“In your eyes,” I said, “only a wolf of pure Richardson blood counts as ‘one of your own,’ someone worthy of fair treatment. Your double standards and actions are more hypocritical and hurtful than the actions of those who openly bullied me. No one in the Richardson family is innocent in their downfall. I’m only taking back what’s rightfully mine.”
The moment I finished, Louisa lunged forward, her hand reaching out as if to grab my clothes, begging, but the security guard beside her swiftly blocked her.
Louisa’s POV:

“Natalie… Natalie, I know I was wrong.” All anger left my face, replaced by helplessness and despair. Remembering the warm moments Natalie and I once shared, I relied on our history to sway her in desperation.
I pleaded, “I’m getting senile, driven out of my mind by Landon’s situation. I know he wronged you, but… but you’ve nearly destroyed our family. Please… I’m begging you, for the sake of our past bond, show mercy and let Landon go.”
“I’m not holding him back. He brought this shame upon himself,” Natalie replied before turning to leave.
“Natalie!” I screamed desperately behind her, pouring all my strength into the plea. “Please, help the Richardson family! Landon knows he was wrong now. He truly loved you. He and Aaliyah have severed their bond. You two can start over completely!”
In my panic, I blurted out what was in my heart. But halfway through, I realized the man beside Natalie was not someone I could afford to offend.
“Love?” Natalie stopped walking. She didn’t turn around, but her voice carried back clearly. “Landon never loved me. He’s the fine Alpha the Richardson family carefully cultivated. Just like the rest of you, he doesn’t understand love. He lacks even the most basic decency expected of a werewolf. Besides…”
She walked back to Leonardo and tightly wrapped her arm around his. When she looked at him, her voice suddenly softened, her face filled with absolute pride.
“I already have the most perfect, most compatible soulmate in the world.”
Natalie’s POV:
Only with the Thorn Pack and Landon as a contrast did I truly understand what kind of life I longed for. It was a partner who could make my soul feel whole, whose essence resonated with

my own bloodline. It was a companion I could stand beside as an equal, facing all of the world’s challenges together. He was the destination of my heart, the source of countless heart-flutters and joys.
He would always stand by my side in life, protecting me, and I, in turn, was willing to be his constant support on his journey.
Leonardo pulled me into his embrace again, as if guarding his most treasured possession. He took two steps forward, then paused. His cold gaze fell once more on Louisa, who had slumped to the floor.
His voice was steady, yet carried the undeniable authority of a top-tier Alpha. “In your entire life, have you ever understood what true ‘bloodline compatibility’ really means?
“It isn’t just the purity of lineage or the accumulation of social status. It’s the alignment of ability, character, and soul. A mutual resonance and appreciation of spirit. Even if Natalie weren’t the heiress to the Moon-Shadowed Pack, even if the powerful Alpha blood within her hadn’t fully awakened, I would still be drawn to her resilience, to her radiant light. I would still cherish her as the greatest treasure in this world. How could I ever allow insult my bonded mate in my presence?”
With each word he spoke, more color drained from Louisa’s face.

Leonardo’s final statement plunged Louisa into utter despair. “My mate showed restraint towards the Thorn Pack and the Richardson family, but I will not. From this moment, the Thorn Pack is formally expelled from the Maritime City Werewolf United Chamber of Commerce and placed on its blacklist.
“Every single territory and asset your pack currently holds will be accounted for. For as long as the Silver-Maned Pack and the Moon-Shadowed Pack exist, the Thorn Pack will have no possibility of survival or resurgence.”
His words condemned the Richardson family to complete isolation and ruin within the entire werewolf society.
Forget Maritime City-probably no one in the national werewolf circles would dare to openly offend both the Silver-Maned and Moon-Shadowed Packs, two of the top packs.
I saw Louisa’s eyes widen in extreme terror. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Arm in arm, Leonardo and I walked away. Behind us came the guards’ urgent shouts and commotion. Louisa had fainted.
Leonardo’s POV:
Natalie and I returned to our apartment. She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the flashing ambulance lights fade into the distance below, a slight frown creasing her brow.
