Chapter 9 Bellas father , Beta Craig Turner , suddenly let go of her hand , and both of them turned their heads to see Alpha Carl Trevor standing behind them , seemingly appearing out of thin air Alpha Carl seemed surprised to see Beta Craig and exclaimed , Beta Turner ? Beta Craig awkwardly laughed and replied , Alpha Trevor Instantly , Alpha Carl forced a smile and questioned , Why was the Beta holding my assistants hand ? Are you harassing her ? Beta Craig looked bewildered , glancing between Alpha Carl and Bella Bella , are you woforg for Alpha Trevor ? he asked . Bella couldnt help but think , Assistant ? Is that how Alpha Carl sees me ? Without showing any respect towards Beta Craig , Alpha Carl pulled Bella towards him and remarked , Beta Craig , my assistant could potentially become your daughter . Besides , shes not exceptionally attractive . Please make the right choice and avoid getting involved in scandals . It dawned on Bella that Alpha Carl Trevor had misunderstood her relationship with Beta Craig . Seeing Alpha Carls protective gaze , Beta Craig didnt seem angry at all ; instead , he laughed . Alpha Carl was not only incredibly handsome but also the Alpha of the Trevor Pack . Bella was sure that her father was hoping that she might date Alpha Trevor , thats why he didnt mention their relationship . He looked at Alpha Carl with a meaningful smile and said , Alpha Trevor , I must leave now as there are matters to attend to . Lets arrange to meet again next time ! Alpha Carls expression darkened as Beta Craig departed . He let go of Bellas hand in disgust and scolded , Are you a fool ? Do you think its appropriate for people to see you being held by an older man in public ? No , Alpha Trevor ! Bella responded . No ? You know that too , dont you ? Bella , have you lost your mind when it comes to men ? Are you so desperate that you dont care ? To the point of hooking up with older men ? Alpha Carls words were filled with venom . Bella smiled bitterly and replied , Alpha Trevor , its not what you think . It better not be what I think . As my assistant , you have to maintain a good reputation and keep yourself clean . Otherwise , Ill fire you ! Alpha Trevor warned Bella . I understand . There wont be a next time ! Bella responded firmly . Alpha Carl Trevor seemed much more satisfied when he saw how submissive Bella was . You dont have to attend the pack gathering tonight . Go back and rest early . I have something for you to do tomorrow . By the way , make an appointment with Alice . Yes , Alpha Carl ! Bella replied . It was unexpectedly good news for her that Alpha Carl showed such compassion and allowed her to rest . She assisted Alpha Carl in making an appointment with Alice before returning home . Since her uncle had been weak and sickly , Bella decided to stop by the market on her way home . She bought some fresh meat and vegetables , planning to prepare something nourishing for her uncle . 1/2 Chapter 9 As she walked out of the market , her hands full of groceries , she crossed the road and suddenly , a car came speeding out of nowhere . Before she could react , she was knocked to the ground . The pain shot through her palms and legs as they scraped against the rough surface . She tried to stand up , but the pain was unbearable . Suddenly , the car door opened , and the driver stepped out . Are you alright ? he asked , concern evident in his voice . I cant … she managed to say , her voice trailing off . The driver looked at her in surprise . Maam ! What maam ? Alpha Xavier has long abandoned this woman . What do you think youre doing ? a rude and arrogant voice interrupted . Elinor , sitting in the back seat of the car , strode over with a haughty expression on her face . She showed no sympathy as she sneered at Bella . Bella , did you do this on purpose ? Did you fail to win over Alpha Xavier , and now youre trying to get his attention in this pathetic way ? Your tactics are too low level . Bella seethed with anger . Elinor , youre quite skilled at talking nonsense , arent you ? Talking nonsense ? Didnt you use these kinds of tactics to seduce Alpha Xavier in the beginning ? Now that youve heard hes going to be engaged to Samantha , you cant stand it anymore , can you ? Are you planning to do something again ? Elinors disdainful gaze bore into Bella . Bella had endured that look from Elinor countless times during her three years of marriage to Alpha Xavier . Back then , she was her daughter in law , and she couldnt talk back to her . But now , after their divorce , they were nothing more than strangers . There was no reason for Bella to tolerate Elinors unreasonable behavior . Yes , she was the Alphas mother , but Bella wasnt an Omega either ! She had royal bloodline , and she was capable of going into battle against the Alpha King himself for the crown ! She was skilled , and her wolf wasnt weak . She had to hide the true her because they were not living among their kind , but they were living peacefully with humans . But they had their own lands , training spots , and warriors .
