A Female Alpha’s Revenge novel Chapter 643

Chapter 643

Third Person’s POV

“Well, it’s not just me!” Ellen added with a grin.

“Right, of course.” Ulrik gave an awkward laugh and stole a glance at Adelaide.

He continued, “Then I’ll organize an evening banquet at Bloodmoon sometime soon and invite all of you to join.”

“Sounds good.” Ampelio nodded, adding a pointed remark. “I’ll definitely be there, but I wonder if Gamma Adelaide will do us the honor.”

Ampelio was currently in a state of “outward submission, inward defiance” toward Adelaide.

He deliberately made that comment to put Adelaide in an awkward spot.

Adelaide sat in her chair, narrowing her eyes at the lingering bruises on Ampelio’s face.

She finally spoke. “Ampelio, for a Deputy Captain of the Royal Guard, your combat skills are terrible. In a few days, I will personally organize an assessment. All twelve commanders of the Royal Guard must attend. Go notify them.”

Ampelio bristled. “Are we the only ones being assessed?” he challenged.

Adelaide replied coolly, “Every team will be assessed, but we will start with the Royal Guard. Other teams will follow in order, and will conduct random spot–checks at appropriate times.”

“Why do we have to go first?” Ampelio insisted.

Adelaide showed no mercy. “Because I think your skills are lacking. If you fail the assessment, you won’t be fit for the Deputy Captain position. I will then select a more capable person to take over.”

Ampelio argued, “I am perfectly capable of handling the Deputy Captain role! But if you insist on comparing me to you, who could possibly measure up?”

Adelaide let out a cold snort. “Your skills aren’t as good as mine, and your rank isn’t as high. So why are you constantly trying to stir up trouble? Since you have so much free time, you should focus on improving yourself. I’ll give you three days to prepare. We will meet at the Capital Guard training grounds in three days.”

Ampelio groaned internally. Facing off against Adelaide was just asking for a beating.

And now, all twelve of his commanders would have to suffer with him.

They were going to despise him. “She–wolves are so petty!”

After Adelaide left, Ampelio turned a pleading look toward Ellen. “You two have a good relationship. Can you go talk to her for me?”

Ellen deliberately turned his head, looking down his nose. “I’m just a ‘dog.’ I can’t even talk. What makes you think I have the standing to plead your case?”

He let out a dismissive snort and walked away.

Ampelio rubbed his nose, grumbling to himself, “Fine, sometimes men are pettier than women.”

He quickly caught up to Ellen and grabbed his arm, apologizing profusely. “I was just kidding! We’ve known each other for years. Don’t be like that!”

“Not physically hitting you is me being generous enough,” Ellen said coldly, looking at him. “Let go.”

“I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean it,” Ampelio quickly explained.

“I was just annoyed that we were going to be run by a she–wolve. It felt humiliating. I wasn’t trying to pick a fight with you–you were the one assisting her every step of the way!”

Ellen said icily, “I don’t care if she’s male or female. If she’s more capable than me, I won’t feel slighted. Besides, Lycan Erasmus personally appointed her. Are you resisting her, or are you trying to defy the Lycan King? If you think being a man makes you superior, then beat her and make sure she can’t hold her head up around you–that’s far more effective than standing here spouting nonsense, isn’t it?”

Seeing his genuine anger, Ampelio sighed helplessly. “It looks like you really are mad at me.”

“You think you’re the only one who gets to have a temper?” Ellen yanked his arm free and strode away.

Ampelio returned to the office sheepishly. Seeing Anilo and Ulrik still there, he slumped down into a chair.
