A Lesson in Independence Chapter 10
I conducted myself with utter confidence and exhibited flawless etiquette during the recognition ceremony, so much so that even the most discerning Alpha from the strictest pack had no choice but to concede my excellence, exclaiming, "Your daughter is truly remarkable, Alpha Benjamin!"I was met with smiles and compliments from every single Alpha there as Dad led me through the crowd to exchange pleasantries during the ceremony.I executed a flawless curtsy before I turned, only to find Callum standing right behind me, looking utterly dazed as he stared at me in disbelief.I barely recognized Callum when I saw him again. He looked awful—despite attending a formal banquet. His formal attire was crumpled and messy, and his entire demeanor was poor.Callum took deliberate steps toward me, pausing, as if uncertain, before reaching out to touch my arm.I quickly took a step back, putting distance between us. "You'd better not touch me. I feel nauseous every time you try."Callum froze

Selene's Point-of-ViewI departed the Shadow Wolf pack with absolutely nothing to my name. I spent two months working on the docks just to make ends meet. I took shelter under bridges and literally had to compete with stray dogs for food.I was now capable of eating a hot dog dropped on the pavement without a flicker of expression, thanks to the torment I suffered over those two years. I could easily get through the night next to the riverbank, despite the cold and dampness.I eventually stumbled upon a pup near the river, who was suffering even more than I was. If it hadn't been for the intermittent aid I provided, the cub would have definitely starved to death in the depths of that freezing winter.I had only rescued him because I wanted someone to keep me company in this lonely life. I never expected that just two months later, the underpass where we used to sleep would have dozens of luxury cars pulling up.It was then that an incredibly handsome, middle-aged man with a comman
A Lesson in Independence Chapter 8
Callum took the phone from Jeremy with mounting dread, and the first thing he saw was a torrent of unread messages from Natalie. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in fury as he read the messages. "How can this be? Is this really Natalie's doing? Is she the one who killed Richard?"Callum was in absolute denial of what he was seeing. He roared at Jeremy, "Get to the bottom of this! I demand to know everything that happened!"Jeremy's efficiency was remarkable as he managed to gather a thick pile of documents within half a day. He wore a grim expression as he looked at Callum, saying, "You should brace yourself for this, Alpha Callum. The results of the investigation aren't good." Jeremy's findings were exhaustive. He even managed to secure the surveillance footage that documented Natalie and her cronies harassing Selene.In the surveillance footage, Selene was seen pleading repeatedly for them to release her and begging Natalie for the antidote, as she was completely broke and
A Lesson in Independence Chapter 7
Callum recalled that he had constantly transferred funds to Natalie for her tutelage and Selene's living costs. He had been privately pleased that Selene chose to live in the apartment closest to his residence yet never bothered to check her living conditions. In fact, Callum had confidently handed off all responsibility to Natalie, trusting her to manage everything on his behalf. He suddenly realized that his optimism about the entire situation had been tragically misplaced.He quickly spotted the exquisite gift box tucked in the corner of the apartment, his eyes widening in disbelief. He trembled as he opened the gift box, revealing the perfectly intact wolf claw inside that made his heart ache. "Didn't you say that she had packed up and left? Why would she leave behind something so valuable then?"He had personally presented the wolf claw to Selene, an act that signified his acceptance of her as his Luna. She had once guarded it with her life, yet now it lay abandoned in the c

"W-What did you just say?" Callum directly jumped down from the stage and seized the phone from Jeremy. Callum knew it was Selene's phone since it was still adorned with her scribbled smiley-face sticker. He noticed that Selene's phone was completely unresponsive since it was waterlogged."Get this fixed for me, and make it fast!" Callum ordered Jeremy, a brief sense of dread crossing his mind before he quickly suppressed it.Natalie felt an immediate wave of dread as she recalled the stream of vicious messages she had sent Selene in a fit of rage earlier. She was now praying with every fiber of her being that the phone would be permanently irreparable."I need you to head to the sanatorium and bring Selene's grandfather back to the villa as well! I refuse to believe that Selene would leave him behind!" Callum gritted his teeth as he commanded Jeremy, his entire demeanor radiating resentment over Selene's unexpected departure.Natalie was immediately frightened. She attempted to
A Lesson in Independence Chapter 5
Callum widened his eyes in surprise, but soon regained his composure and dismissed the thought, saying, "That person you're speaking of couldn't possibly be Selene. I must have come to the wrong apartment."He chose to believe, in that moment, that this couldn't possibly have been Selene's residence, even though he routinely stopped his car right outside this apartment building.Larry nodded deferentially, saying, "You must have gotten the wrong place, Alpha Callum. How could that miserable young woman be the one you're looking for? She lived a very hard life—"Callum ignored Larry completely, grabbing his phone as he rushed out the door. He tried calling Selene again and again, but the phone rang endlessly until the calls stopped going through. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He had grown so used to Selene being available at his beck and call that he had never considered where he should search for her now that she wasn't picking
