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.

“Miss,” she acknowledged, her previous confidence evaporating.

I turned toward the doorway where a young woman stood. She appeared to be around twenty, with princess–cut straight hair that framed her face like a doll’s. Her skin was porcelain–white, almost luminescent in the morning light. She wore a warm–toned court–style nightgown with a knitted cardigan draped over her shoulders.

What struck me most were her eyes – beautiful fan–shaped eyes that bore an unmistakable resemblance to Hugo’s. I realized with surprise that I’d never known Hugo had a sister.

The young woman met my gaze and smiled slightly before turning her attention to Selina.

“She’s my brother’s guest, isn’t she?” Her voice remained gentle but carried an undercurrent of authority. “If my brother heard these words, you’d be in trouble.”

“These were the Luna’s
