Chapter 219 – Rav... Sera wants to kill me.
Daisy had barely stepped out of the pack house, the heavy air inside pressing against her chest until she couldn’t take it anymore, when she made her way into the garden, hoping the cool breeze would calm the restless tension crawling beneath her skin. She had only just begun to breathe a little easier when the mindlink slammed into her head so abruptly it made her flinch.
Her brows pulled together instantly, confusion tightening her expression as she answered, ’What are you talking about?’
The reply came fast, laced with disbelief and frustration. ’I wanted Luna Sera to teach me how to produce the cure for the chemical explosion, but can you believe she’s asking for ten billion?’
For a moment, Daisy just stood there, completely frozen, the number echoing in her head like something unreal, something that didn’t belong in her world. Ten billion.
Her eyes widened slowly, her breath catching as she tried to process it. That wasn’t just money, but a fortune she had never even come close to imagining, let alone touching.
And yet Seraphine had said it like it was nothing.
Daisy swallowed, her fingers curling slightly at her sides as a sharp, uneasy feeling settled in her chest. ’Did you tell Ravyn?’ she asked quickly.
’He’s the one who went to ask her,’ came the answer, irritation bleeding through every word. ’But he’s refusing to pay. Says we can’t afford her. Can you believe that? It’s like she’s turned into some untouchable prodigy overnight, someone no one can even get close to anymore. Even the beta is glued to her like a personal bodyguard.’
Daisy’s jaw tightened faintly.
Out of everyone, she would have preferred Ravyn being the one close to Seraphine, because at least that was something she could understand, something she could manage, but Damon... Damon was an entirely different story.
His wealth even surpassed Ravyn’s, making something uncomfortable twist deep inside her.
Her lips pressed into a thin line, determination creeping into her voice as she responded, ’Don’t worry. I’ll put her in her place. Just wait.’
There was a brief pause before the voice returned, softer this time. ’I heard she won’t be staying long.’
Daisy’s gaze drifted across the garden, her expression settling into something colder, more calculating. ’I know.’

Ravyn walked alongside Voren toward the pack office, his steps steady but his mind far from calm, finding a small measure of relief in knowing Bryan was with Seraphine.
At least for now, that responsibility wasn’t pressing down on him, giving him a narrow window to bury himself in work before everything came crashing back again.
Around them, the pack moved as usual, members busy with their routines, their voices blending into a low hum of activity.
Still, scattered along the pathways were small clusters of pack members whispering among themselves, their attention clearly focused on whatever they were discussing.
They hadn’t noticed their Alpha approaching.
