---- Chapter 5 When she realized what she'd just said, Sylvia clasped her hand over her mouth. I stared at the results as tears welled up in my eyes. My ratings were two rankings higher than what I'd achieved in my previous life! Leo found his name on the list. He was filled with disbelief as he stared at his ranking. "How could this be? How am I only rated B?" Smiling, I watched condescendingly as they became flustered. In my previous life, I'd trained with Leo before the trials. Without my help this time, he and Sylvia were too wrapped up in their plot. It'd be weird if they'd obtained good results. Suddenly, Leo pounced at me furiously. He grabbed my wrist. "What did you do? There's definitely something wrong with the results!" ---- His eyes were bloodshot. He was no longer the composed werewolf he used to be. "Elena, do you think you can bribe the examiners just because you're the daughter of the Alpha King?" I grabbed his collar and shoved his face against a moonstone slab. "Take a good look at that! Our ratings in the trials are determined by the Moon Goddess altar! How can I possibly cheat?" He struggled violently, yet he was no match for the burning vengeance within me. I barked, "You're nothing more than a parasite living off the pack! Without the Alpha King, you'd never reach where you're at!" "Enough!" Veins bulged on the side of Leo's neck as he shoved me aside. I stumbled backward. Aidan swiftly stepped forward and stabilized me with an arm around my waist. With his other hand, he grabbed Leo by the shoulder. "Leo, we're in the Dark Hunters pack. You're in no place to throw a tantrum here." ---- Sylvia suddenly let out a piercing scream. "Leo, don't believe her! She must've-" Before she could finish, she suddenly clutched her throat as she let out a deep growl. The other werewolves stepped away from her. Someone muttered, "Why is Sylvia acting more and more like a beast?" I coldly watched as Leo and Sylvia embarrassed themselves. The thrill of revenge surged through me. "Tf you doubt the results, let's head to the altar and let the Moon Goddess verify your ratings herself." With that, I left the crowd with Aidan beside me. He came out in first place in the trials. Although I obtained a high score, I was still two rankings lower than him. He looked at me. In a gentle voice, he congratulated, " Elena, congrats. You deserve it." Smiling, I responded, "Congrats to you too, Aidan." No words were needed as we drew closer to each other. ---- The dying sun left elongated shadows behind us. The announcement of him being the champion was displayed alongside my ratings on the altar. Where there was joy, naturally, disappointment was never far behind.
