Katherine Rivers immediately stepped forward, her face flushed with embarrassment. “Please accept our deepest apologies for Connor’s behavior.”
Her voice carried genuine distress as she tried to salvage the situation. “He’s been under tremendous stress with pack business lately.”
I forced myself to remain calm, though my wolf raged against the humiliation. Pack reputation was everything in werewolf society.
“We’ll provide appropriate compensation for this misunderstanding,” I offered quickly. “And we’d be honored to discuss future cooperation between our packs.”
The Blackwood family’s anger slowly cooled as we offered concessions and promises. Their wounded pride demanded acknowledgment of the slight.
I had hoped to force Connor into the matchmaking arrangement through social pressure and family obligation. But he had refused to cooperate with pack traditions.
That stubborn boy has no respect for his elders, I thought bitterly. His defiance grows worse every day.”
After seeing off the Moonlight pack’s Alpha family with profuse apologies and promises of future meetings, I stormed into Gerald’s study. My anger had reached its breaking point.
“Your grandson is completely out of control!” I declared, my voice shaking with fury. “He humiliated the Moonlight pack and damaged our reputation!”
Gerald looked up from his papers with weary resignation. “You shouldn’t have rushed to arrange matchmaking so soon after the broken engagement with the Winters pack.”
His tone carried gentle reproach. “The timing was inappropriate and bound to cause problems.”
“Connor is twenty-six years old!” I snapped, my patience exhausted. “He has a duty to continue the bloodline and strengthen pack alliances!”
My amber eyes flashed with determination. “We can’t wait forever for him to choose a suitable mate!”
Gerald shook his head slowly, his expression thoughtful. “Other Alpha heirs like Ethan Quinn and Gabriel
Andrews aren’t mated either.”
He gestured dismissively. “There’s no rush to force these arrangements.”
“But their packs already have the next generation secured!” I retorted, my voice rising with frustration. “We need Connor to produce heirs!”
Gerald’s eyes hardened slightly, his patience wearing thin. “Connor knows what he’s doing.”
He leaned back in his chair, his tone becoming more pointed. “And he still favors Olivia Winters, whether you like it or not.”
My face twisted with disgust at the mention of that girl’s name. “Olivia is too independent and disrespectful to pack hierarchy!”
My voice carried bitter resentment. “She would never submit properly to Rivers pack authority!”
Gerald’s expression darkened dangerously, his wolf stirring with warning. “You shouldn’t be so controlling, Eleanor.”
His tone carried the authority of the former pack Alpha. “Your interference is driving Connor away from the family.”
“I’m protecting our pack’s future!” I argued, my voice cracking with emotion. “Someone has to ensure proper bloodline continuation!”
Gerald stood abruptly, his patience finally exhausted. He headed for the door without another word. “You are so stubborn,” he muttered under his breath as he left the study.
(Olivia’s POV)
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, I returned to Moonlaw Legal Services to resume work after the holiday break. My amber eyes held a new determination as I settled back into my routine.
The events of recent weeks had strengthened my resolve to build my own future in the legal profession. Connor’s words in the garden still echoed in my mind, but I refused to let them define me.
I was reviewing case files when my office door opened without warning. The farmiliar scent of expensive perfume and barely contained hostility filled the air.
Vanessa Reed stood in my doorway, adorned in luxury branded attire and carrying a limited edition Hermès Luna Collection handbag. Her violet eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction.
“Excuse me,” I said sharply, holding up my hand as I continued my phone call with a client. “I’m in the middle of an important conversation.”
Vanessa ignored my protest and walked into my office uninvited. She settled into the chair across from my desk with the confidence of someone who owned the place.
My wolf bristled at her audacity. The disrespect was intentional and calculated.
I finished my call quickly, my amber eyes never leaving Vanessa’s smug face. “What do you want?”
“Surprise!” Vanessa’s voice dripped with false sweetness. “I have wonderful news to share with you, Olivia.”
Her silver-gray wolf practically purred with vindictive pleasure beneath her human facade. “I’ve invested in this firm. I’m now one of the behind-the-scenes bosses.”
My blood ran cold as the implications hit me. “What are you talking about?”
“That makes me your superior,” Vanessa continued, her violet eyes sparkling with cruel delight. “Isn’t that delicious? The power dynamic has completely reversed.”
I gripped my pen so tightly it nearly snapped. “You can’t be serious.”
“Oh, but I am.” Vanessa leaned back in her chair, savoring every moment of my shock. “I’ve always wanted to be in a position to make your life miserable.”
My wolf snarled beneath the surface, barely contained by my human form. The tension between us was palpable.
“I’ve always despised you, Olivia Winters,” Vanessa said with a cold smile. “Now I finally have the power to do something about it.”
“The feeling is entirely mutual, Vanessa,” I retorted, my own wolf bristling at the challenge. “Your hatred doesn’t surprise me in the least.”
Vanessa’s expression shifted to one of mock sympathy. “Forgot to tell you something else. Grandmother Eleanor is introducing Connor to potential mates.”
Her voice carried false concern that made my stomach turn. “You and my foster brother are impossible now.
The matchmaking has already begun.
I felt a sharp pang in my chest, but I refused to let her see my pain. Instead, I turned the tables with calculated precision.
“That’s wonderful news,” I said, my amber eyes flashing with sharp Intelligence. “It shows that without me you still can’t become Connor’s mate.”
Vanessa’s confident expression faltered slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Your grandmother is even arranging blind dates for him,” I continued mercilessly “How can you still smile? If I were you, I would hide in my den and howl all day.”
The words hit their mark perfectly. Vanessa’s face contorted with rage as I struck at her deepest insecurity.
“I will never mate with anyone but Connor!” she declared, her voice shaking with venom. “And you will never be with him either!”
Her wolf snarled beneath the surface, barely contained by her human form. The threat hung in the air between us like poison.
I began packing my belongings with deliberate calm, my movements precise and controlled. “Then I wish you good luck with that impossible dream.”
“What are you doing?” Vanessa questioned, confusion and growing alarm creeping into her voice.
I ignored her completely, gathering my personal items and important documents. My decision was already made.
Without another word, I left my office and headed straight to Thomas Wilson’s office. The bespectacled director looked up in surprise as I knocked on his door.
“Olivia! Welcome back,” he said warmly. “How were your holidays?”
“Director Wilson, I need to submit my resignation,” I announced without preamble, placing the formal letter on his desk.
