Chapter 148: Crisis

(Olivia’s POV)

I frowned at the text message glowing on my phone screen, my amber eyes scanning the threatening words again and again. The anonymous message about Grace created a terrible dilemma for me.

“If you want your sister to live, then obediently do as I say.”

My wolf bristled with protective fury, but my rational mind forced me to think carefully. This message could be from Frederick Warner’s operatives still lurking in Harbor City. Or it could be someone else entirely, pretending to be them to manipulate me.

I couldn’t act rashly. I needed to trace the message’s origin before making any moves. Walking into a trap set by my enemies would help no one, especially not Grace.

My hands trembled slightly as I set the phone aside. The uncertainty was eating me alive from the inside. Sleep became impossible after receiving that message. I was haunted by concerns for my missing half–sister and the growing threat posed by Cassandra Evans‘ fanatical followers.

The chilling image of Gerald Hayes flashed through my mind. That man who had attempted to throw acid on me at Moonstone Legal Partners. His twisted face and hateful words were a constant reminder of my vulnerability.

I was a prominent werewolf without pack protection in Harbor City. That made me a target for rogue wolves

I realized I needed to take additional measures to protect myself from future attacks. The next assault might be far worse than ice water or acid.

I tossed and turned in my bed at Moonlight Haven, my wolf remaining restless and alert throughout the night. Every small sound made me tense, expecting another threat to materialize from the darkness.

Finally, at 8 a.m., I decided to take action. I couldn’t wait any longer for answers.

I called Marcus Thompson, my friend who was a technical expert in werewolf communication systems. His knowledge of supernatural networks made him invaluable for situations like this.

“Marcus, I need your help,” I said when he answered. “I received a suspicious text message that I need traced.

“What kind of message?” Marcus asked, his voice immediately becoming professional.

“A threat about my sister. But the sender used a string of numbers instead of a typical phone number.”

Marcus was quiet for a moment, processing the information. “Send me the exact message and the number sequence. I’ll use my specialized/equipment to trace its origin.”

“How long will it take?” I asked urgently.

“Give me a few hours. I’ll have an answer for you later today.”

I sent him the message details and waited anxiously for his response. Every minute felt like an eternity when

Grace’s safety hung in the balance.

Marcus called back sooner than expected, his voice carrying important news.

“Olivia, I’ve traced the message origin. It came from within the Northern Territory, specifically from Harbor City.”

My blood ran cold. Frederick Warner still had operatives within the city despite his exile to America. The

threat was closer than I had feared.

“Can you give me the specific address?” I asked.

“Sending it to you now,” Marcus replied. “Be careful, Olivia. Whoever sent this knows exactly where you are.”

I received the address and immediately forwarded it to another contact within Connor’s security network. Despite our personal issues, his people were still the most reliable for investigations like this.

The response came back quickly, and the information shocked me to my core.

The address belonged to an apartment owned by Cassandra Evans.

I stared at the confirmation message, my wolf snarling with rage. Cassandra was involved in the harassment campaign against me yet again.

Of course she knew about Grace’s k********g. She had been present when I talked with Ethan Grey about my

6 family situation. It wasn’t strange for her to have that information.

But using my sister’s disappearance to terrorize me? That crossed every line imaginable.

I was infuriated by Cassandra’s relentless harassment. The online attacks, the orchestrated harassment by her obsessive fans, and now this attempt to deceive me with false information about Grace’s k********g. Enough was enough. I needed to teach Cassandra a lesson about the consequences of targeting a Winters pack member.

I investigated Cassandra’s background more thoroughly, digging into her family’s financial situation. What I discovered was pathetic.

I visited Natalie Winters at Harbor City Memorial Hospital, finding my stepmother in the waiting area. She looked completely distraught, consumed by worry for Grace.

Richard Winters was at the company handling urgent pack business, so I tried to console Natalle, But my words offered little comfort to the grieving Luna who blamed herself for not protecting her daughter better.

“I should have been more careful,” Natalie whispered. “I should have seen the signs that someone was targeting our family.”

“Miss Winters, I wish I had better news for you,” he said. “The investigation into Grace’s k********g is ongoing, but progress is slow.”

The same disappointing update I had received before. Bureaucracy and jurisdictional issues were keeping my

I left the police station feeling despondent. The official channels were moving too slowly while Grace remained in Frederick’s hands.
