Chapter 148: Chapter 148

.

I stood as Serena suffered the pangs of the other women. She was doing quite well even if she was a little overworked. It made me realize that if I hadn't done that, I would be in deep trouble now. Although I'm confident in my strength and abilities, I'm not sure I would have been able to manage four lycans who grew up and mastered their power so easily.

So it was better to have them attack Serena. I don't think they can beat her, from what I've heard from Greg and others, Serena is very strong.

It would be a pain in the ass to have to rub shoulders with her in addition to the others. I hope these girls will at least manage to tire her out for a while. I wouldn't want to have to fight this bitch in full power.

I sighed when one of the three women fell on the ground before gasping in surprise when I found out it was one of the three who had hit her.

" What is…"

Serena ran her hand elegantly through her hair making me curse her for being so beautiful and graceful before I realized she was actually behind it. The two women beside her had become her minions and she stood there in the middle like a real queen bee bitch.

Well, I didn't think that would happen now. But I should have known that if cornered, she would use her unique Succubus ability. I don't know how it works but from the little that I know of Elsa, she can make men and women fall in love with her and reap all the benefits that follow because the unfortunate charmed are ready to do anything to please her.

It's annoying.

I didn't even see what she did. Did she kiss them, or I don't know. Anyway, what's done is done. I now have to manage three people and it was not planned. No, but, these women are useless. They could have at least ensured that I only ended up with Serena or at most, two adversaries.

But it is going to be hot.

I looked at Greg and he nodded his trust in me. I don't know yet if I can do it because it drains me a lot of energy but when I have to go.

I looked up at them before huffing and talking to my wolf.

**Cici are you ready?**

My wolf smiled.

**Yes Sophia**

Through training, I got to know my wolf and I now know that even though he lives within me and we share the same soul, we are also separate entities. With different characters and names. His name is Cici and he is a water-type wolf. There are four types of the wolf: water, earth, air, and fire. My wolf is water-type, a rarity among alphas because they're usually earth- or fire-types, much like Elsa, Rayan, and Greg. Betas are air type and omegas are water type. Guess I couldn't escape the water-type since I was the Luna of a fire-type Alpha. But well, water and fire should be enemies but Elsa explained to me that this is the reason why omegas can calm the ardor of their mates.

I don't get it all but Cici is great with its abilities so that's not a problem.

I took a deep breath before materializing Cici in front of the amazed faces of many. To pretend that materialization is my unique ability is already unbelievable because it's a rare fact but given that my real unique ability is time manipulation, I'm sure it will surprise them even more.

" Cici, take care of the two women around the bitch."

Cici smiled because that's what he calls Serena and Serena scowled at the insult.

" Take care of this wolf who should not be out of his cage."

Serena ordered and the two women warned against Cici. As they went to fight, Serena walked towards me, smiling.

" Very bad move to materialize your wolf and make him go away from you. By the time my minions take care of him, I will have already cut you into pieces."

I smiled, putting my hand in front of my face in a scandalized way.

" What a lack of grace to speak thus lady Serena. Looks like a barbarian."

Serena gritted her teeth before raising her hand. I imagine that she also wants to bewitch me.

"Well, Sophia, love me madly."

I saw reddish fibers come out of her fingers and run towards me as I imagined that was how she could bewitch her prey. It only takes one of those red whips to touch me for me to become a slave to that bitch.

I jumped up, dodging a wire as Serena scowled.

" How?"

She asked dazedly and I wondered why such a stupid question. This is where something ticked into my mind.

If others saw those damn fibers, why were those idiots bewitched?

** Sophia, your pheromones are more powerful than those of this woman. Moreover, you are half alfe, your perceptual senses are more developed than those of others, the reason why you can see these sons**

Cici spoke when I now understood what Greg had meant when he said that this woman couldn't charm him. He can see exactly those wires. I looked at Greg and he nodded.

He didn't want to talk to me about it otherwise it would be cheating I imagine.

I looked at Serena who kept throwing filthy threads at me and finally, having had enough of it all, I used my unique ability to stop her and attacked.

My unique ability does not allow me to time travel as one would imagine from its time manipulation name.

No, it allows me to put a break of less than a minute in time which allows me to surprise my opponents. So I can't go into the past or the future.

I used my unique ability combined with my pheromones to smash Serena's threads and when I restarted the clock no one noticed since it must have passed like a blink of an eye. Only Serena was disturbed because all her fibers were destroyed and she didn't know what could have happened.

" What is…"

She spoke in disbelief as I smiled.

" I'm more powerful than you, that's all. Your skinny fibers will never do anything to me."

Serena gasped in surprise before hearing two loud thuds behind her. Turning, she found Cici who had already finished with her minions and was advancing towards us.

" We are two against you and you already know that your unique ability, which is your only weapon, does not work on me, so you should abandon my poor old woman."

Serena gritted her teeth, looking up at her grandfather, she found a look filled with disgust and averted his gaze. She then puts it on their Alpha, seeming to beg him to recognize her but Greg is ruthless.

" I... I can't... I was raised to be Luna, I must be the Luna of Soul Moon, it's my destiny."

" You are touched by, my poor, this degree of alienation is not possible."

I spoke nonchalantly as Serena got up to come and punch me but Cici stood at attention.

" You can't understand you, who have the master's love... I've loved him since our childhood and…"

" I don't want to know your life. Admit your defeat and let's not talk about it anymore. It pisses me off from the start to be on this tatami so cut it short."

I spoke coldly, not wanting to listen to this woman's moods. I don't care about her life, mine isn't easy enough already so she's screwing herself somewhere else.

I was now angry when Greg's voice echoed throughout the assembly announcing that I, Sophia Carpenter had won this tournament hands down and that my position as Luna should no longer be contested otherwise he would severely punish the offenders. In other words, He would kill them.

I smiled making Cici turn inside me as I was starting to get tired, then I walked over to Greg but before I could take another step an old man grabbed my arms putting a dagger to my throat.

" Third sage…"

People screamed as Serena ran towards him in tears.

"Venerable grandfather, I lost loyally. Stop that otherwise the Alpha will kill you."

So he's Serena's grandfather. Does he disagree with the outcome of the competition? How badly did he want his granddaughter to win?

The man shoved Serena to the ground hard before speaking.

" It's not about you anymore, useless girl. If at least you had won, but whatever. Things are going to change, and this kid is going to help us. The master wants her alive so I'll have to leave you."

" You are a traitor, aren't you? You work for the Shield of Rain."

People gasped in horror as I began to understand.

" I see that you are very well informed. Indeed, I am not alone."

Many other people revealed themselves as the man holding me back spoke.

" Now, things will go back to their place."

I blinked just to find myself on top of the stand Greg reached out to catch me but it was too late.

" Sophie…"

" Trent…"

The man disappeared with me under Greg's helpless gaze.
