Babel Novel
Chapter 103
A large, round golden mirror appeared, levitating in front of her as she sat cross-legged on the exquisite wooden chair she’d taken out of her storage ring. The mirror glowed and a man (whose face was concealed behind an intricately crafted golden mask that had sapphire stones in the middle) could be seen. His shirtless, well-built body had terrifying tattoos of a skull and a three-headed serpent.
“How’s it going, Glinda? Did you find something valuable?” the man asked in a raspy voice.
“Narfi, it’s indeed a fact. The female is a tribrid. She is participating in the triennial contest so she is a werewolf for sure. And moments ago, I saw that she made a fellow werewolf kneel and even frighten a Luna without doing much. I can’t tell what else she shifts into. But it has to be more powerful than a werewolf.” the lady revealed.
“Probably, she’s also a vampire king?” the man asked. Glinda shrugged at his question.
“Keep tabs on her. When it’s time, we’ll get her powers and become the ones feared by all races.” Narfi laughed.
“Hey, your laugh is torture to my ears,” she complained.
“(scoff) You aren’t any better. Make sure to update me each day.”
“Sure thing. So, how are we going to snatch her powers for ourselves? If this tribrid goes crazy, she’ll be hard to beat, impossible even!” Glinda voiced out her worry.
“Worry not,” said Narfi in a devil-may-care manner.
“Oh,” she raised an eyebrow. “Brother, do you have plans already?”
“Yeah. If I’m right, she’s not seasoned with her powers yet. And even if she is, we don’t need to touch her at all.”
“Really?” she asked with a doubtful face.
Narfi sighed before asking: “Remember when you said I’d win an oscar in acting?”
“(nod) Yeah, that was 10 years ago though.” Glinda took out some berries from her spatial ring and started eating them.
“That skill will be put to use and fetch us gains easily.” Narfi divulged, wearing a mischievous smile.
“Oh! So, what is it that you’re cooking?” Glinda threw another berry into her mouth.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Can’t tell you but it is something grand.”
“You can’t even give me a hint?”
“Nah. But you’ll know soon,” he answered.
“If it’s that way, fine. But it had better be a good surprise or I won’t hesitate to fight to the death with you,” she warned.
“(chuckle in amusement) Glinda, we’re miles apart.” he reminded.
“(scoff) So what? Even the strongest has a weakness.”
“Forget it. I have to go. Make sure to keep an eye on her.” the man could no longer be seen in the mirror. Now it just reflected Glinda just like a normal mirror would.
She sighed as she leisurely raised her right hand. The mirror flew into the storage ring and then she rose since she’d finished the berries in her hand anyway. She also put the chair back in the spatial ring and walked out of the restroom after changing her look and attire.
“Maiden, be sure to entertain me when the time comes,” she said with an evil smirk.
…
Lavana sat beside her mate who asked her what happened since she didn’t look so good. She then told him about the annoying Luna and her bodyguard.
“Don’t go after them. I already taught them a lesson.” she stopped him from rising from the seat.
He sighed. “Ok, I won’t. Mate, look at me.”
“Let’s just… focus on the show,” she said after taking a cookie from the carton.
“Lavana, before you left you looked uneasy. If it weren’t that it’s a female restroom, I wanted to follow you. I know it’s right to also give you space but I’m even more worried when I see you now. Tell me the truth, did you cry?”
“Cry? What makes you ask that?” she didn’t take her eyes off the event on the field.
“I felt you were in pain and very sad.” he disclosed.
“Phoenix, I’m fine now. And I don’t wish to talk about it,” she replied.
He sighed and brought her closer to him. “It’s fine. Just relax on my chest.” he urged and she did as he said.
“Phoenix, thank you,” she said as she let out a sniff.
“I’m only doing something I should.” he planted a kiss on her forehead as she closed her eyes to relax.
Those two females who troubled his mate were very lucky. But if they did come looking for trouble again, he wouldn’t mind paying their pack a visit.
“Lavie honey, know that I’m always available whenever you wish to speak about it. And my chest is always available as your pillow.” he mind linked her.
“Thanks, mate.” she managed to reply before falling asleep seconds after listening to his heartbeats. His heartbeats were the best lullaby to her.
He gently caressed her hair, blowing air unto it. If he guessed right, she wept because of his words earlier. Was she very close to the Alpha of that pack or recalling the gruesome destruction of her pack made her emotional? He internally sighed. The person she wanted to beat so badly might not appear here until the third day which is the finals for Alphaless packs.
As for Rolandro, he had decided to not hand over after completing all rounds of archery. He wanted to see how long he would last before reaching his limit.
He and two others won the 5 points of the 2nd activity and then they were allotted 10 minutes to prepare for the next.
