After the Seven-Year Contract Ended Chapter 8
The first project under my new company crushed expectations.The celebration banquet was held in the most elite hotel in the city—gold light, crystal chandeliers, champagne weaving through the air. The entire hall soaked in the warm afterglow of victory.Halfway through the social rounds, fatigue started to creep in, so I stepped out onto the terrace alone to breathe.The night wind was cool, carrying that metallic tang cities always have. It sobered me up a little.My phone buzzed.Harvey.“Nora,” he said, his voice lower than usual, “there’s something I think you should know.”“Say it.” I leaned on the railing, tone steady.“Ethan turned in your father. And Ann.”My hand paused on the wineglass, just slightly.“He filed a report to the Enforcement Council,” Harvey said. “Submitted a complete chain of evidence for business fraud and embezzlement of Pack funds.”“Including—” He paused. “—records of his private deals with your father. He handed those over too.”I stayed silent, staring

(Nora’s POV)I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of my new apartment.Outside was the brightest, busiest nightscape in the city—skyscrapers stacked like blades, lights pouring down like a spilled galaxy. The heartbeat of another Pack’s territory.I swirled the red wine in my glass. The dark liquid slid slowly down the bowl, drawing a clean, controlled curve.Behind me, Beta David reported in a low voice.“Nora, the stock prices of Smith Pack and Brown Pack’s companies have hit limit-down several days in a row.”“All assets are in liquidation. We estimate full transfer and settlement can be completed within three days.”“Mm.”I took a sip.It was good.The vintage I liked.“Also,” David continued, “Ethan’s personal accounts have been fully frozen.”“The Smith family… should be completely in chaos by now.”I didn’t respond.I just watched the video on my phone—The tallest building in the city center.Black Moon Pack’s headquarters.Once, it was territory I carved out for hi

I froze.“…What do you mean?”Harvey’s voice didn’t shift by even half a degree—steady, emotionless, like he was reading out a verdict he’d written long ago.“Seven years ago, my client, Ms. Emma Miller—Nora Miller’s mother—left a will.”“She placed all her assets into a trust, naming her bloodline as the sole beneficiary, with conditional clauses attached—”My heart sank, heavy and fast.“For the duration of seven years, the trust would continue providing financial support to the Smith and Brown Packs.”“On the condition that you fulfilled your obligation, caring for her daughter properly.”Harvey’s words pushed into my chest like a dull blade, inch by inch.“Yesterday was the final day of the seven-year term.”“The agreement expired. All funds have been fully withdrawn.”“And whether it’s companies under Smith or under Brown—”“From the start, they were all shells built on Emma’s money.”“Now that the money has been pulled, there’s naturally nothing left.”My mind went blank with a s

(Ethan’s POV)My expression darkened, the anger in my chest swelling until it almost broke the cage of my ribs.What the hell was Nora doing now?Wasn’t she the one who always bragged about how she kept the Pack’s businesses and the company books airtight—no mistakes, no leaks, nothing out of place?And the second something happened, she just… drops everything and walks?I called her.All I got back was a cold, robotic message—The phone is powered off.“That crazy woman.”I slammed the call down, fury spilling over the edge.“What kind of tantrum is she throwing this time?”I whipped around on my assistant. “Find her. Now. I want to know exactly where she is—immediately!”Ann caught my sleeve, her voice soft enough to crumble.“Ethan, don’t blame Nora…”“She probably just… couldn’t think straight for a moment. Once she cools off, she’ll come back.”I let out a humorless laugh.“She’s reckless.”“She really thinks she can do whatever she wants?”“Does she still want to keep that Luna s

I stayed in the hospital for a few days.Ethan didn’t contact me once.No texts. No calls. Not even a token “Are you okay?”The only one who called was the finance director.His voice trembled with panic, careful in a way that didn’t sound like someone who’d worked under me for years.“Luna… no, Nora.”“Alpha… his spending in the overseas resort territory has already passed ten million.”I leaned back against the hospital bed and stared at the heavy gray sky outside the window.“Let them.”The finance director clearly panicked harder. “B-but Nora, if this keeps going, the Pack’s public account will completely run dry!”“The South District joint project is about to settle the first payment.”“If this money gets used, we’ll breach contract immediately and trigger the penalty clauses!”My voice stayed calm. “Do Alpha and the elder know?”There was a pause before he answered quietly. “They said… it’s fine.”“They said as long as you’re here, you’ll fix it.”I let out a soft laugh.“Then br

That night, a twisting pain deep in my abdomen ripped me out of a nightmare.It wasn’t ordinary pain.It felt like something was being torn open, little by little, inside my wolf soul.Cold sweat soaked through my pajamas in minutes. Curled on the bed, even breathing came in broken pieces.I reached for the bedside drawer, trying to find the potion that eased wolf-soul backfire, only to touch emptiness.Then I remembered—the villa’s emergency meds had been cleared out long ago.Because Ann “couldn’t stand the smell of medicine.”She said it made her wolf soul restless.The whole estate was terrifyingly quiet.They were probably all in Ann’s room.Hovering around the ‘fragile pregnant cripple’ the entire Pack coddled, murmuring reassurance, staying up all night.I gritted my teeth and forced myself upright, bracing on the bedframe.No one was coming.I had to go to the hospital myself.The hospital lobby at dawn was lit in a harsh, chalk-white glare.In the ER, the Pack doctor flipped
