My gaze fell upon the dazzling jewelry, my eyes widening in surprise.
My wolf was captivated by its beauty; the moonstone pulsed with a strange energy, matching the intensity of Grayson’s scent.
I couldn’t help but lean closer to Grayson, my breath catching in my throat as I whispered, “This piece isn’t even in the auction scroll.”
He tilted his head slightly, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. His warm breath brushed against my ear as he murmured in a deep, magnetic voice,
“I had the organizers add it, just for you.”
His scent, rich and musky, sent a shiver down my spine. My wolf felt a surge of something akin to adoration.
In that moment, I understood his intention and chuckled softly.
My wolf purred with contentment. My smile was genuine, my eyes sparkling like the moonstones themselves.
Not far off, Jared watched our intimate exchange, his anger simmering to a furious boil. His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing ragged, his muscles taut; he looked like a cornered wolf ready to strike.
His wolf was consumed by jealousy and rage.
He lunged toward Grayson and me. But Caleb reacted swiftly, grabbing Jared’s arm with surprising strength, halting his impulsive attack. Leaning close, he whispered, “Jared, calm yourself. This isn’t the place to cause a disturbance.”
The Moonstone Grotto was under the protection of the powerful Silvermoon Pack; no one dared to raise a fight.
“Besides, we secured Emily a necklace,” Caleb added calmly, trying to soothe his brother.
Jared flung off Caleb’s hand, his anger blazing.
He roared, “Buying Emily the necklace is the end of it? Didn’t you see Grayson disrespecting me in front of her?!”
His wolf was howling with fury, its scent sharp and threatening.
His voice echoed through the grotto, drawing curious glances from other wolves.
Caleb frowned; of course, he’d seen it. But they had disrespected me in front of my face, stealing the Heart of the Moon while feigning honor for Emily. My wolf growled low in my chest, a low hum of simmering anger.
Jared stormed away from his seat, heading towards me, his expression a mask of furious confrontation.
But suddenly, his path was blocked by two imposing figures–Pack Enforcers, their presence a silent warning.
One of them said politely, “Sir, loud outbursts are forbidden here; you’re disturbing other guests; please leave.”
Their tone was polite, but their eyes held an unwavering firmness.

Before Jared could react, the Enforcers had restrained his arms.
Despite his considerable strength, his struggles were useless against their trained expertise. They escorted him towards the exit, his claws scrabbling against the polished stone floor.
“Let me go!” he snarled, his wolf spitting defiance.
They ignored him.
Emily’s eyes reddened; she chased after him, stopping near me, glaring at me tearfully. Her voice was thick with grievance and anger.
“Isabella, you’ve gone too far!”
With that, she quickly followed Jared, her paws thudding against the stone.
I raised my gaze, my expression calm and unyielding, my voice cold and distant.
“Will Mr. Miller be criticizing me as well?” My wolf felt no remorse.
Caleb was stung by my unfamiliar tone and address, his brow furrowing as he spoke with a hint of
pleading.“Isabella, I’ll speak to Jared. I’ll secure another necklace for you later, okay?” His wolf was desperate to soothe me.
