Theodore noticed the figure approaching him immediately. His golden eyes darkened instantly, shifting from calm to alert. Inside him, Logan let out a low, menacing growl that vibrated through Theodore’s

chest, filled with hostility and territorial aggression.

“Drive this mongrel away,” the wolf snarled in his mind, pacing restlessly. “He dares to covet our mate.”

Theodore remained outwardly calm, his face a mask of indifference. He soothed the agitated beast within his consciousness, asserting control with a firm mental command. Turning his head, he spoke gently to the imposing elderly figure beside him.

“Grandfather, you should go in first.”

Alpha King Gideon paused, his hand resting heavily on his cane. His sharp, predatory gaze swept over Damien Blackwood, who was striding toward them with clenched fists. The King’s eyes held a weight that could crush a lesser man, judging the intruder in a single heartbeat. He merely glanced at Damien, offering no words of greeting or acknowledgement, dismissing him as unworthy of attention. With a regal nod to his attendants, Gideon allowed them to support him as he walked slowly but majestically toward the entrance of the Stone River Pack House.

Damien stopped in front of Theodore. His face was a mask of dark suppression, shadowed by a mixture of jealousy and resentment. He looked down at the man in the wheelchair, his entire body radiating an unfriendly chill. The tension between them was thick enough to choke on.

“I know my status cannot compare to yours right now,” Damien began, his voice tight with suppressed anger. He stared at Theodore with undisguised bitterness. “But do not think for a second that I have given up on Amelia.”

Damien took a step closer, lowering his voice to a threatening hiss. “If you treat her with even a shred of disrespect,” he warned through gritted teeth. “If you make her unhappy, I will step in immediately. I will take her back without hesitation.”

Theodore listened to the threats with a faint, bored smile. He leisurely adjusted the cuffs of his suit, smoothing out non–existent wrinkles with deliberate slowness.

“Mr. Blackwood,” Theodore said softly, his tone polite but icy. “I am afraid you will never have that opportunity.”

He raised his eyes to meet Damien’s gaze. The golden depths were calm but terrifyingly serious. “To me, losing Amelia is equivalent to losing everything I am,” Theodore stated. “I have no intention of letting that happen.”

Theodore leaned back slightly in his chair, exuding confidence. “In fact, as a birthday gift, I am transferring

all my personal assets and territory rights to her name.”

To I

He watched Damien’s eyes widen slightly in shock.

“I will also sign a binding werewolf contract,” Theodore continued smoothly. “If I ever betray my vows to her, every single thing I own becomes hers.”

Damien stood frozen for a moment, processing the magnitude of the commitment. Then, a cold, mocking laugh escaped his lips.

“You are writing empty checks to a woman,” Damien scoffed, shaking his head. He looked disdainfully at Theodore’s paralyzed legs. “You are a cripple, Theodore,” he spat. “The position of Alpha King heir is not

secure for someone like you.”

Damien’s voice grew sharper, dripping with venom. “If you fail to become the heir, that contract is nothing but waste paper. Amelia would have no guarantee.”

Theodore’s expression did not change. “You are right,” he admitted calmly. “The agreement states that it only becomes effective once I am officially the Heir.”

“If I fail,” Theodore said, his voice steady. “Our engagement will be voided. She will be free.”

A gleam of greed flashed through Damien’s eyes. He saw a path forward. If Theodore failed to seize power, Amelia would be free again.

“Is that so?” Damien sneered maliciously. “Then I sincerely hope you never become the Alpha King.”

He turned and walked back to his car. He retrieved a leather suitcase and dropped it near Theodore’s feet

with a heavy thud.

“Give this to her,” Damien said coldly. “It is full of gifts she returned to me. I have no use for them.”

With that, Damien got into his car and sped off, leaving a cloud of exhaust behind him. Inside Theodore’s mind, Logan sneered.

“That idiot,” the wolf growled. “He has no idea we are destined to win.”

Theodore did not dignify the suitcase with a glance. He certainly had no intention of touching it. Just then, a sleek sports car pulled up. Natasha Crimson hopped out and ran over, her dress flowing behind her.

“Cousin!” she greeted him brightly.

Theodore waved her over. He pointed a long finger at the suitcase on the ground. “Damien Blackwood left that trash here,” he said indifferently. “He said it contains old items Amelia didn’t want.”

Natasha’s face twisted in disgust. “That scumbag ex–mate?” she asked, wrinkling her nose. “Why is he littering here?”

She grabbed the handle of the suitcase with two fingers, as if it were contaminated. “I will handle this trash,” she declared. “We can’t let Amelia see this rubbish on her big night.”

She dragged the case to her car and shoved it into the trunk. Dusting off her hands, she returned to Theodore. “Alright, let’s go in.”

She took the handles of his wheelchair and pushed him into the Stone River Pack House.

The main banquet hall was transformed. It was nothing like the chaotic scenes of the past. The lighting was soft and amber, creating a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. A professional chamber orchestra played soothing melodies in the corner. The room was arranged with elegant round tables, fostering a sense of intimacy. Only five tables were set for the VIP guests.
