Chapter 100: Scandal and Severed Hope

(Olivia Winters‘ POV)

Lily’s words hit me like a silver blade to the chest. I bolted upright in bed, my heart hammering against my

ribs.

“What scandal?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

The phone felt heavy in my trembling hands. My wolf Cora stirred restlessly, sensing the approaching storm.

I immediately opened Howlr on my phone. The top trending topic blazed across my screen: “Rivers Pack Alpha Connor Rivers and Layla Lawrence.”

My breath caught in my throat. I hesitated, Cora recoiling from what we might find.

But I had to know. I clicked on the topic with shaking fingers.

The headlines exploded before my eyes. Scandalous news about Connor Rivers and Layla Lawrence filled the screen. She was a popular actress with ties to the Lawrence Pack.

I reeled from the shock, my vision blurring. “Why would Alpha Connor have a scandal with her?” I wondered, my mind racing frantically.

I had never heard Connor mention knowing Layla Lawrence. Not once in all our conversations.

Lily’s angry voice came through the phone, amplified by pack–line urgency. “I really didn’t expect Alpha Connor

to be this kind of Alpha!”

Her words cut deep. “You said yesterday that you were just having a conflict, and today he’s photographed with a celebrity luna. It’s infuriating! What a scumbag wolf!”

The phrase “same Moonlight Lodge” struck me like a physical blow. I froze to the core, my wolf whimpering in

distress.

My hands shook as I clicked deeper into the trending topic. The screen filled with scandalous headlines and

photos.

There they were – Layla Lawrence and Connor Rivers entering the Moonlight Lodge together. The accompanying text suggested a close relationship and potential marking into a powerful pack.

The photo showed Layla Lawrence looking back at the camera, revealing her beautiful face. The Alpha beside her was unmistakably Connor Rivers, only showing a side profile.

Those ice–blue eyes were unreadable, but I knew them better than my own reflection. The comments praised their compatibility as a power couple.

I felt my body tremble violently. Cora mirrored my distress, howling silently within me.

I hung up on Lily abruptly and called Connor Rivers. The phone rang endlessly, each tone deepening my despair.

After multiple attempts, he finally answered. With a trembling voice, I asked, “The trending topics on Howlr are fake, right? The Alpha in the photo isn’t you, right?”

Chapter 100. Scandal and

My voice cracked. “Con, as long as you say it, I’ll believe you,”

A brief silence followed. Then a woman’s voice came through, smooth and melodic like a siren’s call.

“Who is this? I’m Layla Lawrence. Alpha Rivers is in the shower and can’t answer the phone. Can I take a

message?”

(Connor Rivers‘ POV)

She shook her head disapprovingly. “Seriously, you’re being too hurtful. If I were her, I’d hate you forever.”

Layla Lawrence was indeed a famous actress. But she was also the second young lady of the Lawrence Pack from Silvercrest Territory, a true werewolf socialite.

My maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Lawrence, was born into the Lawrence Pack. Layla’s grandfather and my grandmother Elizabeth were siblings.

This made Layla and me distant relatives, our bloodlines intertwined through generations of pack alliances. I had sought out this distant cousin and asked her to play a role. To make Olivia give up completely, to protect her from Frederick Warner’s relentless pursuit.

“Cousin Con, whatever you invest in must be a blockbuster. Don’t worry, I’m an actress, you’ve come to the right person!”

Her wolf was offended. “Don’t try to buy me with pack funds, I don’t do things that hurt other Lunas!” “Fifty million,” I stated flatly.
