When she heard the crowd around her, Wendy shouted without a care for her image, “It’s all fake! Clara forged the footage!
“Everyone, I’m the Luna of our pack, and Clara’s nothing but the lowest–ranking Omega! You think I don’t know what she’s capable of? She can’t even handle basic physical labor, so how could she take down a beast like that?”
After her explanation, the crowd that had just been siding with me started to reconsider
“Honestly, judging by her moves, I thought Clara was at least a Beta.
“But Wendy’s words make sense. How could an Omega manage something like that?”
As doubt spread, Blake chimed in as well, “Clara, I can’t believe you’d go this far just to get my attention.
“You tried to get Wendy killed, and now you’re faking the footage? If you just apologize to Wendy right now, I’ll go easy on you once we’re back at the pack.”
Wendy cried and threw herself into Blake’s arms. “Blake! Clara almost killed me! How can you go easy on her? Kick her out of the pack! Someone like her doesn’t deserve to live among us!”
Blake lowered his head, avoiding her gaze as he muttered, “Wendy, Clara was once my fated mate. Let’s not make this messier than it already is.”
I looked at Blake coldly. “Since I’ve decided to leave you, I don’t expect any special treatment from you. I don’t need you to go
easy on me
He grabbed my arm as his usually striking eyes burned with anger. “Don’t be ridiculous! Clara, even if you’ve gone too far, you were still once my mate. For old times‘ sake, I’ll protect you
I yanked my arm free. “I don’t need your protection. I’ll protect myself. And let me repeat myself again, I don’t need you anymore”
Carl, who had been silently watching the drama unfold, finally stepped forward. “Clara, aren’t you going to explain? If you weren’t competing on behalf of your pack, then who were you representing?”
Wendy scoffed from the side. “Nothing to say now, huh? You sure had a lot to say just a moment ago. People like you who enter the competition illegally should be banned from the league!”
1 ignored her and pulled out the league badge to show the crowd. Tm representing the league.”
The crowd instantly fell silent.
“I personally invited Clara to join this competition. Her exceptional hunting skills are something we can all learn from As. you all saw in the footage, her capabilities speak for themselves. This recording will be distributed to every pack as training material
“As for you, Blake, if you’re really going to exile someone like her from your pack, I’d be more than happy to have her join mine, Carl said.
