Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Selene I wasn't the kind of person who felt joy just because others praised me. Their words, their claps, their smiles, none of it mattered. I wasn't happy because I won; I already knew I would. It was never about proving my skill, it was about showing every single one of them who had laughed at me, pitied me, or ignored me. The only reason a smile curved my lips was because it felt good to watch the same people who once looked at me like I was dirt, now stare at me like I was something divine.

Their eyes wide, their mouths slightly parted, as if even though they'd seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. They couldn't believe I had done it. I played the harp perfectly, and effortlessly. I didn't even use much of my spiritual energy, I was saving that for tonight. This was only the beginning. The shock and awe on their faces, I had a feeling I'd be seeing it a lot more often from now on. "What do you want, child?" the Alpha repeated, his voice deep. Every gaze turned toward me again.

I could feel the weight of the courtyard pressing down on my shoulders. The Alpha still sat there, smiling, clearly amused and impressed. Adrian's eyes, on the other hand, were fixed on me in that unreadable way of his. I could tell he was trying to figure me out, like I was a riddle he couldn't quite solve. My father's eyes had darkened; he looked at me like I was some kind of threat instead of his daughter. My stepmother's lips were twisted in that sour expression she wore so well. My brothers just stared, still too stunned to even blink. They were all waiting to see what I'd say.

"What do you think she'll ask?" I heard someone whisper close by. "Isn't it obvious? She's going to ask to marry Prince Adrian." "Really? Even though he might be Sienna's mate?" "She'll do it. She's always been that kind of girl. But the Alpha won't allow it. Maybe he'll make her Adrian's mistress instead." Their laughter was quiet, and cruel, like small knives being thrown in my direction. I didn't bother reacting. I turned my gaze slowly, meeting Sienna's eyes across the stage. She wasn't even trying to hide it anymore, the hatred burning there was venomous. She wanted to kill me.

I could see it clearly now. And that only made my smile widen. I turned back to the Alpha and lowered my head respectfully. "Thank you so much for your generosity, Alpha," I said, my tone calm. "But may I ask for what I want after the ceremony begins?" The Alpha's eyes narrowed slightly, curious, but he didn't respond immediately. Someone from the crowd spoke up, "What did I tell you?" the voice rang out. "She's waiting for the ceremony to start so she can ask the Alpha to make her Prince Adrian's bride, once Sienna becomes his mate!" I snorted quietly at the remark that came from the crowd.

Prince Adrian's bride? Please. Before I could even open my mouth, my stepmother rushed to play her favorite role. She bowed her head deeply toward 12:49 ve, Dec Chapter 44 the Alpha ber some trembling with coorem "Alpha" she said. "I beg of you please do not listen to her.

She didn't even wait for me to speak before jumping to conclusion. And as expected. Stenna followed bey She lowered her head gracefully, her voice soft and desperate.

"Yes, Alpha Please don't liten to my sister. I can't let my mate go to anyone dise" It took everything in me not to laugh out loud. This duo were they serious? How were they so certain Sienna was even Adrian's mate? I warned to clap for their performance, truly, they were committed actor. If only they knew the truth I ignored both of them and turned to the Apha inmead waiting for his reply. He leaned back on his chain tapping his fingers on the armrest as he studied me.

And don't let anyone bully you either.

Don't forget what I taught you. I'll be back soon." "Yes, my lady." "Be careful, my lady," Evelyn said quietly. "I will." Turning away, the hem of my white dress brushed against the grass as I headed toward the darker edge of the forest. "Stop." The single word sliced through the air. I froze mid-step. I knew that voice. I rolled my eyes with irritation.
