Chapter 68
My hand was enveloped by a large, warm one.
Grayson’s smirk was laced with sarcasm.
“Alpha Miller, your words are chilling; I wouldn’t treat my sister that way.”
Jared’s face darkened further.
He stiffened, his voice edged with aggression.
“Is an adopted sister the same as a luna? I’m doing this for her own good!”
His wolf snarled internally; he’d never thought I’d leave; what was wrong with scolding a biological sister? I was in
the wrong; he was justified! Then the realization hit him–my leaving was final.
Before he could process this, Grayson’s wicked smile returned, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Jared’s expression shifted as he noticed Grayson’s gaze wasn’t on him, but beyond.
His face paled; he whirled around.
Emily stood nearby, her paws covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
“Emily!” Jared called out, panic seizing him.
She turned and fled, her back a picture of helpless misery.
His wolf howled in silent distress.
He abandoned Grayson and raced after her.
“Emily, that’s not what I meant; let me explain.”
Watching him go, Grayson clicked his tongue, a sound of pure sarcasm.
“He traded a watermelon for a sesame seed.” He paused.
“Forget it, don’t insult sesame seeds.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
My smile was bright, radiant, chasing away the gloom, instantly erasing the earlier sadness.
My wolf felt a surge of lightness.
Grayson held my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Let’s go home.”
“Okay,” I replied softly, letting him lead me away.
Our
paws
brushed, a silent promise passing between us.

On the way home, I handed him a data chip.
Grayson, you need this.” In my past life, Grayson’s pack experienced a security breach due to internal mishandling, leading to a three–hour network shutdown.
Despite his skills, he suffered significant losses.
Back then, I was just the Millers‘ sister; I wouldn’t have cared.
But in this life, Grayson had treated me with kindness, and I remembered it.
Yet, a worry tugged at me.
Would he accept it? Even though he acknowledged me as his sister, I was still an outsider.

This firewall patch was crucial; if I’d inserted flawed code, it could destroy Hayes’s defenses, exposing his pack’s
secrets!
I handed it over, my fingers fidgeting.
Look at it first…”
Thank you, Isabella,” he said, glancing at the label.
“Firewall patch?
His eyes sparked with excitement.
Isabella, you can code?”
I nodded.
These skills were insignificant to my brothers, but facing Grayson’s eager, serious expression, I felt a blush rise on my cheeks.
He took me to his study, opening the code and scanning through it.
His usually carefree demeanor vanished, replaced by intense focus.
My wolf sensed his intense concentration.
I watched his profile, recalling the pack’s description of him–the King of the business world.
He dominated every challenge!
Grayson, the Millers‘ nemesis, was worlds apart from them.
The difference was vast, a chasm of personality and skill.
Grayson looked at me seriously.
Isabella, you think Hayes’s firewall has vulnerabilities?”
