14. Brunch
“Is it good or bad?” Savvy furrowed her eyebrows. She did her best, and she knew it, but it wasn’t like they were in a friendly country. Besides, Elene had plans of her own for the contest. which was evident to everyone present.
“Just take a look at it yourself.” Zara handed her a laptop and placed a cup of coffee on the bedside table. She never wasted time, an aspect Savannah especially valued in her. She was always punctual and neat, even though her sense of fashion was on the edgier side and could easily suggest otherwise. Her usual put-together and neat appearance were out of replacement, and Savannah was surprised to see a huge distinct stain on her white dress.
“What’s this?” she asked without hesitation. “Nothing.” Zara shook her short dark hair. “Just a clumsy accident at breakfast.” “Are you sure it was an accident?” The princess arched her brow.
“Yeah. Sure. I’ll change when we are done here. It’s nothing for you to concern yourself with.” Zara shrugged her shoulders. She was projecting confidence, so Savvy was about to let it go when Kyle snorted.
“Accident my as*.” He glanced at her from the chair he was sitting in with his own laptop on his knees. “That bird shifter contestant did it. And the whole room heard what she said to Zee.”
“Oh, really? What did she say?” Savvy chirped and took a sip of her coffee, flapping her eyelashes innocently. She wasn’t fooling anyone, though, as her eyes glowed golden with Athena’s anger as her desire rose to rip off the head of her friend’s tormenter.
“Nothing,” Zara pronounced the words cautiously and shot a death stare at Kyle.
“She said it made sense that Zee joined a lycan pack since she was now a stray and her flock didn’t want her and then suggested a stain on her dress would make her look the part.” Kyle ignored Zara’s warning because he knew too well that none of them would tolerate the bullying of their team members.
“How lovely!” Savvy put the cup down with a clatter. “And what did you do when you saw it,
K?”
“I wanted to bathe that b*tch in coffee,” he sneered at her but then heard Zara clearing her throat. “But Zee stopped me, and we just walked away. It was …nice.”
“The hell …Savvy protested in disbelief.
“Because everything we do will be reflected on you, Savannah.” The assistant said firmly. “And no one here will be doing you favours and looking away. We are here to help you and not create problems, remember?” She glared at Kyle, and he groaned, getting back to whatever it was that he was doing on his laptop.
“I’ll deal with it myself then,” Savvy promised him via their mind link, and he secretly smirked at her, knowing that she would take care of Mavis discreetly.
“Let’s get back to that news release.” Zara had lost her patience and sat on the bed next to
her, clicking on the trackpad.
A northern channel’s logo appeared with a beautiful scenic mountain view as a background, and then she saw the hosts, the famous brother and sister, Chloe and Claude Larsen. She read a few articles about them in the past, and, of course, they were imprinted in her memory forever. They won all kinds of prizes for their tv and online programs and were one of those people who were shaping the minds of their kingdom. People loved them, and, more importantly, people believed them.
“And now to the part we have all been waiting for!” Chloe stretched her smile to the maximum, showing off her pearly whites. She was in her late forties but didn’t look a day older than twenty-five.
“The Luna Trials are really happening!” Claude picked up where his sibling left off. “Moreover, King Kai has already met the contenders, and the first elimination took place.
“Shame we didn’t get to find out who failed the simplest test!” Chloe looked straight into the cameras. “But of course, we have saved the best highlights to show you. And, trust me, you want to watch them all!”
One by one, they started to introduce each contender. Praising some of them, like Inga and Celina. They mention some briefly, like the witch and the werecats until finally, condemning all the others.
“I don’t know what this werebear was thinking!” Chloe shook her head with a disappointed impression on her face. That was far from what she really felt, judging by the glint in her eyes.
