The Alpha of Moonshield Pack set his wine glass down, smiling politely. “It’s an honor for Moonshield Pack to work with Eclipse Pack. We’ll make sure not to disappoint you, Mr. Ortega. Cheers to a successful partnership!”
He tipped his glass back and finished the wine in one gulp, his eyes gleaming with determination.
Once I saw that the contract details were settled, I finally felt relieved. At least this trip wasn’t for nothing.
My stomach was growling, so I picked up my fork and focused on the ribs on my plate.
Inside, Alice grumbled, “These ribs are too soft. The ones we had back at Glacier Pack were chewier. But hey, food’s food.”
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone was getting a little tipsy. Samson excused himself and went to the
restroom.
He hadn’t been gone for long when Harlee swaggered over with a drink in hand, the strong smell of alcohol hitting me before he even spoke. He plopped his glass down in front of me. “Amanda, have a drink
with me.”
I frowned and pushed the glass aside. “Sorry, I don’t drink.”
Alice snorted in my head. “Ugh, this creepy old gamma. He’s definitely up to no good. Don’t bother with him!”
Harlee’s expression darkened immediately. He grabbed the wine bottle and poured it into my glass, spilling red wine all over the table. “I told you to drink. Don’t make me say it twice. You think I can’t have you kicked out of Eclipse Pack with one word?”
The Moonshield Alpha pretended not to see any of it. He even turned away, sipping his wine like this was none of his business.
In their eyes, I was just a stand-in assistant. Plain-looking, no background. Someone they could bully without consequence. After all, their deal with Eclipse Pack mattered a lot more than I did.
Alice was fuming. “They’re really testing us now! Do they think you’re that easy to push around?”
I bit down my anger and said as calmly as I could, “Sorry, Gamma. I really can’t drink.”
Instead of backing off, he grabbed my shoulder, his fingers digging painfully into my skin. His voice turned low and suggestive. “Amanda, don’t make me angry.”
The warmth drained from my eyes. I slapped his hand away hard and said coldly, “Gamma, please show some respect.”
“You dare talk to me like that?” he snapped. “You should be grateful I’m even giving you attention! Don’t be so shameless!” Then he raised his hand to shove me and slammed the wine bottle against the floor.

Chapter 63 Cutting Ties
The sharp sound of breaking glass exploded through the private room.
Alice barked, “That’s it-hit him! Don’t you dare hold back!”
Just then, the door burst open. Samson stood there, his face dark and terrifying.

Harlee’s face lit up like he’d found backup. He pointed at me and shouted, “Mr. Ortega! Your assistant refused to drink and disrespected me!” He reached for my wrist, trying to drag me forward like I was some kind of servant who needed to apologize.
But I didn’t wait for Samson to act. My body reacted on its own. I let out a sharp laugh and kicked him straight between the legs. Alice cheered, “Nice! That’ll hurt for a while!”
“Ahhh!” Harlee’s scream echoed through the room. He doubled over, clutching his groin, shaking from the pain.
The Moonshield Alpha rushed over, trying to smooth things over. “This is all a misunderstanding! Mr. Ortega, please don’t be angry. She’s just an assistant-if Gamma likes her, maybe you could, uh, let her…
