To visit Ruth Eaton of the Mooncrown Pack, I dressed in a dark power suit and kept my makeup light.<\/p>\n
Now I sat properly on a couch, waiting.<\/p>\n
The Mooncrown Estate was massive. The grand living room alone had eight carved walnut doors, each guarded by a servant in a tuxedo.<\/p>\n
I had been waiting nearly two hours. Restlessness tugged at me, but I forced myself to stay calm.<\/p>\n
Meeting Ruth was a rare chance I had fought hard to get.<\/p>\n
At last, someone pushed the door on the east side open.<\/p>\n
Ruth stepped out slowly, supported by two maids.<\/p>\n
Her silver hair was styled in an elegant bun with pearl pins. Ruth wore a burgundy velvet dress embroidered with fine detail. That outfit made her look noble and untouchable.<\/p>\n
I quickly stood and bent at the waist.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood afternoon, Mrs. Eaton. I\u2019m Ursa Pearson, Luna of the Iceclaw Pack.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then I pointed to the exquisite gift box on the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a 1982 Lafite and a box of rare white truffles, treasures from my pack. I heard you haven\u2019t been sleeping well lately, so I brought these for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth casually glanced at the gifts and gave a small nod.<\/p>\n
One of the maids stepped forward, collected them, and carried them away.<\/p>\n
She sat in the armchair with the help of her maids. After a pause, she said faintly, \u201cThat\u2019s thoughtful of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled, trying to close the distance. \u201cMy pack has some old ties with yours. I wonder if you<\/p>\n
still-\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUrsa,\u201d Ruth cut me off, her tone sharp but calm. \u201cSay what you came here to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

My chest tightened. Clearly, she wasn\u2019t someone who tolerated games.<\/p>\n

I dropped the polite talk and spoke directly, \u201cI\u2019m here because I fear Mr. Eaton being deceived.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may not know this yet, but your pack recently invested eight billion dollars into the Mistbane Pack\u2019s project. On top of that, Mr. Eaton purchased the Muses\u2019s shop opening rights for them at a high price. Don\u2019t you think Mr. Eaton might be under Deanna\u2019s spell?\u201d<\/p>\n
I laid a folder on the table. \u201cHere\u2019s Deanna\u2019s background. She\u2019s just an ordinary Omega with no strong lineage. She was once engaged to the Olsendreich Alpha. I thought you\u2019d want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth lowered her eyes and gave the papers the briefest look.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seem very concerned about my pack business.\u201d<\/p>\n
I froze and quickly bowed my head. \u201cNo, I wouldn\u2019t dare.\u201d<\/p>\n
She gave a cold smile. \u201cMy grandson has always done as he pleases. For us, whether it\u2019s eight billion or 80 billion, we wouldn\u2019t blink.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, of course,\u201d I rushed to agree.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut didn\u2019t you order last night\u2019s story about Mr. Eaton at the Mistbane Mansion to be removed from the news?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her gaze cut toward me like a blade.<\/p>\n
My whole body froze, and cold sweat soaked through my<\/p>\n
shirt.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Eaton, I didn\u2019t mean to dig around. Mistbane Pack stole the brand rights from my pack, so yes, we hold a grudge against them. But on the other hand, I noticed Mr. Eaton seems serious about Deanna.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also know that packs like yours value bloodlines more than anything. That\u2019s why I gave you a friendly reminder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth said nothing, only waved her hand.<\/p>\n
Relieved, I was practically stumbling as I rushed out of the estate.<\/p>\n
Ruth\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
After Ursa left, I tightened my grip on the coffee cup.<\/p>\n
The Blue Mountain coffee inside rippled gently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something dirty in this coffee. Dump it,\u201d I said coldly.<\/p>\n

The housekeeper, Alina Cook, hurried over and carefully took the cup. sitting too long. The staff was careless. I\u2019ll brew you a fresh one right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
The grinding sound of the coffee machine filled the room.<\/p>\n
Soon, Alina placed a new cup of coffee in front of me.<\/p>\n
I lifted it slowly, took another sip, and murmured, \u201cYes, that\u2019s the fragrance I wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alina smiled and replied, \u201cCoffee beans have grades. Only the finest, single\u2013origin beans can produce this purity. Cheap beans will never please your taste. People are the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words hit home.<\/p>\n
I set the cup down, a smile curving my lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that case, invite Ms. Wiley to the estate. Let her taste what real, first\u2013class coffee is.\u201d<\/p>\n
