Chapter 5

Author: Seeky
"How is that possible?" It felt like the sky was coming down on me.

My father had treated me horribly, but I still wanted him to go on living the ordinary life he had.

I was going to tell him the truth once I was strong enough to take on Hannah and her mother. How had it come to this so fast?

"Your father went to see Coach Gordon. A few days after he came back..."

Everett had no idea how to comfort me.

He rested his hand on my head and told me I could take tomorrow off.

But I couldn't wait a single moment. The number on the scale started dropping fast enough to watch.

At a hundred and seventy pounds I finally couldn't stand it and went to see Coach Gordon.

When I saw him, I noticed that he was in far worse shape than before, both his spirit and his body.

"Coach, what is going on in this pack! And my father... Alpha Marcus, how did he die?"

I was desperate for the truth, and I was done hiding who I was.

Coach Gordon smiled at me for a long moment, then waved me over to sit beside him.

He took a photo of the two of us together, but the smile was gone from his face in a second.

"Aurora, I knew it was you. You're the only hope pack hockey has left."

He took my hand with a father's tenderness.

From what he told me, I learned the side of pack hockey and the cheer squad that nobody sees.

"So Alpha Theron has no business being a star player, and after what Hannah has done she has no business being captain. If this keeps up, our whole athletic program is finished!"

I went back to the house Everett rented for me in a daze, and the moment I saw him the tears came and wouldn't stop.

"How could she use the girls on that squad to pave Theron's way!

"So many girls. My good friend Kate suffered a serious tear while covering Hannah's hardest elements, and she had to pay for the cartilage-repair surgery herself...

"And the wages Theron and Hannah pay them are pathetic. Less than a full-time worker makes at the fast food place downstairs.

"Hannah is the captain. She knew every step of what those bastards were doing to the girls... no, it was her, she was the one handing girls over to those bastards on the sports committee, trading them for Theron's star player title, filling the pack's pockets..."

I clamped a hand over my mouth. What they had done made me sick to my stomach.

"My sister, Camilla, was one of the girls they assaulted."

It took Everett a long time to get the words out.

I put my arms around his neck, sick with guilt.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Everett! I didn't know. I never knew they were doing any of this."

"None of it is your fault, Aurora."

There were tears standing in his eyes.

After Hannah traded Camilla away, Camilla had barely come of age when she killed herself with a silver dagger.

I swore an oath under the full moon: I would expose every one of their false faces.

Then I would make pack hockey and the cheer squad clean again.

My weight fell to a hundred and twenty, a hundred and ten, a hundred and five, a hundred pounds.

With Coach Gordon's help, I performed at cheer events for pack after pack.

My name was starting to eclipse Hannah's.

I knew it. It was time to spring the trap!

    Stripped of Melissa's protection and her fake pureblood halo, Hannah was quietly arrested by the Council enforcement squad.My fame skyrocketed.People online started calling me Sweetheart.[Do you people have any idea how much it hurts to lose over a hundred pounds][Goddess, goddess, you're the most beautiful. A soul like yours is what makes you beautiful]I scrolled through my phone with a smile and thought that the world was not so formidable after all.I had finished everything Everett asked of me, but the disgust in his eyes deepened whenever the Alpha King was mentioned.The gossip accounts were all posting the full story of what I had endured.They shared medical records and photos documenting how my stepmother had abused me since childhood, feeding me hormones and fattening agents.The Council also released every secret choreography manuscript I had created since coming of age, publishing them in full on the network.The era that belonged to Aurora had begun.At dusk, the cent

    Three days later, Melissa came to find me on her own."Aurora, I never imagined you would become the woman you are now."She smiled brightly, savoring her coffee one small sip at a time."Won't you try it? This place is wonderful. Expensive beans, ground by hand, brewed a little at a time."I took a sip. It really was wonderful, rather like the game between us."Ms. Melissa, you are a low-grade Omega who ran away from the Alpha King. You hid your identity to marry into a pureblood family, then slept with an outsider and produced Hannah, that mongrel. If the Alpha King found out, how long do you think he would make you suffer before he killed you?"She stared at me in shock. I hadn't known any of it either, but Theron wasn't willing to let her walk."No Alpha King lets a house dog disobey its owner."The fear in her eyes told me I had found her weak spot.When I was small my father was always out working, and the house was really just me and Hannah. Melissa only came back when he was ho

    Theron's case moved fast. He had been stupid enough to back up every single file on his phone.When I went with Everett to see him in prison, he begged Everett to save him."Everett... you have to get me out."Theron pressed against the glass, gripping the handset, pleading in half sentences. "For the sake of the seasons we played in the same league, help me find a lawyer... I can't stay in here! Get me out and my money, my contacts, all of it is yours!"The look in Everett's eyes was ice."Your father was taken into custody. Did you know that?"Theron stared at him. "Why? Why did you do this!"Everett answered him, "You have probably forgotten. Fifteen years ago, during that chain of crashes on the mountain course, your father paid off the track inspector so he could seize control of league resources. My parents and my unborn sister were killed. Their bodies were never even recovered from the avalanche."I took Everett's hand, hoping to make it hurt a little less."Now you can pay for

    The talk online kept building over the next few days.Hannah had already been dragged down off her altar.Plagiarism? Trading sex for favors? Either one alone was a disgrace to an Alpha family.I rode the outrage, armed with Coach Gordon's trump card, straight into the highest cheerleading guild in the wolf world.Meanwhile, outside the door stood Hannah, stripped of her guild membership over the plagiarism and sex-for-favors scandal, staring at me through the glass with enough hate to swallow me whole.I smiled back at her while I chatted with Alpha King Bastian at my side.After the meeting ended, Hannah cornered me on my way to the restroom."Aurora, don't you forget what you used to be!"She ground the words out. I smiled, pleased with myself. So you finally can't sit still?I caught the hand she was about to raise and put my mouth to her ear. "The show has already started. How are you still this stupid?"Then I whipped Hannah's hand into my own face and let myself fall to the floo

    I went to Coach Gordon's funeral in a downpour.His wife placed the evidence he had gathered into my hands with great ceremony."He said this box held some of the evidence he had collected, all the proof you were looking for."I held that heavy box in both hands and dropped hard onto one knee in the mud.Then I made a fist and struck my own chest three times in front of Coach Gordon's headstone, to show him my respect.Back home, I opened the box and began sorting through Coach Gordon's evidence.There were complete, detailed transaction records for fixed matches and records of cheerleaders coerced into sex-for-favors schemes.There was also a recording of Hannah bragging in the locker room."What good is that fat pig? Her ring, her mate, they're just trophies I took."On the recording, Hannah's laugh was pure poison."The reason she turned into that disgusting, stupid thing is all my mother's work! Fattening agents and hormones in her food every single day. She's garbage. She was alwa

    [Sweetheart, are you free? Come down for a drink. Theron]I looked at the text and thought it over for a while.Theron was greedy and lecherous and had never learned a thing in his life. The only reason he was competing at this level was his mother and her filthy methods.I sent back a curt reply and went out.When I saw Theron downstairs, I smiled.The idiot had tracked me down after all, though I had never planned on staying hidden."Camilla, the first time I saw you, I thought you looked like a girl I used to know."I gave him a small smile, said nothing, and got straight into his car."I thought Mr. Theron wanted to talk. Is this your idea of showing me you mean it?"He laughed and called me an interesting woman. I looked at him the way you look at an idiot.Theron was out all night, and with me. I wondered whether Hannah would be angry if she knew.I took Theron to a bar, and when he had drunk himself unconscious I hauled him to a hotel.I stripped Theron down to his underwear and
