Chapter 157: Confrontation and Truth

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Isabella approached me with Oliver Rivers beside her, both wearing expressions that made my stomach clench with foreboding. The evening breeze carried tension as thick as the jasmine scent from the gardens.

“Oliver, say hello to Aunt Elena,” Isabella encouraged with false sweetness.

The young pup immediately hid behind Isabella’s skirt, refusing to acknowledge me. His small hands gripped the fabric tightly.

Isabella laughed with mock embarrassment. “Oliver is spoiled by Alpha Marcus. He only speaks to people within the Shadow Moon Pack’s inner circle.”

She leaned down to stroke Oliver’s hair with theatrical affection. “Isn’t that right, little one?”

My jaw tightened as I recognized her manipulation tactics. This wasn’t a casual encounter.

Isabella’s voice turned provocatively sweet. “Elena, how would you feel about becoming Oliver’s stepmother if Marcus adopted him?”

The question hit like a slap. I kept my expression neutral despite the anger building inside me.

“Oliver,” Isabella continued her performance, “would you want Elena as your mother?”

The pup’s voice rang out with fierce determination. “I have a mother!”

His declaration echoed across the stone terrace. Isabella’s smile faltered for just a moment.

I saw through her game completely. She wanted to create discomfort, to make me jealous of Marcus’s

attention to another woman’s child.

“I have no interest in helping others raise pups,” replied coldly. “Unlike Marcus, who seems to enjoy being a

father to other wolves‘ children.”

Isabella’s eyes flashed with triumph. “Using reverse psychology won’t work on me.”

She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. “You’re clinging to Marcus while talking about severing your mate bond.”

I turned to face her fully, my patience finally snapping. “Why don’t you ask Marcus directly who’s refusing the

bond severance?”

Without waiting for her response, I walked away in frustration. The sound of my footsteps echoed against the

manor’s stone walls.
