Cloudspire Restaurant was the most famous luxury spot in the center of Lycanland, perched all the way up on the 100th floor.<\/p>\n
It got its name because it seemed to rise high enough to touch the clouds.<\/p>\n
People said you could feel Nyra\u2019s blessing more clearly here.<\/p>\n
Dinner in this place cost a fortune, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and you needed a special membership card.<\/p>\n
Regular werewolves couldn\u2019t even step inside.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t have a card myself, but Jake used to bring me here.<\/p>\n
But today, the moment I arrived, a server greeted me with full respect and led me upstairs. \u201cMs. Wiley, Mr. Eaton has reserved the Mooncrown Pack\u2019s private view seat for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I glanced at the table. It was at the very top, one I had never seen open to outsiders. So it was reserved for the Mooncrown Pack all along.<\/p>\n
I sat down lazily, resting my chin on one hand, letting my eyes wander.<\/p>\n
The sky stretched wide and endless right before me. It looked even more enchanting than usual, wrapping the city in its glitter.<\/p>\n
The frustration I\u2019d felt earlier\u2013when Milo turned me down\u2013faded quite a bit.<\/p>\n
Money really did solve 99% of problems.<\/p>\n
If it didn\u2019t, then you simply didn\u2019t have enough of it.<\/p>\n
The view was so stunning I couldn\u2019t resist snapping a few photos.<\/p>\n
I was about to post them online to update my long\u2013silent social media when a memory hit me.<\/p>\n
Peggie had once posted a story from this restaurant too.<\/p>\n
She posted it on the day before my anniversary with Jake.<\/p>\n
He had promised to bring me here to celebrate.<\/p>\n
But the day before, Peggie shared a gorgeous picture with the caption that read, \u201cSpending the money of my favorite alpha on the best dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
When I saw that post, I broke down instantly.<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t hold back from confronting Jake, asking why he would give such an exclusive membership card<\/p>\n

to a dualborn werewolf.<\/p>\n
What did he say back then?<\/p>\n
He thought I was overreacting, making a fuss out of nothing.<\/p>\n
When I was upset and argued with him, he just looked at me with pure annoyance and walked away.<\/p>\n
That was Jake. He always thought I was being unreasonable. He was best at letting me cool off alone.<\/p>\n
Thinking about that now, I stared at the draft of my new post and suddenly lost all interest.<\/p>\n
I set my phone down and took a sip of water. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a figure standing by the marble dining table.<\/p>\n
For a moment, I thought it was Luis, and a smile tugged at my lips.<\/p>\n
But when I looked up, it was Peggie.<\/p>\n
She wore a white dress and stood across the table with her arms crossed. Her cheeks were flushed, like<\/p>\n
she\u2019d had a few drinks.<\/p>\n
I looked away, but the irritation I had just pushed down flared right back up. Why did I have to run into her everywhere I went?<\/p>\n
Peggie\u2019s grating voice hit my ears. \u201cDeanna, Jake\u2019s membership card is with me. How did you even get in here?\u201d<\/p>\n
I frowned and leaned lazily back in my chair at her question.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I need to report my whereabouts to a half\u2013blood like you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her face twisted into an unsightly look.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think I want to see you? Was it you who told Jake not to help me with the Muses deal? I didn\u2019t expect you to be this sneaky. Acting all high and mighty on the surface, but behind the scenes, you\u2019re just jealous of me. I really underestimated you.\u201d<\/p>\n
What?<\/p>\n
Jake and I broke up a long time ago. How could she still be trying to pin this on me?<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t go crawling back to him.<\/p>\n
And even if I had told him no, what difference would it make?<\/p>\n
This bitch can slander me to steal a man, but I can\u2019t fight for my interests?<\/p>\n
Talk about double standards.<\/p>\n
Still, when I saw her face flushed red with rage, I had to admit, it felt satisfying.<\/p>\n

I lifted my gaze lazily, lips curling into a faint smile. \u201cWhat, are you trying to get Muses too?\u201d<\/p>\n

I tilted my head. \u201cOh, right. You\u2019re still the heiress of leeclaw Pack. Planning to secure this opportunity to impress your dad? Let me give you some advice\u2013don\u2019t work too hard for nothing. From what I hear, your Luna isn\u2019t exactly easy to please.\u201d<\/p>\n
That hit her hard.<\/p>\n
Her chest heaved with anger. Suddenly, she snatched up the glass from the table and flung the water straight at me.<\/p>\n
