Chapter 89: Pack Justice and Shattered Bonda


    Chapter 89: Pack Justice and Shattered Bonds


    <b>(</b>Cassandra’s POV)


    Sophie Parker swirled her Moonlight Wine in her ss, the liquid catching the flickering lights as she fixed


    me with a smirk.


    “Cassandra,” she drawled, leaning forward conspiratorially. “I heard Olivia Winters has a new Alpha now. So, aren’t you and Alpha Ethan getting closer?”


    I sat motionless, my <b>face </b>partially hidden in the shadows. The corner of my mouth twitched involuntarily as i felt a cold sensation spread through my chest. My green<b>–</b>gold eyes shed with something dangerous in the


    darkness.


    Sophie was deliberately provoking me, and we both knew it. Ever since Ethan’s suicide attempt for Olivia Winters, I’d be the subject of whispered conversations throughout the Grey pack territory.


    I forced a smile, gripping my wine ss tighter. “Ethan has been too busy with Grey pack affairstely. He hasn’t had time to consider mating.”


    “Oh?” Sophie’s eyebrows shot up in feigned surprise. “But I heard he’s been <b>in </b>Harbor <b>City </b>Memorial Hospital They say he’s so weak he can barely stand without assistance.”


    Her words were deliberately exaggerated, each one designed to twist the knife deeper. My expression darkened as I fought to maintain myposure.


    “It’s <b>just </b>a cold from overwork,” I dismissed with a wave of my hand. “His wolf is a bit weakened after the…. incident. Nothing serious.”


    “Of course, of course,” Sophie nodded with exaggerated concern. “But you know how these things can be. Apromised immunity in werewolves can lead to all sorts ofplications.”


    Each word was like a silver barb, designed to prate and poison. I knew what she was doing – everyone in our social circle did. Sophie Parker had never truly been my friend.


    “Speaking of rtionships,” I said, desperate to shift the focus, “how are things with you? Still with that omega boyfriend of yours?”


    Sophie’s smile faltered slightly. “Brandon and I broke up.”


    I seized the opportunity, my lips curling into <b>a </b>vindictive smile. “Brandon Hayes? That parasitic omega? I heard he was cheating on you with at least three other she–wolves from his social media.”


    I raised my ss to her, a cold glint in my eyes. “Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say,”


    Sophie’s face tightened, but she clinked her ss <b>against </b>mine nheless. As I sipped my wine, I made a silent vow to myself. I would win Ethan back. I would make those who doubted me pay. And I would solidify my position as Luna of the Grey pack, no matter what it took


    (Connor’s POV)


    The next day. I drove Olivia back to the Rivers Pack Mansion. The familiar scent of home gr “us as we stepped through the grand entrance, my <b>wolf </b>immediately settling into thefort of our territory.


    Chapter 89 Pack Justice


    My mother, Katherine Rivers, was waiting for us in the main hall. Her face lit up when she saw Olivia, and she immediately came forward to greet her.


    “Livvy, you’re here!” Mother eximed, taking Olivia’s hands in hers. “Come, sit down. Luna Katherine hasn’t seen you for many days. How have you beentely?”


    Olivia followed my mother to the plush sofa in the grand hall. I watched as she settled in, noting how her posture rxed slightly. Her wolf seemed to sense the weing energy of the Rivers pack.


    “I’ve been doing well recently, Luna Katherine,” Olivia replied with a gentle smile


    Mother took Olivia’s hand in a gesture of genuine affection. “I’m d to hear that. And please, just call me Katherine when we’re alone<b>.” </b>


    I sat down next to Olivia, casually crossing my long legs. I rested my hand on the back of the sofa behind her, my ice–blue eyes scanning the room as I asked, “Has Father returned yet?”


    Mother looked up at me. “Do you need William for something important<b>, </b>Con?”


    “Yes,” I confirmed with a nod. “He should be arriving soon.”


    “What’s the matter? Mother asked, her curiosity evident.


    “It concerns expelling Vanessa Reed from the Rivers Pack,” I stated tly.


    Mother’s <b>eyes </b>widened in surprise. “Vanessa has been captured? When?”


    “She was apprehended in ckmoor Territory yesterday,” I replied, my voice betraying no emotion despite the satisfaction I felt.


    Mother’s brow furrowed slightly. “Have you informed your grandparents, Elder Rivers and Eleanor, about this development?”


    I nodded. “Grandfather is unable to return from the capital but has entrusted me with handling the matter. I’ve informed Grandmother Eleanor as well.”


    Mother sighed, her expression troubled. “Eleanor has always doted on Vanessa. her expulsion this time.”


    e will not easily agree to


    I felt my jaw tighten. “Regardless of how much Grandmother favors Vanessa, she will not be able to influence my decision as the acting Alpha.”


    The grand hall of the Rivers Pack Mansion fell silent after my deration. The tension in the air was palpable as we waited.


    Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor. Grandmother Eleanor had heard that I had an important pack matter to announce and had hurried back from a gathering at a neighboring elder’s


    estate.


    Father also arrived, having dropped his pack business to rush back. The entire family now sat on the sofas in the hall, the atmosphere heavy with anticipation.


    “Con, what’s the matter?” Grandmother Eleanor asked, her voice tinged with worry.


    All eyes fixed on me as I took out my phone and made a call to Dominic Reeves. “Bring her over,” I instructed before hanging up


    I looked at my grandmother, my expression cold. ‘Grandmother will know in a moment”


    – Chapter 89 Pack Justice


    Five minutester, Dominic led Vanessa into the hall. Grandmother Eleanor was stunned at the sight of her. She trembled as she walked over to Vanessa.


    “Nessa, you… you <b>are </b>confused!” Grandmother’s expression was one of profound disappointment, tears shing in her eyes. “Your grandfather said that on the day of the engagement ceremony, you instructed Jessica Sullivan to kidnap Grace Winters?”


    Vanessa’s face was pale, her lips dry and peeling. Her violet eyes were sunken with dark circles underneath, making her look haggard and withered. Her wolf spirit was clearly broken.


    I could see the pity in Grandmother’s eyes as she asked, “What have you experienced these days? How did you let yourself be like this?”


    “Grandmother…” Vanessa cried out pitifully.


    I saw Grandmother’s heart tremble at the sound. After all, Nessa was a pup who had grown up by her side. Although she had made a grave mistake, Grandmother still couldn’t bear to see her in such a state.


    Grandmother only knew that Vanessa had instructed Jessica to kidnap Grace. In her opinion, this kind of mistake, while serious, could still be atoned for within the pack.


    What she didn’t know was that Jessica was already dead. Jessica’s father, Walter Jenkins, the security officer Gregory Steele, and Gregory’s mother, Martha Steele, had all been silenced by Vanessa’s machinations or those of her allies. Nothing could make up for such bloodshed.


    “Vanessa Reed,” I <b>said </b>coldly, “today I will formally announce in front of the entire pack leadership that you will be expelled from the Rivers Pack, and from now on you will have nothing to do with the Rivers family or its lineage.”
