Back to Selection Day: Surprise, I'll Get Golden Twin Pups

I told Ella everything that had happened recently, causing her to erupt in rage. "Louis is truly despicable!"

She then looked up at me and asked, "Are you alright, Grace?"

I shook my head, poured two glasses of medicinal wine, and handed one to her.

"If you're looking to get even with Louis, I might have just the solution for you," Ella suddenly said.

I cast a questioning glance at her, looking for an explanation.

Ella continued, "You'll surely be able to bear white pups if you can find the mythic Golden Celestial Wolf and mate with him."

I had drunk too much of the medicinal wine and felt a bit tipsy, so I gave a dazed nod, not truly paying much attention to what she had said.

…

Two weeks later, Chloe was escorted into Louis' manor with great fanfare. The place was packed with guests, all congratulating Chloe on her union with Louis.

I had planned to head out immediately after dropping something off when a household staff member accidentally bumped into me. I suddenly smelled a peculiar scent right after, prompting me to immediately use my magic to teleport away from the scene.

I found myself transported to an inconceivable paradise. It was a place of serene beauty, with lush mountains and crystal-clear waters, looking as though it were a world completely apart from the wolf clan's territory.

I remembered this place.

In my past life, after I had swallowed our family’s heirloom pearl, I went through an agonizing transition. I needed a full day and night to absorb its power before it could be integrated into my body.

Back then, I had heard from an elder in the mansion that a Golden Celestial Wolf resided here—the supreme being of all wolves.

A wild idea suddenly crossed my mind. If I could mate with that Golden Celestial Wolf, the pups I gave birth to would definitely be the finest among all wolves, and there would be two of them.

With that thought in mind, I started looking for a place to settle down.

I searched for a good while but still couldn't find anything. Frustrated, I grumbled under my breath, "I clearly remember them saying it was near here. Am I in the wrong place?"

I recalled the elder mentioning that it was currently the Golden Celestial Wolf's mating season.

I had just thought about that when a sudden, overwhelming power yanked me into a concealed thicket. In the heat of our mating, I noticed that the man was enveloped in a brilliant golden light, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was indeed the Golden Celestial Wolf.

He possessed immense stamping, truly living up to the legend of the Golden Celestial Wolf. I begged for mercy several times, but I remained trapped under his powerful frame.

I had no idea how many days and nights had passed, but by the time I woke up, I found a strikingly beautiful man resting at my side. The moment his eyes opened, I asked, "What is your—"

Before I could finish the man vanished, teleporting away without saying a thing.

I placed a hand over my stomach and shook my head. It didn't really matter; after all, I had only sought out the Golden Celestial Wolf for his superior genes.

I arrived home feeling utterly drained. I collapsed onto my bed and was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

…

I was suddenly awakened by an unknown wolf man, who carried himself with an insufferable arrogance. "The future Wolf Queen has summoned you to the main hall."

I was momentarily baffled before realizing that the only one who could bear that title and had any connection to me was none other than Chloe.

That was when I realized that today was the day Chloe was supposed to return to her family home after her union with Louis. I hadn't even noticed that three whole days had passed while I was lost in the arms of the Golden Celestial Wolf.

I knew Chloe's family lived quite close to ours, but I was still surprised that she actually had the nerve to drop by our house during her first visit back home since the union.

I entered the main hall, only to find that Chloe had arrived not only with a hoard of gifts but also with a man.

Once she saw me, Chloe hurried over and grabbed my hand. "I'd like you to meet Alexander Rossi, Grace. He's here to ask for your hand in marriage."

I sneered and yanked my hand back. It was common knowledge that the greatest taboo for a member of wolf clan was intermarrying with another clan, yet Chloe had the gall to publicly introduce me to an outsider.

I was absolutely certain that she was trying to humiliate me, as the man she had introduced me to was a tiger man.

"I see you've taken up matchmaking as a hobby, but I'm not in the mood to show any gratitude for this insult, Chloe."

Dad's face twisted with fury. He raised his hand, intending to slap Chloe, but I caught his arm and held him back.

"How dare you, Grace! How dare you reject the match I've arranged for you!" Chloe shouted. "Do you really think anyone would want you as you are?"

Before I could respond, a voice rang out from the entrance. "I want her!"

I turned toward the sound and was instantly stunned.
