บททั้งหมดของ Contract With Alpha Theodore: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Cliff's POVThe next day, as the first hint of dawn began to lighten the sky, the faint morning light filtered through the windows and spilled into the living room.I leaned against the sofa, having not slept a wink all night, feeling waves of exhaustion wash over me.After last night's chaos, my nerves were still taut. My mind was a jumbled mess of conflicting thoughts.At that moment, I saw Vanya coming downstairs, carrying some toiletries, apparently planning to head back to her apartment early in the morning.The moment I saw her, my nerves tightened like a bowstring about to snap, and I tensed up instantly.I quickly stood up and took a few steps forward to block her path. My tone softened involuntarily, tinged with caution, "Where are you going?""Back to my apartment," Vanya replied coldly, her eyes distant and resolute, as if I were a complete stranger.Her voice was soft, but it struck my heart like a heavy hammer.Instinctively, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, wanting t

Cliff's POVVanya was taken aback. I draped the jacket over Melinda's shoulders, looked at Vanya, and said coldly, "I've said it before, Melinda and I have never crossed any boundaries."In truth, I was aware that my recent interactions with Melinda had been somewhat frequent, and it was understandable that Vanya would be upset.But I always felt I had a clear conscience. I was merely supporting Melinda. After all, she was alone at school, and she was my true mate."Crossed boundaries? What exactly counts as crossing boundaries?" Vanya let out a soft laugh. "The one who accompanies you to various galas is Melinda. When she falls ill, one phone call and you rush over. For her, you've repeatedly embarrassed me, your wife, in front of everyone."With each word Vanya spoke, my expression darkened.I knew that I had been negligent. I had been so focused on helping Melinda that I hadn't considered Vanya's feelings. But I truly hadn't meant to emba

Vanya's POVI already figured it out. The worst that could happen is Cliff spilling that I went to Wolfe.I don't care. If that's what it takes, I'll just cut ties with him early."I just don't get it. What's so great about a college girl? Vanya's prettier and better than her. Are you blind? How could you turn out like this?""Grandma, it's my fault. It's not Melinda's. Don't take it out on her.""You!" Veronica shot up from the couch, her presence swelling like a storm.The pressure she exuded was like a tidal wave, freezing the air around her.As the former Luna of the Silver Moon Pack, even regular werewolves would tremble in her fury."I didn't want to meddle, but with your attitude... don't blame me for being ruthless!" She turned to Elliot and barked, her voice dripping with authority."Get on the phone with Wolfe right now and get that girl, Melinda, kicked out. If Cliff keeps seeing her, I'll use every connection

Vanya's POVElmer Dalton, who had been quiet until now, saw Aldridge getting angry at Mirabel and immediately stepped up to protect her.He exuded an aura of hostility.In the werewolf world, this kind of aura was a warning to rivals, signaling that he was ready to fight to protect the person behind him.His eyes bulged as he roared, "Dad! Mom's right! Vanya is the daughter of the former Alpha of the Thunder Pack. They've raised her for years, and it's time she did something for the pack! She's enjoyed the family's resources. It's only fair she contributes to the pack's interests. It's her duty!"His voice was hoarse with anger. He looked at me like I was his sworn enemy."Shut up!" Aldridge bellowed at Elmer. His voice thundered through the hall, carrying the weight of an Alpha's authority.Elmer flinched, and though he was not willing, he didn't dare say another word.Defying an Alpha's command was serious business.Al

Third Person's POVElmer stood there, stunned for a few seconds, staring at Vanya in disbelief. "You dared to hit me?!""I told you, if you say another word, don't blame me for being ruthless," Vanya said coldly, her eyes fixed on Elmer.Elmer's temper flared. "Vanya! You f***ing..."Before he could finish, Vanya slapped him again, this time with full force. Elmer's face immediately turned red and swollen."Watch your mouth! I used to give you some leeway for Aldridge's sake and ignored your antics. Don't think I'm someone you can bully. If you dare to provoke me again, you'll regret it!"Vanya's gaze grew even colder. In the past, when she lived at Aldridge's place before marrying Cliff, young Elmer, encouraged by Mirabel, had often played petty tricks on her—ruining her notebooks, stealing her things.She hadn't bothered to confront him about those minor incidents, but now she saw no reason to put up with him any longer.
