Chapter 123: Professional Vengeance

(Olivia’s POV)

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, I returned to Moonlaw Legal Services to resume work after the holiday break. My amber eyes held a new determination as I settled back into my routine.

The events of recent weeks had strengthened my resolve to build my own future in the legal profession. Connor’s words in the garden still echoed in my mind, but I refused to let them define me.

I was reviewing case files when my office door opened without warning. The farmiliar scent of expensive perfume and barely contained hostility filled the air.

Vanessa Reed stood in my doorway, adorned in luxury branded attire and carrying a limited edition Hermès Luna Collection handbag. Her violet eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction.

“Excuse me,” I said sharply, holding up my hand as I continued my phone call with a client. “I’m in the middle of an important conversation.”

Vanessa ignored my protest and walked into my office uninvited. She settled into the chair across from my desk with the confidence of someone who owned the place.

My wolf bristled at her audacity. The disrespect was intentional and calculated.

I finished my call quickly, my amber eyes never leaving Vanessa’s smug face. “What do you want?”

“Surprise!” Vanessa’s voice dripped with false sweetness. “I have wonderful news to share with you, Olivia.”

Her silver–gray wolf practically purred with vindictive pleasure beneath her human facade. “I’ve invested in this firm. I’m now one of the behind–the–scenes bosses.”

My blood ran cold as the implications hit me. “What are you talking about?”

“That makes me your superior,” Vanessa continued, her violet eyes sparkling with cruel delight. “Isn’t that delicious? The power dynamic has completely reversed.”

I gripped my pen so tightly it nearly snapped. “You can’t be serious.”

“Oh, but I am.” Vanessa leaned back in her chair, savoring every moment of my shock. “I’ve always wanted to be in a position to make your life miserable.”

My wolf snarled beneath the surface, barely contained by my human form. The tension between us was

palpable.

“I’ve always despised you, Olivia Winters,” Vanessa said with a cold smile. “Now I finally have the power to do something about it.”

“The feeling is entirely mutual, Vanessa,” I retorted, my own wolf bristling at the challenge. “Your hatred doesn’t surprise me in the least.”

Vanessa’s expression shifted to one of mock sympathy. “Forgot to tell you something else. Grandmother Eleanor is introducing Connor to potential mates.”

Her voice carried false concern that made my stomach turn. “You and my foster brother are impossible now.

The matchmaking has already begun.

I felt a sharp pang in my chest, but I refused to let her see my pain. Instead, I turned the tables with

calculated precision.

“That’s wonderful news,” I said, my amber eyes flashing with sharp Intelligence. “It shows that without me you still can’t become Connor’s mate.”

Vanessa’s confident expression faltered slightly. “What do you mean?”

“Your grandmother is even arranging blind dates for him,” I continued mercilessly “How can you still smile? If I were you, I would hide in my den and howl all day.”

The words hit their mark perfectly. Vanessa’s face contorted with rage as I struck at her deepest insecurity.

“I will never mate with anyone but Connor!” she declared, her voice shaking with venom. “And you will never

be with him either!”

Her wolf snarled beneath the surface, barely contained by her human form. The threat hung in the air

His face went pale behind his glasses. “What’s wrong? Why are you resigning on the first day back from the holiday?”

I shook my head firmly. “I intend to start my own law firm. I’ll be utilizing my resources and connections to build something better.”
