It was night, and the biting cold wind was howling around her body.
The full moon hung in the sky, giving each werewolf more power than usual.
But for Tris, it was a nightmarish moment.
Someone had spiked her soup at dinner, making her extremely weak.
Even if she summoned her wolf Maggie, she could not get rid of the few werewolves chasing after her.
"I can't..." Maggie panted heavily as she spoke to Tris telepathically.
"Don't give up. Try harder. We're almost at Aunt Sophie's house!"
Sophie was one of the elders in the tribe. As long as she could get to her door, the werewolves behind her would give up chasing after her.
Unfortunately, the effect of the drug was taking over her body. Maggie's speed quickly decreased.
The two werewolves pounced on her shortly after, and she fell to the ground.
Accompanied by sharp pain, they tore off two pieces of flesh from Maggie's body, and blood immediately gushed out.
Maggie's whole body was sore and weak, and she was starting to lose consciousness. Except for her powerlessness, she could not feel any pain.
She returned to her human form, Tris, as she was too weak.
"Run! Why aren't you running?" A familiar seductive voice said.
Tris suddenly widened her eyes and saw Wendy, her husband's partner, Victor, before her.
"It's you!" Tris was furious as she stared at Wendy.
A year ago, Victor suddenly brought Wendy back to the tribe and told her apologetically, "My dear, I'm sorry. I always thought I would not run into my Fated Mate until I met Wendy. My inner wolf was obsessed with her and crazy for her. I could not control..."
Although Victor and Tris were husband and wife, they were not each other's Fated Mates.
They were just childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
They had always liked each other and received blessings from their parents.
It was not until the two successfully summoned the wolf in their bodies during their 18-year-old bar mitzvah that they painfully discovered that they were not each other's Fated Mates. Neither of them had sensed their partners.
So they had no intention of giving up their love.
Victor had promised that even if he met his Fated Mate one day, he would not even look at her.
In his heart, Tris was his only true love.
Tris believed him and agreed to his proposal without hesitation when she was twenty years old.
She was the only daughter of the tribe's Alpha, and Victor was also a descendant of the Beta.
In the entire tribe, no young man was stronger than Victor.
So Victor married Tris and took over Star Tribe to become the new Alpha.
Tris had two older brothers.
But they both died in an alien invasion.
Back then, Tris and Victor were still young and did not have the qualifications to participate in the battle. They could only hide in the basement and tremble.
Star Tribe won, but they also paid a hefty price.
Tris' two brothers died the most miserably. One of them had his neck bitten off, while the other had his internal organs pulled out of his body.
Those outsiders seemed to be targeting the two of them.
There was also Tris' Alpha father. To save his tribespeople, he also lost a pair of legs. He could only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Someone had to take over Star Tribe, and that someone had to be Tris' partner.
So, ever since Tris got married, his father had passed on the role of Alpha to Victor.
They had been very loving until Wendy came along.
Victor was gentle and strong, almost invulnerable.
Until he brought Wendy back.
He became sensitive, irritable, and in a constant state of distress, often snapping at Tris because of Wendy and begging her for forgiveness in frustration.
He offered to let Wendy stay in Star Tribe, but he would not divorce Tris to marry her. He only could not resist the attraction of a Fated Mate and needed Wendy's company.
He was an Alpha, and he was famous, so no one objected.
Even though Tris was sad, she could only accept the fact.
Since that day, Victor had never slept with her again.
He stayed at Wendy's house every night, and the neighbors could hear Wendy's coquettish moans.
She also heard from others that Wendy kept telling people about Victor's sexual prowess, which always overwhelmed her so much that she couldn't get out of bed.
A year passed just like that. For the sake of the tribe and her love for Victor, Tris endured humiliation and never expressed any dissatisfaction.
Even so, on the night of the full moon, she was still ambushed after her soup was spiked.
The person who drugged her was Wendy!
Ever since she came to Star Tribe, she had never stopped trying to get rid of Tris.
On the surface, Wendy appeared docile and obedient, but behind Tris' back, Wendy had done many things to provoke her.
Seeing that Tris did not resist, Wendy even intensified her efforts to use Victor's prestige to win over the hearts of the tribespeople.
Finally, she tried to kill Tris.
"Don't... kill me..."
With intense hatred, Tris still chose to beg for mercy.
The past flashed through her mind in slow motion. She suddenly regretted that she had never resisted Wendy.
She could have used Luna's identity to suppress this b*tch!
She swore that she would teach Wendy a lesson as long as she survived.
She wanted this woman to know that she was not a Luna to be messed with!
