Miss Felicity shrugged, her expression nonchalant. “Well, sometimes things don’t go as planned do they girls,” she replied dismissively, her tone tinged with slight annoyance.
The room fell into a heavy silence as Erin and I struggled to comprehend the gravity of Miss Felicity’s words. It felt as though the ground had been ripped out from under us, leaving us suspended in void of uncertainty and despair.
“But… but we’ve been working so hard,” Erin protested, her voice choked with emotion. “We thought… we thought we would have a chance to prove ourselves.” She claims; despite knowing that Miss Felicity couldn’t actually change the fact even if she wanted to.
Kane and Seth don’t want us anymore…
Did they even bother to come back here with us after dropping us off on the jet? That explains why Anthony drove us? Are they already gone? Heading home to never think twice about either of us ever again…
Miss Felicity’s smile widened, a cruel glint in her eyes as she surveyed us with thinly veiled contempt – enjoying our pain.
“I’m afraid it’s out of my hands,” she stated coldly, her tone dripping with disdain.
“But perhaps it’s for the best. After all, not everyone is cut out for life with an Alpha.” Miss Felicity shrugs, as my blood runs cold.
Her words cut through me like a knife, each syllable driving home the harsh reality of our situation. Despite our efforts to prove ourselves, it seemed that we would always be on the outside looking in, forever condemned to a life of rejection and isolation.
As Miss Felicity turned to leave, a sense of resignation settled over me like a heavy cloak. It was clear that there was no reasoning with her, no chance of appealing her decision. We were alone, cast adrift in a sea of hostility and indifference.
But even as despair threatened to consume me, a small spark of defiance flickered to life within me. No matter what Miss Felicity or anyone else said, I refused to give up hope.
We may have been rejected this time around, but that didn’t mean our journey was over.
With Erin by my side, I knew that together, we would find a way to prove our worth and carve out a place for ourselves in this world – even if it meant defying the odds and facing whatever challenges lay ahead.
Just as Miss Felicity reached the door, she turned back to us with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with a sinister glint. “Not to worry though, girls, I almost forgot about the most exciting part!” She states with a twisted smile causing my breathing to increase with
worry.
“I think that I may have found you both a couple of new suitors already – both of them are from the same pack too! You can come with me right now and meet them both!” She concludes, as both of our eyes widen like deer caught in headlights.
What?! Already?! What about the whole judgement process… stage one, stage two, the trial? What was this setup?
My heart froze in anticipation, my mind reeling at the unexpected twist. New suitors? From a new pack? But at least we would both be going to the same place again…
What could Miss Felicity possibly have in store for us now?
Why would she pick us of all people to meet them too?
This has to be a trap… probably the most horrific males ever to exist.. that would be more probable.
Erin’s eyes widened in surprise, her expression mirroring my own shock.

Chapter 97
“New suitors? she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.
“But what about the choosing Ceremony? I thought we still had to attend even if we weren’t selected…” Erin comments, clearly hoping to have seen Seth one last time today.
Miss Felicity waved a dismissive hand, cutting off Erin’s protest before she could finish.
“Consider this a… special arrangement,” she replied cryptically, a mysterious smile playing at the corners of her lips.
“I assure you, that these suitors are quite… eager to meet you and right now.” She concludes with a wave of her wrist to instruct us both to hurry up to get organised.
This can’t be real…
I’m never going to see Kane again?
A shiver ran down my spine at Miss Felicity’s ominous words, a sense of unease settling over me like a dark cloud.
What kind of arrangement was this because it definitely didn’t sound legal?
And why did it feel like we were walking straight into a trap?
The worst part was, there was quite literally nothing we could do we have to obey for the consequences of not following the rules
would be far worse for us.
Kane and Seth might regret their decision one day, but by then it will be too late… a chance missed and gone forever…
With a nod of determination, I squared my shoulders and met Miss Felicity’s gaze head–on. “Give us f–five minutes to get ready…* I nod once, as Erin looks shocked at my words.
With that, we close the door to shut her out – and move to open our bags that had been delivered here last night.
“I can’t believe they don’t want us anymore…” Erin breathes, looking startled as she goes into overdrive and gets herself ready.
“It’s not too late! At least we are g–going to a new place together right?” I sniffle, fighting back the tears.
Let’s just hope that the next chapter holds at least some promise… a new start…
