Chapter 559
The dungeon beneath the pack–villa was dark and damp, the air thick with the reek of blood and the scent of rotting earth.
Leo was a patheric heap of a he–wolf, huddled in the corner. His stomach wound, neglected by the pack–healers, was already festering, and cold sweat beaded on his skin. But even that physical pain couldn’t compare to the sheer terror I could see consuming his soul.
knew what Grayson was capable of. My wolf, Luna, paced with a dark satisfaction within me, remembering how he’d handled Sean, the Fourth Master‘ who’d once ruled the city’s shadow–clans with an iron fist. He’d kowtowed like a mangy omega before Grayson, begging for mercy, only to be Iragged out and dealt with by the Alpha’s enforcers.
Grayson…
That he–wolf was a devil. And I, Isabella, was the treasure that devil held in his palm. My wolf leaned into the thought of his possessiveness, her golder yes glowing with a reflected heat.

The iron door swung open, and I stepped inside, silhouatted against the dim moonlight.
co’s pupils contracted sharply. His entire body spasmed with an uncontrollable tremor, his teeth clattering together.
Don’t come closer. Don’t you dare come closer,” he choked out, scrambling backward on the floor, desperate to get away from me. His back slammed nto the cold, unforgiving stone wall, leaving him no escape.
walked, step by deliberate step, until I stood directly over him, looking down. My eyes were cold, utterly devoid of warmth or empathy, as if I were taring down at an inanimate object, a thing without any trace of life.
Do you want to live?” I asked, my voice barely a whisper.
eo gasped, as if an invisible Alpha–command had tightened around his throat, nodding frantically. Guttural sounds rattled in his chest. Yes! He anted to, desperately. He craved survival more than anything.

crouched down, my shadow falling completely over him. I met his gaze. We were so close I could almost feel his ragged breath. He could smell the aint scent of my pheromones–frost and lilies–a stark contrast to the blood and mildew that clung to the air in the dungeon.
The dim light etched the contours of my face. My eyes, still and calm, held no discernible emotion as I stared at him, like two bottomless pools of icy

was as if a taut string inside Leo’s mind snapped with a sharp pop. He stared at me, his gaze distant and fixed, as if the world and its pains had somentarily vanished.
et him… keep lying to Wendy?
le probably thought I was going to kill him, or worse, make him beg for death. But I told him to keep lying to Wendy?
Why?”
You don’t deserve to know why.” My voice turned icy. “You just need to know what to do.”

But… but what if she finds out…?”

But you,” he continued, looking up at me, his eyes wide, “Your goal is clearly Wendy’s entire fortune! Even if I’m her brother, if I take everything she has, he’ll fight me tooth and nail!”

Leo lowered his head, and I watched the calculations bloom in his eyes. He was already trying to figure out how to profit from the situation. I watched the greed flicker in his eyes and let out a soft scoff.
Don’t forget, you’ve already ‘spent hundreds of millions of dollars of hers. Do you really think she’ll let you get away with that?”
Leo’s body gave a slight tremor.
If you do exactly as I say, I won’t just make sure you walk away alive when this all blows up.”
I held up three slender fingers, my voice a silken promise laced with deadly allure. Tll also give you thirty million dollars.”
Thirty million dollars!
Leo’s breathing hitched instantly. His fear gave way to a ravenous, all–consuming greed. On one side was death. On the other, thirty million dollars and a life.
Did he even need to think about it? And his guilt for his sister, Wendy? What was that? He was a scumbag he–wolf, always had been. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for the scent of gold.
I’ll do it! Miss Miller, I’ll do anything you say!” Leo practically groveled at my feet, clutching at my boots as if I were his last hope for salvation.
I knew he’d make that choice. For a gambler, you don’t test their humanity; you just offer them a price they can’t refuse. Only someone as gullible as Wendy would ever fall for a gambler’s empty promises about pack–family bonds.
‘Wendy’s company, her shares, real estate–every single asset she has that can be converted to cash, make sure she liquidates it all. You come up with the

Leo nodded vigorously, his head bobbing like a chicken pecking grain.
I understand! I get it!”

Yes, Miss.”
Stepping out of the dungeon, the blinding sunlight of the Silvermoon territory made me squint. I focused my mind, tapping my Howlnet comms. Faye, I need you to acquire every single asset Wendy is trying to sell off. Drive the price down as low as possible.”
And, I need you to monitor every single payment Wendy sends to Leo. Make absolutely sure every last cent of it flows straight into our pockets.”

disconnected and looked at the clear blue sky, a chillingly cold smile playing on my lips.
Wendy really thought she could drain the Grant Clan dry again, just like she did in my past life? Even if she tried to divorce her way into our ack–assets, there was no chance in hell she’d get a single cent!
And on top of that, I was going to make sure Wendy coughed up every cent she’d ever taken from the Grant Clan, with interest. Silvermoon First Healing Sanctuary, a top–tier Alpha suite.
A faint scent of antiseptic and healing herbs hung in the air, but the sunlight streaming in through the floor–to–ceiling windows seemed to dilute it. Grandpa Grant, dressed in a loose hospital gown, was slowly pacing the room, accompanied by a pack–physiotherapist. His steps were steady and trong, his complexion ruddy, and his voice boomed.
t was indeed a top–tier Alpha suite at the Sanctuary. The antiseptic smell that usually clung to healing halls felt even further diluted here, practically hased away by the bright sunshine pouring in through the windows.
Grandpa Grant, dressed in a loose gown, slowly walked across the room, supported by his therapist. His steps were steady, his face was rosy, and his voice boomed with vigor.
Lee, you’re barely putting any effort into this,” he chuckled. “It’s like you haven’t eaten all day!”
Grandpa Grant was even in good enough spirits to joke with his physical therapist, who stood nearby, dripping with sweat and clearly on edge.
At the other end of the room, the Sanctuary Director and several specialists stood, each clutching the latest neural–test reports. Their expressions were

a study in bewilderment, as if they’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.
The neural–scans show the hemorrhage has completely absorbed,” one of them murmured, and the damaged wolf–neurons… they’re actually repairing themselves?”
The head of neurology, an expert nearing sixty, adjusted his glasses, turning the scans over and over in his hands, muttering softly to himself.
This isn’t scientific…” he whispered, “It’s… a miracle.”
Another specialist pointed to the cardiovascular monitoring data, his voice trembling.

Look here, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation…” I heard the medical professional’s voice, reviewing the report. All indicators are more stable than a twenty–something pup! How does this look like someone who just recovered from an acute cerebral hemorrhage
“It’s like… he’s been rejuvenated!”
Carson stood there, absorbing every word from the specialists. I watched as the rigid tension in his shoulders finally loosened, a silent exhale escaping him. It was as if a heavy weight he’d been carrying–the fear of losing the Clan Elder–had finally, finally, been set down.
“Director, how’s my father doing?” Carson’s voice was laced with a tension I could feel through the air.
The Director quickly set down the report in his hand and hurried over to Carson, his face glowing with barely contained excitement.
“Mr. Grant,” he practically beamed, “Congratulations! Your father’s recovery is extraordinary–no, it’s nothing short of a miracle!”
“Judging by his condition,” the Director continued, “he’ll be discharged and able to return home for quiet recuperation in three days at most. And we’re assessed that this neural–rift won’t leave him with any lasting complications whatsoever.”
No lasting complications whatsoever!
I watched Carson’s shoulders visibly drop, a deep sigh escaping him, as if a massive weight had finally lifted from his Alpha spirit. He offered a solem thank you to the experts, personally seeing them out of the ward.
I knew the moment the door clicked shut, a quiet hush fell over the room, leaving only Carson and his father. Luna settled within me, the scemo healing and victory sweet in our noses.
