Vanya's POV

My heart skipped a beat. I hadn't detected any amusement in Edwin's eyes.

My initial approach to Wilmot was always driven by his status and future prospects.

Such a motive couldn't even be hidden from Wilmot, let alone Edwin.

I recalled how Edwin had dealt with that flamboyant woman just now—right in front of me. It was clearly a warning.

My heartbeat quickened involuntarily, but I maintained a calm facade and said, "Just classmates, not particularly close."

Edwin let out a soft chuckle and said, "The wind up here is rather strong. Miss Dalton, it's better if you don't come up. Wilmot is downstairs. You two can have a chat."

I couldn't fathom Edwin's intentions, but one thing was clear—he didn't want me near this terrace.

Naturally, I wouldn't oppose him. After a polite nod, I headed downstairs.

When I reached the bottom, I saw Wilmot drinking alone at the stairway entrance.

Upon seeing me

    Vanya's POVI knew that only by leaving with Cliff could the two packs remain unscathed, and I could secure their future protection.At this thought, a chill ran down my spine, and a deep sense of unease washed over me.Edwin's mind was incredibly meticulous. Every move seemed meticulously planned, which was truly terrifying.He was like a wolf lurking in the shadows, always ready to strike with a fatal blow, catching everyone off guard.After a moment of silence, I said, "Thank you, Mr. Hammond. It's getting late, and I'll leave with Alpha Cliff now. I apologize for any rudeness today and will come to make amends another day."Edwin lowered his eyelids. After a while, he raised a hand in a gesture.The bodyguards stepped aside, and Cliff's grip on my arm tightened even more as he turned to leave.I keenly noticed that outside the Hammond family's door, Cliff had also brought his own people.If I had chosen to stay just now, Cliff's men might have stormed the hall without hesitation.

    Cliff's POVThe next day, as the first hint of dawn began to lighten the sky, the faint morning light filtered through the windows and spilled into the living room.I leaned against the sofa, having not slept a wink all night, feeling waves of exhaustion wash over me.After last night's chaos, my nerves were still taut. My mind was a jumbled mess of conflicting thoughts.At that moment, I saw Vanya coming downstairs, carrying some toiletries, apparently planning to head back to her apartment early in the morning.The moment I saw her, my nerves tightened like a bowstring about to snap, and I tensed up instantly.I quickly stood up and took a few steps forward to block her path. My tone softened involuntarily, tinged with caution, "Where are you going?""Back to my apartment," Vanya replied coldly, her eyes distant and resolute, as if I were a complete stranger.Her voice was soft, but it struck my heart like a heavy hammer.Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, wanting t

    Vanya's POV"Vanya! Are you just going to let him bully you like this? What's so good about a man like him? You're really going to drive me crazy!""Don't worry, if he hurts me, he'll definitely try to compensate somehow. I won't be the one at a disadvantage," I said."You..." Grace was at a loss for words.I comforted her, "I'm not that bad off. You're angrier than I am."Grace suddenly said, "My mom was killed by Forrest Gilbert years ago."I was taken aback for a moment.Grace's eyes turned red as she held back her anger. "That's why I took over Forrest's company. Forrest has to pay for my mom's death. Men who hit their wives are all bastards!"I tightly held Grace's hand.She sniffed and tried to sound casual, "It's all in the past."Yes, although time moves on, those painful experiences are real and can't be easily let go of.The car pulled up to the entrance of Wolfe. Grace accompanied me inside to ha

    Cliff's POVVanya was taken aback. I draped the jacket over Melinda's shoulders, looked at Vanya, and said coldly, "I've said it before, Melinda and I have never crossed any boundaries."In truth, I was aware that my recent interactions with Melinda had been somewhat frequent, and it was understandable that Vanya would be upset.But I always felt I had a clear conscience. I was merely supporting Melinda. After all, she was alone at school, and she was my true mate."Crossed boundaries? What exactly counts as crossing boundaries?" Vanya let out a soft laugh. "The one who accompanies you to various galas is Melinda. When she falls ill, one phone call and you rush over. For her, you've repeatedly embarrassed me, your wife, in front of everyone."With each word Vanya spoke, my expression darkened.I knew that I had been negligent. I had been so focused on helping Melinda that I hadn't considered Vanya's feelings. But I truly hadn't meant to emba

    Cliff's POV"Apparently, the principal investigated the matter after the incident. It was a girl named Raven who did it. This girl happens to be a good friend of Miss Coleman," Elliot said.I furrowed my brows. This was becoming increasingly suspicious. If Melinda's friend was involved in this, could Melinda really be completely unaware?My trust in Melinda was beginning to waver.Elliot continued, "Alpha Cliff, perhaps this matter is related to Miss Coleman. Should we continue the investigation?"I rubbed my temples.Vanya had been defamed and bullied, yet she hadn't mentioned a word of it to me.Did that mean I was so unimportant to her?My heart was filled with a mix of emotions. I felt heartbroken for Vanya's ordeal, guilty for my own negligence. My attitude towards Melinda was also changing as I began to re-evaluate her role in these incidents."Since the principal has already investigated, there's no need to dig fu

    Vanya's POVI already figured it out. The worst that could happen is Cliff spilling that I went to Wolfe.I don't care. If that's what it takes, I'll just cut ties with him early."I just don't get it. What's so great about a college girl? Vanya's prettier and better than her. Are you blind? How could you turn out like this?""Grandma, it's my fault. It's not Melinda's. Don't take it out on her.""You!" Veronica shot up from the couch, her presence swelling like a storm.The pressure she exuded was like a tidal wave, freezing the air around her.As the former Luna of the Silver Moon Pack, even regular werewolves would tremble in her fury."I didn't want to meddle, but with your attitude... don't blame me for being ruthless!" She turned to Elliot and barked, her voice dripping with authority."Get on the phone with Wolfe right now and get that girl, Melinda, kicked out. If Cliff keeps seeing her, I'll use every connection

    Vanya's POVCliff was quiet for a moment. His eyes grew complicated, like he was thinking something through. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "I'll handle it.""No need," I said, turning to leave."Why didn't you tell me about the rumors at school?" he asked.My steps faltered for a second, like I'd heard a joke. "Tell you?" I scoffed, my voice dripping with sarcasm. Cliff frowned and said, "If you had told me, I would've definitely...""If I told you that Melinda was the one spreading the rumors, would you have believed me?" I cut him off.Cliff paused. "I've already talked to Melinda. She didn't do it."I let out a cold laugh. "So there's nothing to talk about," I said. At the end of the day, Cliff just blindly trusted Melinda.I turned to leave again, but Cliff grabbed my arm. His face darkened. "Are you saying I'm favoring Melinda?""Whether you're favoring her or not, you know the answer," I shot back."Why

    Vanya's POVElmer Dalton, who had been quiet until now, saw Aldridge getting angry at Mirabel and immediately stepped up to protect her.He exuded an aura of hostility.In the werewolf world, this kind of aura was a warning to rivals, signaling that he was ready to fight to protect the person behind him.His eyes bulged as he roared, "Dad! Mom's right! Vanya is the daughter of the former Alpha of the Thunder Pack. They've raised her for years, and it's time she did something for the pack! She's enjoyed the family's resources. It's only fair she contributes to the pack's interests. It's her duty!"His voice was hoarse with anger. He looked at me like I was his sworn enemy."Shut up!" Aldridge bellowed at Elmer. His voice thundered through the hall, carrying the weight of an Alpha's authority.Elmer flinched, and though he was not willing, he didn't dare say another word.Defying an Alpha's command was serious business.Al

The room was filled with steam and a faint, sweet scent.The smell was oddly familiar to Cliff, as if he had encountered it before.But Melinda didn't give Cliff time to think. She threw herself into his arms. Feeling the smooth skin and the warm touch, Cliff shuddered and tried to push Melinda away.However, Melinda wrapped her arms around his neck. Her face was flushed with a hint of red. Her eyes were filled with desire."Alpha Cliff... I really can't live without you. Don't you like me?" Melinda's voice was unusually soft and seductive.Cliff felt an unfamiliar sensation rising within him. Just a gentle touch was enough to ignite the desire he had been suppressing."Cliff, look at me. You used to care for me the most," Melinda said, standing on her tiptoes and placing a kiss on the edge of Cliff's lips.She then teasingly ran her tongue along his lips, a mo

There are no cameras around here."Vanya frowned and asked, "Don't you have to go for a photoshoot?""I've finished for today, but I'll probably be around for the next few days. I still have some ads to shoot," Calvert replied."Then go ahead and get busy. I'll do the same," Vanya said, preparing to leave.But Calvert stopped her, placing the takeout bento in her hand. "It's from my grandma.""Mine?" Vanya asked, surprised.Calvert added, "She made it specially for you."Ever since Vanya had visited Calvert's home last time, his grandmother had taken a liking to her.Vanya accepted it with a bit of embarrassment. After all, it was Grandma Sutton's kind gesture."Tell her thank you for me," Vanya said, patting Calvert's shoulder as she left."Keep up the good work! Your future is bright."Calvert watched Vanya's r

    Vanya's POVGrace noticed my thoughtful expression and asked, "Did Cliff suspect you when you went back to the Silver Moon Packhouse today?""He did suspect me, but... it wasn't quite what I expected," I replied."What do you mean 'not quite what you expected'? Isn't suspicion just suspicion?" Grace hugged a pillow, her curiosity piqued as she waited for me to explain.I said, "He gave me a ring today and said... he likes me."After I finished, Grace was stunned. "Cliff?""Yes," I confirmed."This feels like something my silly brother Theo would do," Grace said, looking puzzled.I rested my chin on my hand and thought carefully before saying, "Cliff probably likes Melinda. He's saying this because of M Group. Right now, the Todd Group can't afford any more scandals. He wants to keep me stable. As long as we don't divorce or cause trouble during this period, he can avoid a lot of headaches."I repeated to myself, as if tr

    Vanya's POV"Enough! Cliff, bickering with a woman like this isn't like you. What do you really want by calling me back? Don't tell me it's because you're jealous that I was at Wilmot's birthday. I won't believe such a ridiculous thing coming out of your mouth," I said.Cliff opened his mouth but couldn't find any words."About Melinda, I was wrong about you," Cliff suddenly said.I thought I had misheard."Are you... apologizing to me?"Cliff's expression froze.I looked at him and asked again, "You didn't call me back just to apologize, did you?"Cliff was silent."I knew it was for the apology," I couldn't help but say."Vanya, you..." Cliff's face turned a bit sour.He was used to being in control and having others submit to him. Admitting he was wrong was a big step for him.Cliff tried to stay calm and said, "I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have accused you. But Melinda didn't deserve to go

    Vanya's POV"Sorry, Mr. Hammond, but Alpha Cliff sent me to bring Luna Vanya home," Elliot said, looking at me. "Luna Vanya, Alpha Cliff is very concerned about you. Please come back with us.""What if I don't want to go back?" I asked.Elliot paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'm afraid we'll have to insist."The bodyguards behind Elliot immediately stepped forward. Wilmot tightly shielded me, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here!"I wasn't actually scared. I knew that even if Elliot couldn't take me away, he wouldn't dare cause a scene at the Hammond residence.However, the fact that the Todd family could so easily enter the Hammond residence was quite surprising.It seemed that Cliff's position as the top businessman in Los Angeles was well-deserved.If things really escalated, no one would come out unscathed."Wait." I gently patted Wilmot's back and stepped in front of him. "Today is Wilmot's birthday party. Bringing

    Vanya's POVGrace, holding the skirt of her Lolita dress, ran over and said, "Wilmot's been looking for you everywhere. He's frantic. You should change out of that costume quickly. We'll head back soon!""Alright," I replied, thinking to myself that Cliff would probably send Elliot to find me any minute now.I glanced at Theodore one last time before following Grace back to the dressing room.After quickly changing and removing my makeup, I followed Grace out of the dressing room, only to bump into Wilmot, who had come to find me."What are you two doing here?" Wilmot frowned. "I couldn't find you after we entered. Where did you go?""I suddenly needed to use the restroom," I said, using the first excuse that came to mind.Hearing this, Wilmot's face seemed to flush slightly.He turned his head and said, "Let's go. There's nothing fun here anymore.""Good! Let's get out of here. I don't think there's anything fun here ei

    Third Person's POV"Unsure?" Vanya turned around in surprise at Theodore's words and said, "If he doesn't come today, then all my efforts would be in vain.""Whether he comes or not doesn't matter. As long as he knows that the M Group's masked ball is packed with guests, that's enough," Theodore replied.Vanya sensed a hint of jealousy in his tone."That's true...""But you just want to annoy him, don't you?"Vanya couldn't deny it, but she wasn't that naive."If he comes and sees that Kendrick doesn't look anything like me, he won't suspect me anymore," she said.To create the Kendrick persona, she had put in a lot of effort. This time, she planned to wear flats, don a clown outfit, and appear in front of Cliff, making him completely drop his suspicions about her."Vanya? Vanya? Are you ready?" Grace's voice called from outside the door.Vanya, now dressed as a clown, opened the door to see Grace in a Lolita outf

    Vanya's POVIn the afternoon, the Hammond family's lobby was decorated exceptionally lively.Wilmot usually surrounded himself with friends who were more like troublemakers, rarely hosting a proper birthday party.Tonight, many rich second-generation heirs and socialites had shown up, but Wilmot was completely uninterested in them.These people had simply heard that the second son of the Hammond family was celebrating his birthday and had brought gifts to get close. In reality, Wilmot couldn't even remember most of their names.I sat to one side, occasionally glancing at the clock.The masked ball had already started, and I was racking my brain for a good excuse to take Wilmot away.Just then, Edwin's personal bodyguard approached us."Alpha Edwin says there's a masked ball tonight.

He must have just finished his morning exercise.His bright red hair was particularly eye-catching, and I spotted him from far away."Up so early. Have you had breakfast yet?" he asked."Not yet," I replied, pointing to the people going in and out of the second-floor study. "Is it always like this at your place every morning?""Not usually. Things have just been busier lately," Wilmot said, taking my hand. "Come on, let's go eat.""Grace hasn't woken up yet. I should wake her up," I said."No need. Grace loves to sleep in. I'll have them make it when she gets up." Wilmot insisted.I was about to agree when he added, "Besides, Edwin should be eating too. His private chef is really good.""N-no, that's okay," I tried to decline, but Wilmot said, "What's there to be afraid of? We're all family here!"I reluctantly followed Wilmot to t
