The next day, inside the top-floor boardroom at Reyesfield Headquarters, Tabitha slammed her palm onto the table, rattling the glasses."We bury this patent crisis today! No matter what!" Tabitha's eyes were sunken, her voice raw with trapped desperation. "When the screen turns on, nobody says a word about the penalties! Am I clear?!"Beside her, Griffin sat looking utterly drained, his dark suit hanging loose on his frame. The agonizing burn of the torn mate mark chewed away at his sanity every passing second.On Griffin's other side, Kendra's eyes were red and swollen, looking noticeably thinner. Yet the two who used to scramble over her barely glanced her way.Around the long table, dozens of international shareholders and pack elders sat with dark expressions, the air in the room so heavy it felt suffocating.Ten in the morning sharp.The massive display screen at the front hummed softly and blinked on.The encrypted feed connected.On the other side sat Europe's highest-tier natio

The investigation order from the International Regulatory Directorate spread across the desk. The lead inspector looked cold and unyielding."Hand over the original lab logs from the last eight years. Prove who the real inventor is. Or lose your production license forever. This is your only shot at a temporary permit."Tabitha slumped in her chair, gray and lifeless like a dead tree.Griffin pressed one hand hard against his forehead, his knuckles white. His brow furrowed tight as he barked orders."Bring up the sealed archives from the basement vault. All of them."Half an hour later, dozens of heavy metal archive boxes slammed onto the conference table.Choking, stale dust drifted through the air.Tabitha and Griffin had no choice but to brace themselves, flipping page by page through the original records hidden for eight long years.The deeper they dug, the harder Griffin's fingers shook.From the molecular calculations of the very first groundbreaking wolf inhibitor to the lab logs

Chapter 13

Around the corner outside the press hall, Kendra's face turned paler with every flash of the media cameras inside.Finally, clutching her chest, she collapsed limply at the foot of the stairs."Griffin, my chest hurts so much! It's all my fault Mother is taking the heat...""My wolf is tearing me apart! Take me to the hospital, please! I can't breathe..."Any time before, Griffin would have swept her into his arms in a frantic rush. But right now, he stood frozen in place.His eyes looked down at the moaning woman on the floor, cold and dark.He took two steps back, putting distance between them."Call an ambulance," Griffin rasped, not even looking her in the eye. "Dump her at a public hospital. Keep her out of my sight.""Griffin?!" Kendra shrieked, her fragile mask shattering instantly as she stared in disbelief at the man walking away without looking back....That night, at the Reyesfield ancestral estate.The entire manor was as quiet as a grave. Not a single servant dared breath

Chapter 14

The red exclamation points on the screen hit him like a heavy hammer, shattering his last shred of hope.Griffin knelt on the icy floor, his chest heaving violently. As the blinding pain faded, a bone-chilling clarity took over.Seven years.This wasn't the first time Rowan had walked away. Yet why, every single time their relationship showed a flicker of warmth, or whenever Rowan was about to shine, was it derailed by some sudden crisis?"Pull all the records from the last eight years. Police reports, hospital bills, vehicle logs, security footage. Everything."Griffin braced himself on the floor and stood up.The old butler didn't dare waste a second. Within half an hour, sealed folders covered the low table. Hauled out of the master bedroom, Tabitha stood there exhausted, her eyes darting in guilt.As the yellowed pages spread out in chronological order, the brutal truth washed over everyone in the room like ice water."Over eight years, she claimed to suffer forty-two wolf-shock fi

"Sign before midnight. Or every offshore account and core facility under Reyesfield gets seized by dawn."The lead representative of the European legal team stood at the end of the long table, his voice flat and detached.A thick liquidation document hit the low table in front of Tabitha with a heavy thud.Less than two hours remained before the final deadline.Tabitha sank deep into the sofa, her thin fingers clutching the pen so hard the veins on the back of her hands bulged violently."Six hundred million dollars... in royalties..." Tabitha's teeth chattered, her voice breaking to pieces. "She's wiping out the entire pack! How can she be this ruthless? I am her father's lawful widow!""Dr. Rowan made this clear. This is a legal liquidation, not a family sit-down."The lawyer flipped to the appendix, tapping his finger hard against the terms."First: immediately pay the six hundred million dollars in back-owed patent royalties from the past eight years. Second: return all three coast

"Let me in! I run Frostwolf Industries! I am her fated mate!"Outside the Brussels International Conference Center, veins bulged on Griffin's temples, his face hollow and sick with exhaustion. The non-stop tearing pain of the broken bond sent sharp spasms through his ribs with every single breath.Four armed security officers stood stone-faced, arms locked like an iron wall across the checkpoint."Me too! I'm her father's widow! I'm her mother!" Tabitha screamed from behind the crowd, her hair a mess, stripped of every ounce of her former dignity.The head guard checked his handheld terminal, his gaze colder than ice."Our system shows Chief Rowan's family record is blank. She left specific notes. No personal contact with either of you. You are flagged as high-risk stalkers. Step behind the line. Now.""You dare block me?!" Griffin flared his pureblood aura.The next second, several tactical officers stepped forward, raising stun shields right against their chests.In front of dozens o

Eleven at night, the private lounge on the ground floor of the hotel.The faint scent of absinthe drifted through the dim air. It was so quiet you could hear ice melting in the glasses."Rowan, just ten minutes. Please. Ten minutes."Griffin stumbled forward, blocking my booth. His voice was raspy, like he had swallowed gravel.He was wasted away to bone, his tall frame hanging loose inside his dark coat.I glanced at my watch, pulled out a chair, and sat down."You have nine minutes and fifty seconds."Griffin swayed on his feet. With violently trembling hands, he pulled a velvet box from his coat and pushed it onto the table before me.The lid popped open. Inside lay the flawless diamond ring meant for our mating ceremony.The next second, inside the dead-silent lounge, this arrogant pureblood Alpha dropped hard onto the carpet, falling to both knees.He bowed his head and tilted his neck back, leaving his vulnerable throat completely bare before my eyes—the ultimate werewolf sign of

Chapter 18

I didn't expect Tabitha to seek me out alongside Griffin. Over the past few days, she pulled every string she had, claiming she had to hand over items my father left for me.The moment the private dining room door opened, Tabitha shot up from her chair:"Rowan, you're here!"I stayed silent for a second. "Where are the things?""I know you're angry. Mom truly knows she was wrong..."Her eyes were red and swollen, her cheeks hollowed out. Every trace of the arrogant high-society matriarch was gone.With shaking hands, she pushed the case beside her across the table and opened it.Inside lay more than a dozen yellowed letters from my late father, stacked neat and tidy, alongside several research notebooks painstakingly glued back together piece by piece."Look! I had it all restored! Nothing is missing!" Tabitha spoke in a frantic rush, her face desperate to please. "Your room on the second floor, I had it fixed back to how you liked it! I threw all of Kendra's things out! We're family!

"I'll give you my life! Just give me back everything!"Inside the lobby of the Royal Hotel in Brussels, a disheveled figure threw herself violently at my feet.It was Kendra.In front of everyone, she wrapped her arms around the pillar beside me like a lunatic, smashing her forehead against the stone."It's all my fault! Go back to North America! Let the pack run again! I'll jump off the roof right now! Isn't my life enough for you?!"The lobby was packed with international delegates, top scientists, and major media outlets. Camera flashes went off wildly as gasps rippled through the crowd."Kendra, stop!"Hurrying into the lobby, Griffin went white at the sight and moved forward to help her up.The second he reached out, he slammed into my gaze.My eyes were dead cold, watching him like he was a pathetic clown. Griffin froze solid, yanking his hand back like he had been electrocuted.He stumbled back several steps, putting distance between them. Deep disgust and humiliation flashed in

Chapter 20

Kendra was officially prosecuted on multiple felony charges, facing millions in civil damages and dark, endless prison time.Facing absolute legal destruction, Tabitha stripped away every privilege she had ever given Kendra, leaving her own daughter to rot in a foreign prison cell.With all the cross-border lawsuits settled, I booked my flight home.Stepping out of the VIP terminal, the biting cold wind rushed against my face."Rowan..."A wrecked, broken voice called out near the gate.Griffin stood outside the exit, wasted away to the bone, his jaw covered in rough stubble. The once sharp, arrogant pureblood Alpha was now a hollow ghost. The non-stop decay from the severed bond made him shake just trying to stay on his feet.He had waited there for six whole hours.Seeing me approach, his bloodshot eyes tracked me as he blocked my path, presenting a document bearing the Supreme Court's gold seal with both trembling hands.Stamped across the front in bold letters: Irrevocable Lifetime
