Chapter 4
- 【Sunna's POV】
- I put my few belongings in the car and drove to Hunterston Hall of Heroes.
- I decided to temporarily store my parents' ashes here, and when Simon and I completely broke up, I would take them back to our hometown for burial.
- From a distance, I saw many people gathered in front of the Hall of Heroes, with many enforcers from the Order Committee forming a circle outside the hall to keep unrelated people out.
- Only a few high-end cars were allowed in after showing something, and from those cars came dignified figures, clearly noble werewolves, walking into the Hall of Heroes.
- "Why are there so many cars? So many important figures. Did some extraordinary being pass away?"
- "Haven't you seen the news? It's Marcus-Kris, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack who passed away. They are going to hold a memorial ceremony soon!"
- "Oh my god! The Blood Moon Pack is a powerful pack second only to the royal family! Who will take over the Blood Moon Pack after Alpha Marcus?"
- "Other than that lunatic Soren-Kris, who else could it be?"
- "Watch your mouth! If he hears you, you're dead!"
- As I got out of the car and approached, I heard many people discussing, and then I understood what was going on.
- A black-robed enforcer noticed me trying to squeeze in and stopped me with his hand: "Only those with an invitation to the ceremony can enter. Others are not allowed in!"
- I said to him, "I just want to store my parents' ashes."
- He glanced at the urn in my hand, covered with a flag, and looked hesitant. In the end, he shook his head, "Sorry, you'll have to wait until the ceremony is over."
- At that moment, a black car stopped beside me, and the rear window rolled down. A voice came from inside the car, "With the flag on it, it must be a warrior who sacrificed for the country. Let her in."
- The voice was calm but filled with unquestionable authority and dominance. When it sounded, the noisy crowd seemed to freeze - it was absolute awe.
- My wolf Diana immediately sent me a dangerous warning, proving that the person was an extremely dangerous presence.
- I looked at the owner of that voice: dressed in all black, with a strong and angular face, and a pair of hawk-like eyes.
- These are a pair of beautiful yet aggressive eyes, the kind of calm aggression that naturally dominates everything.
- I recognized him at a glance, the "madman" that people around me talked about: Soren Chris.
- I've heard some ridiculous things about this young top noble, so I, like everyone else around me, was very surprised by the kindness he showed.
- "Thank you."
- I thanked him and expressed my condolences for his loss, then entered the Hall of Heroes.
- Guided by the staff, I found a quiet spot to store my parents' ashes.
- "Mom, Dad, please wait, I'll take you back to our hometown soon. By then, I'll find my brother and we'll worship you together."
- I gently touched the urn and whispered to my parents.
- Yes, I have a brother, a warrior who disappeared five years ago during a mission on the border and has been missing ever since.
- Over the years, I have tried to find out about him through various channels, but to no avail. I plan to bury my parents and then head to the border to find out what happened to my brother.
- He is the only family I have left in this world.
- Since I didn't have a place to stay temporarily, I contacted my best friend Layla.
- Upon hearing about my situation, this noblewoman from the Beta family was extremely angry: "They can't even accommodate your parents' ashes? This family is simply pure animals! Breaking up with Simon was the right thing to do!"
- Compared to Simon's family, Layla was more aware of my role in the Sky Pack and Sky Group: "What a joke, the Alpha of the Sky Pack. He's enjoying the limelight now, but when you really leave, he'll realize he's nothing without you! I spit on him! Simon, and that bitch Caroline, they will die a miserable death sooner or later!"
- After cursing for a while, she hugged me tightly: "I'm sorry about your parents, don't be too sad. I think they would want you to be happy. Let's go, it's a good thing you're single again, we should celebrate. Today, I'll treat you to everything!"
- Layla is truly a great friend - especially compared to Simon's family. All day, she took me to all the high-end malls, splurged on buying me lots of clothes and accessories, and then took me to a fancy restaurant for dinner.
- As soon as we sat down, we heard my name mentioned in the laughter at the table behind us.
- "AlphaSimon, don't you think it's time to break up with that Sunna? How dare she, a low-class, take Luna's place in the Sky Pack?"
- "Yeah, if it weren't for you feeding her, she would have starved long ago. Only a noble-born and extremely talented werewolf like Caroline deserves the position of Luna in the Sky Pack. What qualifications does Sunna have to compare with Caroline?"
- "We're all waiting for AlphaSimon to unite with his true soulmate and invite us to the wedding, haha!"
- The tables in this restaurant were well spaced out, and Layla and I were sitting with our backs to them, so the people at the table behind us didn't notice us.
- Of course, even if they had noticed, I think they would have said the same thing, because I recognized one of the voices as belonging to Charlie, a friend of Simon's whom he trusted a lot - Charlie never respected me.
- Layla had a quick temper, and upon hearing those words, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and slammed the table, ready to confront them.
- Diana also chimed in, "It's time to teach these despicable guys a lesson!"
- I stopped Layla, saying, "They're talking about me, I'll handle it myself!"
- With that, I stood up, took my glass, and walked over to Simon's table, saying, "You just mentioned wanting to toast to Simon and Caroline's wedding. Well, no need to wait, I'll treat you all right now. Cheers!"
- As soon as I said that, the lively atmosphere instantly fell silent.
