BELLE’S POV
Belle watched in humiliation as Xaden attacked another Alpha over a mere slave.
First, he turned down her offer to be with him and went after the slave.
And just as she stood watching him leave with her, she felt ashamed.
She turned around and saw that all eyes were on her.
He had disgraced her, all because of that mere servant!
Alex groaned in pain as his men came to his assistance.
She had never liked her cousin Alexander, so she didn’t feel so bad that he was hurt.
What she wanted was for Xaden to take someone’s life for her.
The way he had done it for this slave!
She bent down towards Alex. "You’re so weak and useless!"
"Better a weak Alpha than a jilted woman." Alexander said. "You would never have him."
Her face went ashen white.
"How dare you?" She started.
His men assisted in lifting him.
"Don’t be stupid. Spoilt daddy’s girl. You think everyone doesn’t see it?" And his voice went louder.
She felt cold and ashamed.
"Everyone sees how the King’s daughter and the future Queen parade themselves, chasing after a man who does not want her." He said.
There were murmurs in the crowd.
Belle instantly regretted pouring her anger on him.
"Be quiet, or I’ll
"And even fighting in front of slaves," Alex said.
She pulsed and took a step back.
"Better a weak Alpha than a woman who, regardless of how many times she spreads her legs open," he said. "I would never attract a man."
There were gasps among the crowd.
No one in the royal family was there to support her.
Her parents had retired, and her mother and aunt were off somewhere.
She was glad they weren’t because she couldn’t stand this shame.
She went to the table, grabbed the goblet that Xaden had drunk from, and left.
As usual, she marched out of the ballroom in despair and humiliation and ran to where her mother could be.
She found her mother and aunt stirring a massive pot.
They turned to look at her.
"What’s the matter with you?" Her mother asked.
"Something needs to be done about that slave." Belle said. "She is ruining everything."
