Chapter 383: Lucas Makes a Run for It

(Amelia’s POV)

My phone buzzed continuously with a flurry of notifications from the elite pack group chat.

+25 Points

Natasha, who loved abusing her power as the group chat administrator, sent a message that instantly

caught my eye.

[Amelia, Lucas just left the group chat.]

Almost immediately, another gossipy member chimed in to add a juicy update to the unfolding drama.

[Not just left. I heard from a reliable source that he is packing his bags and planning to leave the country tonight.]

I clicked my tongue in sheer amusement, shaking my head at the glowing screen in my hand.

He was truly a sore loser who could not even face the consequences of his own arrogant mistakes.

Beside me, Theodore had been resting quietly with his eyes peacefully closed against the afternoon light.

Hearing my soft scoff, he slowly opened his eyes, the intense golden depths shimmering with a predatory

grace.

He looked at me with a hint of gentle curiosity softening his sharp features. “What is wrong?”

I shrugged casually and turned my phone screen toward him so he could read the chaotic chat.

I told him how Lucas was desperately trying to flee abroad to avoid honoring our previous public bet.

The coward knew he was about to be humiliated in front of everyone, so he chose to run away like a

beaten dog.

Without missing a beat, I typed a light, mocking message directly into the main group chat.

[Did Lucas really think leaving the group and fleeing the country would magically save him from this disaster?]

Then, I boldly asked the remaining members for his exact residential address, daring anyone to hide him.

Within seconds, a highly enthusiastic group member privately messaged me his precise location in the

city.

I typed out a quick message of gratitude before posting a public announcement for every single member

to see.

[It does not matter where Lucas tries to hide his cowardly face. On the 25th, I will livestream exactly on time.]

[I will make him publicly bow and admit defeat before the entire Pack, not a single minute late.]

As soon as my message was sent, a so–called peacemaker popped up in the chat to offer uninvited

advice.

They cautiously advised me to stop while I was ahead and simply let the poor guy off the hook.

I sneered at the screen and ruthlessly fired back a response without a shred of mercy or hesitation.

[Are you generously offering to take Lucas’s public punishment in his place?]

That completely shut them up. The person immediately went silent, and absolutely no one else dared to

defend the fleeing coward.

I put down my phone on the mahogany desk and stretched my arms above my head, feeling a surge of

dark satisfaction.

My mind began to rapidly calculate exactly how I should intercept this pathetic excuse for a wolf before his flight.

Theodore let out a low, rumbling chuckle that vibrated pleasantly through his broad, muscular chest.

He reached out and traced my knuckles gently, telling me with absolute confidence to leave this trivial

matter to him.

He immediately picked up his own phone and dialed Marcus’s number without a second thought.

His tone was cold and commanding as he ordered Marcus to pass a strict, undeniable warning to Alpha

Lloyd.

Until Lucas fully fulfilled his bet with me, he was absolutely forbidden from stepping a single foot outside

the country.

I tilted my head, feeling a sudden wave of genuine confusion wash over my calculating mind.

The Lloyd family had always been deeply dependent on the Drake Pack for their financial and political

survival.

Since their interests were so tightly bound together, why would they suddenly fear the Crimson Moon

Pack’s sudden interference?

Theodore ended the call and set his phone down, his handsome face remaining perfectly calm and

unreadable.

He looked deeply into my eyes and patiently explained the harsh, unspoken reality of our ruthless world.

“Among powerful Packs and their allies, there is only ever one currency power and gain.”

He explained that with the Drake Pack currently facing utter ruin, every family in Northgate City was panicking internally.

They were all desperately searching for a safe exit strategy to protect their own wealth and status.

They had only clung to the Drake Pack for massive financial gains and political leverage in the past.

Now, to avoid being dragged down into the abyss with them, everyone desperately wanted to cut all ties

completely.

Once they lost their massive financial backer, the Lloyd family would naturally have to weigh their limited options carefully.

They would have to seriously consider whether they could truly afford to offend the mighty Crimson Moon Pack right now.

(Author’s POV)

After the daily acupuncture treatment concluded, Amelia routinely helped Theodore practice his grueling standing exercises.

The two of them stood incredibly close together in the quiet sanctuary of his spacious office.

Their breathing intertwined softly, and each other’s warm body heat was intimately palpable in the narrow space between them.

Theodore looked down at the stunning woman standing just inches away from his broad chest.

The deep affection swirling in his golden eyes grew increasingly intense and utterly impossible to hide from her gaze.

He gently reached out and wrapped his large, calloused hand around her slender, delicate fingers.

His voice was incredibly low and tender as he asked her a sudden, deeply emotional question.

If his crippled legs fully recovered, what was the very first thing she wanted him to do for her?

Amelia did not even hesitate for a single second before giving her bold, straightforward answer.

She looked straight into his golden eyes and told him simply to kiss her.

Theodore’s lips curved into a breathtaking smile as he gently reminded her of their past intimacy.

He softly pointed out that they had already shared several passionate kisses before this moment.

Amelia shook her head slightly, a stubborn yet deeply affectionate gleam shining in her bright sapphire

eyes.

She argued that all those previous times, he had been sitting helplessly in his restrictive wheelchair.

When he was finally healed, she wanted him to stand tall and kiss her properly as a strong Alpha.

She wanted to be the one forced to tilt her head up to receive his dominant, passionate kiss.

Theodore let out a soft breath, finding her reasoning incredibly endearing and perfectly valid to his possessive wolf.

He slowly lowered his head and pressed a gentle, lingering kiss against the soft back of her hand.

He solemnly promised that the moment his legs healed, he would gladly be the one bending down to kiss

her.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Alpha Lloyd received the chilling warning relayed directly by

Marcus.

After hanging up the phone, his face turned a dark, thunderous shade of gloomy grey.

He immediately summoned his head butler to the study to demand the exact whereabouts of his foolish

son.

The butler nervously reported that Lucas was currently upstairs frantically packing his luxury luggage.

The boy was preparing to flee abroad under the pathetic guise of taking a sudden, relaxing “vacation.”

Alpha Lloyd slammed his fist on the desk and furiously ordered his guards to intercept the boy

immediately.

Lucas was to be dragged back, locked securely inside the house, and forbidden from taking a single step

outside for three days.

The butler hesitated, expressing deep concern over the upcoming public humiliation his young master

would face.

He worried that forcing Lucas to attend the bet in three days would completely destroy the young man’s dignity forever.

Alpha Lloyd’s tone was ice–cold and utterly resolute as he dismissed the foolish, sentimental concern.

Compared to the future survival of the Lloyd Pack, his useless son’s face meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme.

Lucas had never achieved a single thing in his life, and his fragile pride was entirely worthless to the family.

Alpha Lloyd turned his gaze back to the glowing computer monitor resting on his massive desk.

He stared at the stock charts of the Drake Pack’s affiliated enterprises, which were plummeting like a

free–falling stone.

A profound wave of lingering fear washed over his aging heart as he watched the red lines crash.

Initially, everyone in the elite circle firmly believed Amella was digging her own grave by offending the powerful Drakes.

No one ever imagined that the mighty Drake Pack would be the one facing total, irreversible annihilation,

To prevent his own family from being swallowed by this massive storm, he had to act ruthlessly and

quickly.

He needed to seriously consider how to completely sever all ties with the sinking Drake Pack before it

(Chapter 383 Lucas Makes a Run for it was too late.

Inside the luxurious top–floor VIP room of Night City, the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense and

dangerous.

Griffin violently hurled a full bottle of premium whiskey directly at the massive television screen on the

wall.

The news broadcast was playing the humiliating scene of Matriarch Octavia confessing and being

arrested on a continuous loop.

Wade stood trembling in the dark shadows, reporting in a low voice that the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them.

Griffin clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned a stark, bone–chilling white.

The shattered glass from the bottle sliced deep into his palm, causing dark crimson blood to seep out

steadily.

Yet, he felt absolutely no physical pain, only a raging inferno of unquenchable fury burning violently in his

chest.

He aggressively dialed Jade’s phone number again, but the line continuously rang out without a single

answer.
