In a room on the second floor of Moonlight Manor, scattered clothes of a man and woman were all over the floor. Torn black silk stockings half–hung on the sofa, creating an indescribably lewd scene.

After a passionate encounter, I leaned against the headboard, smoking a Cuban cigar. A satisfied look filled

my ice–blue eyes as I surveyed the aftermath of our coupling.

Beside me, Sophia Chen’s face was flushed with a seductive look. Her beta wolf purred contentedly from our

encounter, her porcelain skin glistening with perspiration.

“Frederick,” she whispered, her voice still breathless. “That was incredible.”

I took another drag of my cigar, the smoke curling around us. The taste of victory was sweet on my tongue,

though not as sweet as the revenge I was orchestrating.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated on the nightstand. I reached for it, noting Maxwell Cooper’s name on the screen.

“What is it?” I answered curtly.

Maxwell’s respectful voice came through the speaker. “Sir, the Winters family just held a press conference. They’ve announced the termination of the mating arrangement with the Rivers family.”

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Go on.”

“There are also rumors on Howlr that Connor Rivers and popular actress Layla Lawrence entered Moonlight Lodge together. They’re suspected of cheating.”

I laughed dismissively, the sound echoing through the room. Connor was just like his father William – a philanderer who couldn’t stay loyal to one she–wolf.

“Typical Rivers behavior,” I muttered. “What about the Winters family’s situation?”

Maxwell hesitated. “Should we continue monitoring them, sir?”

“Absolutely,” I instructed firmly. “They might be feigning the disengagement to deceive me. I don’t trust their sudden change of heart.”

I emphasized my next words carefully. “Pay special attention to Olivia Winters‘ whereabouts. Report any movements immediately through our secure channels.”

“Understood, sir.”

I ended the call and set the phone aside. Sophia traced patterns on my chest with her finger, her touch light

and teasing.

“Business troubles?” she asked innocently.

“Nothing I can’t handle,” I replied, my mind already calculating the next moves in my elaborate game o.

revenge.

I rested at the Winters Family Estate for two days, trying to adjust my emotional state. Despite my efforts, my wolf Cora continued whimpering from our severed pre–mating bond.

The pain was constant, a dull ache that never quite disappeared. But I forced myself to function, to appear normal despite the turmoil inside.

This morning, I returned to Moonlaw Legal Services to work as usual. In the past two days, everything had

been calm with no accidents.

I thought with a bitter smile that breaking off the mating arrangement might have some benefits. At least Frederick Warner wouldn’t target me and my family through Connor anymore.

As I entered the law firm, colleagues greeted me with respectful nods. They recognized me as one of their most competent lawyers despite the recent scandal.

I responded with a polite smile, my black leather court heels clicking against the marble floor. Dressed in my professional black power suit with my honey–brown hair pinned up, I had concealed the dark circles under my

amber eyes with makeup.

My vintage crimson lipstick completed the look. No one could tell I had just gone through a broken mating

arrangement.

The new litigation head, Caroline Lewis, assigned me three new cases involving dissolution of mating bond petitions. I quickly immersed myself in work, analyzing the details of each supernatural law case.

The familiar routine of legal work provided some solace for my anguished wolf. At least here, I could focus on something other than my broken heart.

After work, I stayed late to finish my tasks. The office grew quiet as other lawyers departed for the evening. As I turned off the lights and prepared to leave, I heard faint crying from the Moonlaw Legal Services Assistant Wing. I frowned slightly and went to investigate, my enhanced werewolf hearing picking up the
