Selena’s eyebrows furrowed.One of the operatives noticed the Luna in their midst.“Selena!A-Alpha’s Mate!”she stammered,casting a warning glance at her colleagues.
The staff instantly hushed their whispers and bowed respectfully to Selena.“Good evening,Luna.”
Selena offered a strained smile and calmly commanded,“The shift has ended.You may stand down.”
Then,she resumed her measured pace toward the lift.Her back was rigid,and her movements were cold and deliberate.The heat of tears pooled at the edges of her vision.

‘Did she come here to formally claim his dominance?’
‘The bond has not yet been severed.Has he forgotten that his political Mate works in this very tower?How could the Alpha show such disrespect to the Volkov name?’
The lower ranks continued their hushed chatter,but they had already shifted the topic.
