Chapter 15 Third Person's POV Melinda , noticing a pause in Cliff's conversation with the businessmen and his gaze still firmly fixed on Vanya , deliberately raised her voice and said , " Luna Vanya is so impressive , she can even play the violin . " " After all , she has obtained a professional - level certification in violin , " Cliff responded indifferently . Among their group , there was no shortage of people who could play musical instruments . A professional - level certification in violin was not rare . Most of the guests present had received good musical education and could discern the quality of a performance . However , the numerous applause Vanya received was enough to show her profound skill in violin performance . Cliff spoke of the professional - level certification in such a light manner , as if it wasn't a significant achievement . Originally , Melinda thought that Vanya became Cliff's Luna simply because she was the daughter of the Alpha of the Thunder Pack , born with noble blood and abundant resources . Melinda subconsciously believed that Vanya relied on her family's protection , like those exquisite porcelain pieces that only had appearance and were for display , lacking inner strength and true talent . But now , witnessing Vanya's various performances at the banquet , she first conversed fluently in French with the French financial giant , and then conquered the crowd with her touching olin performance . The confidence and ease she exuded in every move were not something that could be feigned with just beauty . All of this was like a heavy slap , striking Melinda's blindly arrogant face , making her completely understand how foolish and ridiculous her previous perceptions were . On the other side , Derrick and Theodore huddled together , chatting in low voices . " I didn't expect Vanya to have some skills . She played really well ," Derrick , leaning against the corridor handrail in the corner , praised sincerely . " Indeed , " Theodore nodded in agreement . " Do you , a tone - deaf , even understand music ? " Derrick teased Theodore . " I don't understand , but I like it , " Theodore said with a faint smile on his face . Perhaps he was not proficient in the intricacies of music , but because the violin was played by Vanya , it appeared exceptionally different in his eyes and heart . As if the music had an enchanting power , it could directly penetrate the softest corner of his heart . Vanya's POV After finishing my conversations with the noble ladies for the time being , I rose to head towards the restroom . As I approached the corner , a familiar scent suddenly caught my keen attention . It bore a resemblance to the enormous wolf I had encountered in the Shadow Forest , and my wolf seemed to recognize it too , growing restless . My body tensed instantaneously . Before I could react , a hand shot out from the side , and I was yanked into a very concealed corner , Alarmed , I instinctively wanted to call for help , but a man's hand quickly covered my mouth from behind . " Stay still , " the man whispered , his hot chest pressed tightly against my back , the pressure almost suffocating me . 1/2 Chapter 15 My wolf instincts were strongly triggered in this critical moment , and my wolf claws began to extend uncontrollably , and my teeth sharpened . I suddenly bit down on the man's wrist . " His- ! " The man gasped in pain , " Do you want to shift here ? " The man's shocked exclamation jolted me awake . I tried to suppress the wolf instincts stirring within me , calming myself down as quickly as possible , and then swiftly creating distance between us . Upon recognizing the person in front of me , I stared at him in astonishment . " Theodore ? " " Who else did you think it would be ? " he retorted . " What are you doing sneaking around for ? " I asked indignantly , my heart still lingering with the panic and fear from the wolf's outburst just now . " I snuck in , afraid of being seen ," he replied . You must be joking , right ? Mr. Winston is your … " The words were on the tip of my tongue when I suddenly realized I couldn't continue , so I quickly shut my mouth . Theodore raised his eyebrow , " Hmm ? What is it ?" Of course , I knew Theodore had Lycan heritage and was a descendant of Mr. Winston . However , Mr. Winston had not publicly acknowledged it yet . I remembered that in my previous life , after Mr. Winston passed away , he left Theodore a large inheritance and handed over a wolf pack under Lycan jurisdiction to Theodore , making him an Alpha . No one knew about this at the time , and I almost slipped . I dared not meet his probing gaze , guiltily averted my sight , and hastily made up for it , " I mean , Mr. Winston is kind - hearted , and you are a dominant figure in the overseas business world . Even if you sneak in , no one would dare to talk back . " " Perhaps , but I prefer to be cautious , " Theodore said . Looking at him , I spoke bluntly , " Don't tell me you snuck in just to say these things to me ." I didn't think he would be so bored . There must be a deeper purpose for his actions . " Here for you , " Theodore handed me the contract in his hand . I looked down and saw it was the contract for my four - million - dollar loan . " Just for this ? " I asked . Theodore nodded . " Boring ," I grumbled in a low voice , signed directly , and then threw the contract back at him . To sneak in , especially at night , just to have me sign a contract . " As y " Sur 3 ?
