Chapter 226: Hugo’s Sister

(Elena’s POV)

My face darkened as the housekeeper’s words hung in the air. The implication was crystal clear – I was damaged goods in their eyes. A “previously mated she–wolf” unworthy of their precious heir.

I knew the Ashworth family was among the four most powerful werewolf dynasties in the Southern Territory. Their expectations for Hugo’s mate would naturally be high. But the woman’s condescending tone made my blood boil.

Just as I opened my mouth to deliver a scathing retort, a clear voice cut through the tension.

“Selina Walsh, you can’t represent my brother’s decisions, can you?”

The housekeeper startled visibly, her shoulders stiffening as she awkwardly stepped aside.
