Theodore's POV

As 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 POVI frowned at Cliff, wondering when he started harboring such negative assumptions about me."I haven't done anything," I said impatiently."I've told you countless times. Melinda is my true mate and will be a valuable asset to the company. She poses no threat to your position as Luna. There's no need to target her constantly. Let alone use Veronica against her."Cliff accused me angrily, "I've told you I will reject her, but not now. Can't you wait a little longer?""Cliff, I've said I didn't, and it wasn't me who told Veronica about the kidnapping. She wouldn't have shown up and found Melinda staying over if you hadn't told her," I explained.Cliff narrowed his eyes, his face filled with suspicion. "It had better be that way," he said."Believe it or not."I replied, not caring whether he believed me or not. I stopped expecting his trust a long time ago.Soon, Cliff and I got into the car, where he held my hand hypocritically.I found his pretense amusing.I knew he was j

    Vanya's POVCliff looked at me, rubbing his temple wearily.I could almost read his thoughts, probably regretting not leaving me by the roadside.With reluctance, he got out of the car, picked up five or six bags, and I silently followed him.As soon as we pushed open the door, Cliff stood still as if under a spell.Blocked from entering, I asked in confusion, "Hey! Cliff! Could you move inside?"Following Cliff into the house, his face was as dark as the sky before a storm, extremely unpleasant.I could distinctly feel his body tense like a rigid stick, every muscle radiating resistance.I squeezed past him and saw under the dim, yellowish light, the living room had been magically set up with an exquisite candlelight dinner.My heart sank the moment this scene came into view.Undoubtedly, this was Veronica's idea.No wonder she insisted Cliff take me home after the mall. She had this waiting for me.It was a meticulously designed trap."Vanya, you really have your ways," Cliff's voic

    Vanya's POVCliff glanced at me, who was looking their way, and hesitated for a moment.Then, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm coming over now."With that, Cliff hung up the phone.A wave of secret joy surged in my heart, but I didn't dare show it on my face and quickly pretended to continue eating.I silently prayed he wouldn't notice anything off about me.Cliff cleared his throat and said, "I have to go out for something.""Was that Melinda on the phone?" I asked knowingly, already well aware of the situation.I just wanted to see how he would explain it and was also thinking about how to get him out of the house as quickly as possible."Melinda's ankle isn't getting better. I need to take her to the hospital," Cliff said, somewhat uncomfortably adjusting his collar.His gaze avoided mine naturally.I could sense he was worried I would make a scene, as I had done in the past.I nodded slightly and forced a magnanimous smile, saying, "Of course, you should go."Inside, I was thi

    Vanya's POVAs I spoke, I stepped into the office.Theodore was already seated comfortably in his executive chair, looking up at me with a calm inquiry, "Why would you say that?"On my way here, I had organized my thoughts meticulously.Jasper, as a businessman of modest scale, could afford to spend millions.However, it seemed quite odd to spend so much on an unremarkable piece of obsidian.The only plausible explanation was that Theodore had a need for it.I spoke confidently, "The obsidian rough I acquired, though seemingly ordinary, is blessed by the Moon Goddess. To humans, it's no different from any other obsidian, but for werewolves, it holds significant power. I suspect you plan to become an Alpha and intend to use this obsidian to strengthen your pack. Am I right?"Theodore nodded slightly, then frowned, a hint of confusion in his voice, "But now the blessed obsidian is in your possession."I understood his confusion. It was the crux of the matter.If I had acquired the stone

    Third Person's POVCliff spent the entire night at the hospital with Melinda.The next morning, he received a call from Elliot, his brow furrowing, a hint of confusion in his voice, "What enrollment exam?""The school staff called today, saying they saw Luna Vanya's name on the enrollment exam list, so they wanted to ask you if Luna Vanya had discussed this with you in advance."Cliff remembered that Vanya had been shopping with Veronica yesterday. When could she have registered for the exam?His mind was filled with doubts."I see," Cliff said before hanging up, the lines between his brows never smoothing out.He wondered silently, 'What scheme is Vanya plotting now?'"Alpha Cliff, was that a call from the school? Should I hurry back to class?" Melinda, lying in the hospital bed, had woken up at some point and asked softly."I've already spoken with Elliot and the school. You should rest here today. Besides, the call wasn't about you," Cliff replied."What was it about then?" Melinda

    Cliff's POVI pulled Vanya into the car parked outside the school, the atmosphere inside as cold as an ice cellar."Give me an explanation," I demanded, my voice icy with suppressed anger.Vanya showed no fear, responding candidly, "I want to study finance at Wolfe.""I forbid it," I blurted out without hesitation, a sense of resistance welling up within me for no apparent reason."By what right do you forbid it?" she retorted, undaunted."Because I am your mate!" I raised my voice, my tone even colder. "Vanya, don't think I don't know what you're up to!""What are you talking about?" she feigned innocence, looking at me with an air of bewilderment."Melinda is at this school, and you deliberately followed to make things difficult for her!"I accused, my mind's eye filled with Melinda's delicate figure, fearful that she might be hurt in any way."Cliff, I'm not as petty as you think!" Vanya's eyes betrayed a hint of disappointment."Vanya, I know you've never liked Melinda being part

    Third Person's POVCliff immediately pushed open the bathroom door. 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.

    Vanya's POV"Vanya!" From a distance, Wilmot, dressed in workout clothes, ran over. 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
