Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Selma Payne’s POV:

I was already very annoyed, but someone interrupted me.

“Oh, it’s been hard on our young lady. Is the presence of so many people enough for you to rest with peace of mind? Shall we send two more people to make your bed?”

I didn’t have to guess. Who else could it be other than Yuri?

Master Kevin was examining me. I didn’t want to pay attention to him, but someone was taking advantage of me. Yuri’s voice was getting louder and louder. “Why aren’t you talking? Do you think this place is a holiday resort?”

There was a thud, the sound of Aldrich lifting Yuri against the rock wall.

He didn’t care about Yuri’s frightened curses. Instead, he said to Frank, “You should discipline your subordinates, Frank. This kind of person would be scolded a hundred times a day in the military. I think you aren’t a soft-hearted leader, right?”

Frank rubbed his temples tiredly and said in a deep voice, “Put him down, Aldrich. I will explain to you.”

“Before I let him go, I’m afraid there’s still something he hasn’t done.” Aldrich turned Yuri’s face toward me. “Whether you’re a warrior or a gentleman, isn’t it unrefined and vulgar to attack a woman for no reason? You should apologize to her.”

Yuri looked at Frank for help, but the latter only said, “Be a man, Yuri.”

In the end, Yuri unwillingly apologized to me, broke free of Aldrich’s grip, and hid in a corner, feeling embarrassed.

Linda, who was in the same group, seemed to want to comfort him, but he pushed her away rudely.

Frank sat down in front of us and sighed. “I apologize for what Yuri did. I didn’t discipline him well as his leader.”

I didn’t have a good impression of this clown, Yuri, but he was a good person. I hurriedly said, “It’s okay. It’s not your fault. It’s a matter of biodiversity.”

“Actually, Yuri wasn’t like this before,” said Frank, chuckling dryly. “At first, he was like all the other ambitious young men. He was a passionate and cheerful young man, but some things happened later, and his temperament changed drastically.”

“What happened?” I asked.

Frank seemed to be considering whether to reveal it or not. Seeing this, I waved my hand. “It’s okay. It’s his privacy. I’d better not ask.”

He then gestured for Master Kevin to continue his inspection.

Next to me, Frank was looking at me with a complicated expression, sighing from time to time.

“You’re a noble lady,” he said after the examination.

“I don’t think it’s a compliment,” I said indifferently. “Don’t you want to rest? It’s already very late, and you still have to keep watch at night.”

“I miss the time you used the soft nail technique. I have no choice but to say it now.”

I didn’t deny it.

“I am not hoping that you’ll be generous enough to forget about Yuri’s words and actions,” he said helplessly. “I want you to know that Yuri isn’t vicious. He’s just a little... straightforward.”

“This has nothing to do with me. He’s just a member of the advanced team.” I acted very coldly.

“Alright.” Finally, Frank surrendered. “I won’t interfere with your decision anymore. I’ll at least wait until everything is over, right?”

“Of course.” I laughed. “You don’t have to worry. I can still see the big picture. After all, even the vicious nobles have basic common sense, don’t they?”

With a deep sigh, Frank left.

Dorothy looked at him in confusion and asked me, “What are you guys talking about? Why don’t I understand a single word?”

“It’s about dealing with Yuri,” I said. “It’s nothing. I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

Dorothy was still confused, but Aldrich’s gaze told me he understood what I meant.

Did I purposely cause trouble for Yuri? I didn’t think I was mean, and I didn’t like to put on airs like a noble, but Yuri slandered my parents in public. Even if I didn’t punish him in the future, his words and deeds had violated military discipline, and he couldn’t escape punishment.

I respected him, but I wouldn’t just let him go.

From the day I returned to my parents’ side, I gradually realized that I could no longer be as weak-tempered as I was before.

When I was the orphan Selma, I could live a better life by giving in appropriately. But when I became Princess Madeline, weakness would only allow my enemies to push their luck.

Master Kevin finally completed his examination.

“The good news is that you and your wolf are in close contact, and there are no problems,” Kevin said. “The bad news is that you’ve been cursed, which has actively blocked communication with your wolf.”

“That’s not good. Selma hasn’t learned how to transform into a wolf yet. We can’t even get Maxine to come out and reverse the curse.”

Master Hayley wasn’t too optimistic, either. “This is the brilliance of the person who placed the curse. It forms a closed loop. We can’t find an incision to solve the problem.”

“Wait!” I raised my hand and asked, “Can’t I remove the curse myself?

“That’s one way,” Master Kevin said. “But the premise is that you can understand the concept of wolves. But your thoughts in this regard have also been blocked.”
