Chapter 72
“Why can’t I come into her life? Why should you be the one to decide?
Leo’s fury was palpable, his muscles tensing as he reached down and grabbed Narik by the collar.
His grip was tight, and for a moment, I feared he might actually follow through on his earlier threat.
“This is your sister–in–law, Narik!” Leo spat, his voice low and dangerous.
“You’re crazy if you think I’ll let you anywhere near her!”
fore Leo could throw another punch, I found myself rushing forward, grabbing his arm in a desperate attempt to pall kim back.
My voice was shaky, but I had to stop this before it escalated any further.
“Leo, stop!” I pleaded, my hands trembling as I tried to hold him back.
“Please, don’t do this. You’re both strong–if you fight here, who knows what could happen?”
The crowd around us had started to gather, their curious eyes fixated on the unfolding drama,
Whispers and murmurs filled the air as people began to recognize who Leo and Narik were.
The situation was spiraling out of control, and the last thing I wanted was for this to become a public spectacle.
Narik sneered as he dusted himself off, standing up with an air of nonchalance.
His gaze flickered between me and Leo, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.
“I know you two are ready to divorce,” Narik said, his voice calm, yet taunting
“Elizabeth is free now, Leo. You have no right to stop me from pursuing her–not to mention, I know her far better than you ever could
The words hung in the air like a dark cloud, and for a moment, it felt as if time had stopped.
Leo’s eyes blazed with fury, but before he could respond, Aria, who had been pushed aside earlier, suddenly gasped.
“And to even think of seducing your ex–husband’s brother–you’re such a shameless woman!”
Aría shouted, her voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
Her accusations were like daggers stabbing at me.
I stood there and looked at her coldly, “You didn’t get enough of me last time did you, you don’t have any memory of it?”
Saying that, I took a step towards her.
Aria cringed a bit, obviously a bit scared, and she shook Leo’s arm pitifully.
“Leo, look! She tried to do it to me again, what a violent person.”
“Fuck off!”
Leo suddenly shouted, shaking off Aria’s hand with a force that startled everyone.
His voice was filled with an intensity that made everyone around us flinch.
“Get away from me, or there’s no need to negotiate the contract!”
Aría recoiled as if she had been slapped, her face contorted with shock and hurt. She took a step back, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“Leo, you never used to be so mean to me…”

Hut Leo wasn’t having any of it
His face was a mask of harely restrained fury, his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles in his neck stood out. He turned to me, and the ent eyes softened, replaced by something that looked like heartache,
His gaze flickered to the tear tracks that hadn’t yet dried on my cheeks, and for a moment, his whole demeanor seemed to dat
“Liz,” he began, his voice low and pained, “the only reason I’m here with Aria is because the two parks are working on a brass daat. My takes akor me to greet the client–1 had no idea it would be her. We’re just here to inspect the amusement park, it’s one of our properties”
His explanation was rushed, almost desperate, as if he needed me to understand before I could make any autions.
ayl coldly, “We’re divorced, you don’t need to explain this to me.”
Narik let out a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing as he looked at his brother.
“Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, Leo,” Narik sneered, “but you couldn’t defy Father’s orders, could you? Becoming an Alpha was always the most important thing in your life. You, like our father, would throw everything away for the position of Alpha,”
Leo’s face darkened at Narik’s words, his fists clenching at his sides.
“Shut up, Narik!” he shouted, his voice shaking with barely contained rage. “You don’t know anything about what I’m dealing wahr
Just as the tension between them reached its peak, a commotion rippled through the crowd.
People began to part as a group of well–dressed men approached, their presence commanding attention.
The bodyguards started to clear the area, their movements swift and efficient, making way for a man who walked with an air of authority.
It was Andrew, Leo and Narik’s father, and the Alpha of their pack.
His face was stern, a frown creasing his brow as he approached.
His gaze swept over the scene, taking in the tension between his sons, the crowd of onlookers, and finally, me.
“Leo, Andrew said in a voice that was calm but laced with disapproval, “who are you arguing with? How many times have I told you that as an Alpha, you should keep your manners in public?”
Chapter 73
Andrew’s eyes landed on Narik, and his expression tightened, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face.
It was clear that he didn’t like what he saw.
His youngest son had always been a source of frustration for him–a rebel who refused to conform to the expectations of their pack.
When Andrew’s gaze shifted to me, his frown deepened, and I felt a wave of discomfort wash over me.
His eyes held a mixture of impatience and disdain, as if he was already tired of dealing with the situation before it had even fully unfolded.
Is a Luna,” Andrew began, his tone patronizing, “you have to be tolerant and not follow the Alpha wherever he goes. It’s normal for a man in business to have a few lovers around; don’t be so jealous.”
His words felt like a slap in the face, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger and hurt.
Was this how he saw me?
As someone who was supposed to just accept whatever came my way, no matter how degrading or painful?
Andrew didn’t wait for my response.
Instead, he turned to Leo, his voice commanding.
“Leo, why don’t you take Aria home first? I’ll handle the situation here.”
The authority in Andrew’s voice left no room for argument, but the look in Leo’s eyes told me that he wasn’t ready to leave things as they were.
His gaze shifted between me, Narik, and Aria, torn between his duty to his father and the emotions that were clearly tearing him apart.
That’s when Narik came up to me, he ignored Andrew’s sinister gaze, just looked at me intently and held out his hand to me, “Come with me, I’ll get you out of here.”
For a moment, I subconsciously wanted to raise my arm and just leave with Narik.
The next second, Leo held my hand, anger hidden in his voice, “She’s my Luna, you can’t take her.”
Narik grunted softly, provocatively, “It’s obvious that you’re going to give her up yet again, isn’t it? And I never cared for my father’s words. I would stand firm on her. You’re not a good choice of mate for Elizabeth.”
Andrew’s eyes narrowed, and the tension between them crackled like electricity.
The entire park seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the next move in this dangerous game of family dynamics.
And I stood there, caught in the middle, unsure of where I belonged in this world that was rapidly falling apart around me.
Leo’s cold voice echoed in the grand hall, its icy tone sending chills through everyone present.
“When we came here, you told me the Ocean Heart Pack sent their Beta, and that’s the only reason I agreed to discuss the amusement park project. You deceived me. If you’re worried about Aria’s safety, then you can take her back yourself.”
Andrew’s face darkened almost instantly, the
