Chapter Thirty One : SchemeCara’s POVThe room spun around me. My chest felt heavy, my throat tight.Luna’s voice echoed in my ears, sharp and filled with disgust.“Get out!” she screamed, pointing at the door. “You can’t stay in this pack! Someone like you will never be our next Luna.”Tears blurred my vision as I shook my head frantically. “No, please! You have to believe me! It’s a setup! I didn’t do it!” My voice cracked with desperation.Liam stood there, frozen. His eyes were clouded with confusion, his fists clenched at his sides. I searched his face for something—anything—that would tell me he believed me.But he said nothing.His silence shattered me more than Luna’s cruel words.I took a shaky step forward, but Vanessa’s voice cut through the tension like a blade.“She doesn’t deserve to be Luna,” Vanessa sneered, crossing her arms. “Just look at her. She doesn’t have the appearance, the status, or the class. And now, she’s going after Liam’s father?” She let out a cold lau

Chapter Thirty Three : The Paternity Test(Cara’s POV)I sat in the hospital bed, my hands gently placed over my stomach. The room was quiet, but my heart was loud in my chest. It had been hours since Alpha decided I could stay under his protection until the paternity test was done. But I knew… peace would not come.Not for me.Not for my baby.A tear slipped down my cheek. I rubbed my belly softly, whispering, “Whatever happens, baby, I will stand by you. I will be with you.”My voice shook. My body was tired, my heart was broken, but I couldn’t give up. No matter what they said, this child was Liam’s. I knew it. I felt it.What if they forced me out?I closed my eyes, holding back a sob. I was scared.Then… I heard footsteps.I froze.The door to my room opened, and voices filled the air. My heart dropped as I recognized them.Luna.Alpha.Vanessa.Liam.They were all here.I stayed still, listening.“We must check if the baby is for Liam or not,” Luna’s sharp voice rang out.I swal

Chapter Thirty-Five: A Broken Bond(Liam’s POV)The tension in the air was thick as we walked back to the packhouse. No one spoke, but I could feel the weight of everyone’s emotions pressing down on me. My father walked with his usual authority, his shoulders squared, while my mother’s face held a smug expression. Vanessa followed closely behind, satisfaction clear in her eyes.Sophia was the only one who looked furious. She walked beside Cara, her hand gripping Cara’s arm, as if she was afraid she would collapse.Cara, on the other hand, looked numb. Her face was pale, her lips slightly parted, and her eyes were swollen from crying. She didn’t try to wipe her tears anymore. She just walked, silent and broken.And I forced myself not to care.I clenched my jaw and reminded myself that I was doing what was best for the pack.When we arrived at the packhouse, the entire pack had gathered. The grand hall was full—elders, warriors, omegas—everyone was here, waiting for my decision. They h

Chapter Thirty Seven : SmarterCara's POVThe room was quiet save for the soft crackling of the fire. The dim light had long shadows cast upon the walls, and the room seemed unusually chilly despite warmth in the air. I was sitting on the edge of my own bed, staring at myself in the mirror at the far end of the room.I should have been sleeping, but my mind would not quiet.Too much had happened.Too many betrayals.I placed my hand upon my stomach, pressing down lightly into the life pulsating softly within me. My pup. The only thing that had kept me from shattering completely.My entire life, I'd been instructed that I was weak, an omega nothing but a liability. That was a lie.I didn't require proof.I wasn't weak.I'd been a warrior.Before Caleb had cast me aside, I had trained with some of the best fighters in his pack. I had battled with ferocity in combat, defended my people, and proved myself time and time again. My body might have been warped into the form of an omega, but n

Chapter Thirty Nine : The Plan Of SchemeCara’s PovJust then, the door burst open, and Luna stepped in. Her presence filled the room with authority, her eyes scanning the situation carefully. It was as if the air in the room changed the moment she arrived, demanding attention and obedience.“What is going on here?” she demanded, her sharp gaze moving between me, Liam, and Vanessa.Vanessa turned to her instantly, her tears falling even faster. “Luna,” she gasped, her voice shaking. “Thank the Moon Goddess you’re here! Cara—she attacked me. And now, she’s lying about me poisoning her to make Liam hate me!”My heart pounded in my chest. I should have known she would twist the story even further. Vanessa was a master at playing the victim, making herself look innocent while painting me as the villain.Luna’s eyes narrowed as she looked at me. “Is this true, Cara?”I opened my mouth to speak, but Vanessa cut in before I could even get a word out.“She just wants Liam to hate me!” she cri
