Chapter 239: The Alpha’s Justice
(Connor’s POV)
Someone from the crowd quickly explained the situation to Miranda Blackwood. Her face went pale as she absorbed the details of Brandon’s assault on Olivia and his threats.
Miranda rushed to Olivia’s side, her hands fluttering over her friend with maternal concern. “Olivia, Olivia, are you okay?”
She checked Olivia for any signs of injury, her eyes wide with worry and guilt.
My ice–blue gaze fixed on Miranda with cold scrutiny. The Alpha authority in my voice made lesser wolves step back instinctively.
“Did you invite them?”
Miranda’s eyes widened in shock. “No! I mean, I invited friends from Shadowmere Territory, but I didn’t specifically invite Brandon or Victoria.”
My expression remained skeptical. The Alpha in me demanded answers, not excuses.
“How could they board this yacht without your invitation?”

Miranda’s voice trembled as she tried to explain. “I gave my Shadowmere friends permission to bring guests. i didn’t expect Brandon to be among them.”
Her hands wrung together nervously. “I had no idea there was any animosity between Brandon and Olivia. If I had known, I would have prevented his boarding immediately.”
My doubt was evident in my cold stare. “Did you review the list of people boarding the yacht?”
Miranda nodded quickly. “Yes, I saw the guest list.”
“And you saw Brandon’s name on it?”
Her face flushed with embarrassment. “I did see Brandon’s name, but I didn’t think much of it. I didn’t know he
! had a grudge against Olivia.”
She looked at me pleadingly. “If I knew, I definitely wouldn’t have let him on the yacht. I would never hurt Olivia.”
My expression remained unmoved by her protests. The Alpha in me sensed deception, even if unintentional.
Miranda’s voice cracked with desperation. “Connor, don’t you believe me?”
I met her gaze with arctic coldness/“No.”
The single word hit Miranda like a physical blow. Her face crumpled with hurt and disbelief.
She turned to Olivia, seeking support from her friend. “Olivia, don’t you believe me either?”
Olivia remained silent, lost in thought. Her amber eyes were distant as she processed the evening’s events. Miranda’s expression conveyed deep sadness, loss, and grievance. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

At that moment, Rebecca Frost, Lily, Ethan Quinn, Gabriel Andrews, and Sophie Shaw approached our group. They had heard the commotion and came to investigate.
Lily looked around at the tense atmosphere. “What happened here?”
Olivia briefly explained the confrontation with Brandon and Victoria. Her voice remained calm despite the trauma she had endured.
Lily’s face flushed with anger. “That bastard deserved what he got! How dare he threaten you!”
Rebecca’s sharp gaze fixed on Miranda. “I’m wondering if this was deliberate.”
Her tone carried suspicion and protective fury for her friend.
Meanwhile, in the dark waters below, Brandon Cole struggled desperately. His voice carried across the waves as he called for help.
“Help me! Please, someone help me!”
But no one dared to rescue him without my permission. The pack hierarchy was absolute in situations like this.
Suddenly, someone on the deck pointed toward the water. “Look! Sharks!”
Panic rippled through the crowd as dark fins appeared near the yacht. The predators had been drawn by the commotion and scent.
“Oh my God, there are sharks approaching!”
“Brandon’s in the water with sharks!”
The pack members cried out warnings, their voices filled with terror and excitement.
Brandon heard the warnings through his enhanced werewolf senses. His struggles became frantic as paralizing terror consumed him.
I nodded in agreement, respecting ny mate’s judgment. Her mercy balanced my justice perfectly. “Commander Steel,” I called to my security chief. “Throw down a life raft and jacket. Lower a rope and have
The freezing water and terror of circling sharks had broken him both physically and mentally. Even after being hauled onto the yacht deck, he remained paralyzed with fear.
