Chapter303.
“Isabella’s words are sharp as claws,” Emily’s voice, laced with hurt and frustration, echoed in the quiet den.
“With a few well–chosen phrases, she’s the shining Luna, and I’m just another pack member… but it’s fine; it’s not the first time she’s looked down on me.”
Her wolf whimpered, a low, mournful sound.
“But I poured my heart and soul into this project, traveling across many territories to secure the best equipment… Does she care at all?”
Her voice cracked, tears welling in her eyes.
She sobbed softly, her body shaking like a pup caught in a blizzard.
Mason felt a pang of sympathy. My wolf felt a prickle of guilt; I had been ruthless. I had the right to promote myself, but to destroy Emily’s hard work? Emily didn’t crave power; she simply sought to excel in her duties. And I had tossed her dreams aside like worthless scraps!
My wolf hung its head in shame. I had been heartless!
“Mason…” Emily whispered, weakly wiping her tears, but the sadness remained in her eyes.“I understand if my sister doesn’t want the project… she has grand ambitions… but this is my first project, like my own pup… Brother, can you help me reclaim it?”
Without hesitation, Mason responded, “Of course!” His wolf promised protection. Securing the project would soothe Emily’s pain. So, when the host announced the starting bid, Mason quickly raised his paddle.
“3.5 million!” Even though he’d jumped the starting price by 500,000, Emily’s anger flared.
Her wolf bared its teeth;
she’d spent six or seven million to acquire the project’s rights, using countless favors.
But now it was being auctioned off at 3.5 million? He was a healer; how could he not recognize its value?
Such a waste of his keen senses!
While fury boiled within her, she also worried about competing bidders. The tension in the air was thick enough to taste.
