In a silent forest, I sat on a thick branch, swinging my legs casually, and found my eyes hurting from looking at the wedding poster of a seemingly matching couple on the phone screen beside me.
"Amelia, are you sure you want to go today?" The beautiful werewolf lady Lydia sitting next to me tugged at my clothing, trying to persuade me not to act impulsively for the time being.
"Why not today? How interesting would it be if Sally found her meticulously prepared wedding in a mess." I curled my lips, deleted the photos from my phone, and tightly pulled at the black cloak I was wearing, feeling elated at the thought of what was about to happen.
Three years have passed, Sally, Jack, I'm back, get ready for my revenge.
"Then I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain tonight, I'll take you in, be careful with everything." Lydia sighed helplessly, waved his hand as if giving up on persuading, and jumped down from the tree first, heading towards the outer edge of the forest.
"Of course." I raised my eyebrows and followed suit, landing steadily on the ground.
Lydia is the Omega of the Chi Shui tribe. A year ago, she was kidnapped by several werewolves from the Lou Lan tribe from the Chi Shui tribe, who wanted to rape her. Unable to resist the crowd, she had no choice but to jump off the same cliff from which I was thrown down.
At that time, I was practicing in the mountains when I saw someone fall and instinctively caught her with magic. After Lydia realized that I had saved her, she has always wanted to help me in some way to repay the favor. Knowing that Lydia is a werewolf from the Chi Shui tribe, I had her tell me some information about their kind.
It was also then that I learned that Omega has a low status among werewolves, which is why Lydia is not well-regarded within the tribe. Many werewolves bully her, which is why the Lou Lan tribe dared to abduct her. Therefore, Lydia, having found a friend so rarely, often climbed down the mountain to chat with me, though we mostly met at the bottom of the cliff because she was afraid that her mother-in-law and others would be angry if they saw a werewolf.
She knew about the disputes I had with the Alpha of the Chi Shui tribe, wanting to deal with Jack and Sally, but she still chose to help me. In her words, an unreachable and proud Alpha is not as important as having one's own friends, and anyway, she is destined to be bullied within the tribe.
Lydia told me that Jack and Sally are going to have a wedding recently, what a coincidence, enemies becoming a couple, such a good opportunity that I wouldn't miss.
After sending off Lydia, I still had preparations to make. I picked up my phone and dialed a number, "Dave, have you found the information I asked you to look for?"
"Miss, don't you check what time it is now." The person on the other end spoke in a particularly vague manner, clearly not very awake.
"It's already 7 o'clock now." I couldn't understand why the other person always sounded like they hadn't woken up.
I performed several surgeries last night and didn't go to bed until very late," Dave replied somewhat helplessly, but she quickly became serious, "I found what you asked for, but dealing with werewolves is not easy. If she goes berserk, it would be hard for you to leave.
"Don't worry, I'm not getting involved; I'm just sharing these materials with the Wolf clan for their enjoyment. Don't worry, nothing will happen." I irritably picked at my ear; Dave was too talkative. On normal days, he could go on for a long time over a trivial matter, and now he was even harder to stop. If there wasn't really no one else to help, I wouldn't have let Dave know about my plan.
After saying this, I hung up the phone promptly, went back into the house, took out a human skin mask I had made before, placed it on my face, and applied a special potion. Soon, I watched the stunning beauty in the mirror fade into a more common face. I tugged at my cheeks; it was good, completely undetectable as a mask.
Nightfall came quickly. After getting ready and wearing the gown Lydia brought for me, we arrived at the entrance of the banquet together.
The wedding of the two was held at a five-star hotel in the city center, with guests not only from the werewolf community but also some unsuspecting humans. After all, werewolves have considerable investments in human society, and many people came to curry favor. With Lydia's invitation, we quickly blending in.
"Lydia, where did you go, come over here so I can introduce you to this promising young gentleman." As soon as we entered, we were stopped by a lady dressed in elegance and grace, who insistently wanted to take Lydia's hand.
"Mommy, I have something to take care of later." Lydia looked at me with some concern several times.
What could be more important than me?
But...
Lydia wanted to struggle a bit more, but she was pulled away forcefully by her mother.
Seeing Lydia's walking away, I breathed a sigh of relief. I was originally worried that if my plan failed, it would have dragged Lydia into trouble, but now that she's gone, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I fiddled with then gorgeous hem of my dress, which I wasn't accustomed to after wearing simple skirts for three years.
Unaccustomed, I retrieved a disk from a small pocket specially sewn into my sleeve and began to walk towards the control room, avoiding the crowd.
After searching for two floors and still not finding the control room, I complained in impatience, 'Why does this place have to be so large?'
There seemed to be no one on the third floor, the empty corridor had nothing, and I began to suspect that I had made a mistake again. I tightened my fist in anxiety, the wedding was about to start, and I needed to hurry.
"Jack, the wedding is about to start, why are you still here?" I was about to turn the corner when I suddenly heard an excited voice from the side that startled me, and I quickly hid in an unlocked side door. As soon as I entered the room, I saw two figures coming from the corner to the spot where I had just been.
Through the crack of the door that wasn't tightly closed, I saw Jack in a white suit outside and couldn't help but relax, thinking that I had dodged an encounter.
Three years have passed, and Jack hasn't changed much; he still gives off that cold and unfriendly vibe.
"Hurry up and go to the hall with me, Sally has been looking for you for a long time." Only then did I notice that the other man was also an acquaintance, Walker in a black suit, who grabbed Jack's hand to pull him along, but in the next moment, Jack shook off his hand with a light laugh.
It's just someone my father wants me to marry for an alliance, why are you taking it so seriously?
"What did you say?" As Jack's words fell, an enraged Walker shouted at Jack, his hand instantly turning into a pair of black claws and reaching for Jack. Jack didn't even transform his hand into claws, he directly blocked Walker's attack with his hand and pushed Walker back with great force, causing him to collide harshly with the wall next to him.
In the corner, Walker gave Jack a dark look, but quickly resumed his cynical smile and switched his gesture back, jokingly saying, "Jack, you're not still blaming me for that woman who ran away, are you? You're the one who doesn't believe in such things the most. The benefits of our two clans' union are not small, and when the time comes, our two clans will be the strongest presence in the werewolf tribe."
"No, I just don't like being arranged," Jack said, then looked in my direction and led the way to the stairs, with Walker teasing him and following with a smile.
It was quite some time before I came out of the room after making sure they had left.
It seems Jack is not that willing to be with Sally either, quite interesting. But who is the woman who ran away that she was talking about? That look Jack gave me just now was too obvious, as if he could see right through me. I need to be more careful.
I tucked the bangs that had fallen in front of my face behind my ear, and took a few more steps forward, fortunately not getting lost this time. The control room is just a little ahead.
I opened the door to the control room and threw in the knockout drug, the staff inside didn't even have time to turn around before they passed out. I entered the control room and locked the door, looking down from the glass of the control room, it was still not too late as the wedding had not started yet. I quickly connected the USB drive to the huge screen in the hall.
The show is starting.
"Lord, we come before you, witnessing the blessing of this couple entering the sacred hall of marriage. According to your will, the two become one, proceeding with the wedding to spend their lives together, enduring as long as the earth and sky last; From now on, they will walk the path of heaven together, loving, assisting, teaching, and trusting each other; May the blessings of the Heavenly Father fill their home; Let the couple both enjoy the great grace; May the Holy Spirit inspire; Reverently loving the Savior; Praising before the Lord for life." The priest recited the usual pre-wedding words calmly, with both the stage and the audience listening quietly.
Sally looked at the man opposite her with a smiling face full of affection, but Jack maintained his usual cold expression as if he were attending a funeral, but this did not affect the proceedings.
Everything was going smoothly, until.
Oh no, look at this.
My God, is this the bride?
Unbelievable.
The usually solemn and sacred atmosphere under the wedding stage was suddenly disrupted by the growing murmurs of the crowd, and some even pointed directly at the screen behind Sally.
Sally felt something was wrong; when she turned around, the screen that originally displayed her wedding photo with Jack now showed pictures of her in compromising positions with different men.
Even though some of the photos were misaligned, it was still clear that the two were very intimate in their actions.
"Who did this, turn this off right now." Dressed in a luxuriant and sacred wedding dress, Sally could no longer maintain the so-called elegance, and the staff nearby quickly went to the control room on the third floor to try to turn off the screen, but it was too late.
All the guests had seen these photos, and even if they turned off the screen, it couldn't make up for it.
"Jack, let me explain." Sally tried to take Jack's arm, but he evaded her and walked down the stage alone.
"Jack." Sally was still shouting stubbornly.
I, who was watching the scene at the door, put away my phone that was recording video, planning to leave, but suddenly noticed someone walking towards me with clear intent.
I slightly turned my head and saw that Jack was actually walking straight towards me.
Damn, he wouldn't have found something, would he?
Not daring to stay longer, I quickly got on a taxi that had just arrived and left for the city's boundary, as it was easier to return to Wang Valley from there.
After paying and getting off the car, I hadn't walked a few steps when I suddenly felt a sharp aura coming from beside me.
