Chapter 94

Katy POV

my well- My pulse pounded sickeningly fast. Now I understood why Beau came to visit me last night. He wasn’t there to ask about being. He was there to keep me occupied while the witch cast a spell on Ace. Beau was keeping an eye on me. My gaze went to him and I found him looking amusedly at Ace, who was now sitting on a chair, looking like a caged tiger.

Corella bowed and left. King Soren announced the next task. “There will be a total of four tasks. The top five selected will be determined by the best of three rounds. The fourth contest will only have five contestants.”

You will compete with those in your house and the top two will be eligible for the next task. Your first task will be combat.” She pointed to a table on the side. “You can check the list of the houses you belong to over there. Once you know your house, proceed to the training arena in the pack house. Our warriors are going to assign you to the partners with whom you will fight. May the best win!”

“What do you want to say, Katy?” King Soren asked with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“Once a contestant wins a task, what is her motivation to carry on for the next task?” I asked.

“This competition is to marry Alpha Ace, so that’s your motivation,” King Soren said.

“No,” I shook my head. “There should be small rewards at the end of every task for the winner.”

Some girls immediately snickered.

“Such an attention grabber!”

“She thinks she’ll win?”

“What a pathetic woman!”

“How desperate!”

and continued, “At the end of this task, the winner will get to
