Vanya's POV

To 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 and completely succumb to the allure of his true mate, even betraying our oath.

However, at this moment, there was no pain in my heart.

I couldn't help but wonder why I was so calm, even though Cliff and I hadn't rejected each other.

His wolf seemed unable to affect me as it once had. Everything seemed so strange.

The next day, I woke up to the faint light of dawn.

I was still lying on the familiar bed, marveling at the miracle of the Moon Goddess.

At that moment, there was a sound from the bedroom door, followed by urgent knocking and Cliff's angry voice, "What the hell, Vanya! Why did you lock the door? Open it now!"

I got up leisurely and opened the door.

Cliff stood at the door, his face flushed with anger in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

He stared at me fiercely, then slowly approached me.

I could feel his breathing becoming rapid.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and sniffed at my neck, the warm breath making me slightly uncomfortable.

"I think I can mark you again, to strengthen our bond. Maybe then, I'll have enough power to reject Melinda," he said in a deep, husky voice, with a hint of probing.

I rejected him without hesitation, even feeling a bit of disgust. "No need. Where were you yesterday, with Melinda?"

Cliff snorted impatiently and turned to leave. "None of your business. I have a werewolf gathering to attend in a few days."

"Should I be with you?" I asked.

"You don't need to," he said without turning back.

I watched his hurried departure and sneered inwardly.

In the previous life, he took Melinda to the gathering. Since we had just become mates for less than a month, many werewolves didn't know that I was his Luna.

They mistook Melinda for the Luna, causing me endless humiliation.

But this time, I wouldn't let the same thing happen.

I found my best friend, Maggie, one of the few people in Silver Moon I could trust.

"Maggie, I want you to take me to get a dress made in your name," I said. "I can't let Cliff know I'm going to the werewolf gathering."

Maggie looked at me, puzzled. "Vanya, why don't you just reject him? Why bother with all this?"

I sighed gently and looked into her eyes, "It's not that simple. He won't agree to my rejection. We've only been married for a month. It would also be a blow to my father's pack."

Maggie held my hand.

Then I came to the Packhouse and just happened to meet the tailor leaving.

Pretending to know nothing, I asked Jenny, "Jenny, what's going on?"

Jenny opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to tell me something, but helplessly closed it again.

"It's Alpha Cliff. He saw that I was too pitiful, with no decent clothes. If I attend any gathering, it would embarrass the pack, so he had someone make a couple of dresses for me," Melinda said weakly.

I sneered inwardly.

What chance did a rogue have to represent the pack at a gathering? She just wanted to imply something to me.

I walked up to Melinda with a friendly smile on my face. "That's great. You must choose well and dress beautifully."

Melinda was obviously taken aback by my actions.

Other members of the pack around us also looked surprised.

Some werewolves' eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening; others frowned, their faces full of confusion, clearly not understanding why I was so kind to this woman who openly broke my marriage.

Pretending not to see their reactions, I continued to smile at Melinda. "Melinda, you're new here and may not be used to it yet. But don't worry, in our pack, everyone will take good care of you."

I gently patted her shoulder, my movements soft and natural.

Melinda finally came to her senses, forcing a smile and saying, "Thank you... Thank you, Luna Vanya, for your concern. I just don't want to cause any trouble."

    Third Person's POVCliff immediately pushed open the bathroom door. The room was filled with steam and a faint, sweet scent.The smell was oddly familiar to Cliff, as if he had encountered it before.But Melinda didn't give Cliff time to think. She threw herself into his arms. Feeling the smooth skin and the warm touch, Cliff shuddered and tried to push Melinda away.However, Melinda wrapped her arms around his neck. Her face was flushed with a hint of red. Her eyes were filled with desire."Alpha Cliff... I really can't live without you. Don't you like me?" Melinda's voice was unusually soft and seductive.Cliff felt an unfamiliar sensation rising within him. Just a gentle touch was enough to ignite the desire he had been suppressing."Cliff, look at me. You used to care for me the most," Melinda said, standing on her tiptoes and placing a kiss on the edge of Cliff's lips.She then teasingly ran her tongue along his lips, a mo

    Third Person's POVCalvert noticed Vanya's hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I checked. There are no cameras around here."Vanya frowned and asked, "Don't you have to go for a photoshoot?""I've finished for today, but I'll probably be around for the next few days. I still have some ads to shoot," Calvert replied."Then go ahead and get busy. I'll do the same," Vanya said, preparing to leave.But Calvert stopped her, placing the takeout bento in her hand. "It's from my grandma.""Mine?" Vanya asked, surprised.Calvert added, "She made it specially for you."Ever since Vanya had visited Calvert's home last time, his grandmother had taken a liking to her.Vanya accepted it with a bit of embarrassment. After all, it was Grandma Sutton's kind gesture."Tell her thank you for me," Vanya said, patting Calvert's shoulder as she left."Keep up the good work! Your future is bright."Calvert watched Vanya's r

  • Contract With Alpha Theodore   Chapter 148

    Vanya's POVGrace noticed my thoughtful expression and asked, "Did Cliff suspect you when you went back to the Silver Moon Packhouse today?""He did suspect me, but... it wasn't quite what I expected," I replied."What do you mean 'not quite what you expected'? Isn't suspicion just suspicion?" Grace hugged a pillow, her curiosity piqued as she waited for me to explain.I said, "He gave me a ring today and said... he likes me."After I finished, Grace was stunned. "Cliff?""Yes," I confirmed."This feels like something my silly brother Theo would do," Grace said, looking puzzled.I rested my chin on my hand and thought carefully before saying, "Cliff probably likes Melinda. He's saying this because of M Group. Right now, the Todd Group can't afford any more scandals. He wants to keep me stable. As long as we don't divorce or cause trouble during this period, he can avoid a lot of headaches."I repeated to myself, as if tr

    Vanya's POV"Enough! Cliff, bickering with a woman like this isn't like you. What do you really want by calling me back? Don't tell me it's because you're jealous that I was at Wilmot's birthday. I won't believe such a ridiculous thing coming out of your mouth," I said.Cliff opened his mouth but couldn't find any words."About Melinda, I was wrong about you," Cliff suddenly said.I thought I had misheard."Are you... apologizing to me?"Cliff's expression froze.I looked at him and asked again, "You didn't call me back just to apologize, did you?"Cliff was silent."I knew it was for the apology," I couldn't help but say."Vanya, you..." Cliff's face turned a bit sour.He was used to being in control and having others submit to him. Admitting he was wrong was a big step for him.Cliff tried to stay calm and said, "I was wrong about this. I shouldn't have accused you. But Melinda didn't deserve to go

    Vanya's POV"Sorry, Mr. Hammond, but Alpha Cliff sent me to bring Luna Vanya home," Elliot said, looking at me. "Luna Vanya, Alpha Cliff is very concerned about you. Please come back with us.""What if I don't want to go back?" I asked.Elliot paused for a moment, then said, "Then I'm afraid we'll have to insist."The bodyguards behind Elliot immediately stepped forward. Wilmot tightly shielded me, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here!"I wasn't actually scared. I knew that even if Elliot couldn't take me away, he wouldn't dare cause a scene at the Hammond residence.However, the fact that the Todd family could so easily enter the Hammond residence was quite surprising.It seemed that Cliff's position as the top businessman in Los Angeles was well-deserved.If things really escalated, no one would come out unscathed."Wait." I gently patted Wilmot's back and stepped in front of him. "Today is Wilmot's birthday party. Bringing

    Vanya's POVGrace, holding the skirt of her Lolita dress, ran over and said, "Wilmot's been looking for you everywhere. He's frantic. You should change out of that costume quickly. We'll head back soon!""Alright," I replied, thinking to myself that Cliff would probably send Elliot to find me any minute now.I glanced at Theodore one last time before following Grace back to the dressing room.After quickly changing and removing my makeup, I followed Grace out of the dressing room, only to bump into Wilmot, who had come to find me."What are you two doing here?" Wilmot frowned. "I couldn't find you after we entered. Where did you go?""I suddenly needed to use the restroom," I said, using the first excuse that came to mind.Hearing this, Wilmot's face seemed to flush slightly.He turned his head and said, "Let's go. There's nothing fun here anymore.""Good! Let's get out of here. I don't think there's anything fun here ei
