The Betrayed Princess Rising

Chapter 148

Ezra’s POV

It had been centuries since Ragnar had felt something like this.

But the moment we saw that man staring at my Luna…..

Everything changed.

The way his eyes lingered on her had been impossible to hide. The interest in them had been too obvious. Ragnar had felt it immediately.

And now the feeling remained inside me–dark, coiled tight in my chest like a serpent that refused to loosen its grip.

Even after we arrived at the shopping center, the irritation still simmered beneath my skin.

Lylah had dragged me into one of the boutiques, its glass walls glittering under soft lights. She was currently wandering between display tables, surrounded by attentive staff as she tried to decide on a gift. for my grandfather.

I had told her she could choose anything. The old wolf would adore whatever she picked.

But Lylah still looked adorably conflicted.

Meanwhile, I sat on a couch nearby, watching her.

The restless fury inside me had yet to fade.

“Alpha.”

Damon approached quietly and stopped beside me.

“You still look rather displeased,” he said carefully. “Should I have the staff clear the boutique of other visitors? It might make things more comfortable for you and Luna while she shops.”

“There’s no need,” I replied. “She said she enjoys this lively atmosphere.” My gaze remained on Lylah as I asked him. “What did you find out?”

Damon understood immediately.

I had ordered him to look into the two wolves who had approached Lylah earlier.

“Gwyn and Gary of the Whitepine Pack, Alpha,” Damon said, lowering his voice as he sat beside me. “They’re from a Gamma rank. The sister is a junior healer at Lunar Grace and the brother owns a food business.” His expression remained neutral as he continued. “Their family is fairly established in their Pack. But Gary came to Lunaris recently to expand his business here.”

“Block it.”

Damon blinked. “Alpha?”

“Whatever plans he has to grow his business here–alliances, investments, all of it–shut them down.”

My voice remained calm.

But the command left no room for doubt.

“He’ll eventually realize Lunaris offers him no opportunities,” I continued. “And he’ll return to Whitepine.”

Damon stared at me for a moment before nodding.

“As you command, Alpha. I’ll handle it.”

I leaned back against the couch, satisfied.

The glass of wine in my hand tilted slightly as I brought it to my lips, taking a slow sip.
