Nathan’s handsome face was as cold as an ice sculpture, his wolf eyes glinting with suppressed anger. In the werewolf world, such a display of coldness was a clear warning sign.Humiliation. Utter humiliation. A penniless beggar, or so he thought, dared to reject him, even at the cost of leaving with nothing. In the werewolf hierarchy, rejection from someone of lower status was unheard of, and it stung his pride deeply.Nathan felt a surge of heat rush to his head, his wolf blood boiling with rage. "Isabella, I won’t agree to the divorce," he said, slamming the phone in fury. The force of his anger was so great that it was as if his werewolf strength could break the device.Isabella's attempt to negotiate had failed, leaving her feeling utterly dejected. She curled up in the corner of the sofa, her wolf tail tucked between her legs in a sign of defeat. Pulling out her phone, she posted on various werewolf - exclusive forums: "I want to divorce my cheating husband who has a mistr
Isabella was nibbling on a slice of pizza, her wolf - enhanced senses making her acutely aware of Nathan's every move. Her gaze drifted lightly to Nathan. “You, the young master born with a golden key, eating abalone and bear paws every day—aren’t you enjoying life more than I am? In our werewolf society, your kind flaunts wealth, but is it really that fulfilling?”Nathan: “...” “Can you even compare with me?” Nathan muttered under his breath, his wolf ears twitching slightly in annoyance.Although his voice was soft, it couldn’t mask the arrogance in his tone, which made Isabella frown in displeasure. Her own wolf instincts were on edge, reacting to his dismissive attitude.She shot him a sharp glance, her wolf eyes glinting. “Am I missing a heart? Or maybe a single eye? Nathan, we are both human - well, werewolves, but that doesn’t make you superior. Be kind. We're equal. You are not nobler than I am. In the werewolf code, we're all supposed to be treated with respect.”Nathan f
Nathan was so enraged that his blood surged, and his wolf instincts flared. He stood up, his body practically vibrating with anger, and rushed upstairs, his werewolf speed making his steps thunderous.Victoria followed closely behind him, her own wolf - like curiosity getting the better of her.When they reached the upper floor, they found that Isabella had placed a video speaker at the junction of the hallway, playing a street dance tutorial video. The loud rock music blared through the speakers, filling the air with its aggressive rhythm. In the werewolf world, such loud and chaotic noise was considered a disruption to the peace of the pack.Isabella, dressed in dance attire, was moving awkwardly, with each dance move completely out of sync. It was as if she was deliberately trying to make a mockery of the situation.Nathan's face turned ashen, a clear sign of his fury in the werewolf body language. He walked over and immediately turned off the speaker, his hand clenching into a fis
She examined Isabella with a probing look, her wolf - like eyes trying to sniff out any weakness. "I heard from your sister that you've done well for yourself. Are you now the wife of a rich family? In our werewolf social circles, marrying into wealth can change everything."Isabella’s heart clenched instinctively, every nerve in her body seemingly pulled tight, as though her blood had frozen, and her vitality was slowly draining away. The presence of her mother, with all the painful memories, was like a curse."What brought you here?" she asked, her voice trembling ever so slightly, her werewolf instincts on high alert."You haven’t come to see me for such a long time," her mother began, shifting into her usual mode of complaint. "Bella, I have a terminal illness. I don’t have much time left. Before I die, I want to see you. I tried calling you many times, but you never answered. I sent you messages, but you never replied. Did you forget about me now that you're doing well and have b
"Who will be paying back the borrowed money?" Isabella raised an eyebrow and asked, her wolf - like eyes glinting with suspicion. In the werewolf world, debts were serious matters, and she wasn't about to be caught in a financial trap.Isabella's mother replied as if it were obvious, "You’re my daughter, so of course, it’s you who will pay it back! In our werewolf family, daughters are supposed to take care of their mothers' financial needs."Isabella gritted her teeth and shouted, her wolfish temper flaring. "But I’m not your only daughter! You have a clear preference, and it's not fair."Her mother, angered, snapped back, her own wolf instincts reacting to Isabella's defiance. "Why are you so petty? I didn’t raise your sister, so I can’t ask her for money. Besides, your sister is so frail and has many medical needs, and you can help her share the financial burden. What’s the harm in that? In our werewolf pack, the stronger should support the weaker."Isabella’s body trembled with ra
The pen in Nathan’s hand slipped and clattered onto the desk. His wolf - like instincts were on high alert, and his hackles would have risen if he were in his wolf form.His chest heaved with uneven breaths, and his emotions seemed to shift, growing more agitated. “Who is that man?” he growled, his voice laced with a mix of anger and jealousy.Regardless of whether Isabella had cheated or not, the fact that she was seen walking so closely with another man was enough to make Nathan feel humiliated. In the werewolf world, a mate's infidelity was a serious blow to one's pride.Isabella’s mother replied, “I don’t know his name, but he’s tall, slim, wears sunglasses, and is dressed in a Givenchy suit, with a very expensive diamond watch. He’s very protective of Bella. I only touched her head, and he went wild, pushing me away. It’s clear he cares a lot for her.” Her words were like fuel to the fire of Nathan's anger.Nathan’s face suddenly darkened. His wolf eyes glinted with a dangerous l
But Isabella quickly composed herself, her werewolf instincts kicking in to mask any sign of unease. She nonchalantly changed her shoes, her movements as smooth as a wolf's in the night, before heading upstairs. She walked past Nathan as if he were a mere shadow, not even worthy of her attention.Nathan’s anger surged, his wolf blood boiling. “Isabella, stop!” he growled, his voice echoing through the house, a clear display of his dominance attempt.Isabella paused on the stairs, turned, and looked down at him. Her werewolf eyes glinted in the dim light, showing a hint of defiance.“Is there something you need?”“Where did you go this late? Shouldn’t you explain yourself?” Nathan questioned, his wolf ears perked up, trying to catch any hint of deception in her answer.Isabella furrowed her brows. “I remember you saying earlier today that we should live our separate lives and not interfere with each other. So, where I go doesn’t seem to be your concern, does it? In our werewolf - like
This dress—whether it was the size, the style, or even the potential chemical hazards from the new fabric—had clearly been carefully considered by Nathan. The price was undoubtedly astronomical. In the werewolf - rich social circles, such expensive and well - thought - out gifts were a way to show status.Why had he suddenly changed his mind and let her replace Victoria to attend tonight’s gathering? The werewolf pack's social events were always full of political intrigue.The Hill family maid also felt awkward and sympathetically comforted Isabella. “Madam, would you like us to try another store?”Isabella waved her hand dismissively and walked into the luxurious boutique where Victoria was. Her werewolf pride wouldn't let her back down.Victoria looked up at her in surprise. Then, she began to nonchalantly flaunt her dress. In the werewolf world, showing off wealth and status was a common display of dominance.“Bella, do you like this dress? Isn’t it beautiful?”Isabella responded c
In the werewolf - centered world, where status was often displayed through appearances just like a wolf's coat showed its health and strength, the clothes designed by Victoria for Nathan were mostly intended for work and formal occasions, making them highly functional but also quite monotonous. The majority of his outfits were suits in traditional, somber shades like black, white, and gray, much like a wolf in a uniform, blending into the background.These suits fit Nathan perfectly and showcased his charm as a man, like a well - groomed wolf standing out in the pack. However, after Nathan joined the reality show, with long recording hours and frequent appearances, such a repetitive wardrobe began to tire the audience. And the entertainment industry was never short of beauty, nor was it lacking in viewers who were picky about aesthetics, much like a wolf pack that quickly grew tired of a lackluster display.Soon, Nathan's popularity was overshadowed by Theo, as if a we
In the werewolf - centered world, where status and power were as crucial as a wolf's position in the pack, when the reality show team extended an olive branch to Nathan, he no longer displayed the arrogance he once had, like a once - proud alpha wolf now humbled. Though he was deeply reluctant, he grit his teeth and agreed to join, knowing he had to fight for his place in the new social landscape.The producer eagerly promised him, “Young Master, all the guests on this show are rich heirs. By showcasing your daily life, we aim to inspire the youth to pursue wealth. You’re one of our key focus guests. As long as you perform well, with your image, you'll definitely become a big star. In the werewolf - centered promise - of - fame and success, this is the producer's pitch.”Nathan crumpled the invitation in his hand but kept his expression neutral, like a wolf hiding its true emotions. “I understand. I’ll join the group on time.”The producer smiled and left.
In the werewolf - centered world, where the pack's social order was as complex as a web of territorial boundaries, outside the hospital room, Victoria leaned weakly against the wall, her heart sinking as she overheard Mrs. Hill's demeaning words about her, like a low - ranking wolf being scorned by the alpha female. A bitter sadness washed over her.Was she really inferior to her sister in every way?She strained her ears, hoping to hear Nathan defend her, but for a long while, there was no response from him, as if the beta wolf was too weak to stand up for his mate against the alpha's wrath.Fear crept into Victoria’s heart. She was afraid that Nathan, soft - hearted as he was, might actually believe his mother’s words and start thinking that his ex - wife was the better choice, like a wolf doubting its current packmate in the face of the alpha's influence.Unable to bear the tension any longer, Victoria pushed the door open and entered the room, like a
In the werewolf - centered world, where family hierarchies were as rigid as the alpha's rule in a pack, when Mrs. Hill saw the couple rings on Victoria and Nathan's hands, her suspicions were immediately confirmed, like a wolf detecting a threat to its pack's purity.She went wild with anger and slapped Victoria across the face. “How dare you marry my son behind my back, Victoria? I really underestimated you. In the werewolf - centered over - protective - mother - outburst and territorial - claim, this is her fury.”Thea stepped back, adopting the stance of a bystander, ready to watch the drama unfold, like a wolf observing a power struggle from the sidelines.The slap made Victoria dizzy, her body spinning in place like a willow in the wind before she collapsed into Nathan’s arms, like a weak wolf seeking protection.“Nathan…” Victoria cupped her swollen face, her tears flowing like pearls from a broken string, creating a pitiful scene, much like a wound
In the werewolf - centered world, where the bonds of family and love were as changeable as the phases of the moon, Thea was genuinely surprised. After being cast out by both her birth family and her marriage, like a lone wolf expelled from its pack, she never imagined anyone would still care about her. This intrigued her, and she was curious about the person who reached out to her, much like a wolf sensing an unfamiliar presence in its territory. “Give me the address, I’ll come right over.”Under the fates’ design, as if guided by some unseen force in the werewolf - centered universe.When Thea arrived at the bar, it was already midnight.The bar was nearly empty, with only a few disheveled figures slumped over the tables, like weary wolves resting after a long hunt.After scanning the room, Thea didn’t spot anyone familiar, and she frowned in confusion, her wolfish instincts on high alert.At that moment, a waiter approached and gave her a soft sm
In the werewolf - centered world, where family bonds were as complex as a thicket in a moon - lit forest, Thea finally stood up from the recliner and walked to Madam Moore’s side. The grievances and frustrations she once held, like the howls of a caged wolf longing for freedom, seemed to have dissipated, leaving only a calm, almost indifferent demeanor, much like a wolf that has accepted its fate."Before yesterday, I still had some lingering feelings for you. But after yesterday, our mother - daughter bond has come to an end. You’re a smart woman, so you should understand what I mean. Why continue to force a relationship that’s already been torn apart? In the werewolf - centered family - bond - severance - declaration and rational - question, this is her statement." Madam Moore understood exactly what Thea was implying.Thea had heard that Madam Moore was ill, and had rushed to her side immediately out of filial duty, like a loyal packmate rushing to the
In the werewolf - centered world, where the power dynamics were as fierce as a pack's territorial disputes, Theo’s thin lips curled into a slight smile, the danger in his expression unmistakable, much like a wolf baring its teeth in a show of dominance. "I always thought Thea was an orphan. Turns out her parents are still alive... Well, if that's the case, Mr. Joe, why don’t you help her pay off the huge debt she owes me? In the werewolf - centered strategic - debt - claim and pressure - application, this is his demand." Master Moore stood there, stunned, completely dumbfounded, as if a weaker wolf facing an unexpected challenge from a powerful alpha.Theo continued to press: "The debt of a child is the responsibility of the father, Mr. Joe. You won’t deny that, right? In the werewolf - centered family - debt - responsibility - assertion and challenge, this is his statement." Victoria whispered to Master Moore, "Dad, Isabella owes
In the werewolf - centered world, where family bonds were as tenuous as a lone wolf's hold on its territory, Thea walked upstairs and stood in front of Master Moore. With a solemn expression, she corrected him, "I’ve changed my name. I’m no longer Isabella; my name is Thea. In the werewolf - centered identity - reclamation and break - from - past, this is her statement." Master Moore seemed deeply insulted. Anger contorted his face as he reached out and gripped Thea’s neck, almost mad with fury. "You’ve forgotten what your ancestors’ surname is? Isabella, if I had known you were this rebellious, I should’ve thrown you into the cesspool the moment you were born! In the werewolf - centered anger - and - rejection - of - change, this is his outburst." "You can strangle me now; it’s not too late," Thea gasped, but still retained her proud demeanor, despite the difficulty in breathing, like a wolf refusing to submit. &
In the werewolf - centered world, where the power dynamics and family bonds were as complex as a thick forest at night, Victoria had never seen Nathan so dejected. It was as though the once - proud heir, much like a powerful alpha wolf that had lost its pack, had fallen from the heavens, shattered into pieces like a puppet with no strings, entirely devoid of spirit. "Nathan, what will happen to your company?" Victoria asked with concern, her voice carrying the worry of a wolf cub for its leader. Nathan, who had once been so confident at the business table, was now utterly dispirited. "If Isabella doesn't withdraw from this competition, I will most likely lose. In the werewolf - centered business - defeat - prediction and vulnerability - admission, this is his lament." Victoria’s face turned as pale as a ghost. If Nathan lost, it meant their relationship would fall apart too, just as a pack breaks up when its alpha is defe
