No Ads Chapter 4 Vanya's POV " Luna Vanya ! Are you here ? " Elliot's voice echoed on the outskirts of the Shadow Forest . I regained control of my body and sprinted towards the sound . ཌ ཌ ཚ But my mind was filled with confusion about the giant wolf I had just encountered . Who was it , and why did it appear here ? After running for a while , I saw Elliot's figure . I slowed my pace and stopped behind a giant tree trunk to shift back into my human form . The process was more difficult than usual . It felt as if the forces within me had been tearing at each other . Selena seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber , unresponsive to my attempts to rouse her . I dressed casually , and Beta Elliot arrived just in time . He scrutinized me carefully to ensure I was unharmed before gently adjusting my clothes . Then , he squatted down to help me put on my shoes with care and skill . His eyes were always filled with a hint of concern . " Did you shift ? What did you do in the Shadow Forest ? " he asked softly . His gaze fixed on me , as if trying to decipher my true thoughts . " I sensed a strange presence in the Shadow Forest . The situation between packs is already unstable . Any little disturbance could trigger a greater crisis , " I replied . I omitted the information about the giant wolf . Its appearance was too suspicious , and I vaguely felt it had something to do with me . Elliot nodded slightly , his brows still furrowed . " You're right . I'll arrange more patrols immediately to strengthen the border and forest surveillance . But you must be extra careful . I know Alpha Cliff's decision has put you in a very difficult position , but don't do anything drastic . " I looked at him with some surprise . Before my rebirth , when I was in trouble , he didn't join others in kicking me when I was down , but he never expressed such direct support for me either . Back then , I felt abandoned by the world , struggling alone in the dark . Now , Elliot showed his sympathy for me clearly . " Don't worry , " I nodded in response . I turned and walked back towards the pack . Upon returning , I went straight to the bedroom Cliff and I shared . Pushing the door open , the room was filled with a familiar yet strange scent . Chif wasn't there , and I felt no emotional ripples . The love I once had for him had long been eroded by his betrayal . I slowly approached the vanity table , sat down , and looked at myself in the mirror . My eyes showed fatigue and determination . 1/3 P P Chapter 4 Unbidden , my thoughts drifted back to my past life , the painful memories flooding back like a tide . But I was no longer that helpless me . This time , I would change my destiny . In the evening , after freshening up , I prepared to lie down and rest . At that moment , the door was suddenly pushed open , and Cliff walked in . He glanced at me and headed straight for the bed , seemingly intending to rest as usual . I frowned and said coldly . " What are you doing ? Get out . " Cliff looked at me impatiently , " What's the matter with you ? This is my room , our room . " I stared at him expressionlessly , " Your room ? From the moment you decided to keep Melinda , you were no longer welcome here . " His eyes widened in surprise , as if he couldn't believe I would say such a thing . In his impression , I had always been a gentle and compliant partner . Vanya , I've already explained to you . I just need Melinda to stay to stabilize my wolf . It's for the sake of the entire pack . You must understand me ," he said with a hint of helplessness in his tone . I waved my hand indifferently , " Whatever you say , I don't want to hear it . Do whatever you want ." Cliff took a step forward and continued , " After Melinda has learned for a while , I will find a suitable pack for her and send her away from Seattle . Just bear with it a little longer . " I said nonchalantly , " Got it , you can leave . " " Luna Vanya ! " Cliff called my title impatiently , his voice carrying a hint of threat and warning . I could clearly sense him exerting his Alpha aura . But my wolf had no intention of submitting . " Do you want to fully unleash your Alpha aura on your Luna here ? " I asked with a cold smile . His face turned a bit ugly , clearly angered by my attitude . He glared at me fiercely before turning and leaving the room , slamming the door shut . I looked at the closed door , immediately picked up my phone , and dialed Theodore Kimmons . Currently , he was just an ordinary werewolf who ran a medium - sized company . But I knew he was actually the illegitimate son of the Lycan King . However , this secret had not yet been revealed . Soon , a deep voice came from the other end of the phone , " Hello ? " " Theodore , it's me , Vanya , " I said . He was obviously surprised , " Why are you contacting me ? I don't remember us being friends . " I took a deep breath and said slowly , " I need your help now There was a moment of silence on the other end , followed by Theodore's curious voice , " You must be joking . What help can I offer you ? " I replied calmly . " I hope you can give me an invitation to the pack gathering in a few days . It's very important to me ." I waved my hand quickly , smiling , " Don't say that . You're Cliff's … friend , which makes you our pack's guest . " I deliberately paused on the word " friend , observing her reaction . P P · Chapter 4 Melinda's face flickered with a change , but she quickly composed herself . She whispered . " Luna Vanya , you are truly magnanimous ." In my past life , Melinda used my aversion to her to pretend to be a sweet girl who In contrast , I was portrayed as a cruel , cold queen . This time , I chose to change my approach . I went to Maggie's house . was bullied . " Maggie greeted me , smiling , " Vanya , I've had these dresses custom - made for your figure.Come and take a look ." I was filled with gratitude and went over to touch the beautiful fabrics . I casually picked up a bright red evening gown and said to Jenny , " I'll wear this one ." Jenny was taken aback and hesitated , " But … when the tailor came to make clothes for Melinda this afternoon , I noticed Alpha Cliff seems to prefer white dresses … " I'll take this one , " I said indifferently ." Return all those white dresses.I don't like them . " I put on the evening gown and stood in front of the mirror , examining myself carefully . It was a burgundy mermaid dress that clung to my body , perfectly outlining my figure , like a rose blooming in the night , radiating a charming allure . Jenny said in delight , " Alpha will definitely change his mind . " I smiled but didn't say anything . I was going to the banquet not for Cliff , but for that thing . 3/8
