LOGINPeyton grew more and more desperate."I really think of the Alpha King as my own father! I respect and admire him. I really didn't mean to trick anyone…"I looked at her with disgust. "You've told lies for so long that you've even convinced yourself."Uncle Nigel showed no mercy, either. "If Eunice hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were using my name as my daughter while doing all kinds of terrible things. I've always felt guilty toward children like you. If I hadn't been too late back then, you might still have a happy family of your own. All these years, taking care of you was my way of atoning for that guilt."He paused, then his tone hardened."But I never imagined that while giving you a comfortable life, I neglected your moral upbringing. Now, you even bullied my niece. What you've done is really disappointing. I hope you'll think about your mistakes at the wastelands."Peyton collapsed to the ground, her body twitching as she cried uncontrollably."Alpha King, I
The entire venue instantly fell silent. Except for me, everyone present dropped to their knees toward the Alpha King, not daring to lift their heads.Peyton was especially stunned. I couldn't see her expression, but judging from how violently her body was shaking, I could guess well enough.Uncle Nigel ignored the crowd and walked straight up to me, looking me over carefully."Eunice, are you hurt? If anything happened to you, your dad's going to kill me."Just moments ago, I had been standing alone against everyone. Now, the grievance I had been holding back finally broke loose, and my tears poured out uncontrollably.Uncle Nigel immediately understood what had happened. His expression turned icy."Who bullied my niece?"His cold voice echoed across the airfield. Those who had questioned me, mocked me, and even insulted me earlier didn't dare make a sound now. They wished they could bury their heads in the ground."Pull up the surveillance footage. It seems you Alphas have g
I looked at Peyton and said, "You keep saying you're Uncle Nigel's daughter, but he doesn't even have a partner. How would he have a daughter out of nowhere?"The moment I said that, the entire room exploded."Exactly! If the Alpha King really had a child, how could none of us know about it?""Maybe she's an illegitimate child. I've heard the Alpha King's private life is pretty messy. I wouldn't be surprised if he really had children out of wedlock.""Maybe the mother isn't presentable enough. Otherwise, why would he refuse to acknowledge her?"Peyton's face turned deathly pale as she scrambled to defend herself."I-I'm not an illegitimate child! I am my father's daughter. You all know how brutal royal power struggles are. He just wanted to protect me from getting hurt, so he didn't acknowledge me publicly."What she said did sound somewhat reasonable. Even competition for Alpha positions was filled with conflict, sometimes ending with brothers turning against each other or even
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared back and forth between Peyton and me."She's claiming that the Alpha King is her uncle. That means she and Peyton are cousins. If that's true, how could they not know each other?""One of them has to be lying."Peyton's face turned paper white, and panic flickered across her expression."That's impossible. She's lying! If you really were my cousin, there's no way I wouldn't know! Eunice, don't think you can fool us by hiring a few actors and bringing out a fake badge. You're just bitter that Matt kicked you out, so you're taking the chance to get revenge on us!"As the situation grew more heated, Matt immediately stepped forward to vouch for Peyton."Eunice has to be lying. She worked as a Beta in my pack for five years. If the Alpha King were really her uncle, why would she be willing to work for me? She's obviously angry that I expelled her and is making this up to damage my pack's reputation. Don't let her deceive y
After completing the formalities to leave the pack, I walked away from the pack I had lived in for five years.Even though this wasn’t my hometown, it was the first place where I had truly fought for my footing after coming of age. I had worked myself to the bone to prove to my parents that I wasn't some sheltered kid who survived on family support. I didn't rely on my family or connections, only on myself.In the end, what I got was being expelled from the pack. As I stood in the empty apartment, I felt as if my heart was being cut apart.Some members came out one by one to see me off, offering words of comfort."Eunice, kicking you out is Mr. White's loss. You're so capable. I'm sure another pack will take you in. Don't take Peyton's words to heart."I just gave a faint smile.Peyton wasn't that powerful.At the airport, I received a call from Uncle Nigel, who had been out of contact for two weeks."There's unrest breaking out in a pack, and I have to step in personally. I
"So this is the ‘ability’ you’re referring to—shirking duties at work, lacking even basic operational skills, mistaking partner Alphas during negotiations, and costing the pack hundreds of thousands in losses?"Everything I said was true. Peyton's face turned dark, and she immediately looked at Matt with an innocent expression.Matt sat back down, frowned, and rubbed his temples. Finally, he said to me helplessly, "You'll report to the pack's southernmost border region tomorrow. Peyton will temporarily take over the Beta position. When you prove yourself again, I'll transfer you back."The southern branch was the harshest place in the entire pack. The environment was brutal, and because it was close to the borderlands, rogues showed up from time to time. Being sent there was basically the same as exile.But I didn't argue or get angry. I just let out a sarcastic smile. "Fine. I'll leave tomorrow. This Beta position really should go to someone more suitable."After the meeting
