I sat down by her bed, my tone lazy and casual. \u201cGuess your nagging worked. You actually managed to drag me back home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth chuckled softly. \u201cYou brat, don\u2019t tease me like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
I straightened up, the humor fading from my face. \u201cWhat did the doctors say?\u201d<\/p>\n
She sighed. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing serious. I\u2019m just worried about Grant. He must\u2019ve heard that I\u2019m sick and thinks there\u2019s a chance to stir up trouble inside the pack. He\u2019s been restless lately.\u201d<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t even lift my eyes, my voice cool and sharp. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. He won\u2019t get far.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grant had built his own pack in Euron over the past 20 years, and business was booming- ough half of it was dirty work tied to the underworld. Ruth was right. He was ruthless, angerous, and reckless.<\/p>\n
This latest move of his was just a warning to Mooncrown Pack\u2014a reminder of the old grudge he still carried.<\/p>\n
A faint smirk tugged at my lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d better focus on getting better. Because if something happens to you, I can\u2019t promise what kind of chaos I\u2019ll turn Mooncrown Pack into.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou arrogant brat!\u201d she said, exasperated.<\/p>\n
Ruth took a deep breath and continued. \u201cLuis, my last wish is to see Mooncrown Pack and Blackcreek Pack united by marriage. You and Ms. Burn should set a date this year. Once it\u2019s official, those greedy branch families won\u2019t dare to act out anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
I raised my eyes halfway, reached for the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip. Then I set it down lazily and glanced at the maid who was brewing another pot nearby.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tea\u2019s bitter.\u201d<\/p>\n
The maid stiffened, trembling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Alpha! I\u2019ll make a fresh pot right away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 205 Bitter<\/p>\n
No one would ever make tea that tasted that bad.<\/p>\n
That meant only one thing\u2013Luis was using this as an excuse.<\/p>\n
The tea wasn\u2019t bitter.<\/p>\n
He was just showing his displeasure.<\/p>\n
But I couldn\u2019t back down now.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuis,\u201d I said softly, \u201cI know you never truly accepted this engagement. But only through a strong alliance can Mooncrown Pack stay at the top among the werewolves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d His tone was calm, but I could feel the chill beneath it.<\/p>\n
I held his gaze, speaking slowly and firmly. \u201cYou\u2019re the sole heir of Mooncrown Pack. You\u2019ll turn 25 soon, and when the Blood Moon Curse takes effect, you will no longer have the luxury<\/p>\n
cting on impulse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Silence filled the room for a long time.<\/p>\n
Then came Luis\u2019s cold, low voice. \u201cWhat if I say no?\u201d<\/p>\n
He lifted his head, his dark eyes locking on mine.<\/p>\n
The weight of that stare made my chest tighten.<\/p>\n
In that moment, I realized\u2013Luis had grown up.<\/p>\n
He was no longer someone I could control.<\/p>\n
But I had to maintain order in Mooncrown Pack.<\/p>\n
As one of the pure\u2013blood families, we couldn\u2019t allow any slip that might weaken what had been built over centuries.<\/p>\n
I was about to speak again when my gaze landed on his neck\u2013and the faint mark hidden beneath his collar.<\/p>\n
My face darkened instantly. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me this is about that Omega.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis\u2019s eyes snapped open, sharp and alert.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve seen her?\u201d<\/p>\n

The storm in his expression sent a chill through me.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d only mentioned the Omega, yet it was enough to make him react like this.<\/p>\n
And in that instant, I knew\u2013I could never accept that woman.<\/p>\n
