He didn’t want to make things any uglier than they already were. All he wanted was to wrap this up as quickly as possible, get the money and the Silvermoon Pack’s territory, and then focus on preparing the ceremony to welcome Maris as his mate.
As for taking half of Laila’s fortune, that wasn’t his idea. But Maris had personally asked him to do it. If he failed, she would be disappointed.
Besides, she had a point. A weak Omega like Laila could never protect a hundred-million- dollar fortune. He was really doing this for her own good.
Once he earned more military achievements and accumulated more wealth, he would pay her back every cent.
He was just borrowing it for now.
But he didn’t dare tell Laila any of this. His conscience wouldn’t let him.
The rest of the Enclaws, including the white-robed elders, also stayed silent. They all felt guilty. None of them could twist the truth as shamelessly as Elara could.
“Alright, I understand.”
Now that Holt had spoken, Elara finally reined herself in a little. She looked at Laila impatiently. “Laila, disclose the total amount in your accounts. Don’t even think about trying to fool us. We know you have at least a hundred million in there!”
“Is that so?”
Laila replied with a cold smile. “Funny. I had no idea I was that rich.”
She had already transferred her assets to another account long ago. Even if they investigated, they wouldn’t find anything.
Elara let out a cold snort. “Just hand it over when you’re told. If you refuse, then leave the Ironclaw Pack with nothing. You won’t be allowed to take a single thing! Oh, and one more thing. Leave behind the land deed to the Silvermoon Pack’s territory! A worthless thing like you has no use for it. Sooner or later, someone will just take it from you anyway. Better to give it to Holt now!”

“You… you’ve gone too far! Now you’re trying steal the Silvermoon Pack’s land too!” Tobias was so furious his eyes rolled back.
Under the Alpha King’s rule, every pack’s Alpha held a land deed to their own territory. Possessing that deed meant sovereignty over that land.
After Laila’s father died in battle and her mother was murdered, the Silvermoon Pack’s land deed had passed into her hands.
Now, looking at Elara-to whom she had devoted an entire year of caretaking-Laila wanted to slap herself for being so foolish.
Her devotion had been spurned, discarded as if it were refuse.
Laila turned to Holt. “Holt, you promised my mother that you would never take the Silvermoon Pack’s land. Have you forgotten?”
