Chapter 25 Shirley leaves Horsford
The sun shone right on her body, I could not see her face, but I could feel her emotions, it was anger.
She came towards me and I gradually got a better look at her face and it was Katie!
The look on her face reminded me of the day she first came to me, and I sensed that things weren't that simple.
"You abominable woman! Why were you not present at the ritual? You're Luna! You're the Luna! That bitch is just a gift from the White night clan! Why did she show up at the ritual? Why did she show up at William's side in Luna's dress? You stupid woman! Why did you let her beat you so easily?"
Katie yelled at me with reckless abandon as she grabbed my collar and spit in my face, her voice so loud and fast that I could barely hear what she was saying.
"Why don't you say anything? You fucking woman! That bitch Ambow has no business being in Luna's place, and after you die, only I can be the next Luna! I asked my uncle to help him become a military expert, but just to become a military expert! Why would William fall in love with her?" Katie grabbed her head, like a madman who had lost his mind, and shouted while smashing the things in my room.
As I looked at Katie and heard her words, I finally understood the reason for everything. Although William didn't like me after we got married, he would respect me and would think about my future. But, since Ambow came along, William has changed completely!
This clever and unusual woman, used Katie and Jason to make William fall in love with himself, and use means to make William hate me, and when I die, she is the only woman William fell in love with, and Luna's seat will become hers.
It was a well-planned scheme. I was caught up in my grief because of William's attitude and confused by one incident after another, not having time to think carefully about the reasons for each one, which led to falling into Ambow's trap and not being able to get out.
I watched Katie let her pain out. Although I have never liked her, at this time, her pain was the same as mine, and I could feel her sadness and anger at being cheated and used.
Katie broke everything in my room, then sat down on the floor, tears blurring her makeup, a very messy look, the first time I'd seen her in this state.
"Gina, you are a very stupid woman, I no longer want to be your enemy, come here I want to discuss with you, how to target Ambow, I think, you think the same as me, do not want Ambow to become Red night clan's Luna!"
I didn't say anything and Katie got a little anxious and continued, "Although I once worked with Ambow because I wanted to defeat you, I can certainly be your best helper now!"
I didn't want to work with Katie because my sister had told me that she didn't like Katie and that I would definitely upset my sister by working with her, and now that I only have my sister, I wouldn't do anything to upset her.
"I think, at least I'm still Luna now, William won't abolish me in the last two weeks, Ambow shouldn't act either, and her plan won't go so well without you and Lord Jason's help!"
Katie looked at me with a very shocked look, and I'm sure she didn't expect me to say something like that.
"Oh! My God! You stupid woman! What on earth makes you so convinced that William won't abolish you in these two weeks? King Adolf? That makes me laugh! Do you think William would cherish an insane Luna? Or a suicidal Luna, would William love her? Suicide among us werewolves represents blasphemy against the gods! One's own body can be destroyed, but not annihilated, because the gods created all things, and we are also his creations!"
I agree with Katie, but when I think of my sister, I give up on the idea of working with her.
"But ......"
"Oh! Bastard! I'm so stupid! Why would I tell you about this? Why would I even think of coming to work with you? I'm such a big idiot! You'd better take what I just said to heart and not tell anyone else, or I'll let you die without knowing it!"
Katie finished and left. I looked at the chaotic room and thought about what Katie had just said and felt stupid indeed.
But what is wrong with me for the sake of my sister?
I stood up to gather my things and heard the sound of a vehicle outside the front door, I knew it was the end of the ceremony, I stood in the doorway of my room and saw William very gentlemanly pulling Ambow out of the car, the two kissed each other and went back inside the mansion arm in arm.
Immediately after William saw me, the smile on his face disappeared and a look of disgust appeared on his face. Ambow beside him greeted me warmly, but it seemed to me that this was just mockery and an expression of his victory.
I turned around and went back to my room to continue packing. If this scene was seen by William, he would think that I was angry again for not attending the ceremony this time, and I didn't want him to think that it would deepen the conflict between us and would make him want to abolish me even more, I simply want to keep my position of Luna.
Sure enough, just after I cleaned up my room, William appeared at the door of my room, looking serious, but not angry.
"Gina, you better do what a Luna should do, this time, although Ambow helped you to attend the ceremony, the real Luna is still you, at least these days still, I do not want you to appear in any situation again, and let King Adolf notice."
I understood that William had come to request me, he was unsure of me and he wanted me to listen.
"William, I don't think I've ever done anything against you, I don't think I would ever at any time do anything that would threaten your position in any way, what happened before wasn't my doing, of course I know you won't believe what I'm saying now, but one day you'll know that what I'm saying is true! I want the position of Luna because I want to protect my sister, and even if you didn't fall in love with me, I wouldn't care."
William looked at me with a surprised look on his face, he probably didn't expect me to say so many words.
"That would be best!"
William finished and left. I don't know if my words had any effect on him, but I could feel that William's attitude toward me had changed a bit.
I felt a little happy that he didn't refute what I just said, does that mean I can work a little harder to gain his trust and then keep my position as Luna?
Reader's POV
Shirley in Forsford's home for him to do psychological relief during the two meet three times a day, sometimes for treatment of the condition, but most of the time is to exchange their stories with each other, Forsford learned Shirley's tragic childhood, Shirley knows Forsford has brilliant combat achievements.

The two people understand more about each other, and their feelings gradually escalated, from the initial strange resistance to later close love, Shirley experienced the beauty of love, she would often think of her sister, she thought, Gina has William's care will certainly live a very happy life, until the day the ritual began.
Horsford was unable to attend the ritual because of his injury, and Shirley needed to accompany him to the mansion. After the afternoon ritual, the maid who went to the scene returned to report that there was something different about Luna today.
Shirley asked, "Why is it different? Is it because Luna is sick?"
"No, Shirley, it's because today the real Lord Luna did not appear with the king, but a strange woman, I once attended Luna's appointment ceremony and knew Lord Luna's face, but many people present at the sacrificial ceremony did not know her, so not many people noticed this either."
Shirley immediately stood up and was ready to go out and see what was going on with Gina.
Horsford reassured her, "Honey, Luna will tell you first if something happens, don't worry yet, this matter may not be as serious as you think."
"Oh! Horsford, you may not know, my dear sister is not as weak as you think, she wants me to be happy, when she knows that I am with you, she will never come to bother me, when she meets anything, she will think of solving it by herself, but, again, she is so worrying, I am really afraid that she will be hurt by this hurt!"
Horsford took Shirley's hand, moved by Shirley and Gina's sisterly love, "Please don't be anxious, dear, I'll have the maid poke around about Luna again."
"No, Horsford, I'm going on my own, even if you say so, there's no way I can give up my dear sister! Please allow me to go away for one day, just one day, if I don't see my sister, I won't be able to eat anything in and sleep!"
Horsford saw how worried Shirley was and couldn't say anything more to stop her.
"Okay, honey, you have to protect yourself, I always have some inner turmoil, please come back as soon as you see Luna and make sure she is okay, I hope to see you again soon!"
"Well, my dear Forsford, it was my good fortune to meet you, and I will come back because I think I am in love with you, my Mr. Forsford!"
Horsford excitedly tightened his arms around Shirley, fiercely kissed on Shirley's lips, and the two kissed each other goodbye with deep emotion, looking at each other for a long time before parting.
Shirley is lucky enough to experience the sweetness of love, but little does she know that her sister's fate is even more tragic than before.
Shirley turned into a wolf and went from Forsford's mansion to the Golden Hall. When she arrived at the Golden Hall and saw that the light in her sister's room was still on, Shirley felt somewhat reassured that at least she was still living here.
Shirley's biggest psychological fear is that Gina will choose to commit suicide because of something, and if that happens, she will fight to avenge her sister's death.
Shirley walked upstairs and called Gina's name softly, but there was no answer. It was now 7:00 p.m. and the golden hall was dark. Shirley thought Gina had fallen asleep because she knew her sister and sometimes slept with the light on because she was afraid of the dark.
Shirley gently pushed open the door and saw a person sitting at the dresser. Shirley didn't think much of it and assumed that person was Gina.
"Honey, I came to see you, I just called your name at the door and no one answered, I thought you must have gone to sleep, I didn't expect to be putting on makeup, when did you become such a beauty lover?"
Shirley turned to close the door, suddenly, she felt a stabbing pain in her back, a dagger stabbed directly into her back, she did not have time to dodge.
