Chapter 145: The Luna’s Vindication
<b>(</b>Cassandra’s POV)
I wiped away my tears and cried during my live broadcast, “Those who have been following me for <b>a </b><b>long </b>time know that I was abroad before, and only returned to the Northern Territoryst year.”
My green–gold eyes shimmered with calcted tears as I addressed my werewolf followers through <b>the </b>streaming tform. My wolf carefully projected wounded innocence through the screen.
The viewer count had climbed to over three thousand. Comments flooded the chat with hearts <b>and </b>
supportive messages.
“Cassie, we missed you so much!”
“You look so sad, what happened?”
“Tell us everything, we’re here for you!”
I let my voice tremble slightly as I continued. “I know many of you have been wondering about my personal life since I returned.”
My fingers delicately touched the corner of my eye, catching a perfectly timed tear. “It’s been…plicated.” The chat exploded with concern and curiosity. My followers hung on every word.
“After returning to Harbor City, I reunited with someone very special,” I said softly. “My first love. My destined
mate.”
Thements went wild with excitement and romantic sighs. Werewolf culture revered the concept of destined mates above all else.
“Is it Ethan Grey?” someone typed in bold letters,
“Please tell us it’s Ethan!”
“You two would be perfect together!”
I let the anticipation build for a moment before nodding slowly. “Yes,” I whispered, my voice breaking with emotion. “It’s Ethan.”
The chat erupted in celebration. Hearts and congrattory messages filled the screen faster than I could
read them.
“The mate bond calls to us across time and distance,” I dered dramatically. My wolf’s scent carried false sincerity through the screen. “Male wolves never forget their first love. That connection… it’s sacred.”
I paused <i>to </i>let <i>more </i>tears fall. “When we saw each other again, it was like no time had passed at all. <b>The </b>bond was still there, stronger than ever.”
My <i>followers </i>were eating up every word. The romantic narrative yed perfectly into werewolf mythology about eternal mates.
“But…” I let my voice c<b>***</b>kpletely. “There’s been interference.”
Chapter 145 The Luna’s V
<b>The </b><b>mood </b><b>in </b><b>the </b><b>chat </b>shifted instantly. Protective anger reced celebration<b>. </b>
“What <b>kind </b>of interference?”
“Who dares interfere with a mate bond?<b>” </b>
“That’s against packw!”
I burst into fresh tears, my shoulders shaking with calcted sobs. “There’s a third party who won’t <b>ept </b>that Ethan and I are meant to be together.”
The outrage in thements was immediate and fierce. My supporters demanded justice for their beloved
actress.
“This is uneptable!”
“Mate bonds are sacred!”
“Who is this home–wrecker?”
I covered my face with my hands, letting the tears flow freely. “She’s his ex–girlfriend. She refuses to ept
their breakup.”
The chat exploded with fury. Werewolves took mate interference very seriously.
“Give us her name!”
“We’ll handle this bond–breaker!”
“No one messes with our Cassie!”
I looked up with red–rimmed eyes, feigning reluctance. “I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone…
“Tell us!” thements demanded. “We need to protect you!”
“She needs to learn her ce!”
“Mate stealers deserve punishment!”
I bit my lip as if struggling with the decision. “I don’t have her social media ounts…”
The disappointment in the chat was palpable. My followers wanted immediate action.
“But,” I said hesitantly, “she’s awyer. She runs aw firm in Riverdale called Moonstone Legal Partners.”
The chat lit up with renewed energy. My followers were already nning their attack.
“Her family name is Winters,” I added quietly, stopping just short of revealing Olivia’s full name.
Within seconds, my followers were sharing the information and organizing their harassment campaign. I watched with satisfaction as they took the bait.
“We’ll find her!”
“Justice for Cassandra!”
“Bond–breakers must be exposed!”
I ended the stream with a final tearful plea for understanding and support. My wolf purred <b>with </b><b>satisfaction </b>at the chaos I had unleashed.

Chapter 145 The Luna’s V
The jarring ring of my phone jolted me awake in my apartment in Riverdale. I had set the volume to maximum, anxious about any news regarding Grace.
My amber eyes snapped open as I grabbed the device. Reba’s name shed on the screen.
“Reba?” I answered immediately, my voice hoarse from sleep.
“Liv, you need to see this immediately,” Reba’s voice was urgent. Her wolf conveyed protective anger through her tone. “There are online rumors spreading across werewolf social media about you being a
mate–stealer and bond–breaker.”
I sat up abruptly, my wolf bristling with rm. “What are you talking about?”
“Check Howlr right now,” Rebamanded. “Search for the hashtag about Cassandra iming mate
theft.”
I quickly opened the app on my phone. The trending topics made my blood run cold.
“#Cassandraims MateTheft” was at the top of the werewolfmunity trends. Thousands of posts and
I clicked on the hashtag with trembling fingers. A marketing ount had posted a videoption of
Cassandra’s live broadcast.
My amber eyes shed with cold fury as I watched her maniptive performance. Her calcted tears and false ims about destined mates made my wolf snarl internally.
Thements under the video were vicious. Werewolves from across the territory were calling for my punishment.
“This Winterswyer needs to be stopped!”
“Mate interference is unforgivable!”
“Someone find her full name!”
“Moonstone Legal Partners should fire her!”
I hung up with Reba and immediately called my legal team. My voice was sharp and professional despite
my rage.
“This is Olivia Winters. I need immediate action on a defamation case.”
Within thirty minutes, the trending topic vanished from werewolf social media tforms. My legal team worked with supernatural efficiency.
Moonstone Legal Partners released awyer’s letter announcing our intention to sue Cassandra Evans for defamation and spreading false ims about mate bonds.
But the real shock came when Ethan Grey posted on his Howlr ount. His statement was simple and
devastating.
“Miss Cassandra Evans and I are not in a rtionship, and Attorney Winters is not interfering with any mate bond.”
The werewolf inte exploded with spection and disbelief. The narrative hadpletely flipped.
Comments flooded Ethan’s post within minutes.
Chapter 145. The Luna’s V
<b>“</b>Wait, what?”
“So Cassandra was lying?”
“Is SHE the actual bond–breaker?”
“Attorney Winters handled this perfectly!”
“Cassandra just destroyed her own career!”
My phone buzzed with messages from supporters and colleagues. The legalmunity was <b>rallying </b><b>behind </b><ol><li>me. </li></ol>
The swift reversal felt satisfying, but I knew this was far from over. Cassandra had made a dangerous <b>enemy </b>
today.
(Connor’s POV)
Henry Morris burst into my office with urgent news. His usuallyposed demeanor showed <b>cracks </b>of
concern.
“Alpha Connor, there’s been a social media attack on Miss Olivia,” he reported breathlessly.
My ice–blue eyes shed with Alpha authority. My wolf demanded immediate action to protect my intended
mate.
“Exin,” Imanded, my voice deadly calm.
Henry quickly briefed me on Cassandra’s livestream and the harassment campaign against Olivia. Each detail made my fury burn hotter.
<i>How </i>dare anyone target my fiancée? The audacity was beyondprehension.
“Miss Olivia has already handled the legal response,” Henry continued. “But the damage to her reputation…”
I stood abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. My wolf was ready for war.
<i>“</i>Contact the streaming tform administration immediately,” I ordered with deadly calm. “Ban Cassandra Evans‘ ount permanently!”
Henry nodded and reached for his phone. “Right away, Alpha.”
“And Henry,” I added, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper, “Make sure every tform <b>knows </b>that attacking Olivia Winters means dering war on the Rivers pack.”
My wolf’s protective instincts were in full control now. No one threatened what belonged to me <b>and </b>lived to tell about it.
