Cliff's POV

A wave of annoyance surged within me, my brows furrowing tightly.

I snapped at Elliot, "I explicitly told you to inform her not to come today. What exactly happened?"

Elliot's gaze shifted between Melinda and me.

Melinda, startled by the suffocating tension, immediately had her eyes rimmed with a circle of redness.

She hurriedly explained, her voice on the verge of tears, "This isn't Beta Elliot's fault. I told him to notify Luna Vanya... I'm aware of my status, and I don't want to cause you any trouble, so... I thought it would be more appropriate for Luna Vanya to accompany you inside..."

With that, she lowered her head, her vulnerable and helpless appearance unconsciously stirring a hint of pity in my heart.

I raised my hand to rub my temple, internally caught in a very dilemma.

On one hand, I really didn't want Vanya to appear here, fearing various unexpected situations.

On the other hand, I couldn't ignore Melinda's terrified state.

Melinda gently bit her lower lip, l

    Vanya's POV"Alpha Cliff, take good care of Melinda, I'll go in first," I said.Then, I released my arm from his naturally.Cliff was taken aback. He didn't expect me to say that.Then, he grabbed my arm. "Let Elliot accompany you inside. It's not good for you to be alone."I sneered inwardly. Cliff didn't want me to enter with them.I nodded with a smile, watching Cliff and Melinda approach the door. I turned to Elliot and said, "I left my clutch on the car. Could you fetch it for me? My phone is inside.""Of course," he nodded and quickly ran off.Then, I quickened my pace, passing by the guests around me.As the servants opened the door for Cliff and Melinda, I made sure to walk in right behind them, walking in with my head held high.I was a Luna who was betrayed by her husband, a Luna who knew my worth.I paused as I entered the door, a faint smile playing on my lips.I could hear occasional growls and whispers in the room.Too many sounds at first for my ears to keep up.Yet, I

    Vanya's POVI remembered that there was an ordinary obsidian at this auction.It looked gray and unpolished, with a rough and uneven surface, so no one paid much attention to it.But in reality, it was an obsidian blessed by the Moon Goddess.If placed within a pack, it could influence the pack and the surrounding area.It could even strengthen the protective barriers of the pack's territory.Now that I've decided to leave Cliff, I need to secure my own future.This blessed obsidian is a great opportunity. I must find a way to get it. I can't afford to miss it.I turned my head, watching Cliff and Melinda talking and laughing together, and then quietly averted my gaze.Melinda indeed had some skills, which was one of the reasons Cliff was attracted to her in the future.Recalling my past life, Melinda had once helped Cliff identify a great piece of land.The land itself was excellent, and there were real estate developments built by the Silver Moon Pack's companies around it.Melinda

    Cliff's POVI thought Vanya's attendance at the auction was just out of curiosity, but when she bid half a million dollars on that piece of rock, I couldn't help but frown.Melinda whispered, "This stone has no value. Luna Vanya's half a million is likely to be wasted."I tried to Mind-link with Vanya, but she refused to communicate with me.Eventually, the obsidian was sold to Vanya for five million dollars.I immediately stood up.Five million is not much to me, but she didn't consult with me about what she wanted to bid on.At that moment, I noticed Vanya kept looking in one direction.Following her gaze, I saw Theodore.He was also looking at Vanya, even cheerfully raising his glass to her, which made my mood even gloomier.When leaving the auction venue, Melinda tugged at me and said, "Alpha Cliff, Luna Vanya will cause you to lose a lot of money."I coldly replied, "She bid the price herself. No one will pay for her."Vanya's POVAs the noise of the auction gradually faded, I wa

    Vanya's POVI looked at Cliff's face and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.However, I responded calmly, "We have no relationship. I don't even know him."Cliff said coldly, "Remember, I don't care about your relationship with him, but outside you are Mrs. Todd, the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack. You better be aware of your identity and keep a distance from other werewolves."Hearing Cliff say this, I couldn't hold back a derisive laugh, "Alpha Cliff, can you demand the same from yourself before demanding from others? Today you brought Melinda here, did you consider your identity and my reputation?""I had Elliot inform you today.""Did you? Was it to tell me not to come?"Cliff fell silent. Of course, he knew it was his fault.I said, "Even Theodore, a werewolf from another pack, could mistake Melinda for your Luna, let alone others. If you really like Melinda, then let's reject each other.""Vanya, what are you talking about?" Cliff frowned, a low growl emanating from his throat.That

    Vanya's POVI raised my chin slightly, my tone calm yet resolute, "I am the Luna of the Silver Moon Pack and do not usually participate in the operations of the pack's companies. However, Alpha Cliff is different. If I were to relay my previous words to Alpha Cliff, I wonder what he might think."Derrick's face flushed red like a firecracker that had just been lit, veins bulging on his neck.He roared uncontrollably, "You woman, how can you be so treacherous!"I turned my gaze to Theodore and spoke frankly, "I don't want to beat around the bush anymore, Theodore. I ask you to lend me four million dollars, for a period of three years, and I will repay it in full with interest."Derrick's eyes bulged as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world.He shouted, "Are you talking nonsense! Four million dollars, do you have any idea how high the interest will accumulate to after three years? If you can't pay it back, we will lose four million dollars for nothing. You are Cliff's mate.

    Vanya's POVI still remember that usually, he hardly bothered to mention my identity.I said bluntly, "You're just worried that I'll lose the five million dollars and drag the Silver Moon Pack down with me."Cliff fell silent immediately, his expression freezing, looking as if I had hit the nail on the head.Seeing his reaction, I was sure my guess was correct.I continued calmly, "You can rest assured, I won't drag the Silver Moon Pack's company into this. I am well aware that we became mates due to the interests between our packs. You and I, we rise and fall together. Now, you don't need to come back so frequently."Cliff's lips trembled slightly, but he was momentarily speechless.After we completed the mating ceremony, he only marked me and didn't even consummate our relationship.I thought this was also the reason why my wolf didn't have a painful reaction to his transgressions.Hearing me say this, he seemed to be struck by lightning, as if he suddenly realized how bad his actio

    Vanya's POVAs night fell, Cliff had Elliot bring a gorgeous and dignified black French long dress for me.After dressing up, I slowly descended the stairs from the second floor, where Cliff had been waiting for a while.Although he had seen me in a burgundy dress last time, he still couldn't help but show a hint of amazement at my current attire."I'm ready," I said, lifting my head.Cliff pursed his lips and responded, "I'll have Elliot bring the car around."I didn't pay much attention to it and, upon opening the door, saw Elliot waiting at the door.He was also quite surprised to see me in the dress."Luna Vanya, you look really stunning in that dress, even more beautiful than Ms. Coleman," Elliot blurted out.At the mention of Melinda, Cliff immediately glanced at him.Realizing his slip, Elliot quickly shut his mouth."It's okay," I said, not caring at all.Upon arriving at the venue, Cliff helped me out of the car.In an instant, everyone cast envious glances our way."Who is t

    Vanya's POVMelinda's shouting was so loud that, for a moment, it seemed as if everything around us had been muted.All eyes turned to her.Of course, it also included Cliff's and mine.In the eyes of everyone present, Melinda appeared to be a shrewish and ill-mannered woman.The stooped old gardener was carefully picking up the roses from the ground.He kept muttering apologies all the while.Melinda seemed to finally notice the piercing gazes from the surroundings, and her face turned extremely embarrassed.Then, as if changing masks, she quickly put on a face full of apology.She said, "I'm so sorry. I was just too anxious. Are you alright?"I stood not far away, watching this scene quietly.I knew in my heart that Melinda's belated remedy was useless and only made her seem even more affected.At this moment, Melinda also noticed me standing next to Cliff."Why is she here?" Cliff frowned and muttered to himself.I looked at Cliff's expression and speculated in my heart that he rea

    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

    Melinda's POVVanya'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.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
