Chapter 11

Author: Summer Dream
Victoria's words died in her throat. She clutched her cheek, dumbfounded.

"Who gave you permission to touch Heather's things?" Claude questioned, his voice carrying a menacing chill. "Victoria, have I spoiled you so much that you think you can do whatever you want?"

Victoria's tears came on cue. "But Heather's already—"

"Shut up!" Claude shot to his feet and swept the mug off the conference table.

The crashing sound made Victoria shriek.

"Don't think I don't know about the dirty tricks you'

    With a deafening crash, the other two vampires lunging at them were sent flying by a single kick from Mr. Wulfric. They hit the ground and didn't get up.He cast a brief glance at the scratch on Claude's arm, then pulled a small bottle of medicinal liquid from his pocket and poured it over his wound."This is the royal family's miracle medicine. It's specially formulated for minor injuries and won't leave any scars."It all happened too fast.Claude stood frozen in place.He looked at his instantly healed wound, then glanced at me standing beside him, completely unharmed. There wasn't even a wrinkle on my dress.There was no such thing as coincidences. Someone had orchestrated this.Claude's meticulously planned act of heroic rescue had only ended up benefiting someone else instead."Let's go, Heather." Mr. Wulfric took my hand, not sparing Claude another glance. "The air here is polluted. I get sick just smelling it."I looked at Claude one last time.He stood in the shadow

    Claude scoffed and clenched his fists tightly. "Found your next mate so quickly, have you? Guards!" He pointed at Mr. Wulfric. "Fire him immediately. He is never to set foot in Aurora again!""Claude, this has nothing to do with Mr. Wulfric."I tried to intervene, but Mr. Wulfric gently held me back. There wasn't a trace of panic on his face. On the contrary, he looked like he was thoroughly enjoying the whole thing.Just then, the door burst open.Claude's subordinate ran in, his face deathly pale. "Alp—I mean, Mr. Thorne, we can't fire him."The subordinate stole a glance at Mr. Wulfric as if he'd seen a ghost.Claude frowned with displeasure. "And why not?"Trembling, the subordinate shoved a tablet in front of Claude and explained quietly, "We just found out Mr. Wulfric isn't just some managing director."Not only is he the legendary lunatic who took on ten Alphas alone, but he's also the Alpha King who rules the entire werewolf kingdom.""What did you say?" Claude's voice

    Around us, whispers began to stir as countless curious eyes darted back and forth.I didn't stand up. Instead, I just looked at him calmly."What's up?"Claude frowned, clearly displeased with my indifferent attitude.He waved his hand, signaling everyone else to get lost."All of you, out!"The executives, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly ushered the employees out of the design department.The vast office space emptied out, save for Claude and me.Claude pulled up a chair and sat down. In a softened tone, he said, "I know you've been wronged, but I've already locked Victoria up. Now that the truth is out, all the pack members know she set you up."He extended his hand toward me. "Come back with me. The Luna position is still yours, and command of the Defense Department will be yours too. As long as you return, I'll let bygones be bygones."Let bygones be bygones? I let out an exasperated laugh.There he went again with that tone, as if forgiving me was some great favor he

    Not long after, the ticking time bomb that'd been buried in the Moonwing pack finally went off.During my lunch break, I put on my headphones. On my computer screen, footage of the Moonwing pack's recent situation was playing.It was footage that only wolves with high-level pack clearance could see.Of course, I'd turned in my clearance long ago. But I'd hacked into their system.On the screen, Victoria was reluctantly being pushed onto the altar by the elders.The elders' expressions were grim as one of them said, "Ms. Grimm, we have found you a new crystal ball. Please restore the defense spell as soon as possible. There are outsiders invading the border again, so we must take immediate action."Victoria's face turned deathly pale, her forehead slicked with sweat.She looked toward Claude for help. But he turned his head away, as if deliberately waiting to see her make a fool of herself.Urged on by the crowd, she reluctantly placed her hands on the crystal ball and chanted t

    On the weekend, I was at the stray animal rescue shelter where I'd signed up to volunteer.Perhaps it was the scent of a "fellow creature", but the stray dogs, usually so wary of humans, were always especially gentle around me."Careful! That's a newly arrived Mastiff mix. It's bitten three people already," Orlando Carey, the manager, shouted in alarm.Inside the metal cage, a fierce black dog was arching its back, a low growl rumbling from its throat.Instead of retreating, I quietly walked over. Then, I crouched down in front of the cage and looked directly into its eyes.There was no need to exert any dominance. Just the scent of having crawled through hell was enough to make this beast understand who the top-dog was.A few seconds later, the black dog let out a whimper and tucked its tail between its legs. Then, it lay down on the ground, exposing its belly.From behind came the sound of lazy applause."Bravo. Our great designer not only knows how to draw, but her animal ta

    "Such hot tempers so early in the morning. Careful, you don't get wrinkles, ladies."A tall, lean figure was leaning against the doorframe.He looked to be in his 20s, fresh-faced and full of life. Yet, his eyes held the weight of someone much older.A nonchalant smile on his lips, he held an iced latte in one hand, the other tucked into the pocket of his dress pants.Anna's hand, extended toward me, stopped cold in the air.The same colleagues who'd been so condescending moments ago now wore fawning smiles, their voices honeyed."Mr. Wulfric, what brings you here? We were just teaching the new girl the ropes. She's way too clumsy and spilled coffee all over the place."Wulfric? I looked up, my gaze settling on him.So, this was the legendary, most mysterious executive of Aurora Group—the one who came in late and left early every day, yet no one dared to fire him."Is this how you teach someone the ropes?" Mr. Wulfric strode into the archives room. "Aurora Creative's rule is t
