Few people in the world irritated me to the point of making me seek revenge. Until then, only Hunter and Marilyn were on my list.
Could I ignore Fenrir’s pack, let the fact seeing me conquer each one of them.

they despised and hated me pass? I could, But nothing on this Earth would surpass the disgust of Marilyn

And besides, there was Selena. My sister needed a safe home, just like I did, and as long as Hunter wasn’t eliminated or I couldn’t break free from Fenrir, Dinest would need to serve both of us.
It had been just over a week since Hunters wolves had shown up, since the dear alpha decapitated them and took the heads home as a romantic gift for me.
In
e meantime, I had become more reclusive, recovering from the public humiliation Marilyn put me through. I reread my book a few more times, helped Nicoleta with her homework, and bathed in the lake, which had become my favorite part of the whole village. It was quiet, almost exclusive, since no one went there but me, and… it was the only place where I truly felt happy, in the entire village.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” I whispered to Alexandra as we made our way through the forest.
She scoffed.
“Some will still be hostile toward you,” she revealed, kicking a few leaves with the tip of her boot, making them float around us. “They don’t believe Manlyn ruined your cakes. She’s part of the pack, so between believing a wolf who arrived yesterday or one who’s been with them for years, what do you think?”
I hit my lower lip, pondering
“Still, it doesn’t make things better, I murmured.
ran away from the school, Alexandra and Mihaela spoke with all the mothers and claimed the cakes had been sabotaged. Alexandra even said she had tasted one and that it was delicious. It wasn’t true, but she saw Andrei taste it and love it.
However, some mothers preferred to keep avoiding me, ignoring me most of the time, while others greeted me, but the contact didn’t go beyond that.

For my part, I had already gotten over the situation. My only goal was to rise above all of this and then get revenge on Marilyn. The first part was already done, now the second remained.
And this was an excellent opportunity.
Earlier. Alexandra went to Fenrir’s house and invited me to accompany her. The females and pups from the village were going into the forest to show the little wolves how to find things by scent, using their sharp senses. They wouldn’t learn to hunt yet since they hadn’t gone through the transformation.
For a second, just a single second, I thought about refusing. My quota of humiliation was already used up. But then I remembered that, besides seeking revenge, I had my sister, and whether I liked it or not, the village was a good place for both of us…
She sighed.
I’m sorry Marilyn did what she did, I know how h
hard you
u worked in
to prepare those cakes.
I rubbed my sweaty neck, wiping the droplets away with my hand,
The day was hot, the sun rays infiltrating through the tall tree canopies burned my skin. If it weren’t for the commitment, I’d be at the lake, under the shade of a tree, reading my book between baths.
“I’ve gotten over .” I affirmed. She looked at m twear. I was really upset, but…….. now I just want to move on and try to earn their trust somehow. I don’t expect to be accepted, I just hope to be respected.”
“I could talk to Fenrir. If he shows any…….
good feelings toward you in front of them, they’ll learn to respect you.”
A bored laugh parted my lips.
“Easier to freeze bell-
