The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0708

My wolf instantly pounces on the small part of me that wonders if that makes me a monster, snarling her fury at the thought. And she is right-

The Atalaxians, they started this war twenty years ago, they began their attack just when my father took his throne because they knew we were already weak. And it's unlikely that they expected us to stand for more than twenty years, but they continue their pursuit because they want us.

They want Moon Valley's rich resources and our beautiful land, of course, but they also want our people. They want to bend us to their will and their ways, to enslave our women to their ridiculous concepts of femininity, to use everything that makes us a rich and vibrant nation to feed their empowered class, their royal family.

They have already taken so much from us. They've hurt my friend.

And now they're trying to take me.

Because I'm not a fool - I know who these helicopters are after. Gibson - he knew, somehow, what I could do. And these helicopters are attacking this part of the line because they know, again, somehow, precisely where I'm standing. So let them come.

And I'll show them the consequences of trying to hurt me and the ones I love.

I will take them all down one by one if I have to burn myself out to do it.
