“Dream on.”
His arm settled around my shoulders, his powerful frame dwarfing mine, radiating a rebellious charm laced with an almost arrogant grace.
My wolf bristled at the casual dominance of his presence, a low growl rumbling deep in my chest.
“Want to bring my sister back to the Miller pack if you lose? Jared, you’re shameless.” Grayson’s eyebrow arched, a playful glint in his eyes.
“Though my sister will win, she can’t be the wager.
As for the stakes…”
His
gaze dropped to me, a tender expression softening his features, his lips curving into a slight smile.
His scent, sharp and musky, filled my senses, triggering a wave of warmth that momentarily calmed my
unease.
“Sister, name your conditions; I’m betting you win.”
I offered a slight smile, my gaze unwavering.
“A public apology, admitting they hindered my studies within the Pack Council.”
“That’s too easy on them,” Grayson chuckled, loosening his collar, revealing his sharp jawline.
His voice was low, confident.
“Let’s make it five thousand silver coins more, so my sister can have some extra spending money.”
He spoke casually, as if five thousand silver coins were insignificant.
The sheer power he exuded made my wolf shiver.
Jared’s face was livid; his fists clenched.
“Fine, I’m in!”
“Jared!” Caleb tried to stop him, but it was too late.
He rubbed his temples, the strain evident.
Jared was far too impulsive for his own good!
‘But if you lose, I don’t want your silver coins.
Just a public apology to Emily, and you have to return to my pack!”
Jared secretly resolved that even if I returned, I wouldn’t be a main member again.

He’d assign me menial tasks a punishment designed to break my spirit.

Chapter 37
My wolf snarled at the thought, the injustice of it burning.
Deal, but you also need to apologize to my brother for your bad attitude towards him,” I added.
Though I’d soon be wealthy, Grayson was protecting me.
I couldn’t let him bear the brunt of Jared’s anger alone.
Grayson smirked, his voice lazy and low.

“Looks like my sister’s got my back.” His alpha scent intensified, a subtle declaration of protectiveness that sent a shiver down my spine.
My ears burned; I lowered my lashes, my fingers fidgeting nervously.
My wolf was acutely aware of the unspoken emotions swirling between us.
Jared’s expression darkened, his wolf’s displeasure palpable.
In the past, I’d chased after them, calling them brothers.
Now, I called Grayson, their enemy,“brother” so easily! Had I been secretly plotting with Grayson?
Or was this a deeper bond, something more primal than mere strategy?
My wolf was confused, my human heart uncertain.
