Chapter 8
Cara’s POV
What…?
I froze, startled by the heat behind his words.
He leaned in, close enough that his breath brushed my lips–seductive, dangerous. But his voice? Ice cold. “Don’t waste your dreams on me. I’ll never touch you. The one I love… is
Lucy.”
The one he loves is Lucy.
He didn’t have to say it. I already knew.
Still, it felt like a swarm of bees had taken up residence in my chest, stinging me over and
over. Not deep, but everywhere.
Then a sweet, melodic voice broke through the tension.
“Arthur.”
I looked up.
Lucy had arrived.
Arthur let go of me like I burned him.
In two long strides, he was by her side. His lashes lowered as he looked at her, and for the first time… I saw warmth in his eyes.
“You’re here,” he said, voice soft.
Lucy nodded, then looked past him. Her gaze fell on me. “And who’s this?”

She didn’t recognize me.
Of course not.
But I had never forgotten her.
Because Latcy wasn’t just Arthur’s ex, or my rival.
She was the girl who took my place.
Technically, we shared no blood.
Different fathers. Different mothers.
David wasn’t my biological father–he was my uncle. My stepfather.
Once upon a time, I had a real family. A warm one. My father, Mark Johnson, adored me. “My daughter must grow up happy,” he’d say as he lifted me high into the air.
Then one day, my father died.
And David Johnson, my uncle, moved in. Along with his daughter–Lucy.
My mother remarried David. From that day on, everything changed.
When Lucy finally called my mother “mom,” her whole face lit up with joy.
But Lucy had conditions.
“A mom can only have one daughter.”
That same night, in the pouring rain, my mother drove me to the countryside…….
“Lucy,” Andy jogged over, breathless. “That’s your sister–Cara.”
Lucy blinked. “You’re… Cara?”
I didn’t respond. But I could see it.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
As children, she had always looked down on me–dismissed me, mocked me.
I was once the awkward shadow in her spotlight. And Lucy? The flawless flower raised in luxury and praise, fated to be Luna, courted by Silver Moon’s prized Alpha, Arthur.
Andy whispered, awestruck, “Damn… I didn’t expect Cara to look that good.”
Lucy tilted her chin, surveying me with a practiced air of superiority. Her voice dripped disdain. “Wow, Cara. I didn’t think you’d stoop to copying my style.”
I gave a short, dry laugh and couldn’t even be bothered to waste a word on her.
Lucy stepped closer, lips curled. “I heard you and Arthur are getting a divorce. Is that why you went to that bar? Couldn’t handle being alone, so you paid for male dancers to fawn over you? If I were you, I’d go get a job.”
She turned to Arthur, tossing her hair with a scoff. “Arthur, since she nursed you for so long, maybe you could help her find work. A nanny job, maybe? Or cleaning?”
Arthur’s gaze slid toward me. Something unreadable passed through his expression.
Andy chimed in with mock concern. “Lucy, even low–level jobs need credentials. What’s
Cara’s education again?”
Lucy smiled, a cruel glint in her eyes. “Oh, that’s right… She dropped out at sixteen.”
“Sixteen?” Andy’s eyes widened in disbelief.
In our elite social circle, Lucy wasn’t just admired for her beauty–she was praised for her brilliance. Top of her class since childhood, armed with elite academy credentials, she was the darling of every aristocratic gathering in the coastal city. Among nobles, no she–wolf shone brighter.
She really was perfect for Arthur.
After all, beauty alone meant little in our world. In the upper echelons, a woman’s worth

was measured by more than her face. A pretty girl with no degree? Just a doll. But a
beautiful woman with brains? A queen.
Whatever little admiration Andy had for me evaporated. His tone dripped with disdain.
“You seriously dropped out at sixteen?”

His heart skipped. Just once.
Arthur suddenly realized–my eyes were beautiful. Not just pretty. Alive. Intelligent. Almost… defiant.
“Cara!” Cathy burst in, storming down the corridor with fire in her eyes. Her gaze zeroed in on Lucy, “Lucy, are you picking on her again?”
Lucy lifted her chin, full of grace and self–righteousness. “Not at all. We were trying to help her. Even offered her a job.”
Cathy blinked. “You… what?”
Lucy beamed with faux kindness. “Of course. Cara may not have a degree or credentials, but we’ll do our best to find her soinething appropriate.”
Cathy just stared for a moment. Then snorted in disbelief.
“You people… have no idea who you’re dealing with. Cara is-”
I gently reached out and pulled her back.
“Cathy. Let’s go.”
She bit her tongue, but not before throwing Lucy a withering look.
“One day, this will come back to bite you.”
And with that, we walked away–shoulders straight, heads high.
Third POV
Andy scowled. “What the hell is wrong with her? If I had dropped out at sixteen, I’d hide my
face in the mud, not go strutting around like I’m somebody.”
Lucy wasn’t angry.
To her, I had never even qualified as a rival. Getting mad at me would’ve been beneath her.

She turned to Andy with a cool smile.
“Let it go. The ignorant fear not
Andy sneered. “Bro, just sign the damn divorce already. She’s so far beneath you it’s insulting.”
Arthur’s face remained unreadable.
He glanced sideways at Lucy. “Let’s go.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
The three of them turned and walked out.
Outside the bar, a voice rang out.
“Arthur?!”
Arthur looked up and raised his brows in surprise.
It was someone he knew,
“Principal Mortimer?”
He stepped forward immediately.
Mortimer, the headmaster of the world–renowned Wolf Combat University, greeted him
with a warm smile.
“Arthur! I’m in the coastal city for a seminar. What luck running into you. Your little junior
is here too.”
Arthur paused. “Little junior?”
Mortimer laughed.
“Yes, yes, Our university has birthed only two legends. The first–you. The second? Your

junior. Just like you, the earned deal master’s degrees at sixteen. A genin–level intellect Unfortunately, you two missed each other by a few years–you wouldn’t have met.”
Andy practically vibrated with curiosity.
“Whoa! My bro has a little junior like that? Who’s stronger–her or my bro?
Mortimer looked at Arthur, then smiled knowingly.
“Evenly matched”
Arthur’s brows twitched upward.
He’d never met a she wolf he’d consider his equal.. until now.
Lucy stood quietly at his side, stunned.
She’d never heard of Arthur having a junior who could rival him. And while she hadn’t felt threatened by me before, this so–called genius little junior?
Suddenly, Lucy felt something she hadn’t in a long time–unease.
And jealousy.
Who the hell was this little junior?
