Third person’s point of view.
(LEGENDS CREATION COLLEGE, BEVERLY HILLS)
Ingrid and her minions stood at a corner, she balled her fist as she glared daggers at Arabella who was laughing to something Daphne had whispered in her ear.
“Ingrid, don’t tell we’re gonna let them go like that” Mitch said, her legs itching to storm towards Arabella and fight with her.
“And why were you being so polite to her just now? Don’t you hate her anymore?” Another of Ingrid’s minions asked with a frown.
Ingrid narrowed her eyes and tightened her fist, her body shook as anger and hatred pumped through her veins.
“Of course, I hate her to the core, you don’t wanna know how much I suffered in that hell forsaken place because of her!” she growled out lowly.
She turned her gaze away from Arabella, she took a deep breath and smiled tightly.
“But she’s the king’s mate which means, I can’t get my revenge publicly” she exhaled roughly. “I’ll take actions in the dark” she said.
Mitch and the others smirked wickedly at Ingrid’s words, they glared at Arabella once more but she’s already gone out of their sights.
Mitch scoffed and turned back to Ingrid.
“What’s the plan now? Do you need our help?” she asked.
“No” Ingrid shook her head. “There’s no plan yet because I’ll take my time to plan this revenge, I’ll make her regret ever making herself my enemy!”
She shoved her textbooks in Mitch’s hands, then headed towards the back of their classroom.
“Wait, where are you going?” Mitch asked.
“To clear my mind” she answered.
“But there woods behind our classroom and you’re not a wolf, are you gonna be ok?”
“You worry too much, just take my books and go home” with that she jogged off before anyone could try to stop her again.
“Is.. is she gonna be ok?” One of her minions asked rhetorically, but Mitch answered anyway.
“Yeah, let’s head home”

(KING’S PALACE) (Meeting hall).
“I heard you have something very important to discuss with me?” Wymond asked, looking around the elders.
“Yes, your Majesty” elder Marshall answered.
He adjusted himself on the chair, moved his body forward slightly and cleared his throat, he looked at the others and they nodded at him before he continued.
“It’s about the queen’s coronation, your Majesty, we don’t know if the seer has given us time” he chuckled lightly.
Wymond simply raised his brows at him to continue.
“We wanna know so that we can start preparations” he said.
There’s a short moment of silence after elder Marshall spoke, everyone’s waiting for Wymond’s reply.
“Is my queen’s coronation that important at the moment?” he asked.
“No, no, your Majesty” the oldest elder answered. “It’s just that we had an agreement to catch the person behind those dead bodies found in the wizardry forest, the earlier we hold the coronation, the earliest we put that issue to bed” he explained.
Wymond glanced at his wristwatch and cursed mentally, he realized he’s running late for pick up his mate from school.
“My queen’s coronation will be held on the next full moon” he announced.
“Next full moon? Isn’t that next month?” An elder asked as he looked at the others.
“Yes” they started talking among themselves.
Not wanting to waste anymore time, Wymond got up and left the hall through the door behind his chair, though he nodded at Edward to dismiss the elders.
“This meeting is adjourned” Edward said, then quickly rushed after his King.
He checked his phone and saw a few missed calls from Arabella, he gasped loudly.
“Your Majesty, her highness gave me several missed calls, are we still going to pick her up?”
“No” Wymond answered, which made Edward frown.
“But she….”
“Quick, let’s go to her pack”
“Yes, your Majesty” Edward replied.

Arabella’s point of view.
Daphne stopped walking and sat on a bench at the bus stop, she groaned dramatically loud for the umpteenth time.
I frowned and threw her a nasty glare.
“Will you stop groaning for crying out loud?!” I snapped at her. “You’re making it sound as if I’m forcing you to do something”
I looked at the road expectantly for a bus or cab, but unfortunately there’s currently none in sight.
“I can’t help it, we’ve been trekking for hours” she wiped off imaginary sweats off her forehead.
I scoffed.
“Hours?” she nodded. “From our school to this place is just five minutes, dolphin”
She cleared her throat and looked away from me.
“Well, it felt like hours” she said, she snatched my bottle water and took a few gulps.
“Drama queen” I murmured.
I sat on the space next to her and reached for my phone to check if Edward has replied my text, but unfortunately there wasn’t any reply from him.
“I’m starving, Ara” Daphne cried pretentiously, but it’s true that she’s hungry.
“I don’t think the bus is coming any time soon” I said. “How about we race home?” I suggested.
Daphne shook her head as she leaned back on the big billboard behind us, she grumpily folded her arms on her chest.
“I don’t have any strength in me, Ara, and besides, our pack is pretty far from here -I might die halfway” she said.
She’s right, our pack is a little bit too far from our school, this was one of the main reasons I took the wizardry forest last time.
As if the moon goddess heard our prayers, a taxi stopped in front of us and horned at us -I rushed towards him.
“Evergreen pack, sir?” I told the driver politely.
“Alright, hop on” he said.
I turned to Daphne and waved her over.
“Come on”
“I’m tired” she groaned but lazily got up and dragged her fit towards us.
“You’re so lazy sometimes” I told her.
