“Tessa Duvall,” Kade said calmly. “She’s Zane’s niece.”

Realization flashed across Olivia’s face. “Oh,” Her smile remained flawless. “I’ve heard Mer Zane Dual rester you res nice to meet you. I’m Olivia Vance”
Tessa smiled sweetly. Yet the sarcasm in her voice was impossible to miss. “I think you’ve got the wrong pero tee
talk about me.”
Olivia froze for a second. Then she glanced toward Kade, hoping he’d rescue her from the awkward moment
Unfortunately, Kade seemed completely absorbed in studying the champagne in his hand. As if he hadn’t heard a single word
Olivia could only force an awkward smile before quickly regaining her composure.
She turned back toward Kade. “Kade.” Her voice softened. “As representatives of our families, shouldn’t we share a dance”
A trace of coldness entered Kade’s eyes. “Sorry, Ms. Vance.” His fone remained polite. “I don’t know how to dance
Olivia’s smile instantly froze. Embarrassment flashed across her face, along with frustration
Meanwhile, Tessa burst out laughing. She almost couldn’t hold it in.
Me seriously just told Olivia he can’t dance. That’s such a terrible excuse

Inside, she was practically cheering. Outside, she maintained a perfectly innocent expression
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She turned around and looked at Derrick “Derrick “Asly smile appeared Haven I you diety? wanted to dance with Ms Vance? Well, she’s free right now Why don’t you ask her?”
Derrick blinked Before he could react, Tessa shoved him forward

“Watching them leave, Tessa looked incredibly pleased with herself. Then she turned toward Kade. “Mr. Howell.” Her expression became serious. “You can’t just dance with random wornen. If Nira finds out, she’ll be upset.”
Kade froze slightly. His gaze darkened. “Would she?” The words escaped in a low murmur.
“So what?” Tessa hadn’t heard him. She’d been too busy watching Olivia and Derrick on the dance floor.
Kade lowered his eyes. “It’s nothing.” Then he looked back at her. “I remember your Advanced Werewolf Combat Assessment is coming up soon.” His tone returned to normal. “So why do you still have time to attend banquets?”
Tessa wrinkled her nose, then proudly puffed out her chest. “I’m here to protect you for Nira.” She pointed dramatically around t ballroom. “Who knows how many man–eating demons are hiding here?”
Then she made an exaggerated monster–eating gesture, looking playful, mischievous, and completely ridiculous.
Yet hearing Nira’s name again made Kade’s grip tighten around his glass. The wine inside rippled slightly. Without another word. he turned and walked away. He found a quiet corner and sat there alone, lost in thought.
Most people know better than to bring up Nira around me. Tessa is one of the few who still does.
Even this morning, Grandma brings it up again. Soon, I’ll take the throne. And apparently, every Alpha King needs a Luna
After Nira disappears, I throw myself into work. It’s the only thing that keeps me moving. One year turns into the next before even realize it. The Pack Alliance thrives under my leadership. The Howell family’s influence keeps growing. Every challenge that comes m way gets dealt with. Eventually, even the Elders get behind my succession. If everything stays on track, my coronation isn’t far off
Unless Damian decides to be a pain in my ass again. The bastard has been competing with me over Nira for years. And if anyone can turn a smooth path into a complete mess, it’s him.
When the dance ended, Olivia and Derrick left the floor together/But Kade was already gone.
Her face darkened. Frustration filled her eyes. “Kade, I refuse to believe your heart can’t be won.” A determined smile slowly appeared. “The position of your future Luna, I’m taking it. No matter what.”
The banquet finally came to an end. Kade only appeared briefly on stage to deliver a few closing remarks,
Throughout the entire event, Tessa had practically guarded him like a bodyguard. Unfortunately, near the end of the banquet, someone came looking for her. Since Kade was already speaking on stage, she left with them for a moment.
The instant Tessa disappeared, Olivia smiled.
Finally, she’s out of the way.
She pressed her lips together. Determination burned in her eyes.
I’m not leaving without what came for
Outside the hotel, the night breeze carried a faint chill. Traffic flowed endlessly beneath the neon lights. The city glittered with life.
An assistant supported the slightly tipsy Olivia as they exited the building. Her cheeks were flushed, and she swayed slightly with every step. Yet her eyes remained clear.
“Ma’am, be careful.” The assistant sounded worried.
