Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back Chapter 211: Spiked

Thea's POV

I found myself standing in the vast kitchen of the Ashworth Pack mansion.

The entire house was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere, all colors drained and dull. I stood there with a spatula in my hand, but no matter how hard I tried, every dish I touched turned to charcoal. The kitchen was a complete disaster.mansion

Sebastian's mother Elizabeth stood before me, her face twisted with disgust and disappointment.

"You useless piece of shit, you can't even manage basic cooking." Her voice was venomous. "Look what you've done to my kitchen! Sebastian marrying you is the biggest disgrace in our pack's history."

I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could get a word out, the scene suddenly shifted. I saw Sebastian and Aurora kissing right in front of me while I stood in the corner like a pathetic clown. All the pack members were sneering.

"That homewrecking bitch!"

"Does she think she's worthy of our Alpha?"

"What a fucking joke!"

Their voices were sharper than I remembered, more cruel. Each word was like a razor blade slicing through my heart.

The scene twisted again. I saw Leo pushing away my outstretched hand.

"I don't want a wolfless mother!" His little face contorted with revulsion. "Dad's right, you're just a freak!"

"No!" I struggled desperately, trying to reach him, but I couldn't move from where I stood, as if I could never touch him.

Everyone appeared behind Leo again, forming a circle, pointing at me and laughing: "Wolfless! Wolfless! You'll never belong here!"

I shook my head frantically, trying to cover my ears, but those voices pierced through my skull like they were carved into my brain, making me sway on my feet.

*Something's wrong.* A voice echoed deep in my mind, but it was quickly drowned in these painful images.

I felt anger burning in my chest, an unprecedented power flowing through my veins. I looked down at my hands—no, they weren't hands anymore. They were claws now, massive white claws with a purple glow.

That's right, I wasn't that helpless girl anymore. I had power now. I had Diana. I could make them pay.

*Revenge.* The thought exploded in my mind.

I felt the raw, primal wildness in my wolf form that could tear everything apart. I roared, looking around for those who had hurt me. I wanted them to know what kind of power this girl they once trampled underfoot now possessed.

I stepped forward, each footfall shaking the floor. I could hear screams around me, but I took them all as the mocking voices that had tormented me.

*Kill them!* A voice roared in my mind. *Make them pay in blood!*

All those years of suppressed rage erupted, almost completely consuming my sanity. I wanted to see fear in their faces, wanted to hear their screams.

I was almost ready to strike, claws raised, prepared to swipe at those humiliating figures.

But suddenly, a voice cut through the madness.

"Mom! Mom, wake up!"

The voice made me freeze instantly. It was Leo's voice, but more real—filled with concern and fear.

The images before me began to waver like a broken mirror. I realized something indeed was wrong.

Of course. Leo would never speak to me like that. Elizabeth, though cold, had never been this cruel. And most importantly—I was a good cook, so how could I possibly burn simple dishes? Those mocking voices were too extreme, too... fake.

Hallucinogens. The word suddenly appeared in my consciousness. It was the drink I'd had earlier. Someone had drugged my drink, causing these hallucinations.

*"Diana!"* I called out in my mind, realizing I had to regain control. *"None of this is real!"*

But Diana seemed affected by the drug too. I could feel her snarling, immersed in savage emotions.

"Mom, it's me, Leo! Please! Please stop!"

Leo's heart-wrenching voice came again, this time clearer. I heard the fear and desperation in his voice.

I struggled to focus, trying to grab onto this anchor of reality.

Slowly, those twisted images began to fade. I saw the real Leo standing not far away, his little face streaked with tears. He wanted to come closer, but someone was holding him back.

*"Diana! Snap out of it!"* I called desperately. *"This is all from the hallucinogens! You have to help me regain control!"*

The drug's effects hadn't weakened. I struggled to steady my mind, fighting against it, trying to wake Diana's rationality. But in those overwhelming waves of emotion, it seemed incredibly difficult.

I still felt an intense urge to attack something, to release this uncontrollable rage. In desperation, I raised my claws and slashed at my own body—if pain could keep me conscious, then so be it.

Just before my claws could touch my body, a massive figure suddenly lunged forward, using his own body to block my claws.

Blood. I smelled blood.

Then I saw him—an equally massive wolf, silver fur, golden eyes burning in the moonlight. Sebastian's wolf—Orion.

He didn't retreat, didn't fear my madness. He looked directly into my eyes, letting out low whimpers of comfort.

I had been prepared to feel the pain of claws ripping through my own flesh, but instead I saw a shocking, bloody wound appear on Orion's fur. My claws had torn into him, not me.

This image instantly brought me back to reality more effectively than any antidote or pain could have pulled me from the hallucinations.

*"Thea!"* Diana's voice suddenly rang clear in my mind. *"We can do this!"*

I took a deep breath, struggling to concentrate. Slowly, I felt the flames of anger beginning to recede. Though I was still in wolf form, I was no longer the beast driven by emotion.

Then the shift began. Bones started reshaping, fur began disappearing, claws turned back into fingernails. The process was painful, but much better than the previous forced shifts.

When I finally returned to human form, I was so exhausted I could barely stand. Sebastian had also shifted back, immediately wrapping a coat around me, but my attention was fixed on the wound on his ribs.

"Are you okay?" he asked softly, completely ignoring his own injury.

"Your wound..." I reached out to touch it but didn't dare.

"It's nothing," he shook his head. "It'll heal quickly. What matters is that you're safe."

Before I could speak, a small figure rushed over and threw himself into my arms, hugging me tightly.

"Mom! You scared me so much just now." Leo's voice was muffled against my chest.

I trembled as I held his small body, feeling his warmth and his racing heartbeat. This was reality. This child who loved me, this little life I needed to protect.

"I'm so sorry, baby," I whispered in his ear. "Mommy's so sorry."

I looked up at our surroundings—overturned tables and chairs, scattered dishes, and what looked like debris from trees and bushes swept away by a tsunami. People stood far away, their faces showing shock, fear, and... awe? Goddess, what had I just done?

Mom and Dad immediately approached me. "How are you feeling now?" Mom scanned me up and down, making sure I wasn't hurt.

"I'm fine now, Mom."

Dad's expression mixed seriousness with concern, but his tone carried a hint of gentle teasing: "So, looks like you gave us quite a surprise, huh? When did this happen?"

I managed a weak smile: "After I recovered my memories. Sorry I didn't tell you guys. I just wanted to wait until things were clearer..."

Mom gently rubbed my back: "It's okay, sweetheart. We respect your decision. If you didn't say anything, you must have had your reasons."

"What matters is that you're safe," Dad continued. "We'll always support you, no matter what."

Sophia and Iris rushed over too, their faces full of concern. Though they didn't say anything, I could see the same understanding and support in their eyes.

I struggled to stand, Sebastian immediately supporting me. My legs were still weak, but my mind was completely clear.

"Hallucinogens," I said breathlessly. "Someone put hallucinogens in my drink."

Sebastian's face turned iron-cold instantly. "Who?"

I looked around, searching for any possible suspects. The security measures for the party were extremely tight under Sebastian and Dad's strict control—Vanessa couldn't have gotten in. But Aurora was still nowhere to be seen.

This made me uneasy. After the incident at the police station, I thought Aurora and I had reached some understanding. I didn't want to suspect her, but why wasn't she here? Where had she gone? What was she doing? More importantly, if this was connected to her, what would be her reason for doing this?

"Sebastian," I gripped his arm tightly. "There are people at this party with ill intentions. You need to organize security immediately, check all entrances and exits, make sure no one leaves."

He nodded. "I'll arrange it right away."

He immediately turned to the crowd and issued commands: "All security personnel report for duty immediately! No one leaves without my permission!" Then he turned to me: "Stay here, I'll handle this."

I watched him walk toward a group of security personnel, quickly deploying them. Meanwhile, the crowd began gathering around me again. But I quickly noticed this gathering was completely different from before—they weren't coming to question me, but to establish relationships with me.

"Ms. Thea," someone who had just been passionately criticizing my unworthiness to inherit the Alpha position approached cautiously. "If there's anything you need help with..."

"Miss Kincaid, I'd like to discuss future cooperation between our two Packs..."

"The power you just displayed was truly shocking..."

One after another, people began introducing themselves, offering various cooperation proposals and alliance requests. Those who had been questioning my identity just minutes ago were now eagerly trying to win my favor.

I felt disgusted. These people's attitudes were based entirely on the power I'd displayed, not recognition of me as a person. When I seemed weak, they mocked me; when I seemed strong, they wanted to curry favor with me.

"Sorry," I stood up. "I need some fresh air."

I pushed through the crowd, walking toward the edge where it was relatively quiet. I deliberately didn't let anyone follow—I needed to be alone to think about everything that had just happened.

*"At least no one dares question us anymore,"* Diana said in my mind.

Yes, but was this what I wanted? To gain respect through displays of power? I'd rather they recognize me for my character and achievements, not because they feared my strength.

I took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to calm down. But my mind was still in chaos.

Someone had wanted me to lose control in front of everyone. I didn't know what her purpose was, or whether she already knew about my wolf in advanced. Though that plan had failed, it showed there were still enemies acting in the shadows, and I wasn't sure if this was connected to Vanessa or Aurora.

Just as I was thinking about all this, a voice came from behind me.

"Thea?"

I turned to see Elizabeth walking toward me. Her expression was complex, showing both concern and an emotion I couldn't read.

"Elizabeth." I nodded, unsure how to respond.

She stopped a few steps away from me, silent for a moment, then spoke: "I have something to say to you."
