Chapter 132: Confrontation and Schemes

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

I emerged from the washroom, feeling slightly embarrassed about being caught eavesdropping. Hugo stood by his desk, his expression unreadable.

“Are you always so unsympathetic toward she–wolves?” I asked teasingly, trying to lighten the mood.

Hugo’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Sophia Rivers needs Alpha Marcus Blackwood’s

mine.”

I nodded, then remembered something that had puzzled me. “I’m surprised Professor Andrew Kelly accepted her as a student. He hasn’t taken werewolf students from the Northern Territory for years.”

“That’s because she benefited from an anonymous research paper,” Hugo replied, his tone matter–of–fact.

My eyebrows rose with interest. “Anonymous research paper?”

“Neural stem cell transplantation techniques,” he explained. “Published about ten years ago. Quite

A chill ran down my spine. That was my research paper – the one I’d published anonymously during my final year at the academy. The irony of the situation struck me like a physical blow.

Sophia had built her academic reputation on my own work. The thought was both infuriating and darkly

“Miss Rivers,” he said formally. “Our Madam wants to see you.”

Before I could ask questions, he escorted me to a luxury vehicle. The rear door opened to reveal an elegant, well–maintained middle–aged she–wolf who appeared younger than Víctoria Blackwood.

pack society.

“I’m Evelyn Ashworth,” she said, her voice cultured and commanding. “Hugo’s mother from the Ashworth

Pack.”

My heart skipped a beat. This was Hugo’s mother – and she wanted to meet me.

“I’ve heard that my son has a she–wolf,” Evelyn continued, studying my face carefully. “I wanted to investigate,

I remained silent, unsure how to respond.
