Selene's POV:
I gritted my teeth in anger.
I knew there was nothing I could do against these two vicious women, so I had no choice but to swallow the insult and humiliation.
However, the thought that the necklace left behind by my deceased mother was being snatched away from me by Chloe, I almost lost control. I really wished I could tear the two women's faces apart and let them have a taste of their own medicine.
"Luna Debra, let's go. This bitch's room is so dirty. It's not worthy of your presence."
Chloe held Luna Debra's arm and left arrogantly, with the werewolves following them.
"Bitch, you won't get any food for the whole day tomorrow. That's what you get for pissing me off," she added before leaving.
Tomorrow would be my eighteenth birthday, but it turned out that I was going to starve the whole day.
Hatred bubbled up in my heart as I stared at their receding backs.
'One day, I'll make you pay for all the things that you've done to me!' I swore to myself. I went to shut the door, before picking up the empty wooden box lying on the floor. I carefully wiped off the dust on it with my apron, before crawling into bed with it in my arms.
Tears finally trickled down my cheeks.
That pearl necklace had been left to me by my mother, who had died years ago. Its presence comforted me whenever I thought about Beta Arthur's betrayal, my father's wrongful death, my brother's disappearance, and the way I was insulted and abused every day in the Night Howler Pack.
I wanted to do my best to become stronger so that I could get my revenge. But it seemed impossible.
'Selene, you will succeed one day.'
A voice echoed in my head, startling me out of my daze.
"Who's there?"
I asked out loud nervously.
'Selene, I'm Eva. I'm your wolf. Happy eighteenth birthday.'
'Eva, I can finally sense you!'
I cried, feeling a huge sense of relief.
It was not until now that I realized that it was past midnight.
I was officially eighteen years old, and my wolf showed up.
'From today on, I will always be with you.'
'Thank you, Eva. I won't be alone anymore.'
I couldn't help but smile at the thought.
'You are never alone. And soon, you will meet your mate.'
'Yeah, you're right! I'm an adult now. As soon as I get back the necklace my mother left to me, I'll leave this place to search for my mate.'
Finding my mate was something that I was really looking forward to.
I still remembered how much my parents loved each other.
For some reason, I had a feeling that my mate would also be good to me.
The wound on my hand still hurt, and thanks to Chloe, my quilt was damp.
I was curled up in bed in this pathetic condition.
Although I was cold and hungry, I fell asleep with bright expectations.
Early next morning, I went to Chloe's residence in the name of cleaning her house.
The pearl necklace she had snatched from me was very important to me, so I had to take it back at all costs.
After entering Chloe's house, I went straight to her bedroom.
The door was ajar, but there was no one inside.
Counting my lucky stars, I rushed in and rummaged through her dressing table as quickly as I could.
Unfortunately, I didn't find my pearl necklace.
But what I did find was the necklace that Chloe usually wore.
She had framed me and falsely accused me of stealing! And all along, her necklace was safe and sound in her jewelry box.
It turned out that the bitch had made trouble out of nothing.
I searched every inch and corner of her room, but I still couldn't find my pearl necklace.
Grunting in frustration, I left her bedroom to look for the necklace elsewhere.
I walked inward, wanting to try my luck in her closet.
The strong fragrance of lilies drifted towards me all of a sudden.
As I walked forward, the smell became stronger and stronger.
Somehow, as if by instinct, I knew that this was the smell of my mate. But who was he?
"No, I can't hold on anymore...Your dick is so big. It's so deep inside me!"
"You already can't hold on? Babe, it's just the beginning."
"Baby, fuck me! Drive me wild!"
The woman's lewd moans were accompanied by the sound of running water and the continuous sound of flesh slapping against flesh.
My heart leaped into my throat as I followed the fragrance and finally stopped at the door of the bathroom.
As soon as I saw the two people intertwined in the bathtub, I felt sick to my stomach.
They were so engrossed in what they were doing that they didn't notice my presence at all.
There were two werewolves having sex in the bathroom.
One of them was the vicious Chloe, and the other was the shameless Kevin.
Kevin would be the future Alpha.
He slept with a lot of women and harassed me from time to time.
I hated him to the core.
I never expected that he and Chloe would be together, but they were a perfect match.
Oh, my God! Was this jerk supposed to be my mate? Bile rose up my throat as I stared at the two of them with my feet rooted to the spot.
