Vanya's POV
Melinda's face turned extremely embarrassed in an instant, as if a dark cloud had covered the originally bright sunshine.
I could deeply feel her inner panic and helplessness at this moment.
She wanted to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for Cliff, but she never expected Veronica to come so early, turning all her careful preparations into nothing.
Before she had time to defend herself, Veronica saw through her petty thoughts keenly.
"Mrs. Todd, I... I really just wanted to make breakfast to thank Luna Vanya and Alpha Cliff, I have no other thoughts at all," Melinda explained anxiously.
Her voice trembled slightly, like a frightened little animal desperately seeking refuge.
I quietly watched Melinda's somewhat embarrassed appearance.
I was very clear that with her current experience and means, she was too naive and simple in front of Veronica, the former Luna who had experienced countless storms and was wise and profound.
Veronica had lived for so many years and had witnessed countless disputes and entanglements in the Silver Moon Pack. What kind of werewolf hadn't she met?
A straightforward and shallow mind like Melinda's, she only needed one glance to see through it, as if seeing through a layer of transparent gauze.
In my opinion, only Cliff could be fooled by Melinda's tricks.
He claimed that Melinda was his true mate, and now he was being blinded by love, unable to see through Melinda's petty thoughts at all.
"Alright, it's not a big deal. Melinda has class today. I'll drive her to school first," Cliff secretly gave Melinda a look, meaning for her to leave quickly.
Melinda understood his meaning obviously, and her face was filled with gratitude.
Veronica also watched them making eyes at each other, and she said coldly, "Today, Luna Vanya and I are going shopping. I see that you are not busy, so you can go with us."
"But Melinda..." Cliff still wanted to argue.
"Let Elliot send her. You are the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, don't run around with a rogue all day," Veronica's words were like a nail on the board, with no room for negotiation.
Melinda bit her lip and said sensibly, "Alpha Cliff, it's okay for Elliot to send me to school. Don't make Mrs. Todd angry."
After that, she also bowed politely to Veronica, but Veronica didn't take it seriously.
Cliff pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll send you out."
"Why? Can't she walk?" Veronica said sarcastically.
Melinda's face turned red immediately, and she left the Packhouse without saying anything.
Cliff turned to Veronica and said with a frown, "Veronica, Melinda is not an ordinary person. She is my true mate. I have to take good care of her."
Veronica's face changed when she heard this, obviously very dissatisfied.
Perhaps Cliff was too immersed in the fact of meeting his true mate.
Because he forgot that Veronica had a similar experience.
Back in the day, when Cliff's grandfather was still the Alpha, he met his true mate and then rejected her unceremoniously.
Now, Cliff wanted to persuade Veronica with this reason, which was absolutely impossible.
"So, you haven't rejected her yet?" Veronica asked.
Cliff was stunned for a moment and said directly, "No, my wolf will collapse, and Melinda will die of weakness. I can't do that."
Veronica snorted coldly and said, "I think you are far inferior to your grandfather. No wonder the development of our Silver Moon Pack has encountered a bottleneck. You go out and drive the car over."
Cliff didn't say anything. He pursed his lips tightly and left the Packhouse.
Veronica looked at me and said, "He is still young and easy to be deceived by that little tricks. You have to be more careful."
I nodded on the surface, but in my heart, I hope they can have a result quickly, so that I can be free sooner.
"I have noticed that you have been spending less and less energy on Cliff recently," Veronica held my hand and said, "You have to find a way to grab his heart, at least have a child. As long as you have an heir to the pack, your position as Luna will be more stable."
"I see," I agreed with a smile, but in my heart, I felt a little bitter.
Don't even mention grabbing Cliff's heart. Even getting pregnant was a fantasy.
Cliff doesn't like me at all. Although we are married, we have never slept in the same bed. How could I get pregnant?
The troubles of the past life suddenly came to my mind.
I finally got pregnant with Cliff's child, but in his eyes, except for Melinda, no one is worthy of giving birth to his child.
I was only twenty-seven years old, and the child was gone.
In the end, Cliff couldn't wait for me to die as soon as possible.
Thinking about these, my heart was like a big stone, very uncomfortable.
Veronica saw my heavy face and thought it was because I couldn't sleep with Cliff, so she said very seriously, "Don't worry. I will find a way to solve this."
At this time, Cliff had already sent Melinda away and came in to see Veronica and me chatting.
"Veronica, I have arranged for the driver to prepare the car. You go first. I have something to talk to Vanya alone," Cliff said.
Veronica, of course, hoped that we could be alone, so she left first.
After she left, Cliff asked me rudely, "Vanya, what are you planning again?"
