Third Person's POV"Marcus, the man next to her is George, also known as Caesar, the Hollywood Best Actor. I never expected to see him here, let alone accompanying Ms. Walsh. After all, he used to be very low-key and never had a woman by his side."Angela deliberately said this, and sure enough, she saw Marcus' expression become even colder.Angela closed her mouth tactfully and glanced at Kelsey, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes. When did Kelsey meet George?The relationship between the three cousins and the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack and his two brothers was actually distant.It was said to be about the missing young lady from the Larson family.Of course, Angela's three cousins distanced themselves from her because Digby had originally brought her back from the orphanage to deceive their grandmother by making her the substitute for the real young lady.She did want to have a good relationship with her three cousins, but they never paid any attention to her just because
Kelsey's POVThe pine resin incense lamp in the award hall suddenly emitted sparks, and the temporary mark on the back of my neck festered and burned in the pheromones.The moment the champion's name rang out, my nails pierced the palm of my hand, oozing blood beads with the taste of lychee, which was the scent of shame belonging to the rogue werewolf.I sat alone on the chair, concealing the awkwardness.Just now, for a moment, I thought I would be the first place!After hearing someone else's name, I felt like I had been slapped hard, and even my breathing became difficult.I thought I would at least rank top 10, but I didn't expect to be eliminated in the end.Mia sneered, "Kelsey, did you see that? I just advised you not to have any hope, but you didn't listen. The first place is not for someone like you. Stop dreaming and go back to your slum or work at the factory."The blade totem behind her ear glowed with a green light, and the oppressive aura of the secondary Alpha sent a ph
Angela's POVMarcus looked up and turned his gaze towards Kelsey, seeing that she was accompanied by another man who was seemingly comforting her.I also noticed who Marcus was looking at, and I suddenly spoke up, "Marcus, I will announce a special award specifically for Kelsey later."Marcus raised his head and asked, "Set up an award for her?""Yes, because I just received a call from my older brother, who requested a re-election with real names. I suspect it's because of George, but there's really no need to have another re-election, as the results won't change anyway. That's why I decided to create a special award for Kelsey. I have no choice."Marcus furrowed his brow and placed the design drawing in his hand on the table, asking, "Which one is Kelsey's design?""Marcus, this selection was confidential, but since she didn't make it, it's certain that her painting was not good."I calmly collected all the design drawings on the desktop and said, "Well done. Let's stop here. I will
Angela's POVI took out my phone and called the chief planner, but no one answered.I looked at the chief planner on the stage, and my eyelids started twitching incessantly.The chief planner on the stage calmly said, "Because there was a mistake in the previous scoring, the first place is Kelsey, and she is not the one who got eliminated."Eloise said unwillingly, "Why do we have to believe you? We want to see the actual design for evaluation!"I stood up immediately upon hearing these words and looked at Eloise, saying, "Our scores definitely have no problem; it's about other processes."I could not let them show the scores of the design drawings! Everything would be exposed.The next second, on the large screen behind the chief planner on the stage, design drawings, and scores appeared. The chief planner said, "Take a close look. This is the initial score and ranking, but can you see if the name on the design drawing is corresponding or not?"Eloise said skeptically, "No. Even thou
Marcus' POVAngela showed an awkward smile.My wolf made mocking growls in my mind."Is she a Lycan? She is so stupid!"I wanted my wolf to shut up.But I agreed with it.Kelsey looked at the audience and said, "I want to thank someone. He made me who I am and helped me achieve this award."The chief planner asked curiously, "May I know who that man is?"Kelsey smiled but did not answer. She picked up the trophy and walked down the stage in my direction.I tried to keep calm.I slowly sat up straight, and my heart rate accelerated.I watched as Kelsey approached as wondering, "What does she want? Is she toying with me?"Kelsey stood in front of me. I held my breath and sat up straighter.All eyes followed her.Kelsey looked down at me with a slight smile. "Excuse me."My expression froze, and I watched as she walked past me, her champagne-colored skirt gliding over the back of my hand, the scented fabric smooth like skin.My fingers twitched, but I missed her skirt.Kelsey crossed two
Third Person's POVAngela's eyes gleamed as she said, "Mia, don't be so impulsive. She's found a new patron.""She's just a rogue, nothing to fear," Mia retorted.Angela fell silent.Though Mia was dim-witted, she could be useful at times.As Angela prepared to chase Marcus, she received a call from Digby.Anxious, she answered, "Hello, Digby.""Angela, stay out of the competition and subsidiary matters. You should know what today's mistake means to me," Digby said sternly.Angela's face paled. "I can explain. It wasn't my fault this time. Someone else made the error.""But you're the manager. Of course, this is your responsibility," Digby replied.When Digby learned Kelsey hadn't won first place and was nowhere to be found, he was so anxious to support Kelsey that he nearly rushed to the scene. However, Arya stopped him.Fortunately, it was later confirmed that Kelsey was the mysterious designer Ms. Z. Her first-place win was well-deserved.Digby didn't want Kelsey to be wronged, esp
Marcus's POV"Alpha Marcus, as you just heard, Miss Walsh refused our offer."I replied, "I see."I took out my phone and scrolled through Instagram, landing on Kelsey's post from last night. My mood instantly became complicated.Remembering the woman who had deliberately flaunted herself in front of me last night, I felt an inexplicable anger, wishing I could pull her into my arms and teach her a lesson.Ever since the divorce, Kelsey seemed like a completely different person, becoming more and more inscrutable.Was she truly just an ordinary rogue?My phone alerted me to a trending news story."Washington's Leading Actor's New Romance Exposed!"I frowned and clicked in, seeing a photo of Kelsey and a man's silhouette. She was wearing a champagne-colored gown, her figure slender, the hem fluttering gently.My fingers twitched, recalling the sensation of her skirt brushing against my hand.I swallowed hard, took a few sips of water, and then called Darcy over. "Take down the headline."
Kelsey's POVThough an orphan, I had my pride and principles.When Sidney spoke those words, my wolfish side ignited. My inner rage surged like a volcano about to erupt."Sidney, she's an orphan. What upbringing could she have had? Her uncle is still in the hospital. How could he have raised her?" Mia's words were like sharp fangs, piercing me painfully.My wolf could no longer be suppressed. I grabbed a cup from the table and threw its contents at Mia.At the same time, a powerful werewolf aura burst from me, enveloping the entire space. "Shut up!"I roared, my voice carrying the fury and authority of my wolf. I could be spoken of, but not my loved ones.They were the softest spots in my heart, and I would not tolerate any infringement.Mia screamed in terror at the sudden release of my aura. She trembled, her face etched with fear. "Kelsey, are you crazy? I'm going to tell your boss!"In the face of such overwhelming werewolf aura, she was like a frightened little animal.Craig came
Kelsey's POVHearing this, a wave of sarcasm washed over me. Everything was still the same as before.I let go, and Angela immediately threw herself into Marcus's arms, starting to sob.I looked at Marcus defiantly and said, "She was the first to lash out, but I knew you wouldn't believe me, so forget it."I turned to leave, hearing Angela's tearful voice behind me, "Alpha Marcus, let's just drop it."I stared at the ceiling, determined not to look back."Stop!"Marcus's cold voice halted me. I gathered my courage and turned to face the couple. "What else?"Angela stood meekly beside him. "Alpha Marcus, let's just forget it."I felt I shouldn't have come today or taken the order in the first place.I should have cut all ties with the Marshmans.Marcus approached, his face a mask of coldness.I stood my ground and met his gaze. "What do you want?"Marcus frowned, noticing my disheveled hair and the cut on my lip.His gaze softened slightly. "Does it hurt?"Was he concerned?Marcus quic
Third Person's POVAngela hadn't expected Marcus to ask Kelsey to redesign the villa's soft furnishings.She had the butler change the decor to erase Kelsey's presence, which had enraged Marcus so much that he fired the butler.Her attempts to rectify the situation with renowned designers had all fallen short of Marcus's expectations.In response to Angela's inquiry, Kelsey nonchalantly placed the design plans on the table. "Yes, it's me. When will Marcus be back?" "He's working late. His return time is uncertain. But discussing it with me is just as effective, as this villa will eventually be ours to live in together," Angela remarked. Angela picked up the design plans and sat on the sofa to review them. The hall was quiet except for the sound of pages turning. Kelsey stood there, feeling the time drag on. Angela put down the documents. "Your designs are excellent, but a few details need adjusting. For instance, I'd like a photo wall for our wedding pictures. Where do you think
Kelsey's POVI arrived at work on time the next day.However, as soon as I sat down at my desk, Eloise approached me in a huff. "Kelsey, did you do this on purpose?"I was having breakfast and replied calmly, "What are you talking about?""Don't play dumb. Why did you have me oversee the mansion project yesterday? Was it to mess up the design and get me in trouble?" Eloise was furious, still upset about being scolded and having her makeup ruined.I blinked. "You volunteered to go. How is that my fault?"Eloise, red with anger but unable to argue, stormed off.I finished my breakfast calmly. I knew Eloise had leaked information to Mia before, leading to Mia and Sidney humiliating me.I was not the same pushover I used to be.In the afternoon, uniformed officials arrived at the office. "Who's the boss?"Eloise stepped forward. "The boss isn't here. What's this about?""We're from the relevant department. We received a complaint alleging intentional fraud at your studio.""This is imposs
Marcus's POVConceiving?I stared at the small bottle in front of me. Is Kelsey taking this to conceive? Does she plan to get pregnant?My phone rang, but I didn't glance at it, keeping my eyes fixed on the folic acid bottle in my hand.Darcy spoke up, "It's Sidney's calling."Only then did I pick up my phone. "Hello, Mum.""Marcus, after much thought, I've decided to tell you something important. A few days ago, when I went to the hospital to visit an old classmate, guess who I ran into?" I fiddled with the folic acid bottle in my hand. "Mum, just get to the point.""I saw Kelsey secretly having a gynecological check-up at the hospital. She must be trying to conceive your child quietly. Then, using your granny as an excuse, she'll latch onto the Bladeclaw Pack permanently. You must be careful and cannot let Kelsey get pregnant. Otherwise, you won't be able to divorce her.""Who said I want a divorce?" I blurted out.On the other end of the line, Sidney said, "Didn't you propose divor
Marcus's POV"As long as I haven't rejected you, you're still my mate. Fraternizing with other men—do you even know what shame is?""Then let's just complete the rejection ceremony," Kelsey suggested.I yanked off my tie in frustration. "Here we go again. You know Granny won't agree to our divorce. You're just trying to threaten me.""I'm not threatening you," Kelsey said calmly, meeting my gaze. "We can handle the divorce discreetly and not tell Granny until after her surgery.""Do you think Granny is a fool?" I stepped forward and grabbed her chin. "So eager to finalize the divorce—what if Granny catches wind of this? Can you handle the consequences?"She lowered her eyes slightly. "I just want to clear the way sooner, so Angela doesn't have to wait.""What does this have to do with her?"I wasn't planning on marrying Angela!I looked down at her, my tone a warning. "Kelsey, I'm warning you. If your gossip hurts Granny, I won't let you off the hook, and neither will I tolerate your
Kelsey's POVI told them, "Didn't you hear me just now? I'm in charge in this house. It's useless to talk to him!"Skye skeptically said, "You're just boasting. Your husband is wealthy and powerful. He must be the one in charge of this house. How could it be you?"I pursed my lips, nervously glancing at Marcus. I really didn't want him to agree.The implication of what I just said was pretty clear.Marcus rolled up his sleeves, looked down at me, and said, "Come here."I wasn't sure what he meant.As soon as I got closer, Marcus's hand rested on my shoulder, pulling me into his embrace.I stiffened, looking at him in confusion.Marcus looked up at the two greedy women on the sofa and said, "I have plenty of money."My grandmother and Skye exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with delight.The next second, Marcus continued, "But all my money is in my wife's hands. In this house, she's the one who makes the decisions."My head buzzed as his words reached my ears.We were so close
Kelsey's POVI wasn't surprised. After all, the day I was driven out, Angela had declared she would replace all the decorations.I said, "It's good that they were changed. Out with the old, in with the new.""Luna Kelsey, don't be angry. After these decorations were changed, Alpha Marcus came back very angry and even fired the housekeeper," the omega said."Really?" I was somewhat surprised. The housekeeper was someone sent by Sidney. It seemed he was really angry."Help me take stock of which decorations have been changed here. I'll be in charge of the subsequent renovations, and you can help me coordinate," I said."Okay, Luna Kelsey, but aren't you going to check upstairs?"I lowered my eyelids and said, "No need for upstairs."After all, I didn't want to go upstairs and see the traces of Marcus and Angela's life together. I didn't want to at all.I kept the changes in the living room in mind, preparing to go back and draw up the design plans, thinking about how to modify them.At
