Chapter 129: 1 Hit Someone
(Aria’s POV)
“This…” Dominic couldn’t help but frown and ponder, his silver–gray eyes reflecting consideration.
Seeing that Dominic was about to give in to Aunt Sophia’s pleading, I immediately became extremely nervous. My heart pounded in my throat with tension, afraid that he would agree to hire Sadie.
But Aunt Sophia was standing right beside me, and I couldn’t give obvious hints without raising suspicion. Sa
I could only stare at Dominic intently, my wolf whimpering anxiously within me.
Dominic glanced at me, his Alpha senses picking up on my distress. As our eyes met, I quickly winked at him with desperate urgency.
Then, Dominic’s lips curved into the faintest smile, which vanished almost instantly.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” he said firmly.
Aunt Sophia frowned deeply, her face showing genuine anxiety. Her wolf’s scent betrayed her mounting
distress as reality sank in.
She had originally thought Sadie’s job placement was guaranteed. That certainty was why she had decided to stay permanently in the Northern Territory.
Now that Sadie’s career plan had fallen through completely, how could she not be anxious?
Aunt Sophia quickly tried a different approach, her voice taking on a desperate edge.
“How about this, Alpha Dominic? You have extensive connections throughout the Northern Territory. Couldn’t you help Sadie find employment somewhere else?”
Her hands clasped together pleadingly.
Dominic nodded graciously, his powerful Alpha presence radiating calm authority.
“That’s certainly within the realm of possibility.”
Aunt Sophia’s worried expression immediately transformed into pure joy.
“Thank you so much, Alpha Dominic! Really, we’re causing you such trouble…”
However, before Aunt Sophia could finish her gratitude, Dominic interjected smoothly.
His smile was warm but carried deeper meaning. “No need to thank me specifically. I’m doing this entirely for
Aria’s sake.”
His silver–gray eyes settled on me with unmistakable affection.
“If you want to thank someone, thank her instead.”
Aunt Sophia offered an awkward smile, clearly caught off guard. She quickly recovered her composure.
“Of course, I’ll thank both of you. Well, you two continue your conversation. I should check if there’s else left to pack…”

With that retreat, Aunt Sophia turned and busled herself with organizing the remaining belongings.
Dominic leaned closer to me, his voice dropping to a magnetic whisper. His distinctive cedar scent made my wolf stir restlessly beneath my skin.
“In such a hurry to move out? Is this all to avoid me?” he asked with knowing amusement.
I quickly glanced around, relieved to see that Aunt Sophia and Olivia were absorbed in their packing activities. No one was paying attention to our conversation.
“What? Did I guess correctly?” Dominic chuckled, his Alpha amusement evident.
“No, of course not…” I protested weakly.
Perhaps because Dominic was speaking so close, the subtle scent of cedar kept wafting into my sensitive wolf nose. The proximity made me feel increasingly uncomfortable.
So I instinctively took a small step backward.
“It’s because something urgent came up on my end, and I absolutely have to move out immediately.”
Dominic’s perceptive gaze swept around the chaotic apartment.
“Your aunt’s family situation?” he inquired with Alpha insight.
I paused for a moment before nodding.
“Yes, exactly.”–
“That’s good. Cutting ties quickly is always the most effective approach,” Dominic observed approvingly.
I couldn’t help but admire his sharp intellect. He had immediately understood my intentions with his superior Alpha insight.
He then shifted topics abruptly. “By the way, have you checked today’s territorial gossip networks yet?”
I shook my head with growing curiosity. “No, what’s happened now?”
Suddenly, realization struck me. I quickly pulled out my mobile phone.
“Is this about Claire Watson’s scandal?” I asked breathlessly.
As I spoke, I had already opened the main werewolf social media application. The moment I logged in, both unread messages and new followers displayed the maximum 999+.
The top trending topic blazed across my screen: #ClaireWatson# (EXPLOSIVE).
Just a single name had caused such massive viral attention? I quickly clicked on the trending topic.
The first post was by a major werewolf territory influencer: #What scandal could actually explode like this magnitude?#
Underneath, there was a picture expressing complete confusion.
The comments below varied wildly, but in summary, everyone seemed confused about the details. Yet they all appeared to have some intuitive hunch about the scandal’s nature.
“What exactly is going on?” I looked up at Dominic with bewilderment.
Dominic curled his lips into a wickedly satisfied smile, his Alpha pleasure evident.
