Chapter 57: Confrontation at the Consortium

(Elena’s POV)

Jennifer Walsh didn’t care and shouted, “I just said you wanted to hook up with Alpha Marcus, so what? Miss Rivers is right, there are always she–wolves like you who shamelessly stick themselves on-”

Before she could finish her words, I retaliated with a slap across her face. The sound echoed through the Grand Atrium like a gunshot.

Jennifer Walsh stumbled backward, her hand flying to her reddened cheek. Other Blackwood Consortium employees were attracted by the commotion, gathering around us in a growing circle.

Jennifer Walsh, initially stunned, became enraged. Her eyes blazed with fury as she attempted to strike back

at me.

I blocked her swing and delivered another slap, this one harder than the first. Jennifer Walsh reeled from the impact, nearly losing her balance.

“You b***h!” Jennifer Walsh screamed, her face red–eyed with rage. “Security! Security!”

When the security guards arrived, Jennifer Walsh pointed at me accusingly. “This woman is causing trouble and assaulting me! Take her to the Territorial Enforcement Station immediately!”

I

mained calm despite the chaos around me. 1 only defended myself after she initiated the conflict with baseless insults and yellow rumors.

My voice carried clearly through the atrium. “She attacked me verbally simply because I’m a she–wolf seeking to meet with Marcus Blackwood.”

I looked around at the gathered employees, my gaze steady. “I have to question if this is the Blackwood Consortium’s standard. Even a fly would be insulted here.”

The female onlookers exchanged complex glances. Some nodded in agreement while others looked uncomfortable.

“If this is how the Blackwood Consortium treats visitors, then your reputation speaks for itself, I continued. Jennifer Walsh’s confidence wavered slightly, but she quickly recovered. “You’re just making excuses! You don’t even know Alpha Marcus!”

I pulled out my phone with deliberate calm. Then I’ll call Marcus Blackwood myself.”

The front desk staff’s eyes widened in surprise. They wandered if I genuinely knew Marcus Blackwood after all.

Jennifer Walsh, however, remained confident. She believed I was bluffing since she had never seen me before.

“Go ahead and call,” she sneered. “Let’s see if Alpha Marcus even knows who you are.”

I dialed Marcus’s number, but the call went unanswered. The phone rang endlessly before going to voicemail.

I

I tried again, but this time I was met with busy signals. My face darkened as I realized Marcus was playing a deliberate game with me.

Jennifer Walsh’s mocking laughter filled the air. “See? You don’t know Alpha Marcus at all! You’re just another. delusional she wolf!”

She turned to the security guards triumphantly. “Take her away! She’s clearly lying about everything!”

I decided to leave rather than continue this humiliating charade. Marcus had made his point clear.

“Stop herl” Jennifer Walsh instructed the security guards as I moved toward the exit.

She grabbed my arm roughly, her nails digging into my skin. “You think you can just slap me and walk away?”

Her grip tightened as she prepared to retaliate for the slaps fd given her.

Just then, Amber Stone appeared, her hand shooting out to stop Jennifer Walsh’s raised arm. “That’s

enough,”

Amber Stone’s voice carried absolute authority. Jennifer Walsh’s face went pale as she recognized Marcos’s

trusted assistant.

“Elena,” Amber Stone said, turning to me with professional courtesy. “Alpha Marcus has just returned and asked me to bring you to his office.”

Jennifer Walsh’s mouth fell open in shock. Her confident expression crumbled as she realized I indeed knew

Marcus Blackwood.

The gathered employees began whispering among themselves, their eyes shifting between Jennifer Walsh and me with new understanding.

Amber Stone led me toward the executive elevators, leaving Jennifer Walsh standing frozen in the Grand

Atrium.

I

We rode the elevator in silence to the top floor. Amber Stone’s expression remained neutral, but I could sense her disapproval of the scene downstairs.

“Alpha Marcus is waiting in his Command Chamber,” she said as we reached the executive floor.

She led me down the hallway to Marcus’s office. After I entered, Amber Stone closed the door and left us

alone.

Marcus sat on the leather sofa, dressed casually in a white shirt and dark trousers. He looked up from the documents in his hands.

“Do you have business with me?” he asked, his tone deliberately indifferent.

I knew he was doing this on purpose. “Was all of that really necessary?”

**Marcus avoided my question entirely. “Are you here to negotiate with me?”

His golden eyes held a calculating gleam that made my skin crawl.

“What do you want?” I pressed, my patience wearing thin.

Marcus set down his documents and leaned back against the sofa. “I told you what I wanted last night”

The memory of his hands on my body flashed through my mind. I felt my face flush with anger and humiliation.

“Isn’t Sophia Rivers enough for you?” I snapped.

Chapter 57 Confrontation.

Marcus’s expression darkened like a storm cloud. His jaw tightened as he stood up from the sofa.

“If you refuse to comply, then leave,” he said coldly.

The silence stretched between us like a taut wire. I could feel the weight of his Alpha authority pressing down

on me.

After a long moment, I walked toward him. My legs felt heavy as lead, but I forced myself to move.

I sat on his lap, my hands trembling as I began to undress him. Each button felt like a small defeat.

I stopped at his belt buckle, my fingers frozen. The cold metal seemed to burn my skin.

“Why did you stop?” Marcus asked, his voice husky.

I took a deep breath and reached for the buckle again. But Marcus caught my wrists, pulling me closer.

He kissed me roughly, his lips demanding and possessive. I tried to resist, pushing against his chest.

In a moment of desperation, I bit down hard on his lower lip. The taste of blood filled my mouth.

Marcus released me immediately, his expression turning dark and dangerous.

“I’m not mentally prepared,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Marcus forced me to look at him, his grip firm on my chin. “Is it that hard to be like before?”

The question cut deep into my heart. “Do you love me, Marcus?”

He avoided my gaze, his silence speaking volumes. “I could let you be my true Luna if you listened to me.”

I understood then. This was all about control and power, never about love.

“Would you stop threatening my brother David if I listened to you?” I asked desperately.

Marcus didn’t answer. His silence was answer enough.

I continued to undress him with mechanical movements, my heart dying a little more with each passing

second.

“Leave,” Marcus said suddenly, his voice flat.

I stood up slowly, my legs unsteady. Before I reached the door, I turned back one last time.

“Please spare my family.” I whispered.

Marcus didn’t respond. He simply stared out the window, his back turned to me.
