Divorce was impossible.
Victor had relied on Tris to become the Alpha of the tribe. Although the tribe loved him, the Alpha had just passed away. If he divorced Tris for another woman now, all the tribespeople would accuse him of being ungrateful and heartless!
Moreover, Wendy had just arrived at the tribe and had no authority. Even if the tribespeople sympathized with her, they would never agree to allow her to become the new Luna.
Her status was low, and she did not have any admirable fighting strength.
Victor initially only wanted to let Wendy stay by his side so that the tribespeople would slowly accept her.
As for Tris, he would maintain an intimate relationship with her.
However, who would have thought that Tris would ask for a divorce when she spoke her mind!
Tris looked at Victor seriously, "Darling, I know how you feel about me, but that's different from how you feel about your Fated Mate. I understand you very well. You must have already expected this outcome when you brought Wendy back today. In that case, why don't we be honest with each other..."
Victor was anxious.
What honesty? What outcome did he expect? He could not get a divorce!
Wendy was stunned before she suddenly understood what Tris was planning. She clenched her fists and watched as Victor, who was in a dilemma because of her, begged Tris not to get a divorce. She knew that Tris had done it on purpose!
Women understood women the best. Wendy looked up, as if she could see the contempt and mockery in Tris' eyes.
Wendy didn't get it. Didn't Victor say that Tris was a pushover?
She already had a plan for how she was going to get rid of Tris.
When she came to the tribe, she would take the initiative to get close to Tris, and the noble and aloof Tris would certainly not want to talk to her and avoid her. Then, she could tell the others that Tris was treating her coldly and contemptuously.
However, Wendy did not expect that Tris was such a cunning and detestable woman!
She must have deceived Victor for so many years!
Wendy was not a fool. She immediately knelt, and her tears fell like pearls. "It's all my fault. I was the one who caused the Alpha and the Luna to be on bad terms. Don't divorce Victor. I don't need any status. I'll be satisfied if you allow me to stay by Victor's side. Honorable Luna, I will be your servant. I can wash your clothes and cook for you. Please don't divorce Victor!"
When it came to pretending to be pitiful, Wendy was much more skilled than Tris.
With just a few words, she had shown her humble fear. No one could blame her at all.
Tris had already expected this scene.
She walked forward and helped Wendy up. She said sincerely, "I know you're a sensible and good girl, but... This is between Victor and me. It has nothing to do with you."
'So don't get involved. You don't have the right to decide what happens between Victor and me.'
"I'll get someone to take you to the room next to Victor's residence. Your clothes, food, and accommodation will all be of the same standard as mine. I'll move out in a few days. Victor, you should think about the divorce again."
Hearing that, Wendy knelt and begged again.
Let her stay next to Victor? Was Tris going to convince the entire tribe that she was the one who stole her man?
But Wendy did not manage to kneel.
Tris held her arm firmly and held her up steadily. She even smiled and smoothed her hair. She looked extremely intimate and kind as if the two of them were long-lost sisters.
But Wendy saw the chill in Tris' eyes that made her tremble.
Tris looked at her enemy, but her smile did not diminish.
As someone who had died once, she understood the meaning of 'forbearance'. Now was not the time to be impulsive.
"Alright, this matter is decided for now. Victor, as a man, you have to protect your Fated Mate. As for me, you don't have to feel sorry for me. Just follow your heart's choice," Tris said. After deliberately ending the tribal council meeting, she seemed sorrowful and determined.
Everyone sympathized with Tris.
What a pitiful woman. After her husband brought his Fated Mate back, she voluntarily withdrew.
The noble and proud Luna must not be willing to share the Alpha with another woman.
They understood Luna's choice, so they sympathized with her suffering.
After announcing the separation, Tris heaved a sigh of relief and planned to leave.
Victor walked over and tried to hold her hand. "Darling, listen to me..."
Tris skillfully avoided Victor's hand and turned to look at him with tears in her eyes. "Victor, I give you my blessing..."
With that, she left without looking back.
After Tris left, she felt extremely refreshed.
A divorce? She wanted to, but Victor would never dare to divorce.
Many of the elders were his father's old subordinates, and they would never agree to Victor destroying Luna for the sake of a slave.
So, the next problem would be Victor and Wendy's to solve!
