Chapter 245: The Alpha’s Burden

(Third person’s POV)

“So sleepy,” Olivia murmured softly through the phone, her voice thick with drowsiness.

Connor’s expression immediately softened, his ice–blue eyes warming with tender affection. The powerful Alpha who commanded respect from every werewolf in the Northern Territory melted at the sound of his mate’s sleepy voice.

“Take your time waking up, Luna,” he said gently, completely oblivious to the dozen

executives seated around the conference table.

Daniel Richardson’s amused chuckle came through the video screen. “Connor, your mate sounds adorable when she’s sleepy.”

“She is,” Connor replied without hesitation, his voice carrying unmistakable pride and

devotion.

Victoria Hartwell sat at the far end of the conference table, her perfectly manicured fingers

gripping her pen with barely controlled tension. As Strategic Planning Director, she had

observed Connor Rivers for over a month now.

She had never seen the formidable Alpha display such vulnerability. His usual commanding presence completely dissolved when speaking to this mysterious she–wolf.

Victoria’s wolf snarled with jealousy beneath her professional facade. Who was this female

who could reduce the most powerful Alpha in Harbor City to such tenderness?

“Livvy, are you getting up now?” Connor asked, his voice impossibly gentle.

“Mmm, five more minutes,” Olivia mumbled through the phone.

Connor actually chuckled, the sound rich and warm. “Alright, five more minutes. But then you need to get ready for your tribunal hearing.”

Victoria’s amber eyes flashed with resentment. She had worked tirelessly to earn Connor’s attention, maintaining strict professionalism while hoping he might notice her dedication.

But this unknown she–wolf commanded his complete devotion without even being present.

After Connor ended the call, the pack alliance meeting resumed with Daniel Richardson. They

discussed territorial boundaries and trade agreements between their respective packs.

Victoria took meticulous notes, her mind racing with questions about Connor’s mate. The way he spoke to her suggested an intimate bond that went beyond casual dating.

When the meeting concluded an hour later, the executives filed out of the conference room. Victoria lingered, pretending to organize her documents while watching Connor.

He immediately pulled out his phone again, his fingers moving swiftly across the screen.

Probably texting his precious mate, Victoria thought bitterly.

“Alpha Connor,” she said, her voice carefully professional. “The quarterly reports are ready for

your review.”

Connor glanced up briefly. “Leave them on my desk, Victoria. I’ll review them this afternoon.”

His dismissive tone stung more than Victoria cared to admit. She had hoped for even a

moment of personal conversation.

“Of course, Alpha,” she replied, her smile tight and forced.

As Connor left the conference room, Victoria remained seated. Her wolf paced restlessly,

consumed with curiosity and growing resentment toward the she–wolf who had captured the

Alpha’s heart.

Meanwhile, across the city at an upscale restaurant, Richard Winters sat with his corporate

partners discussing recent pack politics. The conversation naturally turned to his daughter’s

romantic life.

“Richard, congratulations on your daughter’s renewed relationship with Alpha Connor Rivers,”

said Marcus Thompson, a prominent beta businessman.

Richard’s fork paused halfway to his mouth. His amber eyes sharpened with surprise and

displeasure.

“What relationship?” he asked carefully, his Alpha instincts immediately alert.

“The whole supernatural community is talking about it,” Marcus continued enthusiastically.

“They were seen together at Miranda Blackwood’s birthday celebration. Very romantic, from

what I heard.”
