Just then, I remembered the elevator.
I decided to go there and have a look. But just as I turned around, my heart leaped to my throat. I saw Nicole’s face that was inches away from mine.
“Why… what…” My heart was still crashing in my chest. My words jumbled together as my mouth went dry. “When did you come without making a sound?”
Nicole looked at me calmly. She was holding a bamboo basket that was filled with rose petals.
“Are you looking for something?” Nicole asked.
“No. Nothing. I’m just walking around to help digest the food,” I answered, smiling wryly.
Fortunately, Nicole bought it. She didn’t ask any more questions. “I brought these for you to take a bath.” She handed the basket to me with a smile.
“Thank you.” I took the basket and returned to my room.
I was not in the mood to take a bath. I sat on the edge of the bed, thinking of a way to go out.
I didn’t believe they had invited me to stay with them for three days just as their guest. They were probably using me as a hostage to threaten Rufus. I didn’t want Rufus to get into trouble because of me.
Therefore, I decided to look for a way to escape.
As I racked my brain to figure out a solution, my head grew heavy. I felt sleepy.
That was when it dawned on me.
‘Damn it!’ I was too careless.
They had put sleeping pills in the bread.
I slapped my face and pinched myself to sober up. But it was too late. Nothing seemed to work.
Flora’s POV
One day passed, and my confidence was completely destroyed. I was drained and exhausted. Few werewolves agreed to participate in the online public opinion survey. However, for those who did participate, their opinions were all the same: they were all against our proposal.
Warren and I sat by the side of the street, lost in thought.
“It’s nothing like I imagined.” I was a little depressed. The data on my laptop broke my heart. “It would have felt better if the votes were an even split at least.”
Warren also looked at the screen, his brows furrowed in concentration. “We underestimated the whole thing. I’m afraid this issue is more complicated than we had imagined.”
“Damn it!” I angrily shut the laptop and stood up. “We can’t give up. Let’s go from door to door.”
“Okay.”
I grabbed Warren’s arm and took him to the werewolves. We went door to door and tried convincing them.
However, the outcome only seemed to get worse.
The werewolves were enraged when I told them we were going to push over the wall. They all unanimously refused.
Everyone cursed us, and a middle-aged she-wolf even picked up the broom to beat us.
Warren and I ran away. However, before we could escape, a group of werewolves had surrounded us.
“It’s them! How dare they ask us to side with them about pushing over the wall? I heard they are from the imperial capital. These people think they are superior to us. They waltz their way here and command us without knowing the situation,” a man shouted that seemed to add fuel to the fire.
The she-wolf with the broom glared at us. “If it weren’t for our Alpha’s wise leadership, the vampires would have invaded a long time ago. Now, you want to overturn our Alpha’s policy? Not even in your dreams!”
“Listen to me. Pushing over the wall is good for everyone,” I tried explaining, but these werewolves weren’t willing to listen to me.
My words only seemed to agitate them.
“What’s so good about that? You better kill us right now instead of making us live with the bastards outside the wall!”
“Exactly! If you are really that capable, go and kill all the vampires instead of meddling with our business.”
“The wall remains where it is. We can’t push it over. If you want to do it, then you will have to do it over our dead bodies.”
These seemingly enthusiastic, kind-hearted people now all became cruel and heartless. Their undisguised hatred and bitterness for the werewolves outside the wall infuriated me.
“But the werewolves outside the wall are from the same pack as you. You shouldn’t abandon them,” I shouted. But my words dissolved in their screams of protests.
“What do you outsiders know?”
They all grew agitated and began fighting with us.
Warren held me in his arms to protect me from their vicious attacks.
I bit my lip and grasped his clothes tightly. My heart grew heavy.
Just then, one of them threw an egg on Warren’s forehead. I completely lost my cool; my blood began to boil in my veins.
“I’m fine.” Warren calmly wiped his forehead and grabbed my hand to stop me from attacking the werewolves. But I couldn’t take it anymore.
“You ungrateful bastards! If it weren’t for the werewolves outside the wall, do you think you’d have been able to live a peaceful life? Look at you all! You’re all rotten and selfish.” My body began trembling with rage. The egg on Warren’s forehead spiked up the anger simmering in my heart. Since they were unwilling to push over the wall, I didn’t bother being polite.
I rolled up my sleeves to fight these werewolves. I would never let them bully me.
But fortunately, Warren stopped me. Otherwise, the problem would have become more complicated.
In the end, we retreated as Rufus’ private guards shielded us from the angry werewolves.
At first, I thought we wouldn’t need so many soldiers. But now, I understood Rufus had already anticipated the situation. That was perhaps why he had left an army of soldiers to protect us.
