Chapter 8
No matter what I do, I am doing something incorrectly. Bianca takes every opportunity she can to throw veiled insults in my direction, disgusting them as harmless poloes so the Healers laugh along with her.
“Scalpel,” Bianca demands behind a pearly white smile.
Inod and grab the instrument from the silver tray. I hand it to her, the sharp blade facing my direction
Our eyes meet and I swear I can see a flash of deviousness in her eyes.
Bianca feigns a gasp and the scalpel goes flying. The blade skips across the palm of her hand
She let out a sharp, pained gasp.
“Ouch
Barely any blood leaves her hand, a thin slice of her hand is merely a deep red color instead of her profusely bleeding.
Soren rushes to the front of the room. He takes Bianca’s hands in his and glares at me.

She cries take tears and wipes them away with her free hand. “…It’s okay, Calia, I forgive you. We all make mistakes,” Blanca dramatically sighs.
I stumble away from the front of the room but am immediately met by other Healers. They look down at me with fury written across their faces
“How can you do this!”
“How dare you! You tool! All you do is mimic Blanca!”
“Did you do this on purpose? Have you been jealous of Bianca all along?”
“I didn’t…” my sentence is cut short by Soren’s icy glare.
“You will apologize to her when she is better,” Soren’s words are as cold as his glare.
If he isn’t already angry with me from before, I can only imagine the amount of rage he feels towards me now. I watch as he guides Blanca out of the room. My feet carry me back over to Lily, who stands in the back of the room.
She pulls me into a quick embrace. Her hug comforts me and I sigh into her shoulder. We stand there for a couple of uninterrupted seconds.
“Do you know the Alpha King by chance?”
Lily’s question shocks me back to life. I pull away and stare at her.
Lily says, “Back when he deliberately made you Bianca’s assistant… It feels like he’s targeting you…I’ve heard that when a man targets a woman, it’s because he likes her.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,
I nervously chuckle, smacking her arm. “How could that be?”
“True…my family is just a minor noble house, and I’ve barely seen him…Celsa, you’re just an ordinary commoner. How could someone as important as the Alpha King?“Lily sigh.

I force a smile onto my face despite my heart aching. I turn and dip out of the room, Lily following close behind, and bump into Ethan just outside of the door.
“Hi, Ethan.” I politely say. My sadness made it impossible for m
for me to say anything more.
“Hi, Celia,” Ethan breathes out, looking down at me, “you look really pretty today.”
“…..Uh, thanks?”
I murmured, feeling confused. After what had just happened, I could only imagine how terrible I must look right now. “You here to give me
Some new tasks?”
“What? Oh! Yes!” Fuhan chuckles and pulls out a stack of papers.

My head turns back to face her. “Of course Piu not.”
