Chapter 81: How Much Do You Know?

Evelyn’s POV

“Don’t worry about those details,” Luna Selena patted my arm. “What’s importants that you continue your training, no matter what happens next.

Her expression grew serious. “Pack relations are deteriorating. The Rogue Wolf King is gathering strength in the shadows, attempting to control all

territories.”

She straightened in her chair. “We’ve had several border skirmishes lately. Normally, this wouldn’t raise alarms – packs squabble all the time. But our investigation revealed these aren’t from neighboring packs, but an outside force sting our defenses and response times. That’s why we have so many warriors patrolling and gathering intel.”

“What does any of this have to do with me?” I asked, completely lost. “I’m just a rookie in Sentinel training without even a mark yet. What impact could a sixteen-year-old possibly have?”

“Your abilities exceed your own understanding, she replied, her silver-gray eyes dashing strangely. “You’ve developed extraordinary talents far too early. leaving even us uncertain how to respond. You’re progressing so quickly that the oddess guided us to keep you under the radar until the time was right.

When she decided you were ready, she led us to Polaris City and arranged that trial for you.”

She studied my face. “You truly don’t realize how much you impressed us during selection, do you?”

I shook my head, feeling overwhelmed by everything she was telling me.

“You confirmed what Adam and Isabella long suspected. Among seasoned warrior with years of training, your small frame outperformed every challenger. No favoritism – pure skill and instinct. Then you shocked us again by connecting with your wolf at fourteen. That’s when Nathan and I knew you were

exceptional.”

Her voice softened. “Nathan has his own theories and wants to talk with you privately before dinner. But for now, let’s set aside the heavy stuff and prepare

your armor for tonight’s battle with the elders.”

She clapped her hands, and several Omegas appeared, quickly transforming the room with rows of stunning dresses, a changing area, and a massive gilded mirror. The scene reminded me of my birthday, stirring up a bittersweet feeling. missed Nadia, Elliot, and the boys, wishing I could tell them everything in

person instead of vanishing in chaos.

“Why so quiet suddenly?” Selena asked, noticing my shift in mood.

“This reminds me of my birthday,’ I admitted. “Nadia dragged me shopping while Elliot and the guys waited outside, pretending to be annoyed but actually

being sweet about it.”

I was a Sentinel trainee now I shouldn’t indulge in this kind of sentiment Sucvakness could get me killed in real danger. I straightened my shoulders, looking up to find Lona Selena watching me with a knowing smile.

Perhaps you need some familiar elements, and your friend’s opinion.

The door burst open, and a familiar figure rushed in Thear someone’s attending royal banquet without inviting me to help choose the outfit! Is this

treason?”

“Nadia!” I gasped. “What are you doing here? (1)

“Don’t look so shocked. I’m your official fashion consultant,’ she said, chin lifted roudly Maybe not as lancy as having a prince escort, but I’m the true style expert here.”

Chapter 81: How Much Do You Know?

Under their guidance, I tried on dress after dress. The room filled with laughter time slipped away. We finally settled on a stunning gown a deep jade silk that made my smoky blue eyes pop and complemented my training-tanned skin.

The material was light and flowed beautifully with movement. Its design accentuated the muscle tone Id developed from training. The high neckline featured delicate silver embroidery forming moon and star patterns around the neck and shoulders, cleverly extending to partially hide some scars. The back was covered with semi-transparent jade chiffon adorned with tiny crystals that caught the light like stars.

When dealing with people who only care about appearances,” Nadia winked, you need to beat them at their own game. Look flawless, but unlike them, you’ve got substance underneath that’s real power.”

Just as we finished, a steady knock came at the door.

“Are all ladies decent in there?” Alpha King Nathan called, his deep voice tinged with humor. ‘I’d hate to cause any awkward situations.”

Didn’t I already tell you through our mind-link that you could come in?” Selena ughed. “This stubborn old man is always so careful,” she added under her breath.

With age comes wisdom, Nathan said as he entered, smiling gently. Those without daughters don’t understand proper timing after dress selection.”

He walked to his wife and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. The gesture reminded me of Adam and Isabella’s warm interactions – one of the few genuinely loving relationships 1 d witnessed in Polaris City.

Nathan straightened and turned to me. “Before you start preparing for tonight, could I borrow some of your time? We need to discuss certain matters privately.”

I nodded, thanked Luna Selena sincerely, then promised Nadia we’d talk about school arrangements later before following Nathan out.

We walked silently down a corridor decorated with ancient tapestries until we reached a massive glass door. Attendants opened it for us, revealing bright sunlight and an enormous terrace spanning this entire side of the castle. Its left side connected naturally with the mountain while the right extended in a half-moon shape, offering a breathtaking view of the landscape below.

Nathan led me down cleverly designed stone steps to a perfectly manicured lawn bordered by colorful flowers, with ancient oaks casting shadows in the distance. As we continued walking, the tension built. We’d been walking nearly ten minutes without a word.

Ahead stood tall hedge walls forming an intricate maze. When we entered and quickly turned right, I was surrounded by green walls Nathan could easily see over, but I could not.

“Sorry for all the secrecy,” he said, his voice solemn in the quiet. “I’m concerned about eavesdroppers. These hedges were grafted with wolfsbane, which weakens sound transmission. Even with my Alpha King hearing, I can’t penetrate this natural barrier. Our conversation will remain private here.”

“So that’s it!’ I sighed with relief. “I thought I was in trouble. Pretty clever design who knew plant grafting could do that?”

I think you can guess where this idea came from,’ his eyes twinkled.

“Dr. Harrison and Dr. Diana definitely have some unique creativity,” I smiled, remembering Nadia s descriptions of her parents.

‘Indeed. They discovered this property during an expedition and applied it here. This natural sound insulation works better than artificial barriers in conference rooms, and its nearly impossible to plant listening devices in a maze where people move while talking.”

“Honestly.” I admitted, “when you brought me to this secluded, soundproof place, got a little nervous. Did I mess up somehow?*
