Melinda's POV

Vanya's expression grew stern, and Fawn, seeing the situation, rushed over to help me up from the ground. "Melinda! What are you doing? 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.

    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

    Vanya's POVI blinked awake, the world around me sharpening from a blur to crystal clear. I was in my bedroom, not the storage room of the pack's hospital.I turned, expecting to see my mate beside me, but the bed was empty.A rapid knock on the door startled me."Who is it?" I called out.No answer came, just the door swinging open to reveal a familiar figure.It was Jenny, the Omega, who kept the Packhouse tidy."Luna Vanya, you need to come to the Packhouse," Jenny's voice was fraught with urgency.She opened her mouth as if to say more, then closed it. Her eyes were filled with unspoken words."I'm on my way," I replied, not waiting for further explanation as I got to my feet.As I approached the Packhouse, I stood at the entrance, my heart pounding in my chest.My mate, Alpha Cliff, was inside, holding a petite girl's hand.She glanced at me furtively. For a moment, I thought I saw a smug smile flash across her face."Vanya, what brings you here?" Cliff, my husband, my mate, and

    Vanya's POVCliff stared at me in surprise after I spoke.Up until then, I had always acquiesced to his requests, executing them flawlessly.So, when he offered a casual explanation this time, he didn't expect me to challenge him."I told you, it's a necessary choice for the stability of my wolf. You're still my Luna..." Cliff repeated his rhetoric with a furrowed brow.I'd heard this excuse too many times. He didn't love Melinda, not yet, but no werewolf could resist the pull of a true mate.He hadn't rejected her as we had agreed, once his wolf was stable.Over time, the more they spent together, the more he fell for her, until he eventually marked her.Yet, he knew I was a competent Luna, so he didn't reject me.Every time he wanted to be with Melinda, he used his wolf as an excuse.I slowly closed my eyes, trying to escape the harsh reality. However, the pain inside me was like a tidal wave, overwhelming and inescapable.I had given everything for the prosperity of the pack, worki

    Vanya's POVCliff carried Melinda out of the Packhouse, their backs seeming to tear a deep rift.I stood still.I could feel the gazes of the pack members around me, a mix of surprise, contempt, and sympathy piercing me like invisible needles.But I showed no emotion.I turned calmly, planning to leave the suffocating place.At that moment, Beta Elliot hurried to my side and asked, "Luna Vanya, are you alright?"I glanced at him and replied calmly, "I'm fine."He frowned slightly, "I know this isn't fair to you, but Alpha Cliff... no matter what, he's doing it for the pack. I hope you understand, we, the pack members, will support you."I vividly remembered Elliot's unwavering support for Cliff all the time.He even sided with Melinda in public later on.So, I had little fondness for him. I said, "Thank you."Then, I ignored him, walking straight out.Leaving the Packhouse, I began to call for my wolf, Selena, in my mind.Usually, she would quickly respond, communicate with me, and of

    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.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 tr

    Vanya's POVTo my surprise, Theodore didn't press for further reasons.I received a verbal commitment from him. Although I couldn't say I was completely reassured, I wasn't panicked either.I knew Theodore was a man of his word. Once he promised something, he was likely to follow through.As for me, I planned to keep Theodore's identity a deep secret, never to be revealed to others in the pack.After all that, I dragged my exhausted body to the bathtub, craving a good soak to ease my tense nerves.As the warm water gradually covered my body, my thoughts began to drift.After the initial panic, I gradually calmed down.After my bath, I locked the bedroom door.I was well aware of where Cliff was at this hour. He was with Melinda, undoubtedly.Although my wolf was still restless, strangely, there was no pain from the betrayal of my mate.I knew Cliff wouldn't engage in overly intimate actions with Melinda just yet.But this restraint wouldn't last long.Soon, he would indulge his wolf a

    Vanya's POVI 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.Melinda's face flickered with a change, but she quickly composed herself.She whispered, "Luna Vanya, you are truly magnanimous."At this, Elliot couldn't help but interject, "Luna Vanya, she's just a..."I raised my chin slightly, my gaze firm as I interrupted him, "Elliot, Melinda is now a member of our pack. Her status is special. We must afford her the appropriate treatment. She can't keep wearing those old clothes. She needs suitable attire."In my past life, Melinda used my aversion to her to pretend to be a sweet girl who was bullied.In contrast, I was portrayed as a cruel, cold queen.This time, I chose to change my approach.Before leaving, I swept my gaze over the pack members one last time and gave Jenny a look.I went to Maggie's house. As soon as I entered, I saw several exquisite e

    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
