“Ms. Marshall, that’s not true at all,” I said, softening my stance and getting straight to the point. “You’re an exceptional young woman. It’s Liam who isn’t worthy of someone like you. If he was foolish enough to upset you, I apologize on his behalf as his father. Just tell me what compensation you want.”

I didn’t want to waste any time, so I got straight to the point. Liam was still being held in Mervia. Every minute we delayed meant more uncertainty.

The Marshall family might not rank as high as Moon-Shadowed Pack in werewolf high society, but they’d operated in Mervia for years. Their connections with the local human elite were deep. Even a powerful outsider couldn’t beat the locals-especially on their turf.

Amelia’s parents weren’t here. In my mind, Amelia was likely calling the shots herself.

“Compensation?” Amelia scoffed. “The Marshall family doesn’t need anything. And please take back the gifts Liam left last time.”

“Those gifts were given sincerely,” I continued, keeping my tone diplomatic but laced with implication. “Even if you two can’t be bonding mates, there’s no harm in being friends. In Maritime City, Moon-Shadowed Pack carries some weight. If you are good friends, I’d treat you like my own daughter. Surely that’s better than staying angry at Liam?”

I was reminding her to weigh the consequences. Making an enemy of Moon-Shadowed Pack wouldn’t make her life easy in the local werewol circles.

But Amelia was young and proud. She clearly wasn’t buying it.

“I don’t deserve that honor,” she said firmly. “Besides, after the way Liam humiliated me, having any further contact is impossible. Don’t you agree?”

Amelia refused to be swayed by either kindness or threats. My patience was wearing thin.

“Ms. Marshall, state your terms,” I said, my voice dropping. The commanding pressure of an Alpha began to fill the room. “What will it take for you to let Liam come home?”

The air in the living room froze. The butler took an uneasy half-step back.

Amelia paled slightly but held her ground. “Mr. Matthew Scott, I don’t understand what you

mean. Let him come home?”

“We both know what’s happening.” I said, standing up to look down at her. I let presence show. “You’re being extremely decisive Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to handle the fallout later?”

Amelia gritted her teeth, meeting my gaze. But her Omega instincts made her tremble slightly under the pressure of a top Alpha.

“I really don’t understand,” she said.

I stopped playing games and made it clear. “Mervia is holding Liam. I know your family’s business is all over there.”

“Our business is there. But what does that have to do with Liam being detained?” Amelia replied coolly. “Couldn’t it be that Liam did something wrong and brought this trouble on himself?”

“Ms. Marshall, I advise you to let this go. It would be better for everyone.” I had completely lost my patience. My voice turned icy, sending a chill through Amelia.

But she remained stubborn. “Mr. Matthew Scott, I don’t know anything about Liam’s situation, and I can’t control it. If that’s all you came for, you should leave now.”

Hearing that, I said nothing more. I simply nodded, gave her one last look, and turned to leave.

The coldness in that look would give her nightmares for days.

Once in my car, I immediately called Penelope.

I said, “Penelope, I need a favor. You’re quite familiar with the Marshall family, right?”

Penelope was one of the actual power players in Moon-Shadowed Pack.

She was ruthless with extensive connections. Most importantly, she owed me.

On the other end, Penelope agreed readily, but she also named her price.

I accepted.

In the power games of werewolf society, there was no such thing as free help-only equal exchange.

Liam had to come home safely.

Amelia’s POV:

After Matthew left, I sat in the living room for a long time. I only snapped out of it when the

My back was soaked with cold sweat.

Matthew was a top Alpha of Moon-Shadowed Pack. His final look was cold, filled with clear warning and menace.

I shuddered. But then, anger surged up again.

Why should I back down? Liam humiliated me in public. He ended our engagement single- handedly, making me a laughingstock in werewolf social circles. Now his father showed up, not to sincerely apologize, but to use his influence to pressure me into letting Liam go?

Just because the Scott family was powerful in Maritime City? Just because I was an Omega, the one who was “supposed to obey”?

No way!

I was never someone to be pushed around. The Marshall family might not be top-tier in werewolf aristocracy, but we’d built our business in Mervia for three generations. Our ties with the local human elite were complex and deep-rooted. No matter how far the Scott family’s influence extended, it couldn’t span the ocean.

Was Liam being detained? It served him right.

I wanted him to learn a lesson. I wanted him to understand the cost of humiliating an Omega.

My phone vibrated. My “friend” handling the matter in Mervia sent me a message, “The Scott family is making moves. The pressure is building. Are you sure you want to continue?”

I didn’t hesitate. I texted back, “Keep going.”

I wanted him to remember this.
