Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

148 Quarrels

Selma Payne’s POV:

“However, humans will not be grateful to us. Sometimes, they attribute everything to their god and turn a blind eye to us. More often than not, we will suffer from them returning kindness with ingratitude for no reason.

“For human beings, being not of the same race is a sin. Maybe they even think that ‘evil’ creatures like us bring all bad luck!”

These words were extreme!

I retorted, “You can’t just use partiality to conclude, can you? Not all humans are like this. They aren’t uncivilized and ignorant creatures. They still have a basic sense of gratitude, right? Besides, even if we can’t easily provoke humans, we can quietly do good, right? Do we have to watch people freeze to death in the wild?”

“Nice words.” Yuri sneered. “Who’s going to save him? You? Don’t kid yourself. If anything happens to the noble lady in our small base, our entire team won’t even be able to compensate you! In the end, aren’t you still giving orders and the unlucky ones like us who have to do the hard work?”

Frowning, Frank was just about to scold him when Aldrich grabbed his collar and said coldly, “Don’t be too impudent, kid. Other people’s politeness is not an excuse for you to take advantage of, understand?”

Yuri still looked very unconvinced, but he did not dare to say anything in the face of a general who had been in power for a long time.

I didn’t have to be calculative with a villain who bullied the weak and feared the strong, but I know that Yuri’s words were the thoughts of many people present. Although they seemed harmonious on the surface, who would be convinced by a ‘noble lady’?

Their mission was to explore the Rocky Mountains and find clues to ‘cure’ Dorothy and me. This kind of private order would only make them more dissatisfied.

If I wanted to obtain the respect of my team members, I had to put down my arrogance and show some real skills.

I walked up to Yuri and looked into his evasive eyes. “You’re not happy with me, are you? Because of my background? Because of your mission? Is it because you think a rotten noble like me is not worthy of the service of a great warrior like you?”

“Isn’t that the truth?” Yuri shouted. “Isn’t that true? I don’t know what kind of strange illness you and your sister have, but we are warriors born to protect our fellow werewolves. We are not servants of the rich and powerful like you who can be ordered around by you!”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. He even brought up his parents. “In my opinion, the elders were right. His Majesty is already confused. He has long lost the wisdom and valor of his youth. He can’t stand the Queen’s tears. You don’t even have a title!”

I flew into a rage. “How dare you slander the Lycan King and the Queen?! You’re just a laughable and cynical clown! Without His Majesty’s wise rule, you would have long been chopped up by the sorcerers to be used as raw material for magic potions!”

Aldrich and Frank immediately stepped forward to separate us. The latter shouted, “Calm down! Look at yourselves!”

Yuri was brought to a corner by Frank. His expression was both disdainful and angry, as if he was very proud of being able to ‘admonish the superior’.

Aldrich looked like he wanted to punch Yuri, but his rationality told him not to.

Dorothy looked at me worriedly. I indicated to her that she was fine and tried my best to calm down.

“all right, ladies and gentlemen, it’s late now. Go back and rest. Don’t forget to set the alarm for the night,” Frank ordered everyone tiredly.

After returning to the cold sleeping bag, I was a little depressed. Dorothy did not know how to comfort me and could only hold my hand tightly.

It was a dreamless night.

At five o ‘clock in the morning, we were woken up by the whistle and began to wash up and make breakfast.

Thanks to my persevering training, I was good at getting up early. Dorothy, on the other hand, was not so comfortable. She was in a daze the entire morning and almost ate her hair.

“Are you very sleepy? There’s still half an hour before we set out,” I asked worriedly. “You should sleep a little longer.”

Dorothy waved her hand and yawned. “No, I’m fine.”

“Frank sent a team member down the mountain with the man he picked up last night, and then, they will personally lead us to the second base.

“The second base is built in a cave,” Frank explained on the way. “It saves us the time and effort of building houses, which is very good. The living environment in the cave is worse than the wooden house, which is very bad.”

“Why did you build the base in the cave?” I asked curiously.

“First of all, the cave is a natural residence that nature has provided for us. It’s sturdy and durable. Secondly, the cave was more effective in keeping warm, and it was easier to set up concealment measures. Third, there’s no main road here, so the construction materials can’t be transported. We can only make do with the current conditions.”

Indeed, the road from the first base to the second base was much more rugged than the road from the foot of the mountain to the first base. We only reached our destination when the sun was setting.
