Instead of going straight to the office, Natalia locked herself in the bathroom, deciding to ger rid of the stickiness on her skin first. She refused to appear weak in front of Vitale or his goons. Turning on the faucet, she splashed cold water on her face, trying to wash off the tomato juice and the dirt from her skin. She grabbed a towel and dried herself, then looked at herself in the mirror.She saw a woman with long red hair and dark green eyes, with a slender and athletic body and a pale and smooth complexion stared back at her. A woman who was beautiful and strong, who had trained hard and fought hard, who had survived and endured.She saw a woman who was hated and rejected, who had been framed and betrayed, who had been hurt and broken.She saw herself.Natalia felt a mix of emotions in her chest. But she clenched her jaw and straightened her posture, trying to look confident and proud as she walked towards the door with a steady pace.Sje arrived at the office not long. The o

He looked at the guards and gave them an order."Bring Lena here. She'll prove you're lying." .The guards nodded and left the room, returning shortly after with Lena in tow.They pushed her towards the table where Natalia was standing and swiftly left, and when Natalia locked eyes with her, she avoided her gaze, looking scared and nervous.Natalia felt a pang of worry and doubt in her stomach.She wondered what Olga had done to Lena like this, what she had promised or threatened her with to make Lena testify against her.Alessio looked at Lena and spoke for the first time ever, his voice gentle and calm. He didn't even bother trying to defend her even once. Natalia felt... betrayed. "Lena, you were on patrol last night with Natalia, right?" He asked."Yes, alpha." Lena nodded, her eyes glued to the floor."Can you tell us what happened during your patrol? Where did you go and what did you see?"Lena hesitated, she glanced at Natalia briefly with a guilty and fearful expression."I'

Vitale watched as Natalia was dragged out from the office in silence. He listened to the council members making up lies on how Natalia had orchested the kidnapping of all the missing omegas all those years in silence. He watched as they pile out of his office one after the other, their faces a mix of smugness and victory. Never had it dawned on Vitale that he was surrounded by traitors until now. All these years, his search for the kidnapper led to a deadend, and he was forced to close the cases as rogue attacks. Little did he know, that it was orchested by his own very pack members.He had seen and heard it all today. Enough to know that they were lying to him. He had seen with Natalia last night, she had also been with him when the last kidnapping happened, so there was no way she could have done it.His eyes moved to Alessio, who seemed deep in thought, he had not said a word to defend his mate of the accusations. That was all he needed to know something was not right. Alessio had

And by the Vitale woke up, the sun was up, his head was pounding and his mouth dry. He groaned and reached for his phone, checking the time. It was almost time for the execution. "Fuck " He cursed and got out of bed, feeling dizzy and nauseous. He had drunk too much last night, trying to forget the mess he was in. He had a traitor in his ranks, someone who had betrayed him to his enemies and kidnapped the omegas. He had no idea who it was or why they did it, but he was determined to find out and make them pay.He stumbled to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, then took some painkillers from the cabinet. He looked at himself in the mirror and grimaced. He looked like hell. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and his stubble was growing. He needed a shower, but he didn't have time for that. He had to see Natalia.Hastily throwing on some clothes, he headed to the basement where she was locked up in a cell. He opened the door with his fingerprint and walked dow

In the cosy library Kat, Al, Olga and Roberto met up before the big event. Wearing their robes that signify their ranks, they sat on a plush sofa near the fireplace, surrounded by shelves of books and magazines. They chatted cheerfully, anticipating the show about to unfold in less than an hour."I can't believe the plan worked out so smoothly. After today, V would have no choice but to give up on Natalia for good." Kat said, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "Gosh, I've been on edge ever since she returned.""I know, right?" Olga agreed, her short brown hair falling over her eyes. "She's always acting like she's better than everyone else, so rude and bossy.""Come on, she's not that bad. You just didn't get to spend time with her," Al disagreed, defending his mate. "She's the best mate I could ever hope to have.""Yeah, right" Roberto scoffed. " You're just blinded by your mate bond and obsession. She's nothing but a bitch. I bet she doesn't even love you back despite the bond

"As you can see," Vitale said, turning to Anton and the audience. "Natalia didn't kidnap the omegas. She was framed by someone else. Someone who wanted to get rid of her."He looked around the hall, his eyes accusing and challenging."Someone who is here among us."The hall was silent, except for the sound of breathing and heartbeats. Everyone looked at each other, wondering who Vitale was talking about. Who could have such a motive and opportunity to frame Natalia?Anton looked at Vitale and Lena, then at Natalia. He saw the smirk and ridicule in her eyes, and he felt a pang of doubt in his chest. What is Vitale up to?He cleared his throat and said, "This is a very serious accusation, Alpha Vitale. Do you have any proof to back it up?""Yes, I do," Vitale said, nodding. "But for the sake of the pack's unity, I'll keep it secret for the time being.""Well...err..in that case,""It's alright Anton, you tried your best. Whoever wanted to frame Natalia used Alice's memory loss to their

Kat stormed out of the hall, her eyes burning with anger and frustration. Vitale's declaration had blindsided her, shattering her carefully crafted plan. How could things have gone so wrong? She had expected this revelation to be the final blow to his relationship with Natalia, to drive them apart once and for all. But instead, it seemed to have brought them closer.She had worked so hard, so long, to sabotage their love. She had used every trick in the book, every weapon at her disposal. She had manipulated, lied, schemed, and even poisoned. She had enlisted the help of Roberto, Olga and Alessio's help, who shared her hatred and jealousy. Together, they had concocted a plan to expose Natalia's crimes and ruin her reputation.But their plan had backfired. Vitale had turned the tables on them, revealing that he knew about their plot and that he had a secret of his own. He had announced the presence of a traitor in the pack, and looked pointedly at them when he said so.Kat couldn't bel

Natalia finally arrived, looking flustered and nervous. She wore a simple dress and a cardigan, her long hair tied in a ponytail. She looked lovely, but also out of place in the bustling cafeteria. She scanned the room, searching for Vitale, and when she spotted him, her eyes widened in shock.He was dressed in a way that made her breath catch in her throat. His suit fit him like a glove, highlighting his muscular physique and commanding presence. His white shirt contrasted with his tan skin and dark hair, making him look even more handsome than usual. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and his lips curved into a faint smile that made her heart skip a beat."Is this a date?" She wondered.She felt a surge of attraction towards him, as well as a pang of confusion and fear. Why was he dressed like this? What did he want from her? What was he planning to do?She walked towards him, feeling the weight of dozens of eyes on her. She heard the whispers and murmurs of the pack members, wonderin
