Chapter 129: New Beginnings and Dangerous Encounters

(Olivia’s POV)

D

The morning sun streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows of Moonstone Legal Partners as I stood in our newly completed reception area. The fresh scent of new furniture and polished wood filled the air, replacing the construction dust that had dominated for weeks.

Everything was finally ready. The ergonomic desks Adrian and I had carefully selected gleamed under the overhead lights. State–of–the–art computers hummed quietly on each workstation. Legal stationery was neatly organized in custom filing systems.

My phone rang, interrupting my satisfied survey of our accomplishments. The caller ID showed a familiar name that made my heart lift with genuine warmth.

“Emma“” I answered immediately, unable to hide my excitement.

“Olivia,” Emma Thompson’s voice carried across the line, tinged with hope and nervous energy. “I hope I’m not calling at a bad time.”

“Not at all. It’s wonderful to hear from you.”

Emma took a deep breath before continuing. “I wanted to ask about your previous offer. You mentioned I

could join you in Harbor City if I ever wanted to work together again.”

My smile widened as I remembered our conversation months ago. “Of course that offer is still valid. More than valid – I’d be thrilled to have you here.”

“Really?” Emma’s voice brightened considerably. “Because I’ve been thinking about it constantly. My current situation isn’t ideal, and the opportunity to work with you again sounds like exactly what I need.”

“Emma, I would love nothing more than to have you as part of Moonstone Legal Partners,” I said warmly.

“When can you start?”

“I can book a flight immediately,” she replied, excitement bubbling through her words. “I could be there by this evening if you need me.

“That’s perfect. I’ll pick you up from the airport myself.”

After we finalized the details and I gave her our new office address, I hung up feeling genuinely happy. Having Emma join our team would bring a sense of familiarity and trust that I’d been missing.

The prospect of working with someone I knew and respected brought me comfort about the future of our legal practice. Emma’s loyalty and dedication had always impressed me during our previous work together. My cousin Alexander had also been instrumental in building our team. Through his extensive coctions in the werewolf legal community, he’d recruited two excellent and well–known lawyers.

That evening, I met them at an upscale restaurant in Harbor City’s business district. Alexander had reserved a private dining room for our introduction dinner.

“Olivia, Alexander stood as I entered the elegantly appointed room. “Td like you to meet your new colleagues.”

He gestured toward a woman with neat short hair wearing a light khaki professional suit. Her posture radlated confidence and competence typical of successful pack–affiliated lawyers

“This is Attorney Aria Chen, my high school classmate from our pack territory, Alexander said with obvious

pride.

I paused slightly, recognizing her reputation in supernatural law circles. “Hello, Attorney Chen, Your work in pack litigation is legendary.”

Aria smiled professionally, extending her hand for a firm handshake. “Hello, Attorney Winters. We’ll be colleagues from now on. I’m looking forward to working together.”

Alexander then turned to the second person at our table. “This is Attorney Mike Wu. I specially recruited him from another firm for you – he’s a major player in supernatural commercial law”

Mike appeared to be about forty years old, well–dressed and wearing glasses. His slightly thin frame gave off an aura of calm intelligence and introversion that suggested deep analytical thinking.

“Hello, Attorney Wu,” I said respectfully. Tve heard excellent things about your work. Please guide me in the

future.”

“Hello, Attorney Winters, Mike replied with a modest smile. “Let’s achieve great things together.”

Besides Alexander, everyone at the dinner table were legal professionals. We had much to discuss about pack law and territorial regulations. The conversation flowed naturally from recent court decisions to changes in supernatural legislation.

Aria shared insights from her recent cases involving inter–pack disputes. Mike discussed the complexities of werewolf business law in human courts. I contributed my experiences with pack member representation.

I found myself thinking about recent events with the new law firm. The successful recruitment dinner, Emma’s imminent arrival, the completed renovations everything was falling into place perfectly.
