Chapter 47
At that moment, Emily spoke up,“Jared, let me try.
I know a skilled Rune–reader; I’ll ask him.”
My wolf snarled, a low rumble in my chest.
That manipulative she–wolf.*
Jared, already annoyed, perked up at her words.
“Really?”
Emily nodded emphatically, then confidently said, “Actually, I saw him in contact with Isabella; he might have taught her the skills.
I’ll reach out to him and learn how to fix it.
Even if I’m not as good as Isabella, I can still ask him to help us.”
*Lies.
She’s just trying to undermine me.* My claws extended slightly, retracted as quickly as they came.
Jared was excited.
“Good, good, good! I knew my Emily is better than that ungrateful brat! She’s so secretive! Knowing such a talented Rune–reader and not trying to bring him into the pack, just thinking about hiding him away!”
His wolf’s arrogance was almost palpable.
Hearing him insult me, Emily couldn’t help but smirk with satisfaction.
Soon, Jared would realize which sister was truly better!
My own wolf growled, a challenge simmering beneath the surface.
*We’ll see about that.*
Lucy was tutoring me.
The more she taught, the more she realized I was genuinely smart! As a top student, I grasped everything quickly; after reviewing half a semester’s worth of material, I had it down!
Suddenly, my mind–link chimed.
I paused my note–taking, glanced at the mental image of the incoming message, and answered.
“Hello?”
“Luna Isabella, what happened? Why did your pack contact me to repair the Rune–stones?”
I twirled my pen, my previously tense face suddenly relaxing into a smile.

My wolf stretched, a wave of relief washing over me.
Freedom.”
“Because I quit the pack.”
“Oh…what?” David exclaimed.
His surprise was evident through the mind–link.
It was no wonder he was shocked; Jared treated me poorly, not only making me do menial tasks but also stripping me of my official pack member status, which nearly drove him mad! But I’d always said they were family, that I owed Emily’s brother a debt.
Now I’d quit! He didn’t even hang up, immediately broadcasting to those around him, “Stop everything; prepare the celebratory Howls! I’m going to lead them at the entrance of the King Pack!”
“That’s excessive,” I chuckled.
My wolf let out a happy yelp in response, vibrating my bones with joy.
