175-Game Of Death
Author's POV:
Recent Time:
It's been some time that Mykel started helping Reign, and also their secret relationship started. Reign
didn't feel icky anymore. In fact, she liked how caring and mature Mykel was.
He would always text her and ask her how she was feeling. He never forced her to sleep with him. He
would usually wait for her to make an attempt, and even a little kiss from her would start something big.
That day, Dream saw her sister with Mykel in the car. She wanted to speak to her sister and ask her
what was happening, but she couldn't because their father needed their immediate attention.
"I have sat you two down to discuss something important with you," Lord Winchester said, watching his
two daughters sit on separate couches, being polar opposites of each other.
"Are mom and brother coming home?" Dream asked excitedly, hoping that was the news he wanted to
give her. The mere mention of those two angered Winchester.
"You should learn to sit silently and not open your ugly mouth whenever something pops up in your
head. This is the very reason I believe Reign is better than you. Or maybe one of the many reasons,"
Winchester scoffed when scolding Dream. Hearing such words from a father was indeed like a stab to
Dream's chest. But she kept her eyes down and sucked the tears in.

I am sorry!" Dream whispered.
"She was just being concerned,' Reign whispered, too afraid to defend her sister in a loud tone.
"Anyway," Winchester stretched his neck to calm down before he forced a smile on his lips once again.
"I have decided to retire. I have been working since I was sixteen. It is about time I take some time for
myself, but that doesn't mean I will leave my pack hanging and suffer behind me. So, can anyone of
you tell me what my next plan is for the pack?- He turned to his daughters one by one, excited to hear
if they could make a guess.
Since Dream had already unsettled him, she wanted to say the right thing this time.
"I know,’ she raised her hand and watched her father smile at her, "You are being a good alpha, and
before leaving, you want to make some rules that will be for the benefit of the pack. Not only that, you
would have a great parting ceremony too,’ she smiled sweetly, finishing with a proud shrug of her
shoulders.
Her father was watching her face in silence before he let out a loud grunt that wiped off her smile.
"AND WHO WILL TAKE THE LEAD? YOU DUMBASS!" he yelled in front of the maids that were
bringing them food. Dream turned around and drowned her face once more.
The feeling of being a failure and never saying the right thing was beginning to be a burden on her
chest.
"I gave you much more importance than Reign because I saw a spark in you. But I am beginning to
realize I have made a mistake. I wasted my time and efforts on the trashy one." Winchester had no
idea what he was doing to his daughters. He had previously hurt Reign, but now he has changed sides
and was relying on Reign more than Dream.
Reign didn't like how her father was saying mean things to Dream. But all she could do was lower her
head and grunt internally.
"Reign! You tell me," Winchester then turned to Reign and asked her in a much softer tone.
Reign knew what he wanted to hear, but that would only make him hurt Dream more. So instead of
giving the right answer, Reign shook her head and disappointed him.
"I was expecting a good response from you," her father said, but he wasn't as explosive towards Reign
as he was towards Dream. However, it used to be like that for Reign, but the tables have turned now.
"I am going to be choosing a new alpha of the pack,"' he said, watching his daughters' faces for a
reaction. The two reluctantly smiled and cheered, clapping when, deep down inside, they were not
happy at all.
Dream was afraid of losing and then hearing taunts from everyone, and Reign was afraid of winning
and watching her sister suffer. But if she doesn't try to win, she will suffer.

into deep slumber will win.’ As soon as he said those words, the two raised their heads and stared at
their father with shock-filled eyes.
"You mean—," Dream couldn't finish when her father nodded to her.
"There is no use for the two of you when there is only one alpha needed." He wasn't too impressed
with how his daughters reacted. He was expecting a good competitive reaction from them.
"You want US to kill each other?" Reign had to raise her face to ask her father.
"Would you want an envious sister to roam around when you take the crown? The loser will never stop
coming after the winner to get what she thinks belonged to her,’ her father grunted, glaring at her for
not appreciating his attempts at eliminating the competition.
"The competition will take place in a few months. I hope you two prepare well as it is going to be a
matter of life and death for you two," he announced, starving for food. The instant he delivered the
news to his daughters, he attacked the food.
The two were not going to eat anything for a long time, it seemed. They were dismissed, and while
walking towards their rooms, Dream came in Reign's way to have a word with her.
"Lady Sofia has planned a gathering. She wants US to be at her mansion. Do you think you can adjust
some time?" Dream asked Reign, wanting to talk about Mykel, but the timing was not right.
"Sure, I will be there,* Reign said, forcing the answer even when being around Maddox made her feel
empty.
