INICIAR SESIÓNVivienne Wainwright POV
"Why are you so aggressively invested in my life, Cressida?" Vivienne asks smoothly into her mobile broadcast lens, her dark eyes flashing with sharp, unyielding defiance. "I have been exiled from the Wainwright estate for ages, yet not a single member of our bloodline bothered to check if I was starving in the rural wilderness. You had zero idea I was operating here in the Willowbrook District, yet you miraculously swooped in the moment our agricultural project gVivienne Wainwright POVVivienne did not hesitate for a second, stepping straight through the iron gates toward her cottage.Carmen scoffed loudly behind her, fully convinced it was only a matter of time before Vivienne crawled back to the Wainwright estate to beg for forgiveness. She was eager to see how long her disowned daughter could maintain this pathetic charade.The next morning, Vivienne arrived at Blackwell Tower. She had been away on the regional delegation for over a week and had noticeably lost weight, her waist looking even slimmer inside her work clothes. The moment she stepped out of the executive elevator onto the Alpha's Office Floor, she ran straight into Merriweather.Merriweather’s golden eyes flickered with open disdain. He lifted his chin arrogantly, striding past her as if her presence was completely beneath him—acting as though his cold indifference would break her heart.Vivienne, however, offered zero reaction. She didn't spare him a glance, walking straight
Cressida Wainwright POVCressida was so consumed by rage that her chest heaved with every jagged breath. She shot a murderous, bloodthirsty glare at Vivienne, who stood radiating raw power in the center of the cheering crowd.Alpha Roderick Blackwell stood directly beside Vivienne, his imposing, terrifying Alpha presence casting a shadow across the stone courtyard. Not a single pack member dared to step into his line of sight, lingering respectfully behind his wheelchair. With Vivienne standing at his shoulder, they projected an aura of absolute dominance—a perfect pairing.Cressida’s manicured claws dug so deeply into her palms that she nearly drew blood, a bitter copper taste filling her mouth as she bit her tongue.She had once sworn to strip away every single drop of status, honor, and joy belonging to Vivienne. Yet today, every pack official sang Vivienne's praises, while Cressida was reduced to a pathetic, humiliated fool watching from the sidelines.Humphrey Wainwright stood be
Vivienne Wainwright POVVivienne had barely opened her eyes when a loud, chaotic commotion erupted outside her private suite. Her body still burned with a stubborn, lingering fever, and the grueling labor of the past week had stripped away over five pounds from her frame.Before she could adjust her clothing, Mandy burst through the wooden doors, her face flushed with excitement. She grabbed Vivienne’s hand, pulling her down the stone hallway at a frantic pace."Hurry, Vivienne! Move your legs! A massive crowd of Northbrook farmers has gathered in the main courtyard! They are demanding to present you with a formal honor plaque!" Mandy babbled.Vivienne blinked, her mind slow from the fever. "A plaque?"Mandy dragged her out onto the grand stone steps of the Northbrook lodge, where hundreds of local pack members had assembled. At the absolute front stood the young village leaders Vivienne had labored alongside in the packing sheds.The at
Cressida Wainwright POV "Naturally, my daughter is exceptionally gifted," Humphrey Wainwright boasts over the comms line. "She was already turning heads during her early management placements in the corporation. I initially feared she had stumbled in Willowbrook, but it appears to be a monumental triumph.""Indeed, Humphrey, I am simply alerting you in confidence," the senior pack official murmurs. "The territorial council is thoroughly impressed with her administration. She has effectively placed our regional agriculture on the map. You should contact her and offer your praise.""Without a doubt, councilman."Humphrey’s face radiates immense satisfaction. Disconnecting the call, he turns to Tobiah. "Tobiah, you would do well to emulate Cressida. She has barely spent a week in Willowbrook, and already the pack council is singing her praises."Tobiah pouts, flicking his gaming console. "That comes as zero surprise. I always knew Cressida would excel at whatever she touches."Humphrey
Vivienne Wainwright POVRoderick closed his eyes, his dark lashes casting long shadows across his sculpted cheekbones as he disciplined the sudden, dangerous surge of restlessness in his blood.Vivienne stayed completely frozen beneath him, her breath hitching in her throat as her dark eyes traced the sharp, flawless line of his jaw resting so closely against her collar. His features were impeccably carved—a ruthless, striking perfection that seemed almost unreal under the shifting thermal mist.A few heavy seconds passed before Roderick’s grip around her waist slowly loosened, his arm withdrawing as he stepped back into the clear water.Vivienne exhaled a shaky breath, her face burning. "Alpha Roderick... I will not overthink what just occurred. Given the closed space and the thermal heat, anyone in your position would react naturally to such proximity."The moment the words left her mouth, a suffocating, icy pressure descended upon the grotto.Roderick’s dark eyes snapped open, lock
Vivienne Wainwright POVVivienne’s body felt like lead, every joint screaming in protest as she fought against the relentless grip of her lingering fever.She had barely slept, her limbs heavy and battered from the violent blow she had absorbed in the Northbrook orchard days prior.Faintness blurred her vision as she stumbled out of her sleeping quarters into the hallway, desperate for sustenance after surviving entirely on sheer willpower.When she pushed open the doors to the lodge dining pavilion, her dark eyes immediately landed on Alpha Roderick Blackwell seated at a corner table laden with an extravagant spread of roasted game and fresh mountain provisions.A member of the lodge staff approached, whispering that she had slept straight through both morning and midday meals, leaving her completely starved."Alpha Roderick," Vivienne murmured, her voice cracking slightly from dehydration.Roderick lifted his gaze from his ledger, his dark eyes instantly recognizing her hollow cheek
