Chapter 3

Winnie As I stood in front of the floor mirror and carefully checked that the earrings matched my blonde curls perfectly, the pride in my heart was almost engraved on my face. Luna Judy always said that I was like her when she was younger, and I knew that resemblance was the reason she finally adopted me. That bitch Lorelei should have died long ago at the hands of those rogues, and if she hadn't escaped back, I would be the true alpha heir of the Frostfang Pack now, not some kind of "adopted daughter" in the backyard. But that will soon change. I stared at the pale pink lip gloss I carefully applied in the mirror and smiled innocently sweetly at myself. Everything is going according to my plan. The door was pushed open with a click, and Yancey,my second brother,walked in, still carrying the pheromones that were slightly sweaty after training in the morning. But I didn't mind, the moment he approached, I chuckled and reached out to grab his neckline, and approached gently- His lips pressed up with a fiery eagerness. "You're the only person I can trust, Winnie." He gasped and whispered, "Guess what? Lorelei finally let go. She will marry Alpha Keith Vanderbilt tomorrow, and she said...... After the wedding, he quit our wolf pack. ” I trembled slightly in his arms, but not shocked, but ...... The excited ecstasy almost jumped out of my throat. It worked. I close my eyes and the melody of "Moon Hymn" seems to echo in my head at this moment. I tried to resist the urge to be happy and maintain my image of gentleness and submission. She ...... Are you really willing to leave the wolf pack? I had a little hesitation in my tone, as if I still couldn't believe the news. Yancey nodded, "She really dares to talk about conditions." She is not the obedient little waste before, maybe after being a rogue outside for a few years, she thought she was an Alpha. ” I frowned slightly and whispered, "What a pity...... After all, she is Luna Judy's biological daughter. ” I could feel Yancey's body loosen slightly from my obedience and sympathy, and he gently pinched my slender wrist, "Lorelei is never meant to be Luna of anyone, let alone the level of the Silvervein Pack." ” "I know." My eyes flashed. Can Lorelei give birth to heirs? No kidding. Her stubbornness and disobedience will sooner or later make Keith disgusted with her. When he dies - if he is really on the verge of death as rumored - the Frostfang Pack will slowly encroach on and annex the Silvervein Pack, becoming the strongest wolf pack on the North American continent. And I, the destined partner of the triplets, will become the strongest Luna! That throne has always belonged to me. The next day, I deliberately put on a velvet royal blue dress and tied a white gold chain belt around my waist to outline my curves to the fullest. I stepped on my high heels and walked indifferently into the ceremony prepared for Lorelei, as if it were a grand ceremony for me. When my eyes fell on the "bride price" that the Silvervein Pack brought, I almost forgot how the word elegant was spelled. Boxes of sparkling jewelry, property deeds in the most exclusive areas, and keys to countless luxury cars...... That's not a resource that any ordinary wolf pack can use. Luna Judy stood beside me, and I gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered to her, "Lorelei can't handle these at all." She doesn't even know how to summarize the ledger. ” "This wealth cannot fall into her hands alone." My tone was soft, but as seductive as a sharp hook, "You are her mother." You should...... Help her manage these. ” Luna Judy's jaw tightened, and a hint of actuarial cold light flashed in her eyes. "You're right, these bride prices are all for Frostfang Pack, and they are the glory of our entire wolf pack." She took the bait after all. Before the ceremony began, I deliberately bypassed the others and pretended that I just wanted to "say goodbye" to Lorelei. She stood alone on the edge of the field, wearing a white dress that could no longer be plain, and her back was as lonely as a lamb to be sacrificed next. "This is the last time you stand on Frostfang territory." I pretended to have pity and said, but there was a sneer hidden in the corner of my mouth, "Marrying an Alpha you haven't even touched is too cruel for you, right?" “But Keith will never really like your type. He likes the supple and obedient Luna. “ Lorelei turned her head, her expression indifferent, but there was a chilling calmness. "Thank you, Winnie." She said in a light tone, "I don't have time to waste my energy on your boring speculations." ” I snorted softly, turned to leave, thinking about how she was humiliated and punished, and my mood improved inexplicably. But what happened next was out of control. Before everyone was ready to welcome the marriage ceremony, Lorelei actually walked up to Elder Thalen, raised his head, and said in a clear and clear voice, "I, Lorelei Voss, announce that I have officially severed all ties with the Frostfang Pack, And from now on, I will dissolve all partners, families, resources, and spiritual ties that belong to me and this wolf pack." ” There was an uproar. I stood there, my mouth slightly open, unable to believe that she could disconnect from the entire wolf pack in public. Then, she faced the crowd sent by Keith and showed them a sealed document. The Beta of the Silvervein Pack, Zion, calmly stepped forward, took the papers and handed them to Gamma Stephen in the referee's seat. "Property rights transitional instrument,"Beta Zion said word for word, "all bride price received in the name of Lorelei Voss is henceforth vested in the assets of the Silvervein Pack and distributed freely by Lorelei." ” My eyes widened, those resources...... Isn't it for the wolves? "You're crazy!" Luna Judy screamed on the spot and tried to snatch the papers, but several Silvervein's bodyguards quickly stopped her. Alpha Harvey rushed forward even more violently, roaring,"You have no right to take away our wealth, that's the price we paid for raising you!" ” Beta Zion sneered, pulled out an order document from his cuff and stamped it with the clan chief's seal,"If you get one step closer, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Silvervein Pack." Alpha Harvey stopped, his face flushed but hard to move. I stood on the side of the platform, my dress lifted by the wind, and watched as Lorelei boarded the Silvervein Pack's convoy in full view. She walked away with everything that belonged to "us". With my teeth clenched and my nails almost in my palms, I watched as the convoy drove away quickly, roaring out of the Frostfang Pack gate. Did she win? No...... No way. Who is Keith Vanderbilt? It is rumored that he is ruthless, and he values blood and reproduction in everything. He is a beast and a judgment that walks on earth. A woman like her...... Does she dare not have children? Does she dare to disobey? Heh—— Gossip rumors came in my ears that "Alpha Keith was born of cursed blood". Once she offends that person, what awaits her is worse than death. That would be her end. She won't go higher than me. No, it won't. I took a deep breath and continued to adjust the smile on the corner of my mouth. I will continue to play the role of "poor adopted daughter", because my big dream is far from over. Lorelei, your pain, has just begun.
