Pearl grabbed my hand and asked worriedly, “Ms. Conlay, everything will go smoothly, right?”
“Yes.” I gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. Holt won’t take my money. Just stay here and finish packing. Once the mate bond is dissolved, I’ll come back for you and we’ll leave together.”
“Alright, Ms. Conlay. I’ll be waiting for you!”
Pearl nodded firmly.
I turned and headed toward the Elder Council hall on the west side.
The sun was bright along the way, and the air carried a sweet, fresh scent. I suddenly remembered that when I was little, I had visited the Ironclaw Pack with my father. We had run into Holt back then. He was only 12 years old, but already a promising young warrior.
My father had even praised him, saying he had good character and that, if he kept at it, he might one day become a fine general.
Now he had indeed become a general, but….
I shook my head, refusing to dwell on it any longer, and quickened my pace toward the hall.
When I reached the entrance, I saw Holt holding a letter, his expression stunned and disbelieving.
I glanced down at it and immediately saw what i said.
Make sure to keep half of Laila’s fortune.
It was signed by Maris.
“General Duffy really does have my best interests at heart. She’s even letting me keep half of my fortune.”
I couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
Holt snapped out of his daze, his face flushing red. He crumpled the letter and shoved it into his pocket.

“No, that’s not in Manis would never take you money! She’s nothing like you. Her dream is to make life better for every she-wolf im the word. Including you. She wants to protect you too!”
“Is that so?”
I stared straight into his eyes. “The affinen ulbee bond is dissolved, you’ll let me leave with all of my assets? You won’t send soldiers, to shop me?”
Holt opened his mouth but said invothing
My heart sank. I was completely done with hun.
“Hesitating, are you? So you really do plam no meall my ffoxmune!!”
“Laila!”
Holt roared in humiliation and fury, instinctly releasing him Alpha dominance to suppress me. But I wasn’t afraid. Nita had almost fully covered.
I ler Nita help me resist his pressure and walk right past him into the hall.
“Laila, have they been mistreating you? Don’t be afraid. Tell me, and I’ll stand up for you.”

I hadn’t expected Holt to invite him as a witness for the dissolution of the mane bomdl. Tixem again, it made sense. On my father’s side of the family, I was the only one leff….
My eyes stung with tears. I bowed respectfully to him. “Mr. Songler, thank you for coming all this way. I’m sorry for the trouble. I’ve brought shame to our family.”
“Laila!” Tobias’s eyes glistened with tears. “As long as I’m here, speak your mind. I’ll make sure you’re treated fairly.”
Elara let out a cold laugh. “And what exactly do you mean by that? Maris was supposed to come in as the second Luna, which would have ranked her below Laila. The way you’re talking, you’d think we’ve been bullying her. Have we bullied her?”
She looked at me, her face a mask of wounde righteousness. “Laila, ask yourself. Since you married into this family, have we ever cursed you or hit you? Have I ever looked down on you for being an Omega?”
I slowly shook my head. “No.”
