Amanda’s POV:

Michelle’s little drama didn’t leave much of a ripple. After walking into the hall with Hugh, people quickly surrounded us. Some wanted to hand me their business cards, and others tried to talk about potential partnerships. Strangely, it didn’t bother me at all.

My palms felt steady-much steadier than before. In the past, moments like this would always make my wolf spirit restless. But now, I actually feel grounded.

Inside, Alice hummed approvingly. “Notice how your wolf spirit’s been calmer lately? You’ve been making real connections-like befriending Emily-and you just handled Michelle’s mess with confidence. The more stable your emotions get, the steadier your wolf spirit becomes. Way more reliable than depending on some mate.”

A tiny smile tugged at my lips, though I didn’t answer her. My gaze drifted across the crowd-and landed on Samson. He was standing beside the champagne tower, holding a glass with his long fingers. The light from the crystal chandelier reflected off his sharp features, giving him a cold, distant look.

Alice immediately teased me. “What are you staring at? You’re totally zoning out. Don’t tell me you’ve started catching feelings for him.”

Don’t be ridiculous, I shot back silently. But as I turned my head away, I accidentally met his gaze.

My heart skipped hard. I quickly looked elsewhere, feeling heat rise to my ears-thankfully hidden under my makeup.

Still, my feet didn’t move. I stood frozen as I watched him start walking toward me.

“Are you all right?” His voice was lower than before-gentler too, carrying that deep timbre unique to an alpha.

I turned to him with a polite smile. “I’m fine. Thanks for stepping in earlier.”

Alice muttered, “At least he knows better than to pick sides like Alan did.”

He didn’t reply, just studied me for a moment, his eyes unreadable. Then he asked suddenly, “Do you know Theo?”

I blinked. “Theo?” Why would he bring him up now? Did he somehow find out Theo had helped erase the surveillance footage? I forced myself to stay calm, pretending to be puzzled. “We just met tonight at the party. Why? Is something wrong?”

Alice tensed. “Careful-he’s testing you. But don’t worry. Theo’s been with you long enough that Samson doesn’t get to play detective here.”

He stared at me for two long seconds. I didn’t say anything, but I could tell-he knew I was lying. Still, he didn’t press.

“It’s nothing,” he said flatly. “Just… be careful. Theo’s ambitious. Don’t get too close to him.”

I almost laughed in my head. Theo’s ambitious? Please. I knew exactly what kind of person Theo was. Samson was the one who misunderstood him. But I didn’t argue—just gave a quiet “Okay,” as if I agreed.

Alice started again. “Speaking of the Ortegas’ men, let’s break them down, shall we? Samson-your so- called destined mate-still can’t get over Læm. One minute, he helps you; the next, he tests you. His attitude’s all over the place.

“Derrick? Ugh. That guy ignored you for ages, but the second he saw your real face, he turned friendly. Shallow doesn’t even begin to describe him.
