fection for my brothers, they hadn’t treated me well, yet I was still close to Steven.

My wolf remembered the easy camaraderie we shared.

I wouldn’t just dismiss him because my brothers arrived; we were more like family, sharing meals and mutual support. After all, he was a packmate of Mason, and we were all acquainted.

Why was I sending him away after only two months?

He was entirely focused on his research, unaware of the events of the past two months, and he didn’t know that my brothers had changed, their scents now carrying a different weight.

I quickly packed up my things. Before leaving, I instructed,

“Steven, once the funding is approved, expedite the project. This is one of Fire’s most important future projects.”

My wolf softened, a sliver of protective instinct surfacing.

Although I had taken over Fire, even if the drug was developed and patented first, I wouldn’t let Steven suffer the same injustice as in the life.

past

He might avoid a repeat of his past tragedy, but this was his hard work, and I didn’t want my friend, who had always looked out for me, to be frustrated. That was why I just gave him that warning.

Steven immediately forgot his earlier surprise. “Isabella, since you said so, I’ll work overtime to complete it! Wait for my good news!” His excitement was infectious, a welcome distraction from the heaviness in my heart.

I nodded. Steven left the office even faster than me.

As I exited, my face was naturally commanding, my eyes sweeping around, then I left. The operations pack was still digesting what just happened. Seeing me come out, they all fell silent, not daring to breathe. Their scent was a mixture of fear and respect.

I walked straight to the reception area and knocked on the counter. The receptionist, having heard about my arrival at Fire and the dismissal of over a dozen pack members, was respectful, not daring to make a mistake.

It was Jared. My smile instantly vanished, my face turning cold, replaced by indifference

and aloofness. My wolf bared its teeth, a low growl rumbling in its chest.

I clenched my fists, lightly tapping the counter, and said, “From now on, anyone with the Miller surname isn’t allowed in. Just summon the pack guard to escort them out.” My tone was icy, devoid of warmth,

The receptionist was terrified.“Y–yes, Miss Miller.”

Her scent was a potent mix of fear and submission.

After giving my instructions, I turned and left. Seeing me like this, Jared felt a pang in his heart.

His wolf whimpered, sensing my icy rejection.

“Isabella, I… He hurriedly stepped forward, his tone urgent.“I came to see you.”

“See me?” I looked outside, my voice tight.

Jared thought I was worried someone was behind him, so he showed a faint smile.“It’s just me; I didn’t bring anyone else. They…” His voice trailed off, betraying his guilt,

They hadn’t treated me well, and Caleb was unconscious and couldn’t come.

The unspoken words hung heavy in the air, a lingering scent of betrayal.

“I won’t let anyone else hurt…” He tried to explain, but the words were lost in the icy air between us.

Before he could finish, I looked him up and down sarcastically,

My wolf’s sarcasm dripped with venom.

He must have taken the wrong potion to say such things to me!

Seeing my sarcasm, Jared’s face paled, and it felt like a needle had pierced his chest, hurting badly. He knew his actions had deeply hurt me, and it was only right that I hated him.

His wolf’s pain was almost tangible, a sharp, bitter ‘scent.
