Chapter 12: Staying In The SRoom 

Jennifer's POV:

Elizabeth was wearing a gorgeous gown, but she looked thin and haggard.

Obviously, she had been ill for a long time.

Nevertheless, she looked like an amiable woman.

She was probably in good spirits after finding out that Prince Anthony had found his mate.

"Are you Jennifer?" Elizabeth asked excitedly, getting up from her seat and rushing towardsto receive me.

The maid next to her reached out and supported her in a hurry.

"Mrs.Jones, you are still sick.Please take care of yourself."

"It doesn't matter.I know what I am doing," Elizabeth said sternly, pushing her hand away.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs.Jones," I greeted, curtsying to her.

"Don't be so formal." She grinned from ear to ear, holding my hand.

"Are you hungry? Delicious food is being prepared. You must stay for dinner."

It was very kind of her to say that, but I didn't want to agree rashly, so I turned to look at Anthony, who gavea nod.

"Don't look at him. I make the decisions," Elizabeth said, winking at me.

"You don't have to go back tonight.After so long, he's finally found his mate.You have to stay with me for a while."

"Mom, Jennifer needs to train tomorrow," Prince Anthony reminded her.

"Let's have dinner first."

With a big smile, Elizabeth held my hand tightly and ignored her son.I felt relieved.

She was way kinder than I thought she would be.

I liked her not because of her status, but because of her warm demeanor.

If my mother was still alive, she would be at a similar age.

The royal dinner was not as stiff and formal as I thought it would, but maybe it was because Elizabeth was an open -minded person.

I talked a lot with her until dusk.

After dinner, the sky was completely dark, and it began to rain.

Prince Anthony insisted on takingback to Marge Island, so we bid Elizabeth goodbye and walked to the car.

But just as we were about to set out, Elizabeth's maid ran over with an umbrella and stopped Anthony, who already had his hands on the wheel.

"Mr.Jones, your mother is not feeling well. Please cand have a look."

"What?"

Anthony and I got out of the car and rushed back into the palace.

Elizabeth was lying in the bed in her room, and the court doctor was examining her body.

After a while, he cover and said, "Mr.Jones, your mother is fine."

It was only then that Anthony and I let out a sigh of relief.

"You can stay here tonight," Elizabeth said in a frail voice, holding my hand.

I couldn't bear to refuse her, and it seemed that neither could Anthony, because after pausing for a moment, he agreed.

In order to take care of her, Anthony and I stayed wanted to stay as close to her as possible.

Unexpectedly, the maid arranged only one room for the two of us.

"Mr.Jones, don't you want them to arrange another room for me?" I asked in confusion.

"No need." Hearing that madeblush immediately.

"What?"

"My mother specially arranged this room for us."

It was said that a mother knew her son better than anyone else, but the reverse applied, too.

Anthony knew that Elizabeth was deliberately making us sleep in the sroom, so he didn't want to refuse her, and just followed her arrangement.

Although he always acted cold, he was actually a warm- hearted person.

So I stopped struggling in my heart.

After entering the room, I walked around and looked around to ease the embarrassment of being alone with him.

It was a large room with an attached bathroom, a washstand, large French windows, and a walk-in closet, in which there was a variety of women's clothes.

All the clothes were brand new, and sof them were so sexy and revealing that they madefeel embarrassed. "These are all your size.I guess my mother asked someone to buy them for you,"

Anthony remarked.He was sitting on the sofa and looking at me.

The big bed next to him was decorated with roses strewn around the bed in the shape of a big heart.

On the floor, there were candles, and the chandelier hanging above his head emanated a dim hazy glow that could leave one feeling intoxicated.

All in all, the room was decorated as if it was for newly- weds.

Coupled with what Prince Anthony said about the clothes, I felt even more embarrassed.

When I looked over at him, I saw that his ears were also red, and he was avoiding my eyes.

Obviously, he felt as uneasy as I did, if not more.

At this time, faint footsteps cfrom outside.

"My mother is outside," Prince Anthony said in a low voice.

"She's eavesdropping?" I couldn't believe it.

How could she do such a thing? But Prince Anthony just gavea nod of confirmation.

"Then what should we do?"

By this point, I was so embarrassed that I wished the floor would openup and swallowwhole.

"Go to sleep." Prince Anthony lay down on the sofa, obviously offering the bed to me.

Of course, it made sense.

From what I knew about Prince Anthony, tolerating staying in the sroom withwas already a big deal for him.

How could he really do something else just to let his mother overhear it? Shaking my head, I went over to the bed and lay down.

The bed was big and comfortable, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep knowing that I was in the sroom as Prince Anthony.

To my surprise, I dozed off quite quickly, and I had a very good sleep.

It seemed that staying in the sroom with Prince Anthony was actually comforting for me.

The next morning, Prince Anthony and I left the royal palace and returned to Marge Island before dawn.

He was afraid that his mother would cup with sexcuse or another to retain us longer.

After slipping back in unnoticed, I rushed to the training ground.

Today was officially the first day of training.

Carson asked us to divide ourselves into pairs and practice attacking and defending.

I teamed up with a werewolf called Daniel, and the opponents assigned to us were Barbara and Kevin.

It was said that enemies were bound to meet, and it seemed that it was true.

It was because of Barbara that Skylar and I had been late yesterday, and I hadn't settled accounts with her yet.

Today, I could take this opportunity to get back at her.

Since it was a training match between teams that each consisted of a male and a female, Daniel would fight against Kevin, while I took on Barbara.

I was confident that I could beat Barbara to a pulp.

I wanted to teach her the consequences of bullying others.

Before each match, the members of the two teams were supposed to introduce themselves and shake hands.

"Hello, I'm Daniel from Black Stone Pack,"

Daniel said, holding out his right hand to me.

"I'm glad to be in your team."

I shook hands with him, and we exchanged smiles of greeting.

Daniel was handswith delicate facial features, especially his eyes, which were as beautiful as shining black pearls.

He had a smiling face, which madefeel warm and comfortable.

"I'm Jennifer," I told him.

At that moment, Barbara rudely chimed in, "She is a slave from our pack.Everyone knows that she's a bitch.Daniel, I heard that you are the heir of an Alpha.Why waste your twith a bitch?"

Hearing that, Daniel looked atin astonishment.I turned red and looked away, hating Barbara even more.

"The team training starts now!"Carson announced, blowing on his whistle.

"This is an attacking and defending training.Everyone should be mentally prepared for getting injured.But remember to control yourself and not hurt the opponent too badly."

"You don't have to take others' words seriously, Jennifer.My intuition tellsthat you are not that kind of a person, "

Daniel said comfortingly, pattingon the shoulder.

I shot him a grateful look, and he smiled gently.

Hearing Carson's whistle, I clenched my fists and punched Barbara in the face.
