I hadn’t bothered asking about the exact date of Princess Morgana’s ball. After all, I hadn’t been invited anyway.
But Shane suddenly decided to hold an art exhibition at Silvermoon Pack, and he even chose the exact same day.
I couldn’t help asking, “Shane, when did you arrive? This can’t be a coincidence, can it?”
Shane smiled. “I arrived several days ago. I’ve been wandering around nearby. I didn’t want to hear your noisy chatter so soon after arriving.”
“What? You arrived and didn’t come see me right away? That’s outrageous!”
“Yeah. I didn’t come. Go ahead and cry about it,” Shane said with a grin as he clapped his hands lightly. But when he saw me staring at him unhappily, he sighed helplessly. “It’s because you never tell us anything that’s happening to you. So I had to look into things myself and see how you’ve actually been living. Even if you didn’t want us interfering, at the very least I had to know whether you were doing okay.”
His words made my chest tighten.
Back when my family suffered their tragedy, they also said they wanted to come help me. But I refused them.
I didn’t dare to let them come.
When someone is already hurting, the thing they fear most is sudden kindness.
I was afraid that if I saw them, I would no longer be able to stay strong.
I sniffed quietly and said in a choked voice, “Shane, don’t worry. I’m doing well now. Raymond has been found, so I have family again. And I’m about to become the Luna of Frostwind Pack. Prince Vance treats me very well.”
“Don’t worry. As long as we’re around, Samuel won’t dare bully you,” Shane snorted.
He said Samuel’s name very casually. “He’s a student of Ms. Livingston, but he only goes there for one month of concentrated training each year and rarely appears there outside that time. So you’ve probably never met him before.”

“Yeah, I didn’t even know he was my junior before this.”

As I said that, I started laughing, remembering how awkward Samuel looked when he refused to acknowledge me as his senior.
Shane tapped me lightly on the head. “What? Planning to show off your senior status in front of him? Let me tell you something. Ms. Livingston values that student very highly. You’re not allowed to bully him. And besides, the strongest person in the entire Moonlight Academy is him, not you. Yes, you’re talented and your alpha wolf spirit is powerful. But you’re lazy. He’s talented and hardworking. Even though he only trains there for one month every year, he’s still stronger than you.”
“Oh, I know that. I’ve already sparred with him. He really is stronger than me,” I said with a cheerful smile. Then I added, still smiling, “That’s good. It means he’ll be strong enough to protect me in the future.”
“You shameless brat. That part of your personality hasn’t changed at all,” Shane said, glancing at me sideways. After that, he didn’t say anything else.
Soon afterward, Pearl ran over as well and excitedly hugged Shane.
She went with me to Moonlight Academy back then. Even though she was called my maid in name, no one had ever treated her like a servant.
Everyone, including me, always treated her like my younger sister.
When Shane saw her, he nodded. “Pearl has grown taller too. And prettier.”
Pearl immediately smiled even more brightly, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Shane’s POV:
I watched Pearl and Laila exchange excited looks, Pearl’s face flushed red.
The sight reminded me of how they had been at Moonlight Academy. They had been confident and radiant, like the blazing sun of summer.
But now… I looked at Laila again.
She still acted playful and affectionate sometimes, just like before. But there was a quiet calmness in her eyes that hadn’t been there before.
Back when we were at Moonlight Academy, even the slightest grievance would make her complain loudly so the whole academy would know about it. She would run everywhere looking for someone to support her.
