Alphas Regret, the luna is secret heiress novel

Chapter 66 : An Awkward Revelation - 2 I rolled my eyes but couldn't help smiling at my friends . As embarrassing as their teasing was , it came from a place of love . " You two are impossible , " I said , heading for the door . " That's why you love us ! " Lily called after me . Left alone in Rebecca's luxurious living room , my friends continued their gossipy speculation without me . Through the partially open door , I could hear Lily's voice turn more serious .

" Speaking of relationship disasters , " she was saying , " did I ever tell you about that guy I dated in college ? The one who turned out to be engaged ? " I paused , my hand on the doorknob . I'd never heard this story before . " No way ," Rebecca gasped . " What happened ? " " Classic story , " Lily sighed . " Met him in a class , he pursued me relentlessly . Claimed he was single , of course . We dated for three months before his fiancée showed up at my apartment .

" " Oh god , Rebecca murmured sympathetically . " Yeah , it was awful . She had no idea about me either . We were both victims ." Lily's voice grew quieter . " The worst part was everyone on campus knew before I did . The humiliation was … intense . " I felt a pang of sympathy for my friend . I'd known Lily since we were pups , but she'd never shared this particular heartbreak with me . " What did you do ? " Rebecca asked .

" Well , after I finished crying for about a week , my half - brother Ethan Quinn got involved . You know how protective he is , despite being such a gossip himself . " I smiled slightly , remembering Ethan Quinn's reputation for being both the biggest source of pack gossip and fiercely protective of those he cared about . " He confronted the guy in the middle of the campus cafeteria , " Lily continued , a hint of pride in her voice . " Told him if he ever came near me again , he'd regret it .

I've never seen Ethan so angry . " Not wanting to eavesdrop any longer , I quietly slipped out the front door . As I drove toward Moonlaw Legal Services , I couldn't help but reflect on how lucky I was to have friends who cared so deeply , even if they showed it through relentless teasing . Twenty minutes later , I pulled into the parking lot of Moonlaw Legal Services .

The modern glass building gleamed in the afternoon sunlight , a stark contrast to the emotional turmoil I was about to walk into . Inside , I found Jade Mitchell in the reception area , her arm around a young woman who couldn't have been more than twenty . The girl's shoulders were hunched protectively , her body language screaming vulnerability and fear . Jade looked up with relief when she saw me . " Ms. Winters , thank you for coming so quickly .

" I approached them slowly , my amber eyes filled with concern . All thoughts of my earlier embarrassment FREE 1/2 O < * Chapter 56 An Awkward vanished as my professional instincts took over . " Hello , I said gently to the young woman . " I'm Olivia Winters . Would you like to talk somewhere more private ? " The girl looked up , her tear - stained face revealing a fresh bruise blooming across her cheekbone .

My wolf bristled protectively at the sight , though I kept my expression calm and compassionate . " Yes , please , " she whispered , her voice barely audible . Jade gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze . " I'll bring you both some tea , okay ? " I nodded gratefully to Jade , then guided the young woman toward my office . As we walked , I noticed how she flinched at sudden movements and kept her gaze downcast - classic signs of ongoing abuse .

My heart ached for her , but I also felt a surge of determination . This was why I became a lawyer - to help those who couldn't help themselves . To be a voice for the voiceless . Comments
