Chapter 150: Broken Bonds and Rising Storms
(Cassandra’s POV)
My phone buzzed incessantly with notifications from Howlr. The sound made my stomach churn with dread.
Hundreds of my fans were flooding Ethan Grey’s social media accounts. Some begged him desperately to help me. Others cursed him viciously for abandoning their beloved idol.
The messages were brutal and relentless. My reputation within werewolf society was crumbling faster than I
could comprehend.
“Please help Cassandra! She doesn’t deserve this!”
“You bastard! How could you abandon her when she needs you most!”
“Ethan Grey, you’re a coward for letting them destroy her!”
Each notification felt like a knife twisting in my chest. My carefully constructed image was being torn apart
piece by piece.
The public outcry within werewolf society was deafening. Pack members who had once admired me now
viewed me with disgust and contempt.
I scrolled through the endless stream of hatred directed at me. My hands trembled as I read comment after
comment condemning my actions.
The evidence against me was overwhelming. Those chat records with Ethan. The videos of my fanatical supporters attacking Olivia Winters.
Everything I had worked for was being destroyed in real time. My wolf whimpered with shame and terror.
I tried calling Ethan repeatedly. Each call went straight to voicemail. He was deliberately avoiding me.
“Pick up, pick up!” I screamed at my phone. But the silence on the other end was deafening.
Desperation drove me to Shadowmere Holdings. I had to see Ethan face to face. He couldn’t ignore me
forever.
The receptionist at the front desk looked at me with barely concealed disgust. Her expression made my skin
crawl with humiliation.
“I’m here to see Ethan Grey,” I announced, trying to maintain some dignity.
“Mr. Grey is not available,” she replied coldly. “He’s given strict instructions not to be disturbed.”
My face flushed with anger and embarrassment. “I’m his girlfriend! He’ll see me!”
The receptionist’s eyes narrowed with disdain. “I’m sorry, but Mr. Harrison Blackwood has specifically instructed us to deny you access.
Harrison Blackwood. Ethan’s father had personally banned me from the building. The humiliation was unbearable.
You don’t understand,” I insisted desperately. “Ethan and I have a relationship. He needs to know I’m here.

“Miss Evans, I’m going to have to ask you to leave,” the receptionist said firmly. “Security will escort you out if
necessary.”
My status as Ethan’s lover meant nothing now. I had no influence within the Grey pack hierarchy anymore.
I stumbled out of the building, my wolf howling with despair. Even Ethan’s own family was turning against
My phone rang suddenly. Sophie Parker’s name appeared on the screen. I answered with shaking hands.
“Cassandra, darling, how are you holding up?” Sophie’s voice dripped with false concern.
“I’m fine,” I lied, my voice cracking with emotion.
“Have you seen Ethan’s public confession letter on Howlr?” Sophie asked sweetly.
My blood ran cold. “What confession letter? I haven’t had time for social media.”
“Oh honey, you absolutely must have a look,” Sophie purred. “It’s quite… illuminating.”
The malicious satisfaction in her voice made my stomach drop. Sophie was enjoying my downfall.
“I have to go,” I whispered, ending the call abruptly.
My hands shook as I opened Howlr. Ethan’s name was trending at the top of the platform.
The post was titled: “A Public Apology and Confession – Ethan Grey”
I clicked on it with trembling fingers. Each word felt like a physical blow to my chest.
“To the werewolf community and especially to Olivia Winters,” the post began.
“I must publicly acknowledge my grave mistakes and the pain I have caused. The leaked messages showing Cassandra Evans‘ interference in my relationship with Olivia are completely authentic.”
My vision blurred with tears. He was throwing me under the bus to save himself.
“I deeply regret allowing myself to be manipulated and for betraying the trust of someone I claimed to love. Olivia Winters deserves far better than the treatment she received from me.”
The post continued with increasingly devastating admissions. Ethan confessed to every accusation against
him.
“I take full responsibility for my actions and the harm caused by my association with Miss Evans. I publicly apologize to Olivia and beg for her forgiveness, though I know I don’t deserve it.”
Ten minutes later, I collapsed onto my apartment floor. My legs gave out completely as the full impact hit
Ethan had not only confirmed every piece of evidence against me. He had also publicly humiliated me in front of the entire werewolf community.
Sophie had called specifically to witness my destruction. She wanted to hear my reaction to this final betrayal.
My wolf retreated deep within my consciousness, unable to bear the shame. I was completely alone now.
(Connor’s POV)
At Shadow Den, I sat behind my desk with a deep, contemplative gaze. My expression remained completely

neutral as I processed the latest intelligence reports.

Dominic Reeves entered the conference chamber with urgent news. His face was grim with the weight of
what he had discovered.
“Alpha Connor, we’ve located Grace Winters,” he reported formally.
My ice–blue eyes sharpened with interest. “Where?”
“She’s being held at a military base in Shadowmere City,” Dominic continued. “Our intelligence indicates that the local law enforcement has been colluding with Frederick Warner for approximately two years.”
I leaned back in my chair, my expression darkening with cold fury. The corruption ran deeper than I had
anticipated.
“I didn’t expect them to rescue anyone,” I said, my voice carrying dangerous undertones.
The Shadowmere authorities were completely compromised. They would never act against Frederick’s interests willingly.
“What’s our next move?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.
“The extraction operation will commence tonight,” Dominic informed me. “Our team is already in position around the facility.”
I nodded approvingly. My pack would handle what the corrupt officials refused to do.
“Ensure minimal casualties among the legitimate military personnel,” I instructed. “Our target is Frederick’s operatives and the child.”
“Understood, Alpha,” Dominic replied with a respectful bow.
The rescue mission would be dangerous. But Grace Winters was family to Olivia. That made her worth any
risk.
(Olivia’s POV)
Early morning drizzle painted my apartment windows with tiny droplets. The gray sky matched my troubled mood perfectly.
I had been struggling with sleep recently. The constant threats and worry about Grace kept me awake most nights.
