Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 105: Moonpetal Flower

Knight Dimitry Petrov remained kneeling as he delivered his report to Lord Alexander Ivanov. The hall, draped in regal crimson and silver banners, was silent except for the calm cadence of Dimitry’s voice. He recounted everything that had transpired at Imperial Haven the previously.

When Dimitry confirmed that Roman Ivanov was alive and the situation had not escalated into a full-scale conflict, Alexander leaned back in his throne with a heavy sigh of relief.

"You did well," Alexander said, his voice calm but layered with concern. "From the moment she stepped foot in Moscow, I feared something like this would happen. Many of our younger clan members are arrogant... rash even. They could’ve easily provoked her."

He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "You should continue following her discreetly until she leaves Russia. I don’t want any further incidents."

After a pause, he added, "Are you absolutely sure she didn’t visit any bars or casinos? No nightclubs? No strange meetings?"

Dimitry shook his head. "I’m certain, My Lord. She never left her hotel room except for work. No suspicious outings. No nightlife."

Alexander arched a brow. "What did she do in her room all this time?"

"I don’t know exactly," Dimitry admitted. "According to hotel staff, she requested a bottle of Beluga Gold Line Vodka upon check-in. Other than that, she ordered different gourmet meals for each of her three daily meals. And that’s it. Even her subordinates weren’t allowed inside her room without a clear reason."

Alexander let out a small chuckle. "What an interesting girl. Fiona raised her well."

Then he turned toward his granddaughter, who sat beside her on another seat. "Anastasiya, look at your brothers and sisters... indulging in luxury, traveling the world without a care. And then look at Eleanor Raynor. She had over two hundred billion dollars in assets under her name before the age of thirty."

His tone grew heavy. "And don’t assume she got it all from her family. I heard she returned the entire investment her family gave her at the start of her business ventures. Everything she owns now, she built on her own."

He exhaled a long, slow breath. "And what have my descendants done? They keep taking from the family treasury. Even the ones who manage to run successful businesses never repay what they borrowed. During our youth, we had to fight wars to protect every coin we earned. Now, the younger generation just drowns in luxury. With each passing decade, they grow weaker."

There was a sharpness in his eyes now... a deep frustration laced with worry.
