Chapter 141: Pack Justice and Territory Disputes
(Third person’s POV)
Richard Winters pulled out his phone with decisive authority. His amber eyes blazed with Alpha
determination as he dialed the enforcer’s emergency line.
“This is Alpha Richard Winters of the Winters pack,” he spoke into the device. “I need to report a k********g and potential pack conspiracy.”
Within twenty minutes, two Northern Territory enforcers arrived at the Rivers Pack Mansion. Their black uniforms bore the silver wolf insignia of territorial law enforcement.
The lead enforcer, a stern beta werewolf named Captain Marcus Stone, surveyed the assembled pack members with professional detachment. His partner, Officer Sarah Chen, took notes as the situation was explained.
“We understand that Grace Winters, age eight, was kidnapped by Frederick Warner,” Captain Stone stated. “Since the initial k********g occurred in Riverdale territory, we have jurisdiction to open a case.”
His voice carried the authority of territorial law. “We’ll coordinate with enforcers in Cloudmere and Blackmoor Territory to apprehend the suspect.”
Officer Chen looked up from her notepad. “However, the matter of information leaks between pack members falls outside our jurisdiction.”
Captain Stone nodded grimly. “Internal pack disputes must be resolved through your own hierarchy and
customs.”
Eleanor Rivers stepped forward, her face flushed with indignation. “What about the assault that occurred here? Olivia Winters struck my foster granddaughter.”
The enforcer’s expression remained neutral. “Unless the victim wishes to press charges, minor altercations between pack members are considered internal matters.”
Vanessa Reed shook her head quickly, violet eyes wide with apparent innocence. “I don’t want to press charges. It was just a misunderstanding.”
Captain Stone closed his notepad. “Then our business here is concluded regarding the assault. We’ll focus our resources on locating Grace Winters.”
After the enforcers departed, the mansion fell into tense silence. Eleanor Rivers reached into her purse and withdrew a small silver pill container.
She dry–swallowed one of her Elder Rivers‘ Emergency Wolfsbane Antidote pills. The medication would help stabilize her heart rate after the emotional upheaval.
“Now that the authorities have left,” Eleanor said, her voice sharp with renewed anger, “we can address the
real issue here.”
Her piercing gaze fixed on Olivia with unmistakable hostility. “You will apologize to Vanessa immediately for your barbaric behavior.”

Olivia’s amber eyes flashed with defiant fire. A bitter laugh escaped her lips as she faced the Rivers matriarch.
“Apologize?” Olivia’s voice dripped with contempt. “She is not worthy!”
Eleanor’s face contorted with rage. “It’s a good thing you didn’t enter the Rivers pack’s door!
The insult hung in the air like a poisoned blade. Katherine Rivers and Connor both frowned simultaneously at the harsh words.
Katherine stepped forward, her Luna Instincts seeking to mediate. “Mother, Olivia has just survived a k********g attempt. Her sister is missing and she’s under tremendous stress.”
Her voice carried gentle but firm authority. “Perhaps we should show more compassion given the circumstances.”
Connor’s ice–blue eyes blazed as he faced his grandmother. “I seek to mark Olivia as my mate. Such words about her wanting to join our pack should never be repeated.”
His Alpha authority pressed against the room. “She is my chosen Luna, and she deserves respect as such. Richard Winters had heard enough. His amber eyes burned with territorial fury as he faced the assembled Rivers family.
“I’ve seen enough of the Rivers pack’s hospitality,” he declared with cutting disdain. “Olivia, we’re leaving. Now.”
His voice carried the command of an Alpha protecting his offspring. “I won’t subject my daughter to further insults in this house.”
Olivia nodded curtly, her decision already made. She turned to face Eleanor Rivers directly, her amber gaze
cold as winter steel.
“I will investigate who leaked information to Ethan Grey,” she stated with deadly certainty. “When I find proof
of Vanessa’s involvement, I will not spare her.”
Her voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. “That’s a promise, not a threat.”
Olivia turned toward the door, but Connor’s hand shot out to grasp her wrist. His ice–blue eyes pleaded with
desperate intensity.
“Livvy, wait-”
“Let go,” Olivia said coldly, wrenching her hand free from his grip. Her amber eyes held no warmth as she
faced him.
“I will make Vanessa pay for what she’s done,” she continued, her voice carrying absolute conviction. “Even if it means becoming your enemy and the Rivers pack’s enemy.”
Connor’s face went pale with shock and hurt. “You don’t believe I would be on your side?”
His voice cracked with pain at her lack of faith in him. “After everything we’ve been through?” Olivia’s expression remained unmoved. “Actions speak louder than words, Connor Rivers.”
As Olivia moved toward the exit, Eleanor’s voice rang out with imperious authority. “Stop right there, young
lady!”

Connor’s patience finally snapped. His Alpha auta exploded through the room as he whirled to face his grandmother.
“Enough!” he roared, his voice carrying the full weight of his future pack leadership. You will be silent!”
The command hit Eleanor like a physical blow. Her wolf instinctively submitted to the superior Alpha authority, leaving her speechless.
Vanessa approached Connor with tears streaming down her face. “Brother, please don’t be angry with grandmother. She’s just trying to protect our family-”
“Don’t,” Connor cut her off sharply, brushing past her without a glance. “I have calls to make.”
He strode toward the staircase, his movements rigid with controlled fury. Vanessa’s heart shattered as he dismissed her so completely.
Katherine glanced at Vanessa with calculating eyes before following her son upstairs. Her Luna instincts sensed the dangerous undercurrents threatening their pack’s stability.
William Rivers rubbed his temples, feeling a massive headache building. “Mother, your behavior tonight was completely unreasonable.”
His voice carried the exhaustion of an Alpha dealing with family politics. “The Winters family is suffering because of our pack’s problems, and you’re making it worse.”
He shook his head in disgust. “I’m going to my study. Try not to create any more disasters while I’m gone.” William departed, leaving Eleanor and Vanessa alone in the main hall. The matriarch’s face showed her age as the stress took its toll.
Vanessa moved to sit beside Eleanor, her violet eyes filled with feigned concern. “Grandmother, are you feeling alright? Your heart medication…”
Eleanor patted Vanessa’s hand with genuine affection. “I’m fine, dear. I’m just sorry you had to endure such treatment.”
Her voice softened with maternal warmth. “You’ve done nothing wrong, and yet you’re being blamed for everything.”
Vanessa leaned into Eleanor’s embrace, hiding her satisfied smile. “I just want our family to be happy again.” Eleanor called out to the household staff. “Martha Wilson! Bring some ice for Vanessa’s face. That bruise needs immediate attention.”
The loyal servant hurried to comply, her expression troubled by the evening’s events.
Upstairs in his private study, Connor dialed Dominic Reeves‘ secure line. His ice–blue eyes burned with cold determination.
“Dominic, I need a full investigation,” he commanded without preamble: “Vanessa Reed’s recent movements and any connections to Ethan Grey.”
His voice carried the authority of an Alpha who would not be denied. “I want phone records, surveillance footage, everything. Leave no stone unturned.”
Meanwhile, Olivia and Richard left the Rivers Pack Mansion in the Winters family car. The silence between father and daughter was heavy with unspoken emotions.

“We’re going to Harbor City Memorial Hospital,” Richard Instructed the driver. ‘Natalie needs to see that Olivia
is safe.”
The drive through the night felt endless. Olivia stared out the window, her mind racing with plans for revenge against those who had betrayed her.
At the hospital. they found Natalie Winters in a private room. Her face was pale and drawn, her eyes red from
crying.
“Olivia!” Natalie gasped, struggling to sit up in her hospital bed. “Thank the moon goddess you’re safe!”
Tears streamed down her face as she reached for her stepdaughter. “I was so terrified when I heard about. Grace. My baby girl…”
Olivia moved to embrace Natalie, offering what comfort she could. “I’m here now. We’re going to find Grace and bring her home.”
Her voice carried gentle reassurance despite her own emotional turmoil. “Frederick Warner needs Grace alive as a bargaining chip. She’s safer than we fear.”
Natalie clung to Olivia desperately. “Promise me we’ll get her back. Promise me my daughter will come
home.”
“I promise,” Olivia said firmly. “Grace will be returned to us safely.”
After leaving the hospital, Olivia directed the driver to a nearby electronics store. The bright fluorescent lights felt harsh after the hospital’s subdued atmosphere.
She purchased a new smartphone and reapplied for a phone card. The process felt surreal after everything she’d endured in the past twenty–four hours.
As soon as the device powered on, it was flooded with notifications. Missed calls and unread messages filled the screen in an overwhelming cascade.
Most were from Connor, his desperation evident in the frequency of his attempts to reach her. A few came from Richard, Natalie, and her friends and colleagues.
Having survived a night of terror, she was finally safe and connected to the world again. The simple act of holding a functioning phone felt like reclaiming a piece of her normal life.
Olivia immediately dialed Emma Thompson’s number. Her assistant’s voice was her first priority after the ordeal.
“Olivia?” Emma’s voice carried disbelief and relief. “Are you okay? I couldn’t contact you last night, I was so
worried!”
The girl’s voice broke with emotion. “I was afraid something happened to you and I called the enforcer in a hurry. How are you? Where are you now?”
Olivia didn’t want to involve innocent people in the dangerous situation. She also couldn’t bear to worry her friends with the full truth of her k********g.
“I’m fine, sorry,” she replied softly. “Something happened temporarily last night.”
Emma breathed an audible sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re okay.”
Olivia’s voice became more focused. “Where are you now?”

“I’m in a hotel,” Emma responded immediately.
“Send me the address,” Olivia instructed. “I’m going to find you now.”
Emma quickly provided the location details. After leaving the Rivers Pack Mansion, the Winters family driver had taken them to the hospital, and Olivia had kept the car when they departed.
She checked the navigation system. The hotel was not far from her current location, perhaps ten minutes by
car.
