Chapter 84



84 Summer’s Here

Selma Payne’s POV:

The moment my father agreed, I cheered excitedly, and even Dorothy, always calm and steady, grabbed my hand excitedly.

This was a dangerous mission, but it was also a hard-won opportunity to persuade Dorothy to reconcile with her witch bloodline.

I hoped she could realize her power was not evil and stop self-loathing. She was such an intelligent and kind girl. She should not pay for the disputes of the previous generation.

In short, the days of learning had begun.

I shouldn’t be surprised. Wasn’t it normal for Dorothy to be unable to dispel the curse on the southern Duke immediately? She was very talented, but that didn’t offset the fact that she was a rookie.

My father had arranged for three werewolf masters proficient in sorcery to teach Dorothy and me. Yes, I wanted to learn too.

“Know yourself and your enemy; you will never be defeated,” this was what my father said. He hoped that even if I couldn’t learn witchcraft, I would at least could distinguish them so that I could ensure the safety of myself and the people around me.

Our busy lives became even more intense after we joined the witchcraft class. We didn’t even have time to go to the club to enjoy the fun. Mara and Avril complained for a long time, “You guys have a little secret! We’re no longer close friends!”

They swore to cut off all ties with us, but ten minutes later, they came back to have lunch together.

And there was also Aldrich, Moon Goddess. Ever since he made our relationship public with his father, he’d become more and more intimate with me. He’d limited it to exclude the Duke’s mansion and the palace, always sticking to me at all times and places. We were so intimate I couldn’t stand it.

This situation became even more serious after the magic class squeezed out my free time.

“We have to restrain ourselves,” I said as I got out of his warm embrace. “You know, there have been several times when Father looked at you as if he wanted to exile you to human society.”

Aldrich wrapped around me like a big dog, and I was squeezed into the corner of the stairs and stands, unable to move.

“For you, I’m willing to be exiled to the sorcerer’s swamp.”

“Let’s not.” I struggled to find a way to speak through his kisses. “But we have to restrain ourselves. The fake Carolyn has been giving me a hard time in school several times. If we weren’t in the same department, I think she would have been here 24/7. It’s not a good time to disrupt her now. It’s easy to alert her if she turns her eyes to me.”

Aldrich laid on my shoulder unwillingly and said dejectedly, “Alright, I understand.”

“There’s no choice. You’re the general, and I’m the princess. We are both responsible for protecting the werewolf pack, don’t we?” I rubbed his thick hair and suddenly thought, ‘In the past, he was always the one who treated me like this. Now the situation has completely reversed. It’s really wonderful.’

Aldrich suddenly burst out laughing. “You know what? Every time you say the word ‘responsibility’, I have the urge to turn into a wolf and take you away so that we can elope to a place where no one knows.”

“Don’t say such childish words.” I laughed. “The youngest, handsome, and promising general of the werewolves eloping for love. The writers and scriptwriters will be happy, but our fathers will be worried.”

Time flew by quickly as I studied. During this time, I suddenly learned ‘human-wolf shift’. When Maxine appeared, Dorothy and the other teachers were shocked. But Dorothy soon released her wolf, Elaine, to communicate with Maxine.

Tracy said I suddenly awakened my wolf because I was under too much stress from studying. It was a little embarrassing, but the result was good.

I didn’t expect the first person to meet Maxine as a wolf to be Dorothy. Aldrich complained about it for a long time, and I had no choice but to give him countless kisses in exchange for his smile. I felt that something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, another summer had arrived. It was May.

There was still a month before the new graduation ceremony round.

Dorothy’s learning was like with the help of god. In just half a year, she could use all the knowledge taught to her by the three werewolf masters. The masters believed that she had the qualifications to become a qualified witch, so she reported to my father and resigned.

It had to be said that this was a pleasant surprise because Carolyn would be entering the university after the graduation ceremony. This meant that she would no longer be bound by the strict high school rules and could move freely and relaxedly in the university. Unfortunately, the difficulty of monitoring her would also increase exponentially.

If Dorothy could help the southern Duke dispel the curse in time, then in the remaining one month of school term and summer break, my father was confident that they could solve this problem, or at least solve the problem of the fake Carolyn.

“We’re old rivals,” my father said. “The werewolves understand the sorcerers, just like the sorcerers understand the werewolves.”

After half a year of anticipation, the southern Duke entered the palace again.

“This time, besides my parents and me, there was also Dorothy, who was full of confidence.
