Chapter 3 Vanya's POV Cliff carried Melinda out of the Packhouse , their backs seeming to tear a deep rift . I stood still . I could feel the gazes of the pack members around me , a mix of surprise , contempt , and sympathy piercing me like invisible needles . But I showed no emotion . I turned calmly , planning to leave the suffocating place . At that moment , Beta Elliot hurried to my side and asked , " Luna Vanya , are you alright ? " I glanced at him and replied calmly , " I'm fine . " He frowned slightly , " I know this isn't fair to you , but Alpha Cliff … no matter what , he's doing it for the pack . I hope you understand , we , the pack members , will support you . " I vividly remembered Elliot's unwavering support for Cliff all the time . He even sided with Melinda in public later on . So , I had little fondness for him . I said , " Thank you ." Then , I ignored him , walking straight out . Leaving the Packhouse , I began to call for my wolf , Selena , in my mind . Usually , she would quickly respond , communicate with me , and offer advice and support . But now , I could only sense her in a terrible state . She was emitting low whimpers , no longer responding as usual . W % h なり 113 This was the same as before my rebirth . This situation lasted over a year , leaving my wolf extremely weak , to the point where I couldn't heal myself . I sighed inwardly . Fate seemed to be mercilessly playing with me . Even though the Moon Goddess granted me a chance to rebirth , the predicament before me mirrored my past life . " What was the point of this rebirth , then ? ' " Was it just to experience pain and despair again ? ' I walked heavily through the pack's square , ignoring the gazes of all the pack members around . Many greeted me . Their eyes filled with complex emotions , clearly aware of what had happened at the Packhouse earlier . Jenny also rushed over and said softly , " Luna Vanya , don't be too upset . This isn't your fault . Alpha Cliff broke his promise . " I was grateful to Jenny . As an Omega , unconditional obedience to the pack's Alpha was her destiny . It was a blood - bound shackle she couldn't resist . Yet , she still showed me concern . I spoke slowly , " Thank you , but I'm not upset ." Jenny was taken aback , seemingly surprised by my response , but she quickly nodded . 1/2 I continued towards the pack's boundary , my thoughts becoming clearer . Since the Moon Goddess gave me a chance to start over , I would try every possible effort to avoid sliding towards that terrible ending again . Even though I had tried to reject Melinda just now , she still stayed . ཨཽའི་ ཡི ཚེ ཁོ Her presence in the Silver Moon Pack would continue to weaken me . I needed to find a way to leave . I desperately needed to garner more support and resources . Only then , once my wolf recovered , would I have the courage to reject Cliff and return to my original pack - the Thunder Pack . The Thunder Pack , once one of the most powerful packs in Seattle , held my childhood memories and family glory . However , I alone knew it had begun to decline . I couldn't stand by and watch it fade under the erosion of time . I had to make an effort to help it regain its former splendor . Lost in turmoil , I unknowingly walked deep into the Shadow Forest . Suddenly , my wolf , Selena , as if drawn by some powerful force , uncontrollably began to shift . I felt a surge of scorching energy within , bones cracking , muscles stretching and transforming . My skin was gradually covered with thick fur , my face protruding forward , mouth lengthening and widening , sharp teeth emerging from the gums . My limbs became strong and robust , claws digging deep into the ground . In moments , I completed the transformation from human to wolf , becoming a snow - white wolf . " Selena , what's wrong ? " I asked in my mind , but there was no response . She just kept running in one direction , as if that force was stronger than our bond . Soon , we arrived at a lakeside where I saw a massive wolf . Its body was like a small mountain , radiating an aura of majesty and mystery . I had never seen such a huge wolf before . Before I could react , the giant wolf lunged at me , its movements swift and precise , clearly intending to subdue me . Its forepaws shot out like lightning , trying to pin my shoulders . I quickly sidestepped , evading the attack . But it immediately turned and rammed into me with its massive body , knocking me back . Unwilling to be subdued , I lowered my body , growling deeply in my throat , trying to intimidate it . However , it showed no sign of retreat , pouncing again . This time , it successfully pinned my back with its forepaws , pressing me to the ground . At the I too Jf the fo- - * < free w 2/2
