My Pack Ditched Me on the Holiday. Now, I’m Out of Reach. Chapter 06

“Luna Elena, Selene applied to Royal Lycan Academy in the Northern Plains. Her acceptance letter has

already arrived. Oh, and she went there yesterday for early orientation. Didn’t she tell you?”

After that, Elena stopped listening to Mr. Lupus.

Only one thought was in her head: I’d gone to a different pack, a thousand miles from our territory.

After a long moment, she finally snapped back to reality.

No. That didn’t make sense.

My trial ranking had always been average at best.

The most suitable school should have been Sterling Warrior Academy, right next to the territory.

“How did Selene get into Royal Lycan Academy? Mr. Lupus, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”

Mr. Lupus’s tone was both amused and offended. “Luna Elena, I don’t mean to be rude, but how could you not

know your own daughter’s ranking?”

“Selene’s trial ranking wasn’t high before. But in her junior year, her ranking suddenly shot up. She went from outside the top hundred in her class to one of the top students. She can even shift into a silver wolf.”

“Moreover, she exceeded all expectations in the pack ability test, ranking sixth among all the packs in the

North.”

“What? She ranked sixth among all the packs in the North?”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Ruby was especially shocked.

Just moments ago, she’d been feeling guilty for nearly sabotaging my trial.

When she heard that my ranking was higher than hers, envy twisted her face.

“I should have crushed the whole wolfsbane plant and poured it all into the milk.”

Unlike Ruby’s jealousy, my Alpha parents were more surprised than anything.

In their eyes, I’d always been weak-sometimes even inferior to an ordinary pack warrior.

Ruby’s wolf wasn’t much stronger either, but she was prettier and knew how to charm people.

That was why they’d always favored her.

That was why they’d continually ignored me.

But now someone was telling them that the daughter they’d always looked down on had not only awakened

as a silver wolf but had even gotten into Royal Lycan Academy.

Regret flooded their hearts.

Meanwhile, Zane had also heard about my ranking.

Back then, I’d wanted to surprise him.

So I’d kept my progress a secret.

When he heard the news, he was speechless with shock.

But after the shock came joy.

His Alpha parents had found out he wanted to give up Royal Alpha Academy for Ruby.

They were furious.

They refused to let him throw away his top-ranked wolf talent.

They’d even called a pack council, gathering all the elders and senior pack members to persuade him to calm down and think about his own future-and the pack’s.

In the end, Zane chose his own future.

Before the admissions deadline, he’d changed his first-choice school back to Royal Alpha Academy.

At the same time, he felt a wave of relief.

Thank the moon goddess, he’d changed it back.

After spending time with Ruby, Zane had noticed some flaws he’d never seen before.

First, she was intensely jealous.

He’d once casually mentioned that I was good at logical thinking.

Ruby immediately gave him the cold shoulder.

Then she threatened to cut all ties with him for good.

In the end, Zane had to send her flowers for three days straight.

He also wrote a five-thousand-word apology letter.

Only then did Ruby agree to make up with him.

Another thing that made Zane even more resentful: Ruby was spoiled.

Once, she tripped over a pebble on the sidewalk.

She claimed her foot was swollen.

Then she insisted that Zane carry her home.

In over a hundred-degree heat, Zane trudged all the way back with Ruby on his back.

He’d been fuming at her the whole way home.

Not only that, but he’d thought of me.

He remembered how I’d once hiked with him for a whole week without a single complaint.

Zane thought to himself, if he had to choose between Ruby and me, he’d still pick me.

At first, he’d worried that my score wasn’t high enough for Royal Alpha Academy.

He’d thought we’d end up going to different places.

Now that he knew my trial ranking, all his worries disappeared.

Excited, he immediately called to tell me the good news: he’d changed his first-choice school back to Royal

Alpha Academy.

But no matter how many times he called, he couldn’t get through.

In the end, he had no choice but to call Silas.

When he heard the name of the school I’d chosen, Zane felt like the ground had caved in beneath him.
