SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING (Elisa) novel Chapter 35

“Here,” she said “You’ll carry these to the tournament grounds. I expect you to be at my side the entire time. And don’t think for a second that you’ll get a break.”

I looked at the bags in horror. Surely, she was joking. There was no way I could carry these bags all the way there. I struggled to lift them, feeling the strain in my arms and shoulders as I adjusted their weight. Without another word, I nodded and began carrying them. Gina didn’t seem to care that I was visibly struggling. In fact, I'm sure she enjoyed it.

We left her room and made our way downstairs. Gina got inside a car waiting for her.

"Walk to the grounds" she said "I'm sure you could use the exercise"

I watched in disbelief as she got in and the car moved past me. I sighed, preparing myself for the long trip.

I started walking to the grounds. Carrying the bags, I could feel sweat trickling down my back. The heavy bags caused me to walk slowly. The sun was hot and I was already exhausted. I gritted my teeth and kept moving.

The journey felt like it would take forever. My clothes grew soaked with sweat, and the bags seemed to grow heavier with every step.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, I arrived at the tournament grounds. The grounds were filled with shouts of the pack members. In the middle of the grounds, warriors were engaged in intense fighting competitions.

In a special elevated area, members of the royal family were seated, watching the events. My parents were seated there. Gina sat next to Jackson.

I walked up to them and dropped the bags.

"Good day, mother" I said "Father"

They pretended like I didn't exist. They looked ahead, like I wasn't there. I sighed, feeling my heart break again.

I stood beuind Gina.
