**Chapter 89**
**Aysel’s POV**
Laughter erupted from my lips, a spontaneous reaction to the audacity of the girl standing before me. Her chin was lifted high, and an air of arrogance surrounded her like a thick perfume, sharp and suffocating. “Leave Magnus,” she commanded, her tone dripping with entitlement.
Of all the responses I had anticipated following the chaotic aftermath of the Moonbirth banquet, this was the last one I would have ever imagined. I had braced myself for a visit from one of the elders from the Sanchez clan of the Shadowbane Pack—perhaps they would come to negotiate my position or, conversely, to apply pressure for my disappearance.
But never, in any realm ruled by moonlight or wolves, did I foresee that the first person to unravel would be a girl who claimed to be Magnus’s childhood betrothed.
Earlier that morning, I had taken Daron out for a run, feeling the wind whip through my hair as we raced through the trees. Upon my return, I was informed by the wardens that someone had come looking for me. Whoever managed to find this secluded place so quickly clearly had connections.
“Bring her in,” I instructed, a mix of curiosity and caution bubbling within me.
The moment she stepped into the room, it was as if a storm had arrived—she unleashed a torrent of entitlement that threatened to drown us both.
Agnes crossed her arms defiantly, her posture radiating superiority. “You actually believe Magnus would choose you as his mate? Please. I’ve been abroad for just a little while, and somehow you’ve managed to sneak in through the cracks.”
Her gaze flicked to Daron, who was sitting loyally by my side. I could see the green-eyed monster of jealousy igniting in her expression. “Not just anyone gets to touch Daron! It’s utterly rude of you to take someone else’s beast-hound out for a walk—”
She stomped forward, her hand reaching out as if she could simply snatch him away from me.
But she never got the chance.
Daron’s lips curled back in a menacing snarl. A low growl rumbled from deep within his chest, and before I could even utter a warning, he lunged at her.
His teeth grazed her leg, and she stumbled back, collapsing onto the floor, clutching the small wound on her calf. Her face twisted in shock and betrayal, a mixture of disbelief and pain.
Now, there she sat on the ground, trembling, tears streaming down her cheeks. When she looked up at me—calmly checking Daron’s jaws for any debris—her expression morphed into one of utter humiliation, as if I had just publicly insulted her in the grandest manner.
“Do you even know who I am?” she choked out, her voice thick with emotion. “You trained Daron; you’ll see—”
I lifted my phone, shaking it lazily in the air. “No idea who you are. But I have a mouth, and I can ask around.”
“Magnus will avenge me!” she spat, her voice filled with venom.
In that moment, she froze, her eyes widening as she caught sight of the call screen on my phone.
“Y-You—who did you call?”
I didn’t keep her waiting long for an answer. With one hand resting on my hip, my voice steady and sharp, I spoke clearly into the phone: “Magnus Sanchez. Your so-called childhood fiancée is in my villa. If you don’t sort this out in five minutes, I’ll handle it myself.”
Agnes fell silent, shock washing over her, the tears momentarily halted in their tracks.
Was I out of my mind? Was this reckless?
But then, his voice came through the speaker—familiar, low, and edged with an unexpected amusement.
“I don’t have a childhood fiancée, Miss Vale. Please don’t let anyone slander my name like that.”
I glanced at the woman crumpled on my floor, her face a portrait of confusion and disbelief. “Well, she insists that you are. She also mentioned something about you avenging her.”
Magnus sighed on the other end, and I could almost visualize him stepping away from a war council meeting, rubbing the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “Who is it?”
“She said her name is Agnes.”
A pause lingered, heavy and thick.
“Agnes who?”
Silence enveloped both the phone and the room, a palpable tension thickening the air. I locked eyes with Agnes, and in that moment, it was clear—Daron didn’t recognize her, and Magnus didn’t remember her either.
Her morning had officially spiraled into chaos.
With a defeated cry, she crumpled to the floor, face down, bursting into loud, mortified sobs.
But her humiliation was far from over.
Just two minutes later, a team of Shadowbane enforcers appeared as if summoned by some unseen force. They lifted her—dirt, tears, and all—and dragged her out of my villa with an unsettling efficiency that sent shivers down my spine.
I was still trying to process the whirlwind of events when Magnus chuckled through the phone, his amusement evident. “Five minutes. Looks like my residency rights are safe for now.”
“… Fine,” I muttered, a reluctant smile creeping onto my face. “Impressive move.”
“You didn’t even ask what happened. Aren’t you worried you might be siding with the wrong person? What if I bullied her?”
“Right or wrong doesn’t matter,” he replied flatly. “If she caused you trouble, she’s the one at fault.”
I nearly snorted at his unwavering confidence. It was unfair, irrational, and utterly Alpha.
And somehow…
“Magnus… what am I supposed to do? Being the one someone favors actually feels kind of nice.”
He laughed softly on the other end, the sound warm and inviting. “Well, the future Luna of Shadowbane should enjoy a few privileges.”
Yet, beneath his humor, a shadow flickered through his voice—cold and lethal. “That woman didn’t appear here by chance. I’ll find out why. And you did well to call me directly. If anyone comes for you again, and you don’t want to deal with them… throw them out. Don’t let anyone push you around, Aysel. This is your home. Your territory. Be ruthless. Arrogant. Fierce. Protective.”
He was nothing like the terrifying warlord the rumors had painted—a monster capable of breaking an entire pack with a single command.
Conclusion
As the dust settled and the echoes of Agnes’s humiliation faded into the distance, I felt an unexpected sense of empowerment wash over me. The encounter had been chaotic, but it had also unveiled a new layer of my own strength. Magnus’s voice, filled with warmth yet edged with authority, resonated in my mind, reminding me of the weight I carried as a member of the Shadowbane Pack. In that moment, I realized that my place here was not just as an outsider trying to fit in, but as a fierce protector of my territory and those I loved. I had stood my ground against a girl who thought she could intimidate me, and in doing so, I had carved out a space for myself that was undeniably mine.
Looking ahead, I felt a shift within me—a budding confidence that I had long yearned for. Magnus’s words ignited a fire in my heart, urging me to embrace my role and the privileges that came with it. No longer would I be a passive participant in my own life; I would be fierce, unapologetic, and ready to defend my place in this world. The laughter that had erupted from my lips earlier now felt like the beginning of a new chapter, one where I would no longer shy away from challenges or allow anyone to undermine my worth. With Magnus by my side, I was ready to face whatever lay ahead, knowing that I was not just a girl in a villa, but a rising force in a realm ruled by wolves and moonlight.
