For a long time, all that escaped my throat was a wisp of a laugh. I was speechless, with my wolf rendered so by anger. Ivy on the other end of the phone gasped, “You’re laughing? How can you laugh! The Winter Family is whitewashing Tanner, pinning all the dirt on you! Can you tolerate this?”
‘Bring on the same fierce confidence you had at the charity gala, and slap them hard!” she urged.“Take down these F**King bastards!”
She was cursing. This was the MoonCloud Pack’s top socialite, always sweet, elegant, and speaking in the soft Wu dialect.
I scoffed, “What if what she said is true? So much evidence… irrefutable evidence.”
‘Bullshit!” Ivy retorted. “I, Ivy Young, would stake my life on it -you, Sophia Wells; are absolutely not that kind of person!” Everyone in the circle knows Tanner’s true nature. Before, I thought Jason was enviable – Head Warrior, sexy, handsome, pure, and devoted. I even envied you. But ever since he got involved with Tanner, it’s like he fell into a cesspool; the stench is overwhelming, nauseating. His halo has completely fallen.”
‘And that so–called bonding agreement ten years ago? My Luna Goddess, they might as well say they were a couple of lovebirds in heir past lives!”
Ivy’s hatred spewed forth in a torrent of criticism.
In Ivy memory, Sophia’s presence was actually quite unique.
When we first met, Jason and Sophia were inseparable. He cherished her as the apple of his eye. We weren’t close friends, just acquaintances who occasionally exchanged resources, meeting with a degree of exaggerated warmth and pretense. But when my ife took a drastic turn, plummeting from grace, shunned by everyone, with former friends and relatives feigning ignorance or avoiding me, even taking the opportunity to step on me, it was Sophia who helped me.
I’ll never forget sitting in the snow, my phone in my hand, not knowing who else to call, feeling utterly hopeless, numbly dialing numbers in my contact list. My wolf and I were ready to die. Somehow, I called Sophia. She didn’t hang up, didn’t brush me off, patiently listened, and said she could help. Whether she could actually help at that point was irrelevant…
Those who help me in the snow are always trustworthy.
..end of Ivy’s memory.
I just let her vent, without saying much.

[vy became anxious, “Why aren’t you saying anything? If you’re afraid of them, I’ll go expose their ugly faces for you!”
No, don’t get involved with them!” I immediately stopped her. I let out a heavy sigh, “I can handle this myself. Thank you for speaking up for me. Believing in me… that’s enough.”
My situation had already implicated iny parents, Summer, and Xander. I didn’t want to drag anyone else down.
[vy opened her mouth to speak again, wanting to insist on helping, but she lost her nerve. What could she do against the Winter and Cooper families…?
‘So smart, even when you’re being used, you don’t need help,” she grumbled.
