Now, seeing Eleanor in this state, Lillian let out a short, dry laugh. “Don’t make this difficult for the officers. Trespassing on pack lands? I belong to the Graves Pack. Moving back in here -isn’t that exactly where I should be?”

“You are not part of this pack. I don’t accept it!”

Eleanor was so furious she felt a wave of dizziness–as if she might collapse right there.

Someone like Lillian… she had never wanted her in the first place.

And she certainly couldn’t afford to have her now.

It felt as if the Graves Pack was cursed just by Lillian’s presence.

Lillian didn’t bother arguing. She simply lifted a hand, and George understood immediately, placing the mating contract into her palm.

Descending the stairs slowly, Lillian said to Eleanor, “Whether I’m part of the Graves Pack or not–that’s not really for you to decide, is it?”

“You-”

“Smack!” Before Eleanor could finish, Lillian slapped the mating contract right across Eleanor’s face.

Eleanor’s words died in her throat.

Her eyes widened, pupils shrinking as she stared at Lillian.

Arrogant. Unbelievably arrogant. Just look at what she was doing.

Lillian crossed her arms. “I’m still Julian’s true mate. Me living here is completely justified. Why would I need your permission?”

Hadn’t Julian been the one refusing to break the bond all this time?

Well, good for him–it worked perfectly in her favor now.

What better excuse to reclaim her place in the Graves territory?

Eleanor stared at the contract lying on the floor, then back at Lillian’s defiant posture.

Enraged, she snatched it up and tore it to pieces on the spot.

Lillian didn’t even flinch. “Does ripping it up change anything? The Moon Goddess and pack law recognize that bond. You could burn it to ashes–it still wouldn’t matter.”

Nothing hit harder than those words.

One clear message: no matter what Eleanor did now, she couldn’t touch Lillian.

Eleanor turned desperately toward the police.

But before she could speak, Lillian cut in smoothly. “Officers, you’re free to go. This is just a family matter. That’s not a crime, is it?”

Eleanor was left speechless.

So was everyone else in the room.

Eleanor shot Lillian a venomous glare.

Lillian kept her arms folded. “Breaking pack law, you mean? Ha…”

When she said “pack law“, her laugh came out low and dripping with mockery.

That sound alone turned Eleanor’s face deep purple.

“Fine, maybe not pack law. But what about the incident with the pup? Aren’t you going to arrest her for that?”

Lillian raised a brow. “What does that have to do with me?”

“How could it not be connected to you?”

“Just because you say it’s connected means it is? Where’s your proof?”

Eleanor spat out, “All the evidence points to you.

“Points to me? Has that been proven?”

The officers fell silent, fuming.

Lillian tilted her head. “No proof, but you’re ready to call it a crime? The police would be buried in cases if they acted on accusations like that.”

As she spoke, she offered one of the officers a calm, polite smile.

Chapter 232 Nothing Hits Harder

In the end, the police left.

Right in the middle of the heated standoff between Lillian and Eleanor.

Once they were gone, Eleanor’s anger seemed to drain all at once. She slumped onto the couch, every bit of energy leaving her body.

She had been Luna of the Graves Pack for years.

This was the first time she’d come up against someone she couldn’t control.

All those years, no matter what trouble came her way, she’d managed to handle it. Even the ugly situations. She’d always found a way.

There had been deaths under her watch, and she’d still walked away clean.

But now… Lillian.

Eleanor looked at her, teeth clenched. “You’re only getting away with this because Finn’s backing you. Lillian, I’m warning you–don’t burn all your bridges.

“You think even if you break the bond with Julian, the elders of the Livingston Pack will accept you? And when that happens, who do you think you’ll be?”

The mere thought of Finn protecting Lillian all this time made Eleanor feel sick.

Originally, Finn should have been successfully matched with Hilda by now.

But Lillian had stepped in and ruined everything.

Just remembering it made Eleanor’s chest tighten.

The only reason she hadn’t informed the Livingston elders yet was because she hadn’t been able to reach them. If she had, she would’ve exposed Lillian and Finn long ago.

And being ignored by the Livingston Pack only made her more resentful.
