Chapter 3

Penulis: Mountain River
Braden arrived quickly, and a few minutes later, the waste room's iron door was smashed open with tremendous force. He rushed in with two elite warriors, their eyes flashing with deadly golden light.

When he saw me covered in blood and half-curled on the ground, a low, murderous growl immediately rumbled in his throat. He wanted to pounce and tear Nina's throat out, but I shook my head slightly to stop him.

I preferred to cut the root of the problem and finish things with a single strike. It wasn't the right time yet.

I took the bank card from him and tossed it at Nina's feet.

Nina snatched the card and greedily checked its balance. When she saw the number, she nodded with satisfaction.

"You smart thing," she drawled.

Then, she waved her hand as if she were shooing away an annoying stray dog. "Get lost now. If you dare try anything again, I'll personally hold your face down in a sulfuric acid bath."

I didn't reply. I couldn't speak at all, for every breath I took tugged at my wounds.

Braden carefully picked me up as if I were made of broken glass and carried me out of that hellhole. The sunlight, which I felt like I had been deprived of for an eternity, stung my eyes, making me squint.

Braden carefully examined my wounds. His voice trembled with guilt and self-reproach as he said, "Alpha Female… I should've come sooner. I should have… Good Goddess, what did she do to you?"

"These injuries won't kill me," I rasped with a chill in my voice. "But this account will definitely be settled properly."

"That bastard Xander… This Lighthall pack of his is only surviving thanks to the protection of the Frostmoon pack, yet he allowed that she-wolf to do this to you!" Braden gnashed his teeth. "I'll gather our army right now and level this place to the ground!"

"Wait a little longer," I sneered. "He's found himself a great girlfriend. I want him to see with his own eyes how he's ruined by that idiot."

I dialed the number of the Lighthall pack's Chief Healer, who was an experienced elder wolf I had personally promoted.

"You have ten minutes to remove Nina Tucker from the healer roster." My voice was calm but brooked no argument.

"A-Alpha—" The Chief Healer on the other end of the line was so startled by my voice that he could hardly speak.

I cut him off directly, "Otherwise, the Frostmoon pack will cut off all resource supplies to the Lighthall pack, and… I will personally lead my army to raze your territory."

Having clearly heard the anger in my tone, he frantically agreed, not daring to ask a single question.

After hanging up, I didn't pause for a moment before saying, "Head to the highest-level pack infirmary."

In a single day, I went through my second physical examination. As I looked at the report that stated, "Extensive burns over large areas of the body and moderate silver poisoning", the fury in my heart burned even hotter.

Xander could either beg for my forgiveness, or he would get what was coming for him.

After my wounds were treated, my personal guards had already assembled. Over a dozen black armored vehicles roared straight toward Xander's manor.

How ironic. Even this manor had been a gift from me.

At that moment, wild laughter, music, and the sounds of clinking glasses drifted from the manor. It was no wonder he didn't answer my call earlier; he was busy hosting a party.

Before I had even entered, I heard a tearful voice. It was Nina, who just happened to be talking about me.

"Alpha, she ruined the potions you bought for me. I only asked her to pay, but she hit me, berated me, and even threw a bank card in my face to humiliate me!

"I let her go without making a fuss, but she must have a shady relationship with the pack's Chief Healer. She actually got him to remove me from the healer roster! She did that fully knowing I'm your girlfriend. She clearly looks down on you…"

Inside the manor, Xander's sycophants all chimed in, eager to punish the "arrogant fool" Nina mentioned.

Xander lovingly kissed Nina, his eyes full of adoration. "Babe, don't worry. No one but me can meddle with anything in my pack! I swear, once I lock that crazy she-wolf in a silver cell and completely crush her pride, I'll make her crawl to you and apologize!"

The sycophants immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Great! Alpha Xander, just give the order, and we'll go grab that bitch right away!"

"That's right! Let her know who's in charge of this territory. We'll teach her a lesson!"

At that moment, a silver dagger suddenly flew in. It accurately embedded itself in the center of the dining table, splitting a plate in half. The music and laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly. Everyone trembled as they looked in the direction the dagger had come from.

I stood at the entrance of the manor with my arms crossed. Behind me was a row of elite warriors, all radiating murderous intent.

"I'm right here. So, who was it who wanted to teach me a lesson?"

  • Diagnosis of Debt: Healer's 700,000 Shakedown   Chapter 9

    Things in the Lighthall pack had changed.In just one night, the once-arrogant Alpha Xander and his malicious girlfriend Nina had plummeted from the clouds down into the mud.The central plaza was crowded with werewolves.The pack members felt no sympathy as they watched the once high-and-mighty Alpha grovel on the ground like a beggar, nor did they feel anything when they saw the usually haughty and tyrannical healer sport a bloody mouth and disfigured face.Instead, they erupted in cheers and applause.All these years, Xander had been obsessed with she-wolves, and Nina, during her time with him, had abused her power. As a result, everyone resented them.In their eyes, my swift and severe punishment became a righteous deed that eliminated evil.I didn't linger in the Lighthall pack for long. After appointing a powerful werewolf who had long been suppressed as acting Alpha and leaving guards to help maintain order, I set off back to the Frostmoon pack.The motorcade slowly drov

    Xander stared at me in horror, scrambling backward desperately. Even the chair clattered noisily along with him. "No! No! Kamryn! Please! Don't! Don't destroy me!"Xander's desperate roar echoed in the waste room, quickly turning into agonized wails.Braden moved quickly, precisely, and cruelly. He swiftly gripped Xander's jaw, forced his mouth open, and poured a bottle of purple liquid down his throat.Xander coughed violently while clawing at his throat, trying to vomit the contents out."Kamryn! You broke your word! I hope you die a horrible death!" he bellowed.I stood to the side with an indifferent expression. I gave my word? Giving my word to someone like him would be self-inflicted cruelty. When I first helped him rise to power, he, too, had vowed to always protect me. And what was the result? He used my resources, kept a girlfriend who humiliated me, and chose to look the other way when I was in danger. He even kicked me while I was down.Letting an ungrateful bastard

    The underground waste room of the pack infirmary was still dark and damp. The air reeked of a foul mix of rotting potions and stale blood.A few hours ago, I had been pinned to the floor here, enduring the corrosion of silver water.Now, the roles were reversed.Nina was suspended in mid-air by iron chains, her wrists already bleeding from the restraints. Her expensive haute couture dress was now filthy, and she had cried her once-meticulous makeup into a comical clown mask.Nearby, Xander was tied to a chair. He had a rag stuffed in his mouth and was forced to watch everything. His eyes were filled with fear, pleading, and a trace of resentment toward Nina. Clearly, on the way here, he had figured out who was truly to blame for all this.If only this stupid she-wolf hadn't provoked me, he would still be the high-and-mighty Alpha, living a life of luxury and indulgence.I sat on a clean chair, toying with the metal bucket that had once contained the disinfectant."Nina, do you r

    "No… Don't…" Xander kneeled on the floor, his hands clutching the carpet. Earlier, he had still held onto hope, believing I would spare him for the sake of family ties. But now, faced with reality, all his illusions had shattered.How could he bear to revert to being an ordinary werewolf after having already enjoyed the life of an Alpha with others fawning over him? What was even more terrifying was that he now faced being banished from the pack, forced to become a Rogue, left to brave the elements on his own!"Kamryn! I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Xander wept bitterly, trying to hug my legs, but Braden blocked him."I shouldn't have shielded her! I shouldn't have been so deluded! Please, don't strip my Alpha title or banish me from the pack! We grew up together. Have you forgotten our past bonds? Have you forgotten what Grandpa said before he died, that we should support each other?"He finally brought up our dead grandfather, but unfortunately, it was too late.While looking

    The Alpha Succession Decree was like a heavy hammer, smashing down on Xander and shattering any illusions everyone present had.Xander fumbled to catch the paper. After reading its contents, he froze in place as if struck by lightning."Change of Alpha? Kamryn, you're insane! We share the same bloodline. You can't find a more suitable Alpha for a subordinate pack than me!" he yelled, his voice changing pitch due to fear. The weakness emanating from his very bones was exposed at this moment.In other aspects, Xander wasn't even considered outstanding. He was just slightly better than an average werewolf. Without his Alpha status and my protection, the werewolves he had offended in the past would swarm to tear him to pieces!"A trivial matter, huh?" I stepped closer to him, forcing him to tremble and retreat step by step."Xander, it seems I've protected you too well over the years, causing you to forget my rules. Your partner used corporal punishment on me, extorted money from me,

    Dead silence filled the hall.Xander's wine glass slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor with a loud crack. He squinted his bleary eyes, seemingly unable to recognize me standing against the light. Meanwhile, Nina, in his arms, screamed first, "Alpha! It's her! That crazy she-wolf even chased us to our home!"Nina, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointed at me and screeched, "Why did you bring all these warriors? Are you planning to rebel? This is the Lighthall pack's territory!"She turned and shook Xander's arm, complaining coyly, "Darling, look how arrogant she is! She must be jealous of our love and wants to cause trouble. Hurry, call the guards and arrest her. This time, I want to peel the skin off her face myself!"Xander finally got a clear look at my face. In that instant, the drunkenness drained from his face like a receding tide, and he immediately paled instead."Kamryn my cousin? What are you doing here? How long have you been here?"The good-for-
