Vanya's POV

"I have a clear understanding of who Theodore is, and I don't need you guys to interfere," I said coldly.

"I..." Melinda bit her lip, looking hurt.

Cliff, however, spoke sternly, "Melinda is looking out for you. Don't be ungrateful and get involved with people you shouldn't."

Melinda tugged at Cliff's sleeve, seemingly blaming him for being too harsh.

Watching this scene, I sneered inwardly.

Anyone unaware of the situation might genuinely think Melinda was his wife.

"In any case, you should stay away from Theodore. You're a pride of the heavens, and he is a barbarian without manners. How could you possibly have any connection with him!"

"Bang!" Suddenly, the sound of a cane striking the floor echoed from not far away.

Everyone turned to look and saw a white-haired older man standing in the center of the lobby.

I glanced back and felt a strong sense of familiarity with this old man.

It took me a moment to recall, but I recognized him as the old gardener who had been arrangi

    Vanya's POVTheir conversation continued, with Melinda standing awkwardly by, as if she were not there.Once Mr. Winston left, Melinda tugged at Cliff's sleeve, "Alpha Cliff, I want to leave."Cliff glanced at the sky and said, "I'll see you home."Melinda asked again, "What about Luna Vanya?"My wolf's hearing is sharp, so I caught that, but I didn't care.I was chatting with Mr. Winston at the moment.Cliff replied indifferently, "She can find her own way back."I slightly turned my head to see Melinda's eyes filled with jealousy directed at me.She must have been wondering why Mr. Winston favored me.Soon, I watched Cliff and Melinda leave the club one after the other.Elliot approached me and whispered, "Alpha Cliff has taken Ms. Coleman home.""I see," I responded calmly.Elliot looked at me in surprise. He probably expected me to cry and make a scene, but instead, I was composed.Theodore, witnessing this, asked, "Cliff is taking someone home?"I didn't feel embarrassed and said

    Third Person's POVOn the other end of the phone, Cliff's brows furrowed deeply.His voice carried a hint of confusion and unease, "Vanya?""Want to save your Luna? Bring five million dollars to trade!"The voice on the other end was cold and resolute, exuding an undeniable sense of coercion.Cliff's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.But before he could respond, the caller hung up, leaving only a busy signal echoing in his ear.His wolf growled in his mind, and through his wolf, he could sense that Vanya was indeed in trouble."Alpha Cliff, what's wrong?" Melinda, sitting beside him, noticed the change in Cliff's expression keenly.She turned her head, her eyes fixed on Cliff, her gaze filled with confusion and a hint of suspicion and inquiry, as if guessing whether the call was related to her.Cliff almost spat out the words from between his teeth, "Back to the pack!"His face was so dark it seemed like a storm was imminent.The pack guard driving was taken aback by his sud

    Theodore's POVJasper's voice trembled violently, like a leaf in the wind. His body shook uncontrollably in my grasp, as if my sudden action had terrified him out of his wits.The unease in my heart grew stronger, and the force in my hands unconsciously increased as I pressed, "Who exactly did you kidnap?""The daughter of the former Alpha of the Thunder Pack, Vanya. It's because she snatched the obsidian rough we could have easily obtained at a low price that I resorted to this..."Before he could finish his sentence, my anger erupted like a lit powder keg. I lifted my foot and kicked him in the chest with all my might.Jasper's body flew backward several meters like a broken kite, slamming into the ground and raising a cloud of dust.I struggled to suppress my wolf and shouted at him, "Where is she?"Jasper was already terrified, mumbling incoherently.Derrick grabbed him by the collar, his wolf fangs protruding from his gums, releasing the powerful aura of an Alpha.Jasper's legs b

    Melinda's POV"What bomb?" Cliff's body tensed instantly, his voice carrying a tremor of tension.I was also startled, my first instinct being to get away from here as quickly as possible.But the three men in front of me clearly had no such intention."There's a bomb in the building. Derrick and I will look for the bomb, and you find Vanya. Once you find her, evacuate immediately," Theodore said swiftly.Jasper, tied up on the ground, stammered, "It's... it's useless. I told them to plant three bombs in each building to completely destroy the evidence, and they'll detonate in fifteen minutes...""What are you saying?! Such important information and you only tell us now!" Derrick rushed over, grabbing Jasper's collar as if he wanted to tear him apart.Jasper, already beaten to a pulp. He didn't dare to raise his head, curling into a ball."There's no time to defuse the bomb, go find Vanya!" Theodore finished, dashing into the abandoned building filled with unknown dangers like an arro

    Vanya's POVDesperate, I used my head to hit the nearby pillar, each impact sending a piercing pain through me.But I ignored it. I was just hoping Cliff and the others could hear the noise and come to rescue me.At the same time, I called out to my wolf in my mind."Selena, are you there? Can you take over my body?" I wanted to shift to break free from the ropes and escape."These ropes are made of a special material. If I forcefully take over your body, we might break bones," Selena's voice echoed in my mind.My heart sank.Soon, I heard the sound of footsteps.The sound made me pause. It wasn't the heavy and steady sound of men's leather shoes on the ground but the crisp tapping of high heels.I looked up with difficulty and was surprised to see Melinda walking towards me.Her expression was somewhat gloomy.'How did she get here?' I wondered.She must be here with Cliff.Seeing her gloomy face, I instantly recalled her behavior from my past life.She wasn't here to save me.Accord

    Theodore's POVAs soon as I heard Cliff's voice, Derrick and I immediately turned around.We headed downstairs quickly.Derrick asked, "What about Jasper?"I replied coldly, "Leave him here."Derrick shook his head, "Well."At that moment, my wolf suddenly issued a warning in my mind.I didn't understand its meaning but ran in the direction it guided.And there, I found Vanya collapsed in the corridor.She just left there.She was injured! Why didn't she ask for help?"Hold on tight," I reminded her.Vanya didn't speak but hugged me tighter."Hurry! The bomb is about to detonate!"Derrick shouted. I clutched Vanya and sprinted out of the unfinished building just in time.An explosion rocked the building, flames filling the sky.Vanya watched the fiery blast, her face pale with fear.Indeed, had I not brought her along, she might have been in danger."Get in the car!" I told Derrick.With that, I placed Vanya in the back seat and prepared to join her when I noticed Cliff's car not far

    Vanya's POVStepping into the Packhouse living room, I saw Cliff sitting on the sofa, tending to Melinda's wounds intently.As soon as I appeared, Melinda jumped up like a startled fawn, her expression flustered as she explained, "Luna Vanya, Alpha Cliff just saw that I was injured and wanted to help bandage me..."However, she was abruptly cut off by Cliff's cold voice, "There's no need to explain."Hearing Cliff's words, Melinda quickly lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.She snuggled up beside him, looking exactly like a frightened little rabbit seeking shelter.Witnessing Cliff's indifferent gaze, which mirrored my past memories, felt like my heart was plunged into an icy abyss.The gratitude I had felt towards him vanished.It seemed he had never truly cared about my feelings."I'm very tired."I said, not wanting to linger in the suffocating atmosphere any longer. I turned and headed towards the stairs.My thoughts had already moved past the entanglement betwee

    Vanya's POVMelinda's face turned extremely embarrassed in an instant, as if a dark cloud had covered the originally bright sunshine.I could deeply feel her inner panic and helplessness at this moment.She wanted to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for Cliff, but she never expected Veronica to come so early, turning all her careful preparations into nothing.Before she had time to defend herself, Veronica saw through her petty thoughts keenly."Mrs. Todd, I... I really just wanted to make breakfast to thank Luna Vanya and Alpha Cliff, I have no other thoughts at all," Melinda explained anxiously.Her voice trembled slightly, like a frightened little animal desperately seeking refuge.I quietly watched Melinda's somewhat embarrassed appearance.I was very clear that with her current experience and means, she was too naive and simple in front of Veronica, the former Luna who had experienced countless storms and was wise and profound.Veronica had lived for so many years and had witnessed

    Vanya's POV"What did I do?" Derrick paused, clearly not following."About the principal's matter," I directly pointed out the key issue.Derrick thought for a moment and replied, "Probably Theodore did it.""Would Theodore bother with this kind of thing?" I was surprised, suddenly recalling the scene of Melinda and her two companions downstairs of my apartment that day.Upon reflection, it really could have been Theodore's doing.However, another question quickly replaced the doubt in my mind. "Are you so broke that you have to eat here?"This affordable cafeteria of Wolfe didn't seem like a place Derrick would frequent."Save where you can," Derrick responded.I inwardly scoffed, "What a joke!"Derrick kept his company's lights on all night.Who would believe him?I invited Derrick to sit and dine together, then asked, "What was Theodore's intention by involving the principal?""There's a sa

    Third Person's POVMelinda's spine stiffened instantly, and she slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with restraint and unease.She stammered, "Yes... yes.""Are you from room 317?" the principal asked.Melinda nodded, wondering why the question was being asked."Is Raven from your dormitory?""...Yes, she is," Melinda glanced at Raven not far away, a hint of barely noticeable panic flashing in her eyes.Raven was taken aback, and the principal's gaze followed suit."Are you Raven?"Raven's body tensed, nodding stiffly, her heart lifting with a sense of foreboding.The principal looked down at the complaint letter in her hand, her expression grave as she said, "We received a report that you fabricated false information and spread it within the school, severely damaging the campus atmosphere and infringing upon a female student's right to reputation." She then placed a flyer with a photoshopped image of Vanya in

Get up and come with me."Fawn forcefully pulled me away, and I dared not meet Vanya's eyes.I feared seeing through my disguise in her sharp gaze.There, Fawn tugged at me, her face full of confusion as she asked, "Melinda, why did you just kneel to her?""I, I just... I was afraid she would cause trouble for you, so I wanted to talk to her privately," I feigned an extremely aggrieved look, hoping to dispel Fawn's doubts."Melinda, you... you're not deceiving us, are you?" Her eyes still held a trace of suspicion.I felt my face freeze for a moment, but quickly recovered.I said with a sense of grievance, "Fawn, how could I possibly deceive you? Why would you suddenly ask me that?"My heart was pounding with anxiety, terrified she would see through my ruse.Fawn sai

    Vanya's POVI stood atop the high-rise of the building, quietly watching the backs of Melinda and her two companions as they gradually faded into the distance.At that moment, the security guard called me, inquiring, "Ms. Dalton, three people just arrived at the entrance, claiming to be your friends. Should I allow them in?""No, and if they come again in the future, get them away," I responded decisively."I see, Ms. Dalton."After hanging up the phone, I heard Theodore's steady voice from inside the room, "Just let them go like that?""What else can we do? Engage in a heated argument downstairs?" I shrugged.I was truly unwilling to waste my time on such boring people.I was also quite puzzled. In my previous life, I had tried every means to get close to Cliff, and at that time, Melinda did not consider me a threat.But after my rebirth, when I no longer wanted to be near Cliff, Melinda started to target me.How

    "I've already checked. She's not a resident student. No one has seen her in the girls' dormitory," Fawn said, her usual reliable gossip at hand."Not living in the dormitory means she's a day student," Raven scoffed, a disdainful curl to her lip and a look of despise in her eyes. "It must be because she can't afford our school's dorms. They cost 20 grand a year, not something every family can handle. As a call girl, she's only fit for day schooling." With that, she folded her arms across her chest and raised her chin, as if she had seen through everything.Fawn didn't chime in this time.Melinda spoke up instead, "Raven, don't talk about her like that. Everyone has their difficulties. Maybe she's also left with no choice?" Her eyes flitted around as she spoke, avoiding Raven's gaze. Her foot scraped back and forth on the ground, and her fingers twisted together. Her heart pounded like a rabbit caught in her chest, fearful that Raven would detect the cracks in he

    Vanya's POVI pulled Wilmot away.Wilmot looked reluctant, casting vicious glances back at Melinda and the others."Why are we leaving?" Wilmot asked, puzzled.I responded, "Arguing with them here is pointless, and I can't make a scene. If Veronica, Cliff's grandmother, finds out I'm attending Wolfe, I'll be in deep trouble.""What about your reputation? Are you just going to ignore it?" Wilmot questioned, concerned.I found his concern amusing and said, "Wilmot, in this school, who among those with family backgrounds doesn't know that I am Cliff's wife? Who doesn't know that I am the eldest daughter of the Dalton family? Why bother arguing with ordinary students who don't know any better?"Wilmot pondered my words and then realized it.Indeed, those people in the cafeteria, no matter how hard they worked their entire lives, might never reach our current status.Arguing with them was a waste of our time.The rumor

    Vanya's POVI headed straight for the cafeteria, looking for an empty seat.I spotted a free seat at the back and planned to take it.As I approached the three of them, I only then noticed Melinda, who was deliberately keeping her head down to eat and trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.At that moment, Raven abruptly stood up, blocking my way."Excuse me, do we know each other?" I tried my best to make my voice sound gentle and soft, with a faint smile on my lips.However, there was no real amusement in my heart. I knew she meant trouble."A call girl like you, of course, I don't know you, but I bet everyone else does," Raven deliberately raised her voice, loud enough for those around us to hear clearly.The incident with the school bulletin board had already been the talk of the day, and almost half the school was aware of it.I didn't get angry right away. I was curious to see what else she might say.

    Melinda's POVDuring class, my thoughts were completely captivated by the bulletin board outside the window, and my eyes kept glancing in that direction.The teacher's lecture seemed to become an annoying background noise. She called my name twice, but I was oblivious."Melinda. Can you answer that question?!" Professor's voice suddenly rose, her tone filled with impatience, which jerked me back from my reverie.I snapped back to reality, standing up in a panic. "Professor, I...""You've been absent from class lately, and when you do attend, you're daydreaming. I know you have decent grades, but you're a senior now. If you don't accumulate enough class hours, you won't graduate!" She frowned and reprimanded me sternly.I had been frequently absent from school recently, and my teacher, considering my grades were not bad, hadn't made too much of an issue about it.However, I had not only been truant often but also wrote my papers very c

    Vanya's POVThe next day, I headed to Wolfe as usual.As soon as I stepped onto the campus, I sensed that the looks of the people around me were pretty strange.Their eyes were filled with surprise, curiosity, and more so, an indescribable oddness.In the distance, a man's angry scolding could be heard, "Get away! What are you staring at?"I looked up to see Wilmot tearing something off the bulletin board.His movements were extremely rough, as if the item on the bulletin board was his enemy.I frowned, a hint of doubt rising in my heart.At that moment, he crumpled the paper in his hand viciously, his face as dark as a stormy sky, full of clouds, chilling to the bone.People around saw me approaching and quickly scattered like they were avoiding a deadly virus, retreating to a distance.Yet, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and kept stealing glances in the direction of Wilmot and me, as if trying to uncover
