ...... Why can't I say anything?" I looked to Bria in panic, despite the fact that I was vocalizing hard, what came out was an airy sound, which made me a little anxious.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just temporary, let's go see a doctor." Bria reassured me.
"What about her?" I looked over at Bonnie, who was still standing in place with dull eyes, like a puppet.
"Just leave her alone, she'll come to her senses when we leave later." Bria said in an indignant voice: "I must go and tell Aemon to show him how his people treat us."
"I think she likes Aemon," I said in an airy voice, my throat hurting like a razor blade with every word I uttered.
"Well, you need to stop talking, your voice needs a break." Bria said.
We first went back to the place Aemon arranged for us, Zoie see are me and Bria are injured also very angry, and we can not leave Busa forest now, Zoie had to contact Aemon.
When I found out I was hurt, Aemon said he would come over immediately, and he even gave me a few words of concern over the phone. I thought it was okay, I was used to being bullied anyway, but when Aemon was concerned about me, a wave of aggravation welled up in my heart.
I can't think about anything else now, I just want to hug Aemon and cry.
But when Aemon rushed over, he was followed by two others, an older man and a little girl, whose features were somewhat similar to Bonnie's, their eyes cold and dangerous.
"Heather!" said Aemon, running toward me, looking anxious.
I was relieved to see that Aemon's attitude toward me remained the same, and I took a few steps forward. I opened my mouth to call his name, but nothing came out.
"Damn Bonnie!" Aemon cupped my face and lifted my jaw slightly as he observed my neck with distress. I had just looked at it in the mirror, and there were several bruises and bruises that looked ugly on the thin white neck.
I immediately covered my neck with my hands and shook my head at him with a frown. aemon pulled my hands away and held me in his arms, saying comfortingly, "Heather, don't worry, I'll find a community doctor to fix you."
"Aemon, don't you forget that Bonnie is hurt too." A calm voice sounded behind us, from the older man.
"That's what she deserved, she was the one who did it to Heather first." Bria said as she stepped forward, looking at the man with disdain.
The man gave Bria a grim look, then when we didn't see it, he dodged in front of Bria and slapped her twice, and Bria's mouth immediately bled.
"That's two slaps you owe my daughter."
"Bria!" both Zoie and I yelled at the same time, my voice not coming out.
"Vito!" Aemon roared back at the man.
I felt an overwhelming sense of anger inside me, and the power of the sea scales filled my body again. I raised my fist and swung it at the man's face, and the man raised his hand to try to ward off my attack, but he was still knocked away.
I gave him a cold look and turned to look worriedly at Bria's red and swollen cheek, but Bria looked shocked and reacted before saying with surprise, "Nice shot!" Heather, you are so handsome!
Zoie heartily stroked her daughter's face while giving me an appreciative look, "Heather, congratulations, you have stimulated the latent ability of the sea scale."
Bria hadn't seen how I escaped from Bonnie before and didn't know that I had already used this ability once. But this ability is very physically demanding, and I now have no strength left at all.
"Aemon, you saw it, this woman is so powerful, how could Bonnie hurt her? It was clearly because she learned that Bonnie was your fiancée that she hurt Bonnie out of jealousy, and now she's deliberately injuring herself to sue you." Vito was helped up by the little girl, his pale face covered with beads of sweat the size of grains, his expression painful.
Aemon's fiancée?Is Bonnie Aemon's fiancée? I looked at them incredulously, and subconsciously looked at Aemon for an answer.
Aemon also looked at me in shock, but he still said immediately when I looked at him, "Vito, don't be ridiculous. I never admitted that Bonnie is my fiancée, it's Heather that I like and my future mate is Heather."
Hearing Aemon's voice so firm, I suddenly didn't worry about anything.
Vito's face became more ugly, and he questioned Aemon in a deep voice: "Did Bonnie get beaten for nothing? You let this kind of dangerous people live in the forest, the community's safety is not guaranteed at all!"
"Yes, I saw them injure my sister and use witchcraft on her, my sister has a broken hand and is still lying in bed delirious." The little girl next to Vito pointed at me and Bria.
"Hey kid, don't be ridiculous! I just made her temporarily unconscious, that's what every mermaid is capable of, and if she's not awake yet, then she must be faking it!" Bria argued with her.
"Aemon, what do you think should be done? You are the one who brought the outsiders in, and now that this has happened, you must give us an explanation, or else ...... otherwise I'm afraid no wolves will be willing to obey you." Vito looked at Aemon with a very threatening tone.
"Are you threatening me?" Aemon looked at Vito indifferently, "The fight between werewolves has always been only about winning and losing, you and Bonnie are injured because you are not as strong as Heather, what you need to do is to go back and exercise, not come here to provoke me!"
After Aemon finished speaking, Vito's features twisted in anger and he said in a fierce voice, "Well, if that's the case, can't Bonnie issue a challenge to Heather as well? Even if Bonnie kills this woman on the challenge stage, you won't blame her, right?"
Aemon was silent for a moment and coldly refused, "Heather is not yet considered a member of our tribe ......"
"Heh, Aemon, isn't that very biased of you?" Vito interrupted him with a sneer, "You are our future chief, yet you are partial to a foreigner, how can we trust you?"
Aemon frowned and was about to say something else when I pulled him and nodded to him to signal my acceptance of the challenge. I didn't want Aemon's identity to be compromised because of me.
Aemon's brow knitted tighter, not sure if he didn't understand, or disagreed.
"What Heather meant was that she was up for the challenge." Zoie explained for me.
"I know, but it's too dangerous." Aemon said.
"Let Heather go." Zoie whispered to Aemon, "If she can win once, she can win a second time, and this is a workout for her. If things don't go right, we'll definitely save her."
"Okay." Aemon compromised, he looked at me and said seriously, "Heather, protect yourself, in my heart, the position of chief is definitely not as important as you."
I smiled and nodded at him. aemon looked up at Vito, "Heather can accept Bonnie's challenge, but if Bonnie loses, she has to apologize to Heather."
"No problem, if Bonnie wins, you have to get them out." Vito said immediately.
"Fine, but you can't accept the challenge until Heather's injuries have healed, and in the meantime, none of you are allowed to bother Heather again, or I'll expel you all from the pack." Aemon said in a cold voice.
