Chapter 49

  Jerome

I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong. Erica's mood swing was something I wasn't expecting. What was going on was totally strange to me. I felt the need to know what was wrong but I didn't have the chance because she had walked toward the pack's square. I knew that it would be hard for me to know what was really going on but with my guess and her behavior she seems to be jealous. I knew that she might have been jealous of Mabel being with me and all sorts but I couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

I couldn't help but wonder why she walked up to me suddenly jealous. I knew she had every right to be jealous but not to the fact that she would yell at me. She seems to have different mood swings. I knew that she might have thought that I'm going to get together with Mabel. What she doesn't know is that there is no way for me to go back to Mabel.

I knew that all I could do right now was to wait for the duel to be over. I knew that was what she wanted to call me for and she would have told me if not that she was angry with me. She was angry that I was with Mabel. I couldn't help but wonder what her reactions would be if I told her that Mabel is my friend. I knew that it would be hard for her to believe me, and she might even accuse me of wanting to cheat on her.

I see no reason to participate in the duel if I actually don't want to be with her but I want to. She is just trying to make things hard for me. My eyes were puffy red not knowing what to do. I made my way tiredly toward the pack's square. I knew that I was filled with lots of energy earlier but it all vanished immediately after seeing Erica angry.

I watched the match keenly not wanting to lose any details. I knew that anybody can be my opponent tomorrow and the person would have to be one of those who won today. I knew that tomorrow's match won't be as tough as that of the day after tomorrow. I watched the brutality each one of the Alpha's use and I knew that all what they were doing was a show off for me. I knew they wanted me to feel beneath them, and that's what I was feeling.

I knew that I shouldn't play their tune but he can't stop himself from doing that. My eyes were puffy red and all I could think of was nothing other than my defeat tomorrow. I couldn't help but wonder why I was planning the final duel. I know I can't win for sure but there is no way that will stop me from fighting in the duel. It hurt me to know that I might lose the match to one of the Alpha's, and there will be nothing I can do about it.

I couldn't help but wonder what I would do if that was to happen. I knew that I won't be able to bear the shame, the embarrassment that comes with me losing my mate to another man because I'm weak. I have never felt this useless in my entire life before. I felt like some used tool that was thrown away. I felt like the moon goddess was punishing Erica for making her my mate. I knew that if it was that the moon goddess had made someone as strong and as of status as her, then she wouldn't have been passing through all this.

I didn't know when the crowd started dispersing until I saw Samuel walk up to me tapping my shoulder which jolted me out of my thoughts. I stared at him for a while with a creased eyebrow. I felt like he was hiding sometimes from me. It has been a long time since I last saw him because he has been busy. I only saw Victoria and when I did I could see how busy she was.

"What's wrong?" I asked him while staring at him curiously, unable to hide the hunger for what was happening.

"I can see that you want to have some rest but sadly you can't, there is no time for that, you can see your opponents and we can't take it lightly. You need to go train" Samuel said and I sighed heavily knowing that he was right.

There is no time for us to waste and if we keep stalling time then things won't go well. I knew that if I can't train as much as I can today then it's definitely a loss for me tomorrow. I knew that I wouldn't have won today's fight if not for the help of yesterday's training. I knew that any training I'm to receive will only help me improve my skills and know how to fight against my opponent.

I knew that today would be a huge night but I knew that I had to see Erica in private. I knew that if I don't talk things out with her then I won't be able to concentrate during my training and that might cost me to lose the duel. I knew that those I'm up to aren't lower class werewolves and I might get killed or be injured by one of them and I don't want any casualties to happen in the duel.

"I will be there shortly," I said to him and he nodded his head politely before walking away.

I walked toward Erica who was fuming with anger as she sat on the chair while puffing out breaths from her mouth.

"Erica, it isn't what you are thinking" I started calmly even though my mind was in disarray. I don't want her to see that side of me and I was doing everything in my power to hide it.

"You should know by now that I don't want to share you with anybody but instead you were all over her, how dare you do that" I heard Erica voice yell angrily while staring at me.

"I can explain, Erica" I replied, sounding desperate for her attention and she turned to look at me with flames in her eyes.

"You should do better," she replied with her hands placed on her hips, staring at me dramatically. I felt my heart twitch with fear at her words. I couldn't understand why I felt scared of her, I haven't felt like this since the time we have been together or have known each other but I have not been scared of her since but now I do.

"She just told me to break off the engagement in the proper process, and she returned the ring I had put on her hands. I was only trying to help her up, I was trying to help a friend..." I was saying but I was cut short by Erica.

"A friend? When did you guys become friends?" she asked while glaring at me murderously. My teeths were clamped together not knowing what to say.

"We became friends today and she said that we can still be best of friends just like we were when we were little" I said with a curt bow.

I could feel the effects of her auras which almost forced me to my knees but I tried hard to overcome them.

"I don't have anything to say to you anymore, you should keep going with your friend," Erica muted disgustingly.

"You don't have to behave like this, Mabel isn't as bad as you have portrayed her, she is actually a nice person..." I was saying when Erica chipped in.

"She isn't as bad as you thought , so why don't you go to her," she replied. "Talking of the devil here she is," Erica adde with an angry look on her face.

My mouth dropped open and I was about to reply to her when I felt the presence of Mabel behind me. Her legs were making so much noise as she made her way toward me. I turned my head to look back and there I saw Mabel matching toward me hurried with an unknown expression plastered on her face.

"Jerome, we need to talk," I heard her say impatiently and I felt the blood in my system dry immediately. I couldn't help but wonder what to do.

I knew that things won't end well here and there is nothing I can do to escape. I knew that there is no way Erica would allow me to go with Mabel. I knew that she would be angry if I was to follow Mabel. I feel like it would be more than just this day the time I'm to choose what to do. I knew that whatever I do would influence whatever they want to do. I was placed in a tight corner, and I was literally confused on what to do.
