Chapter 368 A Grudge Unresolved<\/p>\n
Third\u2013person POV:<\/p>\n
The two men were Carey\u2019s second son, Harrison Barkley, and his third son, Gerald Barkley.<\/p>\n
Recently, Mooncrown Corporation and Bluestone Bank had been working toward forming a partnership.<\/p>\n
Although Carey hadn\u2019t officially stepped down as Alpha, his energy wasn\u2019t what it used to be, so his sons had taken over most internal pack affairs and business matters.<\/p>\n
This particular collaboration had been initiated by Carey, with his sons handling the execution.<\/p>\n
The idea was to ride on Mooncrown Corporation\u2019s coattails so Bluestone Bank could get a piece of the pie.<\/p>\n
Harrison spoke up. \u201cMs. Wiley, would you mind if we borrowed Mr. Eaton for a moment?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna was already embarrassed after realizing people had been watching them, and with the teasing added in, her ears warmed bright red.<\/p>\n
Deanna looked at Luis. \u201cGo ahead. I\u2019m going to find Maggie.\u201d<\/p>\n
The villa hosting the birthday celebration was up in the hills, and once the party ended, getting Maggie home wouldn\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n
Deanna planned to give her a ride when they left.<\/p>\n
Luis brushed his fingers against hers, clearly uneasy about letting her go off alone. \u201cCome find me if anything happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerald smiled. \u201cMr. Eaton and the future Luna really are close.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna didn\u2019t want to come across as clingy in front of everyone. \u201cI know. I won\u2019t interrupt your business talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a room on the third floor of the villa, Jennifer stormed in and immediately started throwing things.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so pissed! I\u2019ve never been humiliated like this in my entire life! Aaahhh!\u201d<\/p>\n

Victoria followed behind her, picking up the pillow that had been hurled to the floor. \u201cAlright, Jenni, that\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Eaton is the most elite pure\u2013blooded Alpha in all of Nordvale. Even your grandfather has to show him respect. Why on earth did you go and provoke that woman?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s face throbbed with pain, her chest tight with fury as she sat down on the edge of the bed. \u201cI just can\u2019t stand women like her!<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy should everyone bend over backward for some gold\u2013digger just because she latched onto Mr. Eaton?\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria sighed. \u201cThat\u2019s how werewolf society works. If you\u2019ve got the skills, go find yourself a powerful Alpha who\u2019ll protect you like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer scoffed. \u201cThe best man in all of Nordvale already got snatched up by her. Where am I supposed to find anyone now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Jenni, be a good girl and stop stirring up trouble. We already embarrassed ourselves back there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, my face is killing me and you\u2019re still taking that homewrecker\u2019s side? Are you even my mother?\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria pulled out a special anti\u2013swelling ointment and began applying it to her daughter\u2019s cheeks. \u201cIt\u2019s because I\u2019m your mother that I\u2019m telling you to stop making waves. That Omega is pregnant. In Mooncrown Pack, she\u2019s a prized treasure. There\u2019s no point picking a fight we can\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer\u2019s eyes went wide, her hand pressed against her swollen cheek. \u201cHow is that fair?\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria knew her daughter had been spoiled since childhood and didn\u2019t yet understand these social dynamics. \u201cBecause she\u2019s going to be the Luna of Mooncrown Pack.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Eaton is just blind! He got bewitched by that seductress. Mom, I\u2019m pretty too! If I\u2019d met him sooner, maybe I\u2019d be the one standing next to him right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria humored her. \u201cYes, yes, my daughter is the prettiest. I\u2019ll definitely find you a good man. Besides Mr. Eaton, doesn\u2019t Mr. Olson from Olsendreich Pack still need a mate?\u201d<\/p>\n
At that, Jennifer shot to her feet. \u201cMr. Olson is that homewrecker\u2019s ex! I\u2019m not taking her sloppy seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria blinked in surprise.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t realized Deanna had that kind of history\u2013connections to the two biggest packs in Nordvale,<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, forget Mr. Olson then. I\u2019ll reach out to Grisclaw Pack one of these days. Their Alpha doesn\u2019t have a mate either, and he\u2019d be a good match for your status.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jennifer had zero interest in the idea. Right now, the only one she had feelings for was Luis.<\/p>\n
Why should she settle for someone else?<\/p>\n
That Omega only got her position because of the pup in her belly. If something happened to that baby, she\u2019d like to see how Deanna planned to secure her place then.<\/p>\n
She was not going to let those two slaps go unanswered.<\/p>\n
Jennifer replied dismissively. \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Victoria finished applying the ointment, she reminded Jennifer once more not to cause any more trouble before heading to the next room to change clothes.<\/p>\n
Of course Victoria was furious too.<\/p>\n
Her precious daughter had been slapped, and she had been forced to bow and apologize to some lowborn Omega.<\/p>\n
But Mooncrown Pack and Bluestone Pack weren\u2019t even in the same league.<\/p>\n
When it came to the pack\u2019s interests, this bit of humiliation was nothing.<\/p>\n
Better to focus on how she and her daughter could secure more assets within Bluestone Pack.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Grisclaw Pack, Jennifer really was at the age where she should be matched with a powerful Alpha.<\/p>\n
An alliance marriage would boost their standing in Bluestone Pack, and having someone to keep Jennifer in check might help temper her wild personality.<\/p>\n
Victoria already had a plan forming in her mind. Tomorrow, she would arrange afternoon tea with the former Luna of Grisclaw Pack.<\/p>\n
