Chapter 61

Estelle's POVI chuckled inwardly. So did my wolf.It all happened so smoothly—so smoothly it almost felt staged.And sure enough, the next second, Melody circled around Cassius and dropped to her knees in front of me with a thud. The sound was sharp, almost jarring.The air thickened instantly. The crowd surged closer, watching, prying, buzzing with excitement. That was the pack's instinct—drawn to spectacle, unable to look away."Melody!" Cassius growled.I lifted a hand. "Let her speak."My voice was soft, but steady."Miss Miller…" she began, sobbing. "Don't blame him… it was all my own delusion…"She kept her head lowered as she cried through her words. "I'll leave him… I won't cling to him anymore…"Then she looked up at me, eyes flooded with tears. "Please… don't leave him."I looked at her without saying anything.Deep in my mind, my wolf slowly bared its teeth. She's playing a game. Who taug

Chapter 62

Estelle's POVI was sitting in the car, half-asleep. That earlier fiasco had drained almost all my energy. The lingering weakness from the broken bond still washed over me in slow, relentless waves.My wolf had curled up into a tight ball and drifted off.Amelia was still watching.Ten minutes later, her expression gradually shifted into something close to horror. "…No way. If we keep following them, I'm going to start wondering if someone's trying to kill us."She swallowed hard. "Although—then again, I doubt a hitman would drive a Bentley, right?"I was too drowsy to respond and said nothing.The next second, she shook me awake in a panic. "Estelle! Wake up!"I blinked open my eyes. "Are we there?"No sooner had I spoken than I noticed a familiar car in the rearview mirror.I froze. Huh? Weren't they supposed to be ahead of us?Amelia went pale. "Should we turn around?!"I stared at it

Chapter 63

Estelle's POV"I was dead serious, like I was giving a conference presentation.""He needs a secretary, and I need to break away from Cassius's circle of contacts. The chief secretary position at the Kinnell Group is enough for me to rebuild my network. That's all."Amelia stared at me. "With a top-tier Alpha like that right in front of you, you really don't have any thoughts about him?"I looked at her without expression. "Do you think Theron is the kind of man who lets people walk all over him?"As soon as I said it, those deep, dark eyes flashed through my mind, and I could almost feel that overwhelming presence again.My wolf's ears twitched involuntarily."I heard from Dante that there was a woman who used to like him. She just wanted to hug him because she hadn't seen him in so long—and she almost got thrown out of the car."Amelia fell silent.I continued seriously. "If I ever dared to harbor any improper th

Chapter 64

Estelle's POVTheron's deep voice was right next to my ear.My whole body short-circuited. A rush of heat surged up through my skin and burned straight to the tips of my ears. It took me a few seconds to realize he was asking about my leg—nothing else."No… no.""Good."He guided my wheelchair into the elevator.The elevator.My mind went blank for a second, then immediately started replaying everything I did not want to remember.I instinctively looked up—and found Theron already looking down at me, his expression unreadable.The sheer awkwardness nearly took me out on the spot.Help. Someone help me.Ding.The doors opened. Top floor.My palms were soaked with sweat.I thought we were going straight to dinner, but Theron steered me toward the study instead."Dinner isn't ready yet," he said calmly. "We're just waiting around anyway. We might as well do someth

Chapter 65

Estelle's POVDinner was outrageously lavish.I'd been sulking just moments before, but the moment I took the first sip of soup, my inner wolf came alive.By the second sip, her tail was already wagging.By the third, her eyes were practically sparkling.By the end, I'd completely forgotten I'd been upset at all.My cutlery moved so fast it almost left afterimages. I finished every last bite of meat, soup, and vegetables in front of me.Even Theron's outstretched hand froze mid-air—the last piece of meat had already landed on my plate.For a brief second, the room went still. Then Adrian smiled, eyes crinkling. "Good? You should have some more."Theron glanced at the empty plate and, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, placed the last piece of meat into my bowl. "It's yours."I slowly lifted my head and met his smiling eyes.It's over—did I eat too much? I realized belatedly.

Chapter 66

Estelle's POVHis voice was hoarse, like a wounded beast tearing through its last breath. "What are you doing here?!"Thud!In the next instant, Cassius was sent crashing to the ground so fast I didn't even see the movement that caused it.Theron stood there, expression as indifferent as if he'd just flicked away a piece of trash. He calmly brushed down his cuffs, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.Then his gaze landed on me.Those eyes were terrifyingly deep, like a frozen sea trapped beneath a blizzard."So you let him into your den—and still went through all that trouble?" His voice was low and even, stripped of emotion. Yet the air around him tightened with oppressive pressure."It's over." My wolf went instantly on high alert. She could sense an Alpha's anger rising.The night corridor was unnaturally quiet, but the atmosphere was anything but calm. Alcohol, the scent of an out-of-control Alpha, and Th

Chapter 67

Estelle's POVIn that instant, the aura around him detonated.The Alpha's pheromones surged outward like a wild animal gone feral—raw aggression laced with pain and fury. Even in his disheveled state, the sheer pressure of an Alpha's presence made everyone nearby instinctively stiffen for a fraction of a second.One of the security guards even took an involuntary half-step back.In the world of wolves, submitting to strength was an instinct carved deep into the bones.The property manager's polite smile twitched, but he quickly steadied himself and stepped forward. He was a stocky, middle-aged man with a perpetually gentle, placating tone."Alpha Cassius, please don't get so worked up," he said, smiling so hard his forehead glistened with sweat. "You've had a bit too much to drink, haven't you? You're on the wrong floor. Let us take you back upstairs to rest, alright?"Cassius snapped his head up. His eyes were already beginning to flash with the silver edge of shifting."Who said I'm

Chapter 68

Estelle's POVI pulled my phone away from my ear."Facebook?" I frowned.Deep in my consciousness, my wolf twitched its ears. A faint, indescribable premonition crept up my spine.I opened Facebook, and almost instantly my feed was flooded with the same video. Several major accounts with millions of followers had reposted it at the same time, pushing it straight to the top of the homepage.I clicked on the video and smiled.Everything that had happened outside the airport yesterday afternoon had been re-edited—or rather, meticulously stitched together. In the footage, Melody looked fragile and pale, her eyes red-rimmed like a startled fawn. As for me, I looked like a she-wolf who had suddenly snapped—cold, dangerous—slapping her across the face without warning.Quite interesting. And even more interesting was the fact that Cassius had been edited out entirely.There wasn't a trace of him in the entire video, as though someone had taken a knife and precisely cut him out of the story.A

Chapter 69

Third person's POVMeanwhile, a call from the Harper family came in early that morning.Cassius, still hungover from the night before, sat on the edge of his bed, temples throbbing as if claws were raking through his skull. He hadn't slept properly since the bond had been severed. Every time he closed his eyes, a hollow, burning pain surged up from somewhere deep inside him, as though something that had once belonged to him had been torn out while he was still alive.When he finally answered the phone, the voice on the other end was frantic."Cassius! Come quickly! Something's happened to Melody!"He frowned. "What happened?"A brief silence. Then, the voice broke. "She slit her wrists."For a moment, the world seemed to go still."What?""After that video went viral on Facebook… she couldn't take it anymore. She killed herself at home last night."Cassius's pupils contracted sharply. The next second, he gr

Chapter 70

Estelle's POVFive days later, the wound on my leg had mostly healed.Wounds always itch as they heal. Werewolves recover far faster than ordinary humans—especially as the moon waxes and the power in our blood stirs more actively. In the past, whenever I was injured, my inner wolf would practically wag her tail at the speed of my recovery.But this time, she was uncharacteristically quiet. As quiet as the world outside—an eerie, unnatural stillness.Cassius hadn't come looking for me. No calls, no texts, no frantic rush downstairs, and certainly no storming in like a crazed Alpha.Of course, after the Facebook incident, he probably didn't have the bandwidth for anything else.Melody, who was being torn apart by the entire internet, and the Harper family, now effectively thrown onto the pyre, would never let him off easily.That's just how the wolf pack world works. When the prey starts bleeding, the first to strike are nev
