Chapter 3

The moment Virelle spoke, a wave of applause and cheers erupted from the gathered parents.

“That’s why you’re Luna! You deal with everything so decisively and fairly!”

“Exactly, this is a prestigious Pack. Not just anyone can belong here.”

“Why would an Omega’s daughter need schooling? You should be teaching her how to seduce Alphas, like you did. Maybe she’ll even outdo you and find a more powerful mate!”

Virelle’s audacity grew even bolder.

“See that? This is what happens when you’re an Omega rogue. You and your daughter will always be at the bottom of the Pack, despised by everyone!”

The crowd’s jeers and insults rained down on me. The more they spat their venom, the broader Virelle’s smile grew.

The teacher, a timid Beta, saw an opportunity to flatter her. “Mrs. Blake, the Alpha mentioned that if you’re pleased with how things have been handled, he hopes you could do us a favor.”

“You know we’re planning to expand the Pack’s territory, and all the land around here is owned by Serrowind Pack. What do you think…”

Virelle, arms crossed, gave a condescending smile. “Don’t worry. I’m very satisfied with how this was resolved today. When the time comes, I’ll make a call, and my husband, the Alpha, will ensure you get all the land you need.”

The teacher’s grin widened. “Thank you in advance, Mrs. Blake.”

“Virelle, my husband’s worked with Serrowind Group before. Could you keep us in mind for future Pack business?”

“My company’s looking to shift industries. I’d love to partner with Serrowind Group someday.”

“Virelle, here’s a no-limit shopping card from my mall. I hope we can stay close.”

In an instant, parents were scrambling to win her favor, each one trying harder than the last to impress her. Some even slipped their Pack tokens into her bag.

Virelle basked in the adoration, her arrogance radiating from every inch of her.

She raised her chin high as she strutted past me, then sneered, “See that? This is the power of wealth and Pack influence.

“You, a rogue Omega, will spend your life serving stronger men, hoping for the smallest scraps.

“But me? I’ll live the kind of glory you’ll never even imagine.

“I’m giving you one day. Take your bastard daughter and leave this territory. If I see you near my mate again, I’ll bury that little pup of yours alive!”

My daughter clung to me, trembling. “Mom, I’m scared. My foot… it hurts so much…” Her voice quivered with fear and pain.

I quickly removed her boot and gasped in horror—one of her toes was gone. The wound was grotesque, blood pooled inside her shoe.

It felt as though a dagger had pierced my heart, and I couldn’t stop the tears that flooded my eyes.

How had my fragile, pain-sensitive daughter endured this without a word?

Fury exploded within me as I glared at Virelle.

“Did your son, the Alpha pup, do this to her?”

Virelle glanced at me nonchalantly. “Why are you making such a fuss? Be grateful I didn’t have my son, the Alpha heir, take that brat’s life.”

Before she could finish her sentence, I slapped her across the face. The force of my anger powered the strike, sending her stumbling back.

As I prepared to strike again, a Beta Pack member grabbed my hair, and other parents joined in, kicking and punching.

“You filthy Omega! How dare you lay a hand on Mrs. Blake? Are you begging for death?”

“Yeah, your pup isn’t dead yet. Why rush to join her in the grave?”

“Your kid’s lucky Caius, the Alpha pup, gave her a lesson. With a mother like you, she deserves whatever happens to her, even death!”

The teacher, full of righteous indignation, kicked me too.

“Stop hitting my mom!” my daughter screamed, trying to defend me.

But a pudgy pup kicked her down to the ground.

The teacher patted him on the head, grinning.

“Caius, you always know how to deal with troublemakers. Such a good pup. I’ll make sure to praise you in front of the whole Pack tomorrow and give you a reward!”

Caius grinned smugly.

“Hmph, it’s what I’m supposed to do. I’ll beat that brat every time I see her.”

Lying on the ground, seething with rage, I grit my teeth.

“You’ll regret this!”

The crowd erupted in laughter, as if I’d just told the most ridiculous joke.

“Did I hear that right? A lowly rogue Omega daring to make threats?”

“Hilarious! This wench actually thinks she’s important. Mrs. Blake is the Alpha’s Luna. Crushing you is as easy as squashing an ant!”

“This worthless Omega can do nothing but throw tantrums. Hahaha!”

“What a disgrace. If I were her, I’d have already ended my life.”

The parents held me down, continuing to mock and humiliate me. The onlookers were just as cruel, spitting at me and taunting.

Virelle, relishing in the attention, shoved her sharp heel into my face.

“Hahaha! Regret? I’ve never regretted a single thing. I’d love to see how someone like you could make me regret anything!”

At that moment, a line of luxury cars screeched to a halt at the school gates.

Strong, silent Alpha men in suits quickly poured out of the vehicles…
