The Moon Goddess' Chosen-Chapter 464 - 464 Lina’s Trust

464 Lina’s Trust

The nurses came in quickly and began to monitor his vitals, “Hey, sir, relax. You’re safe here,” one of them went in a surprisingly soothing voice. It was the same nurse from before…

If it hadn’t been for the fact that they’d seen her attitude towards Victor earlier, the Seeker would have been fooled.

‘She’s a pro,’ Madeline was amused, watching her work. This skill was similar to the smile a professional waiter was supposed to wear. While she was impressed, this didn’t change her growing detest for the nurse’s true opinion of the former delta. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

The storm of attendants worked to make sure Victor didn’t go into shock. Part of the motivation to save this man was fear of the prince’s rage if he died. Drake had spent a lot of energy and risked his life for this rogue.

If anything, there must have been a reason why he’d done that… So they worked… and worked…

And worked…

While the girls didn’t know what they were doing, they could only stand back and let the experts do their jobs.

After what felt like an eternity with Madeline worrying about the man that was being attended to in the emergency room, he was announced stable. The nurses and doctors looked exhausted but all signs of worry were gone.

Madeline unconsciously took a step towards him but the nurse from before held her back, “I’m sorry… but your group is to keep away from him. He reacted to you. So, I’m guessing you know him. Until he’s in a condition to receive visitors of your level of influence, I will ask that you stay out.

.....

Wolves are more active than humans in their unconscious states. Something as simple as your scent or touch can trigger reactions we are not ready to deal with.”

“So, we can’t see him, simply because he reacts to us,” Lina spoke up. The woman, who’d been paying more attention to Madeline, flinched at the royal’s tone.

“Umm, yes, your Highness. He’s not in the best condition as you can see… If he tries to wake up or tries to move, he might make his condition worse. I ask that you stay away from this room for now. With some luck, his healing abilities will kick in and he will get better at a faster pace than this,” the nurse explained in a more respective voice.

Lina frowned, shifting her attention to Madeline.

In this situation, she was the one to consult. The Seeker looked back at the sleeping werewolf and sighed, “It’s alright, Lina. I’ll come another time.”

The royal pulled her friend into a hug, “He’ll get better… You might have to see one of the royals or at least a beta alpha pommel him for answers, but he’ll be fine…”

The girl flinched but Lina wouldn’t let go of her, “Does he have to…”

“People died, Madeline. He’s lucky,” Lina sighed, finally freeing her from the tight hug.

Madeline took in a deep breath, sparing the sleeping werewolf one more glance before stepping out of the emergency room.

Some things were simply out of her power… there wasn’t much she could do for the former delta.

..........

Bree finally led them to their rooms, Lina having been the only one who hadn’t visited them yet.

On their way there, however, they had to pry the girl from the various displays, supermarkets and different establishments that had opened up for business.

The number of people that were in the Great Arena had grown exponentially and at some point during their movement, they would have to stop to let a large crowd of people pass.

Hunters, humans, werewolves from different packs, rich families, famous businessmen and women of influential status. The girls were astounded by the numerous people that had come to watch the games.

And it only got worse when these people recognised Lina. News of her winning the Trials had already spread like a wildfire and she was quickly becoming the talk of the masses.

‘But if she went against her brother for who gets to play in the games, what is her brother going to do… and who is she going to play the games with? It’s not like she had beta alphas…’ they had heard someone say.

Werewolves of the Sirius empire, regardless of their pack of origin, were more bound to discover the princess in the great masses of the Gargantuan arena. This was simply because they bore a closer bond to the Sirius family’s mind link.

Feeling the presence of the royal they served under was almost instinct for those that knew what it felt like.

Because of this, the girls had to block off the mind link and hold hands to keep themselves from getting separated. Getting through the Great Arena and back to their room was hard but not impossible.

An hour later, Crysta dropped onto a sofa in the living room that formed an intersection of the six rooms they were to rest in.

“Crysta, you haven’t…”

“I’m tired, Lina. A few minutes please…” the delta groaned.

“I was going to tell you to take off your shoes but never mind,” Lina walked up to the delta’s feet and pulled the shoes off her feet herself.

Madeline paled at the sight, “Umm, is that even…”

“Don’t bother, Mady. The rules don’t apply to those two,” Bree stopped the girl before she could point out how inappropriate the scene before her looked.

However, what happened next had her laughing. Crysta grabbed Lina, who had sat on her legs to take off the shoes with her back turned to delta and pulled her back into the chair. The two girls tumbled off the sofa and started…

wrestling…

Madeline burst out laughing, taking clear note of the mess they were making…

But they didn’t care.

Whether Lina was a royal or Crysta a delta, it didn’t matter.

“Ugh, Crysta, stop being impossible,” Lina yelled from under the trained delta.

“Oh? Where are those skills you’ve been training all this time?” The delta cackled.

“I can’t attack you. I need you for the games,” Lina laughed. The princess was pinned but didn’t look one bit worried… or even defeated.

Crysta, however, had gone quiet. When Lina noticed, she tapped her friend’s hand as a sign of surrender. The delta let her friend free and let her sit up, “Are you sure you want me to help you in the games?”

Lina tilted her head in confusion, “You and Bree, of course… did I miss something?”

Crysta sighed, “You’re going against Cole and his beta alphas. I think you should pick more qualified…”

Lina chuckled, “Oh no, I’m not picking anyone else. Honour and Madeline are weirdly weaker than the average werewolf. That leaves you and Bree. It wouldn’t feel right to stand with anyone else in that Arena.”

Crysta was not convinced. The events of the Trials were still fresh in her memory. She had held Lina back more than she could have possibly imagined. And even after reaching the Great Arena upon the princess’s back, she was sure Lina had not utilised her powers fully.

Lina had carried Wyatt and her, along with all their bags at the same time, “But during the Trials, we held you back.”

“Huh, no you didn’t. I didn’t know how far the Arena was. I don’t think I could have gotten there if I’d run at full speed from the start…

Not to mention, I have a terrible sense of direction. The path to the Great Arena was straight once we’d reached the mountains. Crysta, you helped me win the Trials, not the other way round.”

“We only got here moments before the prince himself… and he was injured as well. We were far behind him. If we’d continued at that pace, we would have reached here after…”

“Hey, Crysta…” Lina cut her off, “We won, okay? And each and every one of us did something. Even Wyatt hunted that last meal that I needed to get here.”

“You couldn’t have digested that in a short time…” Crysta chuckled, but her chuckles died down and were replaced by a shocked expression when she remembered who she was talking to, “Could you?”

“Probably…” the princess shrugged, “Who knows? In any case, we won the Trials. It’s not right to say we can’t win the royal games when we haven’t even tried yet.”

“You’re way too optimistic,” Bree sighed, shivers running through her body.

“Not optimistic… Listen to me, you two. We haven’t come here for war,” the princess chuckled, “We’ve come here to have fun… and also to see if we really can kick some alphas. I was there when Drake faced Cole four years ago. That man is a monster but you don’t see me shivering.”

“Perhaps you hit your head,” Bree suggested, her face beaming in glee.

“I am fine,” Lina huffed.

Crysta pulled the girl’s head down and started the inspection, “It wouldn’t hurt to check.”

“What…”

“Check for any bumps, Crysta. She’s totally lost her mind,” Bree approached them. Surprisingly, the two girls restrained the princess.

“No, you two… I’m positive I am…” the princess burst into laughter when the two girls started tickling her instead.

Through the mind link, her voice boomed with laughter, “You’re both evil…”

Madeline grabbed a cushion and sat on the floor watching the three girls with a smile, ‘They totally forgot I’m in the room, didn’t they?’

Crysta and Bree soon stopped tickling the princess and allowed her laughing fit to finally tie down. Tears had been shed, energy had been spent… the princess was in no shape to get up, “You will help me win this though?” Lina asked turning her head to the delta, “I can’t think of anyone else I’d trust with something like this. Not to mention have fun doing with.”

The delta wiped a tear off the princess’s face, “You don’t have to ask us twice. We’d kill the Rogue king if that was your wish,” the delta replied.

Forcing herself up, Lina pulled Crysta into a hug, “Thank you,” the sudden show of affection caught Crysta off-guard.

The delta then hugged her friend in return.

“Don’t mention it,” she smiled warmly.

Two other pairs of hands wrapped around the two girls, “Don’t leave us out of this,” Madeline giggled.
