Chapter 91: Confrontation and Schemes

(Elena’s POV)

“Who would think she’d have a chance if I had a miscarriage?” I demanded, my voice rising with each word “You had countless opportunities to choose to believe me, but you didn’t. You never doubted the most likely person”

Marcus’s face darkened, his golden eyes flashing with something dangerous. But I was beyond caring about

his reaction.

“Then please don’t pretend to help me while doing these meaningless things,” I continued, my chest heaving with suppressed rage.

Without waiting for Marcus to respond, I turned and left Director Baker’s office. My footsteps echoed sharply against the marble floors as I walked away.

As I moved through the corridor, I clutched my aching chest. Inexplicable emotions overwhelmed me

couldn’t swallow a breath.

The resentment and hatred toward my mate’s blindness filled every corner of my being. How could willfully ignorant?

I went back to find Natalie Dawson at the Healer’s Station. She looked up as i approached, her eyes still red

from crying.

“I spoke with Director Baker about your mother’s situation,” I said gently. “I truly believe Nurse Delia Thompson wouldn’t harm me.”

Natalie’s face crumpled with disappointment. “Is the dismissal unavoidable then?”

I hesitated, knowing the truth would hurt her more. “Marcus intervened in the decision. I’m not sure if I can

change the Alpha’s mind.”

“I understand,” Natalie whispered, her voice barely audible.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t do more,” I said, feeling genuinely helpless.

Natalie nodded and thanked me before leaving the office, her shoulders slumped in defeat

As Natalie walked toward the Healer’s Station, I called out to her. “Natalie!”

She turned, wiping her eyes quickly. “Miss Rivers? Do you need something?”

I glanced toward Elena’s Healing Chamber, then stopped in front of Natalie “Don’t you want to seek justice

for your mother?”

Natalie looked confused by my words. “What do you mean?”

I smiled and leaned closer, whispering something malicious into her ear. Her eyes widened with

astonishment, and I could see she was unable to calm down.

The seed was planted. Now I just had to wait for it to grow.

(Diana Blackwood’s POV)

At the Blackwood Ancestral Manor, Sebastian and I saw that the time was right. We approached Margaret

Blackwood in the Great Hall.

“Mother, we have good news, I announced, barely containing my excitement. “Adrian Whitmore has agreed to

the mating alliance”

Margaret looked up from her tea, her expression cautious. “Has the Whitmore family agreed as well?”

I glanced at Victoria Blackwood, who was watching us with obvious skepticism. “Since Adrian agreed, the

Whitmore family will likely agree as well”

“We should invite Adrian over for a meal,” Sebastian suggested. “To foster a connection between Isabella and

him.”

Isabella blushed shyly at the mention of her name, her hands clasped tightly in her lap.

Victoria scoffed openly. “You’re rushing things, Diana.”

“Marcus’s mating to Elena was also quick,” I retorted, my temper flaring.

Victoria rolled her eyes and stopped arguing. Margaret considered our proposal for a moment.
