Wincing in pain, I raised my head and saw Marley standing before me. Her beautiful face was tainted with mockery. She stretched out her slender hand and yanked the necklace off my neck.
The next second, the clasp came undone and the necklace was taken away from me.
“What the hell are you doing?” I never thought this woman would be so shameless. “Marley, give me back my necklace!”
Even Vicky was aghast. “You can’t do this! That necklace was given to Debra by her mother!
As she spoke, Vicky hurried forward to block Marley from Leaving.
One of the servants who were holding me kicked her away.
Vicky stumbled and fell, her forehead slamming into the stone pillar.
Blood trickled down from the wound, staining her pale face.
Vicky was my mother’s best friend. After my mother passed away, she stayed in the pack for my sake and remained single all her life. She practically raised me.
How dare Marley hurt her like this!
My wolf, Ivy, became restless. I, too, was driven mad with anger.
Ivy growled in my mind, “Rip them to shreds, Debra!”
But before I could do anything reckless, Vicky struggled to stand on her feet. Leaning on the stone pillar for support, she managed to cry out, “Debra, don’t do anything rash!”
I knew she was right. Because Marley was now married to my father, she was officially the Luna of our pack. If I laid a finger on her, my father and all the members of our pack would sense it immediately.
As Vicky spoke, the blood trickled down from her eyebrow to her chin. Seeing her like this made my heart ache so much. I rushed over to help her.
“Eww, this necklace is so cheap.” A playful smile appeared on Marley’s face as she took a closer look at my mother’s necklace. “How could your mother leave you such a cheap thing? Pathetic!”
As she spoke, she fiddled with my necklace casually.
“Don’t worry. I’ll give it back to you. It’s just a necklace. I’LL have countless better necklaces now that I’m the Luna.”
Click!
Marley threw my necklace to the ground as hard as she could. The chain instantly broke, and the gems clattered to the ground one by one.
The only thing my mother had left to me was ruined.
For a split second, I felt as though my heart was being squeezed by an invisible, oppressive force.
