Chapter 8

Lsabella's pov :
I got up from the ground, and behind us, a lot of people had stopped, and they were casting curious glances towards the place. But Jasper didn't seem to care at all, and I didn't care if he didn't.
"It was an accident, I didn't know Olivia was in the garden at the time."
"An accident?!" Jasper rushed up and grabbed me by the throat, and I was forced to gaze into his scarlet eyes, "If you had killed Olivia outright that day, would you have said 'it was an accident' as plainly as that?!"
I understand that Olivia is not well and is easily injured, but I think Jasper is just crazy and his assumptions simply don't hold water.
I was in his chokehold and glared at him coldly as well, "I think you should first ask that gamma Silas why he came to pick a fight with me, don't you want me to stay in peace until I leave in two months?"
Jasper frowned for a moment, but immediately sneered again: "Aren't you able to give everything for your pack? A small provocation makes you forget your oath?
If you hurt Olivia again, I'll crush your pack!"
Jasper turned and left. He drank away the crowd of spectators and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
I went back to my room and gently closed the door.
I reached up and touched my neck, there was no longer any pain, but I could still see a few red marks in the mirror.
To be honest the current situation only made me more suspicious. The fact that Jasper was threatening me like a madman in front of that many people only meant that Olivia was very important in his mind.
I thought the two of them were fond of each other, such a close relationship Jasper actually would not marry her?
So Jasper's behavior was completely incomprehensible to me. What exactly was his purpose in asking me to stay here for two months?
"Lsabella?"
"I'm in."
Xavier suddenly turned on the mind link and I had a momentary moment of panic, I was worried that Xavier had sensed the terrible situation I was in. I think sometimes my Beta cares more about the Alpha's dignity than I do.
"Did something happen?"
"No, everything's fine."
"That's good. Any word on the moonstone yet?"
"Not yet."
Although it was soothing to hear Xavier's voice, I snorted, "What do you want from me if there's nothing going on?"
"Sorry...I...we missed you."
Thinking about Blood Moon Pack's family softened my heart a lot.
"I'll be back soon, and while I'm gone, you tell everyone to protect themselves."
"Okay, I know."
I don't know how long it took, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted my reading, and a maid's voice came from the door, "Miss Lsabella, your dinner has arrived."
I opened the door to see an ordinary maid carrying a small steak and a glass of red wine. I frowned, why is this Blue Moon Pack's food so bad, it's not as good as our Blood Moon Pack.
But I just had a fight with Jasper, and I don't know if Wyatt will have time if I go to him directly, so let's leave this meal for today.
The maid put down her plate and ran, looking at her flight-like back, I suddenly felt I might have been targeted.
I didn't leave my room for the rest of the day, and I'll soon be able to read all the books on my room's shelves, so what will I have to do to pass the time then.
I lay on my bed, remembering what happened during the day. I'm not very good at dealing with emotional entanglements like this, and instead of leaving me stranded, I'd rather dedicate my life to Blood Moon Pack.
But I also do so entirely for Blood Moon Pack, so I do not have to care about anything else, peace of mind, and wait for the departure of two months later even if it is a complete completion of the task.
I reached out and stroked my neck, the red marks on it had disappeared. If Jasper, that madman, would only go crazy because of Olivia, I just need to stay away from Olivia, can't I avoid most of the trouble?
I felt a twinge in my heart.
"What's going on?"
"It's the MATE relationship, you need a partner to calm down."Nut came into my head at the right time.
The sudden arrival of the cramping sensation caught me a little off guard as I squirmed painfully on the bed with pressure on my heart.
"How can there be such a thing? Where do you want me to find my own MATE?"
"Usually the mated relationship isn't as twisted as yours."
I was too sore to speak, not to mention ignoring Nut's sarcasm, cold sweat was already falling drop by drop-down my forehead, wetting my pillow, and I was in silent agony, wondering how I was going to make it through the night.
It's all so ridiculous that I have to feel pain because of Jasper when I clearly don't like him and he's the only antidote to my pain.
But I might as well not know that. After all, I had just had a conflict with Jasper during the day, and it would be nice for him to leave me alone, so how could I ask him to comfort me?
The pain made my thoughts drift uncontrollably.
I suddenly remembered when I used to train with Xavier, our training was very hard, but Xavier never shouted in pain, he gritted his teeth and endured without saying a word even if he was seriously injured.
I was so competitive at that time that I didn't cry out in pain. When Xavier bandaged me up, he would ask me why I was holding back my tears when I could cry if I wanted to. But I never told him why.
I don't know what Xavier is up to now, but I don't have time to contact him again today.
Half-asleep, I seemed to hear the sound of an old song that I could only hear at the end of my training as a child, an old song sung by the elders of the community, which has the magical effect of stabilizing the mind.
In this melodious melody, my pain also seems to be really reduced to light, consuming a lot of energy I finally entered a pain-free sleep.
It was a pleasant morning, and before I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of birds singing outside my window.
I was about to get up and wash up when I suddenly noticed a person lying next to the bed.
Jasper was sitting on the chair next to the bed, asleep against my bed.
I was shocked, but I didn't wake him up.
I didn't think I would see Jasper again like this, how could he be in my room? I remembered that I fell asleep in pain last night, was it Jasper's arrival that made me fall asleep without any problem?
But why would he come to my room?
Jasper looked tired, and all the tossing and turning I had just done hadn't woken him up, and I heard his steady breathing.
I'm in a bit of a pickle, I can't sleep anymore, but I don't dare to leave at this point either, my opening the door will definitely wake him up, and then we'll be wide-eyed and embarrassed.
I looked at Jasper again, I found that his looks were actually very handsome, although his features were not as delicate as Xavier's, his angular face had a unique wild temperament.
It was as if I had fallen into it, and there was no way to pull my gaze away.
Then in the next second, I suddenly met Jasper's gray eyes, and the moment he opened them, his eyes locked on me.
I was startled and pretended that nothing had happened, but my eyes shifted and I never dared to look at him again.
Jasper shook his tingling arm and opened his mouth to explain to me: "I passed by your room yesterday and smelled you before I came over. You're my mate, and I'm not going to just watch you die."
So that was it, I had fallen asleep last night only after he had soothed me.
"Thank you," I snapped in a panic, "for making a point of coming to soothe me."
Jasper paused for a moment and repeated coldly, "I told you, I'm not going to watch you die like that."
The maid brought the breakfast, Jasper was still in his room, and I deBetad whether it was the right time to call the maid in.
"You put in..."
"Come in." Jasper's voice drowned out mine, and I looked at him in confusion, but he looked indifferent: "I'll go first."
The maid opened the door and stood in the doorway with the tray in a confused manner, she looked scared of Jasper, but then she foolishly got in Jasper's way.
I already had a feeling how Jasper would reprimand her, so I got out of bed and tried to take the tray from this maid instead of having the image of a reprimanded servant in my room early in the morning.
But everything that followed was so fast that before I could touch the tray, there was a sudden flash of people at the door. A man rushed in, apparently not anticipating that there was a man standing inside the half-open door.
The ensuing collision sent the tray flying right out of the maid's hand, and it was all so quick that my poor breakfast fell to the floor and a small loaf of bread wobbled and rolled to a halt as it hit my feet.
"What the hell!"
The man who had flown in immediately rose from the floor upon hearing Jasper's chortle, "Sir! Miss Olivia's sick again."
Jasper didn't pause for a second, he immediately stepped over the mess on the floor and grabbed the door.
I looked at his back and felt a little sad, how could I not have the good fortune of being loved like this?
I rubbed my chest as if there was some pain again.
Jasper's pov :
The set appeared in my mind again: If you brought her back to use Lsabella, then you shouldn't be so nice to her."
What did I do?
I really only passed by Lsabella's room last night, after all, she lives on the next floor from my room, but I smelled the smell emanating from my MATE across the distant hallway.
So it was the smell that drew me to her room.
Set told me that my MATE needed her partner to be soothed. Although I was frowning, I sat down in front of Lsabella's bed and just quietly watched her sleeping face.
I have to admit, Lsabella is very beautiful. In the quiet state, all her annoying rebellious temperament was collected and I was able to observe her looks without disturbance.
I don't know if it was Lsabella's misfortune or luck that she and I had such a strong connection. What would have been the story between her and me if we had met in a different way?
I don't know when I fell asleep, I felt a burning sight wandering over me, Lsabella was awake and she was looking at me.
When eyes met, her panic overshadowed mine.
But in my mind, Olivia's importance trumped everything else.
"Lsabella is still useful to me, and I want to keep a good mate relationship with her, preferably one that will make her fall in love with me. When the moon is full in two months, that's when she'll come into play."
"You're not being fair to Lsabella like that."
"Fair?" What a ridiculous word, a grim smile seeped out of the corner of my mouth, "Then blame her for being unlucky enough to become my MATE."
Declan knocked on the door and entered the conference room.
"It checks out, sir. The maid admitted that she received a bribe from Miss Charlotte, who instructed her to withhold Miss Lsabella's daily needs."
I closed my eyes tiredly, this Lsabella didn't want to be idle and always liked to move these little tricks. If it wasn't for the fact that
I needed her pack to help me guard the south side of Blue Moon Pack, how would I keep such a person by my side?
But didn't Lsabella notice that she was being treated badly? Why hadn't she come to me?
"Sir, how should we settle this matter?"
"Lsabella, no problems have been brought to your attention in this regard?"
"No, sir."
It's funny, is this woman acting, or does she really not care about these things?
"Get rid of that maid and bring Lsabella's specifications back up to normal."
"What about Charlotte-san's side? Do we need to bring it up a bit?"
"No," I thought again of Lsabella's face dipped in blood in the moonlight, and that stubborn look in her eyes... it was funny.
"Let Charlotte have something to do, that way she won't use her crooked mind on Olivia."
