I did not know if it was a lingering effect from the silver–like pain in her bloodline during the full moon nights, but Maris, a beta, had actually developed a fever. A minor illness that usually only low–ranking omegas got.
It was unbelievable.
“The servants said you went out the day before yesterday. Where did you go? How did up getting yourself sick?”
I asked Maris, trying to keep my tone gentle. After all, she was ill.
If she had not been sick, I honestly might not have even wanted to come see her.

However, Maris’s attitude was terrible. She rolled her eyes at me and did not say a word.
I did not feel like asking any further.
During the silence, the beta steward walked in.
“Alpha, the steward from Silvermoon Pack, Mr. White, has arrived. He says he needs to speak with you.”
Looking for me? Had Laila sent him?
For some reason, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Laila had heard about my plan to form a mate bond with Victoria and wanted to stop me?
No, impossible. She had said herself that she no longer loved me.
But even though I knew it was impossible, a small part of me still held onto hope.
I stood up immediately. But Maris suddenly rolled over and grabbed my wrist. “You’re not allowed to see him!”
“Stop making trouble, Maris. He probably has something important to discuss with me.”

Without hesitation, I pulled my hand away and walked out.

When I reached the reception hall, I saw that only Faulkner was there. I felt a bit disappointed. Even Pearl had not come, so it probably was not a personal matter.
I sighed quietly and forced myself to focus on the conversation. To my surprise, Faulkner handed me an IOU. On it was written, “I, Maris, Second Luna of Ironclaw Pack, broke a vase at Silvermoon Pack. As I did not have money with me to compensate immediately, I wrote this IOU and will repay the amount tomorrow.”
The IOU was signed.
I recognized the handwriting. It was definitely Maris’s.
But when had this happened?
“What does this mean? When did Maris go to Silvermoon Pack? And what do you mean she broke a vase?”
Faulkner’s expression remained cold. “Ms. Duffy went to Silvermoon Pack the day before yesterday to see Ms. Conlay. The moment she arrived, she started smashing things after a disagreement. Speaking rudely would have been one thing, but broken property must be compensated according to its value. That vase cost 50,000 dollars. When she signed the IOU, she said she would repay it the next day. But she never came. So I had to come to collect the debt.”
“She went to Silvermoon Pack to see Laila and smashed things?”
After hearing that, my face turned dark with anger. I could hardly believe she had gone this crazy. Was she not afraid that Laila might tear her apart with one swipe?
“That’s correct. Ms. Conlay originally did not want to see her. But she was shouting outside the wolf den, so Ms. Conlay finally opened the door and let her in.”
Faulkner waved his hand lightly. “But those details are not important. What matters is that Ms. Conlay does not want any unsettled accounts between herself and Ironclaw Pack. Alpha Holt, will you be paying this 50,000, or will Ms. Duffy pay it herself?”
“I’ll pay it…”
I took a deep breath and was about to call someone to bring over a check for 50,000. But Faulkner continued speaking. “Alpha Holt, there is one more matter. When Ms. Conlay managed Ironclaw Pack in the past, she spent 500,000 of her own money. That amount has never been repaid. Since we are settling accounts today, we might as well collect that as well.”
