Chapter 378
Third Person’s POV
Trista slapped Madison.
That slap didn’t just carry a sting; it hit a major nerve cluster with surgical precision.
Finished
For a split second, a flicker of the cold, cutting energy unique to high–tier Healers leaked from Trista’s fingertips–a power that could literally dissect a soul. It tore right through Madison’s defenses, snapping her arrogant face to the side.
Madison clutched her throbbing cheek. She was completely dazed by a pain so deep it actually messed with her wolf’s healing factor.
Trista stared her down, her usually warm eyes now frozen over. “Try me again, and I won’t just be bruising your ego–I’ll be going for the glands in your neck. You owe me a new phone p>
With that, she dialed back the razor–sharp aura she’d released and walked toward the clinic without looking back.
She had let Samantha slide because it helped her get the divorce papers signed, but Madison? Madison actually thought she was some defenseless stray anyone could take a bite out of.
Madison watched her walk away, a guttural snarl vibrating in her throat. Her curses tasted like blood. “You bitch… I’ll make sure your soul howls in the wasteland for this p>
That evening, Trista didn’t get a check from Madison, but she did get a blacked–out sedan from the Bluestar Pack.
The car radiated “stay away” energy.
An omega respectfully opened the door and bowed. “Miss Holmes, Luna Priscilla is requesting your presence at the packhouse p>
Trista glanced at the door, which bore the Bluestar crest and a faint shimmer of defensive runes. Without a second thought, she stepped inside.
An hour later, the car crossed into Bluestar territory,
As she entered the main hall, a wall of pungent pheromones hit her.
Priscilla and the Bluestar Alpha were both there. But what really shocked Trista was the other scent in the room–a dominant, suffocating pine fragrance that made her skin crawl.Cassian was there.
The moment she appeared, Cassian’s eyes locked onto her.
He was in front of her almost instantly, moved by a frantic, erratic energy. His pheromones were bordering on berserk as he scanned her like a searchlight. “Did that idiot hurt you? ”
In front of the Blue Star crowd, Trista fought back the physical throb triggered by the remnants of their old bond. She kept her distance, cool and professional.

She subtly dodged Cassian’s hand as he tried to check her neck. “I’m fine, Alpha Cassian,” she said, her voice like ice. “Please, back off p>
Madison stood frozen in the center of the room, watching Cassian’s obsessive, borderline–violent protectiveness. She was stunned.
The rumor mill said Cassian didn’t give a damn about this woman anymore – so why, now that they were divorced, was he acting like a mad lion defending his turf?
Priscilla saw Trista and a flicker of grandmotherly warmth softened her eyes.
She beckoned her over. “Trista, come here. Every word that brat said over the phone, I heard it. As long as I’m still breathing, no one on this land touches a hair on your head p>
Alpha Ferris, feeling Priscilla’s fury, whirled on his daughter. A roar vibrated in his chest. “Get over here and get on your knees! Beg Dr. Holmes for forgiveness p>
Madison finally realized she had kicked a steel wall.
She ground her teeth, her bones creaking under the weight of the Alphas in the room. She lowered her head in total humiliation. “I’m sorry, Dr. Holmes… I apologize p>
“I don’t accept.” Trista’s refusal was flat. She didn’t even look up.
A forced apology just smelled like garbage to her.
Seeing Trista refuse to give an inch even on Blue Star turf, Madison’s bratty side flared up. She let out a roar. “I already bowed to you! What else do you want? To rip my wolf out p>
She lunged forward to shove Trista, her hand starting to shift into a claw.
“Madison p>
Cassian stepped forward. In that instant, his Alpha aura exploded like a physical hammer, slamming into Madison’s spine. The lethal intent in his eyes turned the air to ice.
Madison’s blood ran cold. Her claw froze in mid–air.
Paralyzed by pure, biological terror, her legs gave out and she slammed into the floor.
Priscilla slammed her silver cane against the ground with a deafening thud.
She pointed at her son, Alpha Ferris. “As long as I’m still alive, this thing–this creature with zero wolf dignity– is erased from the Bluestar lineage. Not one word of her stays p>
Alpha Ferris took the hint immediately. “She’s out. I’m exiling her from Bluestar right now p>
Madison looked around, her mind going blank. She shrieked, “Grandma! Dad! I’m your own blood! How can you throw me out for an outsider?! ”
