Chapter 7 Katie's means

At 10 p.m., all the guests in the Golden Hall returned to their homes, and I finally couldn't hold back the tears that flowed from my eyes after I received a message from Shirley wishing me well.

William was out of here by nine o'clock and I don't know where he went.

The only thing I know is that on my first night of marriage, my husband was not in my room and no one could have been more miserable than me.

I hid inside the covers and tried to curl up as much as I could because it would make me feel safe.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, it was noon the next day.

The maid was waiting outside the door, I opened the window with a gust of sand on my face, I saw a familiar figure downstairs, it was Katie.

I don't remember seeing Katie once since I came back from abroad. She must have come here to see me now, not just to congratulate me.

The maid reported at the door, "Luna, there's a young lady named Katie at the door to see you."

"Let her in!" I didn't want anyone to think I had a Luna rack, even when I was dealing with Katie, whom I didn't like, and I hoped she wouldn't think I was a superior Luna because William had asked me to be a competent Luna.

Katie was dressed to the nines and she was so beautiful compared to me when I just woke up!

"Gina, I don't suppose you think I need to curtsy to you just because you've become Luna, do you?" Katie walked into the room and sat down directly on the chair, not wanting to curtsy to me.

I didn't care about these hypocritical things, but she was a bit too much. I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked with a smile, "Yes, I wouldn't be the one to care about these illusory manners, after all, we are acquaintances."

"No, I wouldn't dare to be related to the noble Luna, although I know how ugly and skinny you were before."

"Oh! No! I seem to be wrong, you're just as ugly and skinny now, still a cripple who can't turn into a wolf!"

I didn't want to take Katie's anger at me. I walked over to the bed and put on yesterday's dress because I didn't have any extra clothes. But my actions completely angered Katie.

She stood up and angrily tore at my dress, yelling, "Ugly Gina! The only person who can wear it is me! It belongs to me! You take it off! I order you to take it off!"

Faced with Katie's tearing, I felt so humiliated that I grabbed the collar of my dress hard and fought her for it.

But I was too weak, I couldn't grab Katie because she was much stronger than me. The dress was snatched away by her and I was pushed to the ground by her.

Katie must have been crazy, she grabbed the scissors from the table, cut the sleeve of the dress, and threw it hard at my face, I didn't have the strength to resist and she just got madder and madder.

Katie came up to me, her face so close to mine that I could see her eyes turn fierce, the fangs in her mouth were already showing, she was about to turn into a wolf, and she wanted to snap my neck.

I could feel the danger, but I couldn't resist because her front paws were already pressing down on my hands.

"Gina, go to hell! I'm the woman who can become Luna!"

Her voice was hoarse and low, and the breath that came out of her mouth hit my face. I desperately tried to resist, but there was no way to break free from her hold.

"Is Luna still sleeping?" Outside the door was William's voice, and I was so excited that I shed tears. Katie immediately stopped herself at the sound of the voice and leaped off the windowsill, disappearing from my view in an instant.

When William pushed open the door, I was still lying on the floor, surrounded by the scissors Katie had dropped and the dress she had torn, and I could feel that my face must have been as white as white bone, my heart pounding violently because of Katie's threat just now.

I looked at William, how I wanted him to hug me at this point, to reassure me not to be afraid, that he was there for everything. But I knew this was not going to happen. He looked at the room with cold eyes and I waited for his execution of me.

"If you don't want to be Luna, you can leave now. What does the gown represent and you should know that you are venting your frustration with me by destroying it so freely?"

"No, I didn't cause these, Katie ...... just now"

"So you're such a woman, trying to put your sins on the backs of unrelated people? When I first met you, I thought you were a woman of wisdom, but now it seems that I should have been wrong about you!"

William closed the door and left, leaving me sitting alone on the floor.

I don't know why he suddenly came back, and I don't know why it was all such a coincidence. I wasn't in the mood to think carefully, and all I had inside me was sadness and disappointment.

I was the one who stole Katie's position as Luna, I was the one who put William in a dilemma, I was the one who sidelined my sister, I was the one who brought them grief.

Should I just go to hell?

The light on my phone blinked twice, and it was a message from Shirley, who told me she would visit me this afternoon.

I don't want her to see me the way I am now because it will make her notice that I'm not happy.

I stood up and asked the maid to help me with my makeup. I picked up the gown on the floor and used a needle and thread to sew up the tears, and I messaged Shirley to bring me my dress.

"Oh! Honey, doesn't William have any new clothes for you?"

"Dear sister, I prefer clothes that I have worn for a long time to new clothes, I have become attached to them, and William agrees that I should wear them."

I feel effortless telling such lies because I am used to lying.

The sand was so strong today that I began to worry if something would happen on my sister's way here.

William's POV

After I handed Jason the task of finding a military expert, I got in my car and headed for the negotiation site. Red night clan's psychologist was Shirley, who was born with the ability to see into the minds of others, and her ability played a big role in the dozen or so negotiations she participated in in the past.

Shirley, of course, is Gina's sister, and as my car passed Shirley's house, I could see that she was ready and waiting for us at the side of the road.

I had seen her many times on the training ground, and her looks were the most beautiful of any woman I had ever seen, and her personality was the most man-like of any woman.

I firmly believe that if she were a man she would be able to be the best fighter.

My car pulled up in front of her, "Shirley, I need your help with this negotiation."

"King, it is my honor to contribute to the Red night clan, Minister Jason has told me everything, and I look forward to all going well today."

"Yes, we need to pick up Albert on the south side, he's an excellent negotiator, I think you've met him before," I said looking at Shirley in the rearview mirror.

"Yes, King, Albert has sharp observation and precise judgment, he is always able to accurately catch the loopholes in the other party's words, and also always able to put forward our conditions in time, many people can't get him."

"Yes, it seems that you already know him well, this negotiation needs the cooperation of the three of us, and the White night clan is also very powerful ministers in attendance this time."

"Okay, King." Shirley was silent for a moment and continued, "King, this afternoon's wedding is my sister's ......"

I interrupted her, "Shirley, it's work time and I don't want to talk about anyone's personal business here, even if it's my own, and I don't want to hear about it."

"Please forgive me for worrying about my only sister, I don't think she's a child who can take care of herself very well, so I hope the king will give me an accurate answer."

I was surprised by Shirley's firmness, Gina was just a tool for me to stabilize the pack, what could I say to reassure Shirley?

"Yes, Gina is your sister, but, after tonight, she is my Luna, you should not ask too much about the royal family, of course, now she still does not belong to the royal family, the only thing I can promise you is that I will make her live a good life and get everything she deserves, please rest assured of that."

Shirley's expression was serious like she was thinking about something.

I felt fresh and at the same time pressured by such a very opinionated woman who was very different from her sister, which made me find it difficult to deal with easily.

A short distance away from Albert's house, we saw Albert's figure, carrying a large bag and standing on the side of the road excitedly waving to us.

"Hey! Dude! Are you here to pick me up?"

Albert has a very cheerful personality and he is talking to the driver.

"My lord, the king himself is here to pick you up." The driver deliberately lowered his voice to remind Albert that I was sitting in the car.

Albert, somewhat flustered, took two steps backward and performed a very dignified salute, "My beloved king, I am sorry I did not notice your presence, oh! No! It was my eyes that were faulty and did not see you."

"It's okay, Albert, we've worked together so many times that we don't have to be so intimidated."

"O my tolerant and great King! You are so noble! Thank you for forgiving me! I will give my all for you!"

Albert's words I have long been used to, he always likes to express himself in very exaggerated words, in the eyes of those who do not know him, he is a very pompous person.

"Oh! What a beautiful lady! Dear Miss Shirley, may I ask if you are having a good day?"

Albert's words snapped Shirley out of thinking about her sister, "Albert, every time I hear you talk, I always want to laugh, and I hope, as you say, I'm going to have a great day!"

Shirley glanced at me when she said this, and I saw it in the rearview mirror.

"Miss Shirley, I feel happy to hear you say this, today we are going to work together again, do you have any idea about this matter?"

"Oh! Dear Albert, I have great expectations for our cooperation today and hope that we will achieve good results so that our king will be happy and will grant you and me a generous reward, and I will be happy about it."

Shirley imitated Albert's speech and became so cute that all four people in a car laughed out loud together.

Albert often likes to make people around him laugh at his behavior, it is a kind of fun for him, just now their dialogue like a drama performance, let Albert's interest increase.

"Dear Miss Shirley, you are so beautiful, please let me recite a poem for you, and believe me, it will show your beauty in the most beautiful language."

Shirley's face showed an embarrassed expression, guess she didn't expect Albert to say that.

I can imagine how much of a headache the poem Albert made was because the magazine had come to report Albert two years ago.

The people at the magazine said that Albert always mailed them some badly written poems to be published, and if they didn't publish them they slept at the magazine and didn't leave.

Of course, it was also the incident that introduced me to Albert and his talent for negotiating.

The car was still moving towards the agreed location, a small car that had become joyful because of Albert, and I hadn't been as relaxed as I was now in a long time, even though we were about to face what could be very difficult negotiations.
