Chapter 243: Moonlit Confessions

(Olivia’s POV)

The sea breeze carried the scent of salt and moonlight as Miranda and I leaned against the

yacht’s polished railing. The Moonlit Voyager cut through the dark waters with elegant grace, leaving a trail of phosphorescent foam in its wake.

Miranda raised her crystal wine glass, the moonberry wine catching the silver light. “To new

beginnings,” she said softly.

I lifted my own glass, and the crystal sang as they touched. The clear note mingled with the

rhythmic sound of waves against the hull.

The ocean breeze tousled our hair as we stood in comfortable silence. Miranda took a sip of

her wine, her cheeks already flushed from the alcohol.

She turned to me with serious eyes. “Olivia, I need to apologize for what happened this

afternoon.”

I waited, sensing the weight of her words.

“Summer marked that card without my knowledge,” Miranda continued, her voice heavy with

regret. “I had no idea she was planning to manipulate the game like that.”

Her hand found my shoulder, squeezing gently. “I would never deliberately put you in such an

uncomfortable position. You have to believe me.”

I took a sip of my wine, the moonberry flavor warming my throat. “I’ll be honest, Miranda. For

a moment, I did wonder if you were involved.”

Her face fell slightly.

“But your reaction during the game convinced me otherwise,” I added quickly. “The shock and anger in your eyes were genuine. I believe you.”

Relief flooded Miranda’s features. She raised her glass again, her smile radiant under the

moonlight.

“Then let me toast to you and Connor,” she said with heartfelt sincerity. “May your mate bond

bring you lasting happiness.”

“Thank you,” I replied, touched by her genuine wish.

Curiosity got the better of me. “Miranda, can I ask you something?”

She nodded.

“What changed your mind? When we first arrived, you separated Connor and me into different rooms. But then suddenly, you seemed to have a complete change of heart.”

Miranda’s smile turned wry. She turned to face the moonlit sea, her profile etched against the

starry sky.

“I was acting out of jealousy,” she admitted with painful honesty. “I separated you because I still harbored feelings for Connor.”

The wind whipped her dark hair around her face as she continued.

“But the incident with Brandon Cole opened my eyes. I saw how much Connor truly cared for you.”

I frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”

“After Brandon humiliated you at that boutique, Connor didn’t just let it slide,” Miranda explained. “He systematically destroyed Brandon’s life through pack politics and business

connections.”

My eyes widened in surprise. I hadn’t known about Connor’s ruthless retaliation.

“Brandon’s family disowned him. His business partnerships crumbled. His social standing evaporated overnight,” Miranda continued. “Connor made his existence a living hell, all because he dared to disrespect you.”

A chill ran down my spine. I’d never seen this merciless side of

my mate.

Miranda laughed softly, but there was no humor in it. “During the card game this afternoon, I remembered all the times other she–wolves tried to get Connor’s attention.”

“How did he usually respond?” I asked, genuinely curious.

“With complete indifference,” Miranda replied. “When females would openly express interest or request intimate contact, Connor would give them such a murderous Alpha glare that they’d quickly choose someone else instead.”

She turned back to me, her eyes bright with unshed tears.

“But with you, Olivia, he looked at you like you hung the moon and stars. The devotion in his eyes when he kissed you in front of everyone… I realized I never had a chance.”

Her voice grew soft, tinged with heartbreak. “I may have been too blind to see it before, but the mate bond between you and Connor is something I could never compete with.”

She gazed out at the endless ocean. “Some connections are destined by the Moon Goddess herself. I finally understand that.”

When I returned to our luxurious suite aboard the yacht, warm light spilled from the

floor–to–ceiling windows. Connor stood with his back to me, speaking quietly into his phone

while gazing out at the moonlit ocean.

I approached silently, my bare feet making no sound on the plush carpet. Reaching out from

behind, I wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my face against his strong back.

His familiar scent enveloped me – pine, leather, and something uniquely Alpha that made my

wolf purr with contentment.

Connor’s body stiffened slightly at the unexpected contact, but his wolf immediately

recognized my touch. He quickly ended his call.

“That’s it, I’m hanging up,” he said curtly to whoever was on the other end.

He turned in my arms, pulling me against his chest. “You’re back,” he murmured, his voice

warm with affection.

“Hmm,” I hummed softly, melting into his embrace.

Leaning against his solid chest, I whispered, “Connor, you’re so good to me.”

“Just figured that out?” he replied, his voice carrying that magnetic Alpha tone that made my

knees weak.

“Will you always be this good to me?” I asked, needing to hear his promise,

“Always,” he said without hesitation, his arms tightening around me.

I raised my head from his arms, my amber eyes meeting his ice–blue gaze. The love and trust I saw there moved him deeply.

Connor lowered his head, capturing my lips in a deep, passionate kiss that stole my breath

away.

Outside the window, stars reflected on the dark ocean waters like scattered diamonds. The

glass partition separated us from the sound of the waves, creating our own private

sanctuary.

Moonlight streamed through the glass like liquid silver, bathing us in its ethereal glow. Connor lifted me against the cool window, my palms pressed to the smooth surface as I

gazed out at the night seascape.

Our mating was intense and primal, my soft gasps mixing with Connor’s low growls as we moved together in perfect rhythm. Lost in our bond beneath the Moon Goddess’s watchful gaze, we claimed each other completely.

After spending two blissful days at sea, I quickly threw myself back into work at Moonstone Legal Partners. The familiar routine of reviewing supernatural law case files helped ground

me after the emotional intensity of the yacht trip.

One morning, after finishing a particularly complex pack dispute case, I prepared myself a cup of healing herb tea. The aromatic steam rose from the delicate porcelain cup as I settled

at my desk.

A knock interrupted my peaceful moment. Adrian Sinclair entered my office, his usual confident demeanor replaced by something more hesitant.

“Olivia, are you busy?” he asked.

I looked up from my files, immediately noticing the change in his bearing. Something was

different about him today.

“What’s the matter?” I asked, setting down my tea.

Adrian lowered his eyes, his hands fidgeting with the legal documents he carried. “I have something I want to tell you.”

I caught a hint of loss in his expression, a vulnerability I’d never seen before. “Is it about a

case?”
