After several days without any response from Alpha Darren, who usually always concedes first, Daniella wrote an apology letter addressed to him, signed by the Alpha, to end their argument. At that moment, Daniella felt so heartbroken, and now, she realized that such a method could still work. If she could persuade Alpha to sign another "apology letter," maybe that would be the way out.
"I will earn recognition as a great healer with my own abilities—I will not depend on you," Daniella declared with a humorously challenging tone. Alpha chuckled, thinking that Daniella was just being stubborn. "Good, that will save me from trouble. But don't cry to me when no one recognizes your talent. You might end up begging for my help just to be introduced as the greatest healer," he teased while lying down and pulling the blanket over his body.
Daniella's lips were tightly sealed, she realized that behind his words, the Alpha harbored a tone of condescension and indifference. In a firm tone, Daniella replied, "I will not beg you. In fact, I want you to sign the consent letter for me."
"Approval letter? What approval letter?" Alpha Darren stood up, took a piece of paper, and carefully read its contents this time, which were as follows:
[From this moment on, Daniella Russell and Darren Owen must maintain strict boundaries. Daniella is fully responsible for her own actions and will not hold anyone or any pack accountable. In any situation, and in any matter, Daniella will not involve anyone. All consequences will be borne by Daniella herself. Signed: Darren Owen.]
While placing the letter and pen in front of him, Daniella tried to calm her trembling hand, which was wet with sweat. "Sign it. You will not be harmed by anything I will do. Isn't it fair?" Alpha squinted his eyes. There is something about Daniella's behavior today that feels strange and somewhat awkward, but not enough to cause him concern.
"Alpha, are you going to break your promise? All this time you have always signed anything I wanted, or are you too afraid to sign it this time? Are you afraid that in the end, you'll have to secretly interfere behind my back?"
Daniella's tone was deliberately provocative, mocking the Alpha's pride. She knew very well that Alpha Darren, with his arrogant masculine nature, would not be able to withstand such mockery. As expected, his expression turned dark. He looked at Daniella coldly and mockingly.
"Do you forget who brought you to Black Shadow? I brought you here, and I am the Alpha here. If I hadn't said you have healing abilities, you would only be looked down upon. With your mediocre abilities, you would still be stuck at Jerremy's house in the countryside, only taking care of the poor villagers if it weren't for me."
Those words pierced Daniella like shards of glass stuck in her throat, painful and impossible to swallow. Daniella gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm even when bombarded with degrading words.
"Then just sign it, Alpha. Let's see if I need your help or not." Daniella's challenging tone finally dispelled the lingering suspicion of the Alpha. With a mocking snort, Alpha replied, "Alright, let's see how far your stubbornness will take you." He grabbed a pen and signed his name with flair. Seeing him finish his signature, Daniella felt a heavy burden lift off her chest. She carefully folded the letter and tucked it into her pocket like a priceless treasure.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for your help," Daniella murmured to herself, this would even be the last time Daniella would seek his approval, meaning everything that was tied to the Alpha was now over for her. Daniella felt grateful because her bond with Alpha Darren would soon end before their union occurred; it was relieving that infidelity happened and Daniella didn't get bruised at all because of her mate's infidelity.
Anyway, being a Luna won't be as enjoyable as people imagine, this bad relationship is not worth maintaining. --- The next morning, Daniella woke up very early. With the approval letter in her hand, she felt a new sense of freedom and tranquility. The happiness of living without a partner and starting a new life made her heart swell with impatience.
As she prepared to go to Jerremy uncle house to be taken by the Alpha, Daniella walked to the Alpha's car as usual, hoping to sit in the passenger seat as she always did.
However, as soon as the window opened, a familiar face greeted him with a satisfied smile. "Daniella, sorry about this. I'm motion sick and can only sit in the front," said Camilla, pretending not to know, her tone playful. And Daniella froze for a moment.
She knew Camilla wasn't car sick at all—she had been in the same car with that wolf woman many times. The truth is, Daniella herself often struggles with motion sickness, which is why she always sits in the front seat. But today, Camilla has taken her place, as if deliberately claiming her territory.
