Third Person’s POV
Vivian arrived at Shadowfang Academy dressed in a carefully crafted “innocent” look. She had deliberately chosen to confront Seraphina in a public place, clearly hoping to sway public opinion.
“Seraphina, I didn’t know where you lived. One of your colleagues told me you’d come back to teach at Shadowfang Academy, so I had no choice but to wait here before dawn.”
The cold had turned Vivian’s nose bright red. Combined with her elegant white designer coat, pitiful tone, and carefully chosen words, she looked every bit the helpless victim.
“Do you need something?” Seraphina asked coolly.
She made no move to leave. Since Vivian wanted audiences, Seraphina, as the rightful Luna of the Blade pack, was more than happy to give her some.
“Did you come here to beg me because your mother was arrested for abusing Dash?”
She deliberately released a trace of her Luna aura, projecting her voice so everyone nearby could hear. In front of the teachers and students around them, she laid Vivian’s intentions bare.
The moment she finished speaking, students walking across campus stopped in their tracks.
With their sharp hearing, every word had reached them loud and clear. Countless curious eyes immediately turned toward
Vivian.
“She looked familiar. Isn’t she that Omega influencer who’s always chasing after Alpha Mortimer but can’t even get into the Blade pack’s territory?”
“It really is her. Smearing Seraphina on social media wasn’t enough? Now she’s here bothering her in person?”
“She’s obviously putting on an act. Look at that outfit. She’s probably trying to play the innocent victim again and frame our
Luna.”
“Did you forget yesterday’s viral video? The woman abusing Dash in the faculty housing complex was her mother.”
“How does she have the nerve to come looking for Seraphina? She came here so conspicuously, it’s like she wanted everyone to recognize her.”
Hearing the whispers all around her, Seraphina couldn’t help smiling.
No one admitted to Shadowfang Academy lacked basic judgment. Especially not when the Blade pack’s PR team had pinned every scandal involving Vivian’s family across every major social media platform.
Coming to a university campus looking for sympathy had been a remarkably foolish move.
Seraphina looked over at Vivian, who was already staring back at her.
Vivian’s fingers dug into the hem of her coat as the pitiful expression she’d worked so hard to maintain nearly cracked.
She really had dressed this way to manipulate public opinion. She had even planned to make carefully worded accusations in front of the students, hoping to ruin Seraphina’s reputation on campus.
Instead, before she could say a single word, Seraphina had completely shut her down by bringing up Dash.
“Seraphina, I know what my mother did was wrong. It was unforgivable. I don’t even have the right to beg you.” A perfectly timed tear rolled down her cheek.
She really was talented at using an Omega’s natural vulnerability to her advantage.

Even Seraphina had to admit that if she were Mortimer, blinded by the same prejudice he once had, she probably would’ve found it hard to see Vivian upset. Any movie director would cast her as the innocent heroine.
“Then why are you here?”
Vivian sniffled and slowly walked toward Seraphina.
Her rank was far below Seraphina’s. The faint pressure from Seraphina’s Luna aura made her legs weak. She could only look up
at her with pleading eyes.
