Alphas Regret, the luna is secret heiress novel

Chapter 201 The Challeng Chapter 201 : The Challenge Accepted Chapter 201 : The Challenge Accepted ( Olivia's POV ) I opened the digital files Miranda had sent , my eyes scanning through the complex legal documents displayed on my computer screen . The case involved a territorial dispute between two allied packs over mineral rights and business partnerships that had been established decades ago . The evidence was scattered and incomplete . Key witnesses had died or disappeared over the years .

Several crucial documents were missing from the original agreements . This wasn't just a difficult case - it was nearly impossible to win . Miranda sat across from my desk , watching my expression carefully as I reviewed the materials . Her perfectly manicured fingers drummed silently against her Hermès handbag . " The case involves supernatural law precedents dating back fifty years ," I said , looking up from my screen .

" The territorial boundaries were established before modern pack registration systems . " Miranda nodded , her smile never wavering . " Yes , it's quite complex . My family's legal team said it would be very challenging to pursue . " I could see the calculation in her eyes . This was a test , not a genuine request for legal representation . If I refused the case , she could question my professional competence within werewolf legal circles .

If I accepted and lost , it would prove my incompetence compared to her own successful career managing pack business affairs . " The evidence is incomplete and the case is very complex ," I said calmly , meeting her gaze directly . " This case has a high risk of losing . Are you clear about that ? " Miranda's eyebrows rose slightly , as if surprised , by my directness . " Of course I understand the risks . " I leaned back in my chair , considering my options .

The smart move would be to decline politely and recommend another firm . Instead , I surprised myself by saying , " I'll take the case . " Miranda's composed expression faltered for just a moment . " You will ? " " Litigation inherently carries no guarantee of victory ," I explained , my amber eyes sparkling with determination . " Every case has certain risks .

Although this case is risky , I haven't encountered such a complex supernatural law case in a long time ." I stood up and walked to my bookshelf , pulling out a thick volume of werewolf territorial law . " I want to challenge myself ." Miranda watched me with growing confusion . This wasn't the response she'd expected . " I enjoy taking on challenging cases like this , " I continued , turning back to face her .

" If I handle this case well , it will establish my reputation in werewolf legal circles . For me , this is both a challenge and an opportunity . " ( Miranda's POV ) O 1/3 Chapter 201 The Challeng + Points > I stared at Olivia in stunned silence . In her amber eyes , I saw courage , confidence , resilience , and vibrant vitality . Before coming here , I had assumed she was merely a decorative figure relying entirely on Connor Rivers ' protection and pack resources .

I hadn't expected such courage and confidence from the young Luna . " You're certain about this ? " I asked , still processing her unexpected response . Olivia nodded firmly . " Absolutely . When can we sign the legal representation agreement ? " Twenty minutes later , we had completed all the paperwork . Olivia's assistant Emma Thompson witnessed our signatures and filed the documents properly . As prepared to leave , I watched Olivia already diving into the case materials with intense focus .

She had pulled out several law books and was making detailed notes . " I'll be working on this over the weekend ," she said without looking up . " I want to study all the relevant territorial law precedents ." Her dedication was impressive , even if it would ultimately prove futile . This case was designed to be unwinnable . I gathered my things and headed for the door , feeling oddly unsettled by the encounter .

After leaving Moonstone Legal Partners , I drove directly to Connor Rivers ' private estate . The imposing gates opened automatically as my car approached , recognizing my pre - registered vehicle . Lawrence Butler answered the front door with the respectful demeanor expected when serving an Alpha's household . The kind - faced beta werewolf in his fifties had served the Rivers family for decades . " Miss Blackwood ," he said politely . " How may I assist you ?

" " I have an appointment with Connor to discuss pack business cooperation , " I explained , smoothing my business suit . Lawrence nodded courteously . " Please wait here ' while I announce your arrival ." He disappeared into the house , using the pack's internal communication system . When he returned , his words confused me . " The Luna invites you in , " he said . I frowned slightly . " The Luna ? " " Mrs. Katherine Rivers , " Lawrence clarified .

" She's in the first - floor reception room ." Of course . Connor's mother , not a mate . I followed Lawrence through the elegant hallway . Katherine Rivers sat in the reception room with perfect posture , her ice - blue eyes assessing me with the calculating gaze of a pack matriarch . Her sophisticated appearance and dignified bearing commanded immediate respect . " Mrs. Rivers , " I said , offering a polite bow . " Thank you for receiving me .

" Katherine's attitude was courteous but not particularly warm . " Please , sit . Connor is in the upstairs study discussing pack business . He'll come down shortly . " I settled into the offered chair , noting the expensive furnishings and family portraits lining the walls . 2/3 Chapter 201. The Challeng " How are you finding your return to the Northern Territory ? " Katherine asked , her tone making polite conversation . " It's wonderful to be home , " I replied .

" I missed the pack community while studying abroad ." Ports Katherine nodded , then sighed deeply . " Connor is already thirty and still unmarked . I'm so worried about him . " The comment seemed casual , but I sensed deeper meaning behind her words . " He's focused on pack leadership responsibilities , " I offered diplomatically . Katherine's expression softened with genuine maternal concern . " I keep hoping he and Livvy will complete their mating ceremony soon .

I long for Olivia to officially join the Rivers pack and give me.grandpups ." The casual use of " Livvy " and Katherine's obvious affection for Olivia sent a clear message . This Luna only recognized one woman as her son's destined mate . Sensing my romantic interest in Connor , Katherine tactfully changed the subject . " You know , I have a friend whose son recently returned from studying pack leadership abroad . He's a wonderful alpha heir , very accomplished .

" I understood the implicit rejection immediately . Katherine was offering to introduce me to other eligible alphas while protecting her son's relationship . " That's very kind , " I said carefully , " but I already have someone special in mind . Someone you know very well . " Katherine's ice - blue eyes sharpened slightly , but she maintained her polite smile . Heavy footsteps on the stairs announced Connor's arrival .

He descended with Frank Langley and an unfamiliar pack advisor I didn't recognize . " Who is that ? " I asked , my curiosity piqued by pack protocol concerns . Connor deflected my question with Alpha authority . " Why did you come to my territory ? " His cold tone made me straighten in my chair . " Our business discussion was postponed yesterday . I brought my pack collaboration proposal . " I pulled out Miranda's Encrypted Legal Documents Drive and offered it to him .

Rather than taking it himself , Connor gestured to Frank . " Handle that ? " Frank plugged the device into a secure laptop , his movements efficient and professional . Connor scanned the contents with his enhanced werewolf perception , his expression growing darker by the moment . After less than five minutes , his verdict was harsh and final . " No. If you want pack cooperation , bring something worthwhile . Don't waste my time with this kind of proposal next time .

" Without waiting for my reaction or offering any explanation , he stood up and walked away with Alpha dismissiveness . 3 Comments Watch videos get points ( 0/10 ) > O 6.7K M Vote
