A shadow of concern crossed Connor’s eyes. “A contact from the police department informed me.”
My expression remained unreadable. “It was Miranda who was drugged and targeted. The attackers were after her specifically.”
I paused, watching his reaction carefully. “I simply helped rescue Miranda from a dangerous situation.”
Connor breathed a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing slightly. “I’m aware that Miranda is safe and the culprits have been apprehended,”
I nodded in acknowledgment. The case had been resolved quickly thanks to the evidence we’d gathered. Connor’s phone rang with an urgent pack business call. After answering it, his expression grew serious.
“I have to return to Rivers Pack headquarters immediately. The pack council is waiting for me.” He gestured to the nutritional supplements he’d brought. “I brought these for you.”
As Connor left, I stood there in a daze for a moment. I gazed at the pile of gift boxes containing various healing herbs and werewolf-specific tonics on my desk.
I was speechless. Why were so many supplements necessary when I wasn’t even injured?
“You don’t need to be hurt to benefit from these,” Connor said, reaching out to gently stroke my head. “Livvy, next time you encounter such danger, don’t put yourself at risk like that.”
His tender touch caused my heart to skip a beat. The warmth of his concern enveloped me completely.
Later that day, I received a call from Harrison. He wanted to meet me to discuss his divorce case.
More specifically, the severing of his mate bond with Margaret Grey. The legal implications were complex and emotionally charged.
Harrison, now discharged from the hospital and separated from Margaret, was living alone in a modest apartment. It was far from the elite werewolf districts he once called home.
As I arrived at the Shadowvale Tenement Complex, I saw Ethan Grey approaching the building. He looked disheveled in inexpensive clothes, his face unshaven.
He bore little resemblance to the polished Alpha heir he once was. The fall from grace had been swift and brutal.
Ethan’s expression turned sour as he caught my scent. Emma Thompson stepped forward protectively, sensing the tension.
“What are you doing here?” Ethan angrily questioned me. “Are you representing my parents’ bond severance case?”
His voice was filled with accusation and desperation. “I demand that you transfer it to someone else.”
“My pack is already in ruins,” he continued bitterly. “Your actions will only tear my family apart completely.” I retorted coldly, “It wasn’t my intention to break up your family. I’m trying to prevent the bond severance from happening.”
My voice was steady and firm. “It’s your mother Margaret who wants to sever the mate bond.”
Ethan was confused, his wolf agitated by the conflicting information. “That’s not what my mother told me.” “She said you were pushing for the divorce,” he said suspiciously. His eyes searched my face for deception.
I laughed mockingly at his blind reliance on his mother’s words. “Are you still tied to her apron strings like a pup?”
I headed towards the apartment building, ignoring his protests. His wounded pride was evident in every step he took.
Ethan followed, his desperation overriding his wounded ego. “Please don’t let my parents sever their mate bond.”
“I won’t let Margaret get her way in destroying what remains of your family,” I replied firmly. The determination in my voice was unmistakable.
Ethan sensed something was amiss with his mother’s story. His wolf instincts were telling him there was more to this situation.
He reluctantly followed me into the elevator. The confined space amplified the tension between us.
Upon reaching Harrison’s modest apartment, the older werewolf expressed his displeasure at seeing his son. The scent of disappointment was heavy in the air.
The once-proud Alpha looked worn down by recent events. His authority was diminished but not entirely broken.
“Father, please come home,” Ethan pleaded desperately. “We can try to salvage our pack and family unit.” Harrison’s expression hardened. “Margaret is being completely unreasonable and manipulative.”
“She’s just hurt,” Ethan argued. “You should try to understand her after so many years of being mated.” Harrison retorted bitterly, “Margaret wants to abandon us both for a more comfortable life with her wealthy connections.”
The pain in his voice was evident. Years of marriage were crumbling before our eyes.
Ethan’s anger flared suddenly. “You sent my mother evidence of father’s infidelity, didn’t you?”
He turned to me accusingly. “That’s what caused her to want the bond severance.”
Harrison turned to me with a sharp, questioning look. His wolf’s protective instincts toward his remaining family member were surfacing.
I scoffed at the accusation. “Why would I send evidence against my own client to the opposing party?”
My voice was filled with disdain. “If I truly wanted to prevent the bond severance, that would be counterproductive.”
“Margaret likely discovered the evidence herself,” I pointed out logically. “She’s now trying to manipulate you into hating me and distrusting your own father.”
Ethan acknowledged my point with reluctant understanding. The logic was undeniable, even to his judgment.
I mocked him for his blind faith in his mother. “You believe everything your mother says.” led
I questioned sarcastically, “If you’re so obedient to her, why aren’t you mating with Cassandra Evans as she wanted?”
(Olivia’s POV)
Ethan’s face darkened as he said, “Olivia, you know the person I love is you.”
Haughed bitterly, the sound echoing in the cramped apartment. “Weren’t you very happy to betray me with Cassandra behind my back?”
My voice grew sharper with each word. “Didn’t your mother like Cassandra as her future daughter-in-law? How come you don’t want her now that she’s pregnant with your pup?”
Ethan staggered backward, a flash of nervousness crossing his eyes. “Olivia, don’t be angry, listen to my explanation. I was drunk that night, I mistook her for you, so I…”
“Shut up!” I was filled with disgust, my wolf recoiling at his pathetic excuses.
“Ethan Grey, you misunderstood. I brought this up purely to gloat and kick you when you’re down.”
I stepped closer, my voice dripping with satisfaction. “You and your pack bullied me so much back then, now the tables have turned, and you’ve all gotten what you deserve. I’m thrilled.”
Harrison cleared his throat loudly, breaking the tension. “Ethan, you need to leave. I have pack business to discuss with Attorney Winters.”
“Father, please-” Ethan began desperately.
“Out!” Harrison’s Alpha authority flared, even in his diminished state. “I won’t ask again.”
Ethan’s shoulders sagged in defeat. He cast one last pleading look at me before reluctantly heading toward the door.
The sound of his footsteps faded down the hallway. Harrison and I spent the next hour reviewing his case strategy and discussing werewolf mating law precedents.
When I finally emerged from the building, I was surprised to find Ethan still waiting outside. He approached me earnestly, his eyes desperate.
“Olivia, please. Can we talk?”
I walked past him without slowing down. “We have nothing to say to each other.”
“But I need you to understand-” he started.
“Leave me alone, Ethan.” My voice was ice-cold.
