Chapter 208: Encirclement

(Sophia Rivers’s POV)

The server led me to the adjacent private dining chamber. I paused outside the door, smoothing my makeup with practiced precision. My reflection in the polished surface looked perfect every strand of hair in place, every line of my face carefully contoured.

I pushed the door open with confidence, my gaze immediately landing on the vague figure behind the decorative screen. From his silhouette, I could tell he was strong and young, exactly the type of powerful Alpha I needed to cultivate.

I brushed my hair behind my ears with deliberate grace, walking forward with the practiced charm I’d perfected over years of manipulation. My smile was perfectly calculated as I spoke.

“You must be Nolan Chavez, right?”

The man didn’t turn around. Instead, he picked up a glass of red wine, swirling it slowly. When he spoke, his voice carried a sneer that made my blood run cold.

“After all these years, you haven’t changed. It seems failing to become Luna to Alpha Marcus doesn’t stop you from seducing other pack leaders.”

My smile froze on my face. That voice… I knew that voice. Terror shot through me like ice water in my veins.

The man turned around slowly, deliberately. When I saw his face, I stumbled backward, my legs nearly giving

“Felix Xavier, you… why is it you?”

Felix Xavier stood before me like a nightmare made flesh. His refined features hadn’t changed, but those cold

eyes held the same predatory gleam that had haunted my dreams for years.

“What’s wrong?” he questioned coldly, his voice like shards of glass. “Did Hazel Green not tell you that I’m back in the Northern Territory?”

My face turned pale as I shrank back against the wall. My hands pressed against the cold surface, seeking support as my world tilted dangerously,

In my eyes, Felix was a two–faced devil who had once been my handler. I had been deceived by his refined appearance years ago, fooled into thinking he was a gentleman. I would never forget the physical and mental torture he had inflicted during our previous arrangement.

Felix walked towards me with predatory grace. Each step he took made me tremble more violently. My body remembered the pain, the humiliation, the complete powerlessness I had felt under his control.

He stopped directly in front of me, close enough that I could smell his expensive cologne mixed with something darker, more dangerous.
