“No need,” Rebecca said with calm determination. “I can afford to play. Everyone else can do it, so can I.”
Her eyes scanned the room, considering her options. Connor was obviously off-limits as Olivia’s intended mate. Gabriel was sitting with his girlfriend Sophie Shaw.
Rebecca’s gaze wandered between Adrian and Tyler. Tyler’s heart rose with faint hope and anticipation.
After only a moment’s hesitation, Rebecca made her choice. She met Tyler’s eyes directly.
“I… I like you,” she said nervously, stumbling over the words. “Can we date?”
Tyler was secretly delighted. Although he knew it was just a game, he couldn’t help but smile with genuine warmth.
His eyes filled with laughter as he replied gently, “Yes.”
Rebecca nodded lightly. “Thank you.”
Everyone assumed this was just game cooperation. They thought Tyler was simply playing along with the rules.
Only Tyler himself and Olivia knew that his feelings for Rebecca were completely genuine.
The game entered the next round with fresh energy. Cards were shuffled and dealt once again.
Summer revealed the Alpha card with a triumphant smile. She cast a meaningful look at Miranda before making her announcement.
“Hearts A, French kiss Alpha Connor for ten minutes.”
The noisy lounge suddenly fell silent. Everyone realized the inappropriate nature of the command directed at another’s intended mate.
“Who is Hearts A? Come out quickly,” Summer smiled and shouted, as if she hadn’t noticed the weird atmosphere.
Miranda recalled the meaningful smile Summer had given her just moments before. Suddenly she realized something crucial.
She felt a slight raised crease on the back of her card. This card had been marked deliberately.
Summer was the one who had shuffled and dealt the cards. She had deliberately set up this situation to create tension between Miranda and Olivia over Connor
(Third person’s POV)
Summer laughed brightly, her water-blue eyes sparkling with mischief. “Who is Hearts A? Come out quickly!”
The yacht lounge fell into an uncomfortable silence. Connor’s ice-blue eyes turned glacial, his Alpha aura radiating dangerous displeasure that made the air itself feel heavy.
Miranda pursed her lips and slowly revealed her card. The Hearts A gleamed under the lounge lighting, its slightly raised edge visible to those who looked closely.
The assembled werewolves sensed Connor’s barely controlled fury. No one dared to speak or even breathe too loudly.
Suddenly, Olivia let out a cold sneer. Her Luna authority surfaced like a rising tide, making lesser wolves instinctively want to submit.
When she looked at Summer, her amber eyes were laced with a cold light that cut through the pretense. “Miss Summer, you really know how to pick your targets for this little scheme.”
Summer made a defiant face and met Olivia’s gaze with a smile. Her own wolf refused to back down despite the Luna’s obvious displeasure.
“Isn’t this just a wonderful coincidence?” Summer’s voice carried false innocence that fooled no one.
Miranda looked at Olivia with deep embarrassment. Her wolf whimpered at the tension crackling between two powerful females.
“Olivia, I’m sorry. My friend didn’t know you and Connor had reconciled. I apologize on her behalf.”
But Olivia remained unimpressed by the weak apology. Her response carried the cutting precision of a future
Luna.
“I don’t see any genuine remorse in Miss Summer’s expression.”
Summer’s facade cracked as she defended her actions. Her voice rose with righteous indignation that rang hollow in the charged atmosphere.
“I’m helping you! Who in Harbor City doesn’t know you’ve been pining for Alpha Connor for years?”
The public exposure hit Miranda like a physical blow. Her face went white with humiliation.
“You’re not going to seize such a perfect opportunity to claim what you want?” Summer continued relentlessly.
Miranda’s composure finally shattered. She grabbed Summer’s arm with bruising force, her wolf snarling with rage and betrayal,
“How dare you!” Miranda’s voice/cracked with pain and fury.
She dragged a protesting Summer toward the lounge exit. Their friendship fractured audibly under the weight of pack politics and unrequited bonds.
“Miranda, wait! I was just trying to help-” Summer’s protests fell on deaf ears.
“You’ve helped enough!” Miranda’s voice echoed through the yacht’s corridors as they disappeared.
Their heated argument could be heard even after they left the lounge. Miranda’s voice carried back, pained but resolute with finality.
“From today on, I, Miranda Blackwood, no longer harbor any feelings for Alpha Connor Rivers. I give up my pursuit.”
The declaration resonated with ancient pack tradition. The formal renunciation marked the end of years of hope and longing.
An awkward silence filled the room after their departure. The remaining werewolves processed the dramatic confrontation with uncomfortable awareness.
Ethan Quinn cleared his throat, his jovial nature attempting to restore pack harmony. “Well, that was intense.
How about we head to the main deck for the feast?”
His suggestion offered everyone an escape from the suffocating tension. Several pack members nodded eagerly at the distraction.
Lily moved closer to Olivia, her expression filled with supportive concern. “Don’t let that manipulative she-wolf get to you, Olivia.”
Rebecca Frost nodded in agreement. “Summer’s actions were nothing more than a malicious attempt to cause discord between destined mates.”
Connor pulled Olivia into his arms without hesitation. His Alpha instincts demanded he comfort and protect his intended mate after the challenge to their bond.
His voice was firm with Alpha authority as he addressed her concerns. “Olivia, if you’re uncomfortable remaining on this vessel, we can leave immediately.”
“I’ll have Frank arrange for our helicopter to retrieve us,” he continued, his protective instincts fully engaged.
Olivia shook her head, her Luna strength showing clearly. She refused to be driven away by petty pack politics.
“I know you would never dishonor our mate bond by participating in such games with her. So I’m truly fine.”
Connor pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. His wolf purred at her trust in their bond, the sound rumbling through his chest.
“I will never do anything that would risk losing you, my Luna,” he whispered against her skin.
Seeing the tender display of their mate bond strengthening rather than weakening. Lily gestured for the others to give the couple privacy.
Ethan Quinn, Rebecca, Tyler Davis, Gabriel Andrews, and a somber Adrian Sinclair quietly exited the lounge. They left the Alpha and his intended Luna alone to reinforce their connection.
