“The attacker has been identified and turned over to the territory enforcers,” Connor confirmed. “But Frederick Warner managed to distance himself from the direct act. Only the hired rogue will face pack justice for now.”
My expression darkened. Frederick was too cunning to be caught so easily.
Connor turned to Dad on the hospital bed, his tone apologetic. “Alpha Richard, I am deeply sorry you were caught in this. The fault lies with my pack’s history with Frederick.”
Dad’s voice was raspy but firm. “With the Rivers Pack’s power and influence, can you truly do nothing about Frederick? Must we let him continue to endanger our packs?”
“I apologize again,” Connor said. “While my wolf’s instincts scream Frederick’s guilt, there’s no concrete evidence linking him to this specific assault. Without it, the territory enforcers can’t formally act against an Alpha of another territory.”
Dad retorted sharply. “Sometimes pack justice requires methods beyond formal laws. To subdue a venomous wolf, one must be more cunning. Why do you need evidence if you’re not an enforcer?”
Connor lowered his eyes, acknowledging the truth. “Frederick has only recently returned to our territories. His movements are clandestine, and several attempts to track him down have failed.”
Dad seemed deeply dissatisfied and silently continued sipping his broth.
After Connor briefed us on the captured rogue, he left behind a bank card containing a significant sum. “This is a small token of my concern, please accept it.”
Dad was visibly displeased. “Don’t waste time on these meaningless gestures. Capturing Frederick Warner swiftly is more important than anything.”
Connor showed deference for my sake, his demeanor impeccable. “That is, of course, my priority.”
Before Connor left, I put away my laptop and said in a low voice, “Con, I’ll go with you.”
Dad’s gaze swept over me coldly, his face darkening.
I sighed. “Dad, their purpose in harming you is to force me to appear. Only if I show myself will you, Luna Natalie, and Grace be safe.”
Natalie was stunned. “Liv, we have enforcers protecting us now. But you must be incredibly careful!” Dad snorted coldly, his Alpha dominance flaring. “If our family is targeted for death because of an alliance with your Rivers Pack, then this mating bond doesn’t need to be finalized.”
My heart sank heavily, a chill spreading through me as if plunged into an ice cave. I knew Dad was serious.
???? ??
What made me most powerless was my lack of standing to object. It was my sister and father who were harmed, not me. I couldn’t selfishly let my family be repeatedly endangered for my own happiness.
“Dad.” My voice was hoarse. “I’ll talk to Alpha Connor properly.”
“You should have a thorough discussion,” Dad said in a deep voice.
In the Moonlight Memorial Hospital parking lot, the interior of Connor’s luxury Cullinan SUV was warm. Connor took off his coat, revealing a black shirt and tie beneath-the attire of a powerful Alpha who had rushed over from Rivers Pack headquarters.
“Con.” I called out. “Let’s talk.”
Connor lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions swirling within his ice-blue depths. “What do you want to talk about?”
I felt a pang in my heart. I couldn’t bring myself to say the words, but my family had been hurt repeatedly. I couldn’t selfishly prioritize my love and happiness.
Grace was kidnapped, my father attacked and injured today. What about tomorrow? Would it be Natalie, or myself?
A long silence filled the car, the air growing stuffy from the heating. Connor tugged at his tie and lowered the car window halfway.
The cold wind poured in, instantly refreshing.
I cautiously began, “What my dad meant, you just…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Connor slammed his foot on the accelerator. I lurched forward, swallowing the rest of my words.
I pursed my lips and silently fastened my seatbelt. Connor’s wolf was clearly agitated; he drove with aggressive speed.
(Olivia’s POV)
The black Bugatti sped along the Northern Territory rural highway, the scenery outside the window receding rapidly. My heart was tightly drawn, my face pale as I gripped the seat belt, my amber eyes wide with fear.
“Con, Alpha Connor, slow down.”
The speedometer needle quivered at dangerous speeds. My wolf Cora whimpered inside me, sensing the reckless pace.
Connor Rivers sat rigid behind the wheel, his jaw tense and the lines of his profile hard. He showed obvious signs of being in a bad mood as he stared ahead, his wolf’s instincts on high alert.
His knuckles were white against the steering wheel. The muscles in his forearms strained beneath his rolled-up sleeves.
Despite not responding directly, Connor gradually decreased his speed, easing my anxiety. The car’s engine settled into a steadier rumble.
Gazing out the window, I noticed the unfamiliar surroundings. We weren’t heading towards Whisperbrook
Gardens or the Rivers Pack Mansion.
My wolf grew uneasy, sensing something amiss. The landscape looked wrong, too rural, too isolated.
“Con, where are we going?” I asked, my voice tight with concern.
Connor’s ice-blue eyes remained fixed on the road ahead. His jaw worked silently for a moment before he answered.
“Whisperbrook Gardens has been compromised. It’s no longer safe for you,” he replied with a cold voice that made my heart sink.
The words hit me like a physical blow. My safe haven, my sanctuary, was no longer mine.
“I’m taking you to a manor outside the city to lie low for a few days,” Connor continued, his tone clipped and professional. “I’ll come pick you up later, after I’ve dealt with things.” pressed him about the distance, worry creeping into my voice. “How far is it?”
“It’s not far,” he assured me curtly. His response felt rehearsed, automatic.
“Someone will be waiting ahead to escort you. The car will be filled with professional Rivers pack enforcers for your protection.”
Concerned, I immediately questioned his plans. The separation felt wrong, dangerous.
“What about you? What are you going to do?”
Connor dismissed my worries with a wave of his hand. “Don’t worry about me, Livvy.”
But I could see the tension in his shoulders. His wolf was as agitated as mine.
The car continued its journey through increasingly desolate terrain. Gradually, the city’s towering buildings gave way to smaller houses and empty landscapes.
The road was flanked by lush greenery, offering a refreshing view. But my wolf remained on edge, hackles raised in warning. latio
Something felt wrong. The speed, the tension radiating from Connor-it all made my instincts scream danger.
Trees blurred past the windows in dark streaks. The road stretched endlessly ahead, swallowed by shadows. Connor informed me that we would soon be stopping. “A little further ahead, you’ll get out of the car with them, Livvy.”
His voice carried finality that made my stomach clench. This felt like goodbye.
I glanced back through the rear window, puzzled by the absence of our usual security detail. The road behind us was empty, no protective convoy in sight.
“Aren’t we supposed to have bodyguards with us? I thought we always did.”
Connor’s expression darkened further. His grip on the steering wheel tightened until his knuckles cracked.
