Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 48 A Special Program

"What’s that?" Emily whispered, and the animals in the cage looked like hounds, but they were taller than the average hound, with blood-red eyes, pointed mouths sealed with clear tape, and ears triangular and uplifted.

They were kept in cages, against which they kept banging their heads, as if trying to break free and escape. Emily had never seen such a hideous and ferocious animal in the South.

"It’s dog slaves." Klaus replied calmly, he squeezed Emily’s hand, "Don’t be afraid, they won’t hurt you." "

Dog slaves? Emily remembered a story Mrs. Ball had told her when she was a child, in which the animal dog slave was mentioned. Dogs are said to be semi-formal supernatural beings who, although they look like hounds, are actually more ferocious and have a higher intelligence than hounds.

Mrs. Power says that dog-slaves, generally collected on the North-South border, were once trained to be used as tools in the field, but as time went on they became less and less common.

"What do you want to do?" The deep voice of King Famal came from the throne, and he returned to his place, but the queen beside him was nowhere to be seen. His brow was furrowed, and his gaze was fixed upon Dyson, as if to gain some insight into his real intentions.

"This is the dog slave I sent someone to catch at the border." The corners of Dyson’s mouth curled upwards with a hint of incomprehension, and he said to the king, "I propose that there be a hunt tonight, and whoever catches the most dog slaves will be the winner tonight." "

At last his eyes fell on Klaus.

"What rewards do you get for those who win?" " asked a bearded Alpha, his eyes flashing with interest and avarice, clearly attracted by the offer.

"Of course, there will be a reward for those who win." "I would suggest that everyone who participates in a hunting tournament should use one of their most valuable things as chips, and that the tournament be divided into two groups, Alpha and Luna, who have caught the most prey, will split all the chips equally." "

"That sounds like a great idea." The bearded Alpha responded, "I’ll join."

Dyson nodded, and a maid came up to Alpha with an empty silver plate, on which he took off the ruby ring he held in his hand and tossed it on the plate, where it made a crisp sound.

"Alpha Smith offered a ruby ring as a bargaining chip for tonight’s hunt." Dyson deliberately shouted, "I want everyone in the room to participate in this game." "

"I’m not interested in this game." Klaus’s tone was cold, his eyes betrayed contempt and anger for Dyson, and he saw clearly the sinister intentions behind Dyson’s words.

"Oh, come on, Klaus." Dyson deliberately feigned disappointment, "This game is specially prepared for you, how can you refuse." "

" There was a hint of mockery and defiance in his voice.

"I’m not going to be involved in this kind of boring game." Klaus was resolute.

"Bored?" Dyson’s gaze fell on Emily, and there was a hint of provocation in his voice, "Why don’t you ask your Luna if she wants to participate in this game?" "

Klaus’s eyes flashed with determination, and he was about to reply, but King Famer’s voice interposed first. "

"Hunting is a tradition for us northerners." The King’s voice was low and majestic, and his words were like cold blades cutting through the hall, "Klaus, I don’t think you and your Luna should refuse this game."

Dyson smiled flatteringly, trying to match the King’s words, "You’re absolutely right, Your Majesty."

The king, however, paid no attention to Dyson’s flattery, but looked straight at Krause, with piercing eyes, as if he wished to look into Klaus’s heart and ascertain the cause of his so obstinate refusal.

"Okay, I’ll join." Klaus finally relented, and he said in a calm and powerful voice, "But my Luna is too tired and she needs to rest, so please allow her not to participate in this game." "

As soon as Klaus finished speaking, one of the Alphas took the lead, "We want to see what the Southerners are capable of." "

"Yes, let’s see the strength of the princess."

"Come on,Luna · Emily. "

The aristocratic ladies, who looked down upon Emily, began to cheer, and to shout her name in a tone full of agitation and defiance.

The king raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he looked at Emily, "So, what is your decision?" "

Emily felt the eyes of every one present fixed upon her, and her heart beat fast, but she did not flinch.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at the king with a determined gaze, "I’m participating." "

Emily’s voice was not loud, but it was clear throughout the hall. For an instant all noise died away, and only Emily’s resolute answer rang through the air.

Klaus looked at Emily, and there was a hint of mingled emotion in her eyes.

"Good." With a hint of satisfaction in King Famar’s voice, he stood up, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the hall, "Then I will be the referee of the game, and after the game, I will give the winner a special honor."

The king’s words roused the crowd, and they shouted long live the king, and they brought out their most valuable articles to increase the stakes of the game. The hall erupted in cheers and conversation, all engrossed in the impending game.

"We’ll see you in an hour at the royal hunting ground on the outskirts." " announced Dyson, with a sneer in his eyes.

As a result, guests left the ballroom and needed to change into lighter clothing before heading to their meeting points.

When Klaus and Emily returned to the room, he said to Emily in a slightly reproachful tone, "Why did you agree to join the game just now?" "

"I can’t refuse." Emily reluctantly said that she knew that Klaus cared about her, "I can’t let others think that your princess is weak."

"Let them die." There was a hint of anger in Klaus’s voice, "I don’t care what they say."

"But I care." Emily said firmly, "Even though I knew this was what Dyson was doing, I had to accept it."

"Klaus, this challenge is coming at me, and I can’t back down."

Klaus stared at Emily, and he saw a determined glint in her eyes, so he compromised, "Very well, in that case, then I will meet the challenge with you." "

"Thank you, Klaus." There was a hint of emotion in Emily’s voice as she thanked Klaus for understanding and respecting her decision.

"Time is running out, change your clothes, kitten." "I’ll tell you a few things to know about hunting when I’m in the car," Klaus said." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Don’t forget, I’m a good student to learn and use." Emily smiled confidently.

"I never doubted your ability to learn." " said Klaus, kissing her forehead.

On the way to the hunting grounds, Klaus tells Emily what to look out for during the hunt, and he shows her a map of the hunting grounds, where the traps are hidden, and two sabers for Emily’s protection.

By the time they reached the hunting grounds, the guests had changed into civilian clothes and were waiting outside, and when everyone had arrived, Dyson explained the rules of the game.

After catching a dog slave, cut off the dog slave’s right ear and put it in a special pocket, and when the game is over, the winner is the one who collects the most dog slave ears. The game lasts two hours and ends at the second horn.

Since the Alpha and Luna groups were in two different areas of the hunting grounds, Klaus and Emily had to move separately.

So Emily and the other Lunas go to the exclusive competition area of the Luna Group, and just as the game is about to start, the other Lunas strip off their clothes.

"What are you doing?" Emily asked, confused.

"Aren’t you going to take on the form of a wolf to hunt?" A Luna from the Border Pack, who had not yet changed into a wolf, stood naked before Emily and looked at her in bewilderment.

"The rules of the game don’t require you to change the form of a wolf." Emily emphasized.

"Oh, dear." She said contemptuously, her voice full of disdain and mockery, "Then you’re going to lose." "

Then the trumpets sounded, and the game of hunting began.

With the exception of Emily, all of the Lunas transform into wolf form, and they instantly transform into fierce she-wolves, rushing into the hunting grounds at great speed in search of prey.

"She’s right, if I don’t transform into wolf form, I’ll lose." Emily clenched her fists and looked into the dark jungle, "But I can’t lose."

Emily took a deep breath, her mind ringing with Klaus’ advice to her on how to deal with Dog slaves.

"When you lock eyes with it, make sure you don’t chicken out." She repeated the words.

"You can do it, Emily," she reassured herself.

Finally, she gathered the courage to step into the dark woods.
