Chapter 145: The Luna’s Vindication
(Cassandra’s POV)
I wiped away my tears and cried during my live broadcast, “Those who have been following me for a long time know that I was abroad before, and only returned to the Northern Territory last year.”
My green–gold eyes shimmered with calculated tears as I addressed my werewolf followers through the streaming platform. My wolf carefully projected wounded innocence through the screen.
The viewer count had climbed to over three thousand. Comments flooded the chat with hearts and
supportive messages.
“Cassie, we missed you so much!”
“You look so sad, what happened?”
“Tell us everything, we’re here for you!”
I let my voice tremble slightly as I continued. “I know many of you have been wondering about my personal life since I returned.”
My fingers delicately touched the corner of my eye, catching a perfectly timed tear. “It’s been… complicated.” The chat exploded with concern and curiosity. My followers hung on every word.
“After returning to Harbor City, I reunited with someone very special,” I said softly. “My first love. My destined
mate.”
The comments went wild with excitement and romantic sighs. Werewolf culture revered the concept of destined mates above all else.
“Is it Ethan Grey?” someone typed in bold letters,
“Please tell us it’s Ethan!”
“You two would be perfect together!”
I let the anticipation build for a moment before nodding slowly. “Yes,” I whispered, my voice breaking with emotion. “It’s Ethan.”
The chat erupted in celebration. Hearts and congratulatory messages filled the screen faster than I could
read them.
“The mate bond calls to us across time and distance,” I declared dramatically. My wolf’s scent carried false sincerity through the screen. “Male wolves never forget their first love. That connection… it’s sacred.”
I paused to let more tears fall. “When we saw each other again, it was like no time had passed at all. The bond was still there, stronger than ever.”
My followers were eating up every word. The romantic narrative played perfectly into werewolf mythology about eternal mates.
“But…” I let my voice c***k completely. “There’s been interference.”

The mood in the chat shifted instantly. Protective anger replaced celebration.
“What kind of interference?”
“Who dares interfere with a mate bond?”
“That’s against pack law!”
I burst into fresh tears, my shoulders shaking with calculated sobs. “There’s a third party who won’t accept that Ethan and I are meant to be together.”
The outrage in the comments was immediate and fierce. My supporters demanded justice for their beloved
actress.
“This is unacceptable!”
“Mate bonds are sacred!”
“Who is this home–wrecker?”
I covered my face with my hands, letting the tears flow freely. “She’s his ex–girlfriend. She refuses to accept
their breakup.”
The chat exploded with fury. Werewolves took mate interference very seriously.
“Give us her name!”
“We’ll handle this bond–breaker!”
“No one messes with our Cassie!”
I looked up with red–rimmed eyes, feigning reluctance. “I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone…
“Tell us!” the comments demanded. “We need to protect you!”
“She needs to learn her place!”
“Mate stealers deserve punishment!”
I bit my lip as if struggling with the decision. “I don’t have her social media accounts…”
The disappointment in the chat was palpable. My followers wanted immediate action.
“But,” I said hesitantly, “she’s a lawyer. She runs a law firm in Riverdale called Moonstone Legal Partners.”
The chat lit up with renewed energy. My followers were already planning their attack.
“Her family name is Winters,” I added quietly, stopping just short of revealing Olivia’s full name.
Within seconds, my followers were sharing the information and organizing their harassment campaign. I watched with satisfaction as they took the bait.
“We’ll find her!”
“Justice for Cassandra!”
“Bond–breakers must be exposed!”
I ended the stream with a final tearful plea for understanding and support. My wolf purred with satisfaction at the chaos I had unleashed.

Chapter 145 The Luna’s V
The jarring ring of my phone jolted me awake in my apartment in Riverdale. I had set the volume to maximum, anxious about any news regarding Grace.
My amber eyes snapped open as I grabbed the device. Rebecca’s name flashed on the screen.
“Rebecca?” I answered immediately, my voice hoarse from sleep.
“Liv, you need to see this immediately,” Rebecca’s voice was urgent. Her wolf conveyed protective anger through her tone. “There are online rumors spreading across werewolf social media about you being a
mate–stealer and bond–breaker.”
I sat up abruptly, my wolf bristling with alarm. “What are you talking about?”
“Check Howlr right now,” Rebecca commanded. “Search for the hashtag about Cassandra claiming mate
theft.”
I quickly opened the app on my phone. The trending topics made my blood run cold.
“#CassandraClaims MateTheft” was at the top of the werewolf community trends. Thousands of posts and
comments filled the feed.
I clicked on the hashtag with trembling fingers. A marketing account had posted a video compilation of
Cassandra’s live broadcast.
My amber eyes flashed with cold fury as I watched her manipulative performance. Her calculated tears and false claims about destined mates made my wolf snarl internally.
The comments under the video were vicious. Werewolves from across the territory were calling for my punishment.
“This Winters lawyer needs to be stopped!”
“Mate interference is unforgivable!”
“Someone find her full name!”
“Moonstone Legal Partners should fire her!”
I hung up with Rebecca and immediately called my legal team. My voice was sharp and professional despite
my rage.
“This is Olivia Winters. I need immediate action on a defamation case.”
Within thirty minutes, the trending topic vanished from werewolf social media platforms. My legal team worked with supernatural efficiency.
Moonstone Legal Partners released a lawyer’s letter announcing our intention to sue Cassandra Evans for defamation and spreading false claims about mate bonds.
But the real shock came when Ethan Grey posted on his Howlr account. His statement was simple and
devastating.
“Miss Cassandra Evans and I are not in a relationship, and Attorney Winters is not interfering with any mate bond.”
The werewolf internet exploded with speculation and disbelief. The narrative had completely flipped.
Comments flooded Ethan’s post within minutes.

“Wait, what?”
“So Cassandra was lying?”
“Is SHE the actual bond–breaker?”
“Attorney Winters handled this perfectly!”
“Cassandra just destroyed her own career!”
My phone buzzed with messages from supporters and colleagues. The legal community was rallying behind
The swift reversal felt satisfying, but I knew this was far from over. Cassandra had made a dangerous enemy
today.
(Connor’s POV)
Henry Morris burst into my office with urgent news. His usually composed demeanor showed cracks of
concern.
“Alpha Connor, there’s been a social media attack on Miss Olivia,” he reported breathlessly.
My ice–blue eyes flashed with Alpha authority. My wolf demanded immediate action to protect my intended
mate.
“Explain,” I commanded, my voice deadly calm.
Henry quickly briefed me on Cassandra’s livestream and the harassment campaign against Olivia. Each detail made my fury burn hotter.
How dare anyone target my fiancée? The audacity was beyond comprehension.
“Miss Olivia has already handled the legal response,” Henry continued. “But the damage to her reputation…”
I stood abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. My wolf was ready for war.
“Contact the streaming platform administration immediately,” I ordered with deadly calm. “Ban Cassandra Evans‘ account permanently!”
Henry nodded and reached for his phone. “Right away, Alpha.”
“And Henry,” I added, my voice dropping to a dangerous whisper, “Make sure every platform knows that attacking Olivia Winters means declaring war on the Rivers pack.”
My wolf’s protective instincts were in full control now. No one threatened what belonged to me and lived to tell about it.
