Over at Starfall Mountain, George had placed all the auction items in Lillian’s room.

Chloe came by to keep her company as soon as her shift ended. When she walked in and saw everything laid out, her eyes widened. “The auction really delivered some high–quality pieces.”
Usually, the best lot was saved for the finale, but tonight, every item had been exceptional.
She’d heard through the grapevine that Eleanor was trying to secure the blue diamond as a reward for Iris giving birth to twins–and now, all those diamonds were right here with Lillian.
“Yeah,” Lillian said, leaning back. “They opened with the blue diamond. Something that valuable is normally saved for the
very end.”
She let out a light, humorless laugh. “It was a high–end event, no doubt. But going after the Graves Pack’s assets so openly now… I mean, for years I took the blame. Back then, Iris always made it seem like I was stealing from her. Well, I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.”
Now, it was just straight–up claiming what was hers.
“Exactly,” Lillian went on, her tone cool. “Whenever the Graves Pack got something good, she took it. If Julian gave anything to me, Iris would act like I’d stolen it right from her hands.”
She shook her head slowly. “The moment she put on that wounded look, Eleanor would snatch it back and hand it over to Iris. It was like everything just passed through my hands briefly.”
Even when Julian knew, he never spoke up.
All those years, anything he gave her ended up being taken away.
Small things were one matter–but what she was dealing with now was something else entirely.
Chloe nodded firmly. “That’s exactly why you need your own power and a strong pack behind you. Who cares about men? Who cares about Alphas? Especially an Alpha like Julian.”
She didn’t believe for a second that Julian was unaware of how the Graves Pack treated Lillian.
Plain and simple: as long as no one caused a public scene, he played deaf and blind.
“So when are you moving back to Graves Estate?” Chloe asked, almost eager.

She was looking forward to the chaos that would follow once Lillian returned.
After all, the Graves Pack had no clue about her ties to the Langley Pack.
Before Lillian could answer, Chloe added, “Now that I think about it, you’ve never really confronted them at the estate, have you?
“I mean, things got heated before, but they still had some breathing room.”
When Lillian wasn’t stirring trouble, they could at least hide away on their own territory.
But now, from the sound of it, Lillian intended to walk into the estate and turn everything upside down–leaving no corner untouched.
“Actually, I could go now,” Lillian said calmly. “I have all my people ready.”
“What people?”
“Household staff, a nutritionist, bodyguards–that sort of thing.”
“Wow, you’re really prepared,” Chloe remarked. “But honestly, you could recover anywhere, right?”
Lillian was no longer the pushover Eleanor could bully.
This time, when she returned to Graves Estate, she wouldn’t be the one leaving worse off.
That fate would belong to the whole lot at Graves Pack.
A cold, subtle smile touched Lillian’s eyes as she lifted her gaze.
“Let’s make it tomorrow.”
The Graves Pack’s easy days were over.
When George received Lillian’s message about moving to the estate the next day, he paused briefly.
Then he told her, “I’ll send more people with you.”
Since she was going so soon, and her body was still recovering, she’d definitely need her own team to support her once she was back in Graves territory.
Lillian gave a slight nod. “Go and prepare everything.”

George left quickly and sent a message to Edmund.
After a moment, Edmund called him directly.
George answered respectfully. “Alpha.”
Edmund’s voice was steady. “Still no idea what triggered this?”

“She hasn’t said. But from her demeanor, she’s decided the Graves Pack won’t have peace anymore.”
Edmund fell silent.
No more peace for the Graves Pack.
Whatever that old woman said to Lillian must have cut deep.
What exactly had she told her?
After a moment’s thought, Edmund gave a firm order. “Take plenty of people with you. If necessary… replace the entire Graves Pack.”
“Yes, Alpha.”

When Finn learned Lillian was moving to Graves Estate the next day, his deep voice carried a weighted tone.
“About how long…?” he asked directly over the phone.
