"Ma'am, congratulations for securing another contract and pack alliance again," Clara said as she walked beside Genevieve.Genevieve let out a smile before entering her office. She walked directly to the fridge and took a bottle of water. After drinking it, she sighed before facing Clara."Where's Tristan?" she asked."Oh, the Alpha left. He left a letter for you, it's on your table."She nodded before making her way to the table. She picked up the letter and smiled."Don't work too much today, my love. Make sure you go home on time. Don't bother coming to see me. I left for an urgent work out of town and will be back tomorrow." The letter read."Clara, do I still have any work today?" Genevieve asked before sitting down."No ma'am, the last thing on the list is for you to go for your bridal fitting, which would be in the next 30 minutes.

"We tell everyone she ran off with him. If anyone finds her, they'll think he did it."Tristan stared at his sister-in-law, something between horror and admiration crossing his face. "You're more ruthless than I thought," he said."I learned from watching you," Ivy replied.They drove her far from the pack

Servants moved quickly to reset the altar, guests straightened in their seats, and the priest cleared his throat before beginning again, his voice carrying over a crowd still buzzing with whispers no one could fully silence.Tristan stood beside Ivy, his hand damp against hers, his mind still circling the same impossible question. Genevieve stood a few feet away beside Alpha Thorne, calm, composed, her eyes occasionally drifting toward Tristan with a look he could not read."We continue as planned," Ivy whispered through her smile, barely moving her lips. "She only knows you want him dead, not how. There's no way she could have touched the wine, my father watched the servants prepare everything himself."Tristan nodded slowly, some of the color returning to his face. "You're right," he whispered back. "She's bluffing. She wants to shake us, that's all."The priest called both couples fo
