Chapter 89: Pack Justice and Shattered Bonds
(Cassandra’s POV)
Sophie Parker swirled her Moonlight Wine in her glass, the liquid catching the flickering lights as she fixed
me with a smirk.
“Cassandra,” she drawled, leaning forward conspiratorially. “I heard Olivia Winters has a new Alpha now. So, aren’t you and Alpha Ethan getting closer?”
I sat motionless, my face partially hidden in the shadows. The corner of my mouth twitched involuntarily as i felt a cold sensation spread through my chest. My green–gold eyes flashed with something dangerous in the
darkness.
Sophie was deliberately provoking me, and we both knew it. Ever since Ethan’s suicide attempt for Olivia Winters, I’d become the subject of whispered conversations throughout the Grey pack territory.
I forced a smile, gripping my wine glass tighter. “Ethan has been too busy with Grey pack affairs lately. He hasn’t had time to consider mating.”
“Oh?” Sophie’s eyebrows shot up in feigned surprise. “But I heard he’s been in Harbor City Memorial Hospital They say he’s so weak he can barely stand without assistance.”
Her words were deliberately exaggerated, each one designed to twist the knife deeper. My expression darkened as I fought to maintain my composure.
“It’s just a cold from overwork,” I dismissed with a wave of my hand. “His wolf is a bit weakened after the…. incident. Nothing serious.”
“Of course, of course,” Sophie nodded with exaggerated concern. “But you know how these things can be. A compromised immunity in werewolves can lead to all sorts of complications.”
Each word was like a silver barb, designed to penetrate and poison. I knew what she was doing – everyone in our social circle did. Sophie Parker had never truly been my friend.
“Speaking of relationships,” I said, desperate to shift the focus, “how are things with you? Still with that omega boyfriend of yours?”
Sophie’s smile faltered slightly. “Brandon and I broke up.”
I seized the opportunity, my lips curling into a vindictive smile. “Brandon Hayes? That parasitic omega? I heard he was cheating on you with at least three other she–wolves from his social media.”
I raised my glass to her, a cold glint in my eyes. “Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say,”
Sophie’s face tightened, but she clinked her glass against mine nonetheless. As I sipped my wine, I made a silent vow to myself. I would win Ethan back. I would make those who doubted me pay. And I would solidify my position as Luna of the Grey pack, no matter what it took
(Connor’s POV)
The next day. I drove Olivia back to the Rivers Pack Mansion. The familiar scent of home gr “us as we stepped through the grand entrance, my wolf immediately settling into the comfort of our territory.
Chapter 89 Pack Justice
My mother, Katherine Rivers, was waiting for us in the main hall. Her face lit up when she saw Olivia, and she immediately came forward to greet her.
“Livvy, you’re here!” Mother exclaimed, taking Olivia’s hands in hers. “Come, sit down. Luna Katherine hasn’t seen you for many days. How have you been lately?”
Olivia followed my mother to the plush sofa in the grand hall. I watched as she settled in, noting how her posture relaxed slightly. Her wolf seemed to sense the welcoming energy of the Rivers pack.
“I’ve been doing well recently, Luna Katherine,” Olivia replied with a gentle smile
Mother took Olivia’s hand in a gesture of genuine affection. “I’m glad to hear that. And please, just call me Katherine when we’re alone.”
I sat down next to Olivia, casually crossing my long legs. I rested my hand on the back of the sofa behind her, my ice–blue eyes scanning the room as I asked, “Has Father returned yet?”
Mother looked up at me. “Do you need William for something important, Con?”
Mother’s eyes widened in surprise. “Vanessa has been captured? When?”
