22"T-this... I... Is this real?" Violet's eyes brimmed with tears as she slapped a hand on her mouth to contain her sobs.It was an official letter by Alpha confirming her adoption. Since her nerves were frayed and her body vibrating in disbelief, she reread the letter several times, word by word, from the very top.BLACK STONE PACK CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTADOPTION CONFIRMATIONTo All Pack Members And Relevant Authorities,We, the pack's executive body, hereby confirm and declare that an orphan pup, Violet Rivers, Aged 18, has been formally adopted by our dedicated pack member Mrs. Auriele Styles, working as Chief of Housekeeping Staff at the Alpha's mansion.This Adoption has been approved and sanctioned by me, in accordance with our Pack's laws and traditions, furthermore witnessed and verified by our Beta and Gamma.Attached herewith are the necessary documents, including:~ Adoption agreement~ Pack's official adoption acknowledgement certificateSincerely,Alpha Arnold Hudson,Blac

24(Trigger warning: Bullying scene ahead!)Violet dashed inside the restroom and stopped before the sink. She clutched its edges, her knuckles whitening with strain, as she watched her tear-smothered, red and swollen face. Her lips trembled. She pressed them together as a loud agonized cry rumbled in the back of her throat.She wished for death. That would be a thousand times better than this humiliation. Her mind went back to the sitting area in the coffee shop. The hateful remarks, the dark glares and scorns hoed their way into her mind, making her lean on the sink and cry her heart out louder. "WHY ME? What have I done to get this?" Violet hollered in a hoarse voice."I'm not a traitor! I'm not a homewrecker! I didn't betray anyone. I didn't..." She sobbed as her forehead touched the cool metal of the sink."I didn't do anything. W-why can't anyone believe me? W-why can’t they show me some mercy?" She choked on her voice.She was wailing there quietly when one of the doors of the

26"I can do this!" Violet encouraged herself. With slow hand movements, she freed her hair from the branch. She smiled victoriously when her hair fell on her shoulder in a heap. "That was easy." She purred as she tried not to panic when she took a gander around. Sure, it was frighteningly dark and every tree trunk had seemed to develop two, big and dark red eyeballs of their own, that were staring at her. But after she calmed down and told herself that it was nothing, everything began to seem ordinary again.The trees didn't scare her. The trunks didn't have those dark and foreboding eyeballs. There were no monsters moving around. There were no rogues leering at her helplessness. It was just her in the silent embrace of harmless nature, among little creatures who were just chilling around in the lawns of their houses on a tree or under a rock. Once she had succeeded in controlling her imaginations, it was easier to find her way back to the picnic mat under the tree where she wok

28"I'm here in Darci's room. Well, I don't know what I'm doing here and why I'm doing what I'm doing because this doesn't come under my work. But last night Darci came to me and requested me to bring some of her clothes that were sent for washing to her room. Please, take note— She. Specifically. Requested. Me. To. Bring. Her. Clothes. To. Her. Room. When it's not part of my job.""I couldn't refuse her because she pleaded with me." Pause. "But... I don't know. I just found it so phishy. That being said, I'm recording this video. The stack of clothes you see here— This yellow t-shirt, this white trousers, these two summer dresses, and a few other clothes are all that were there. I'm showing these here so tomorrow if something happens... which I have a feeling it will... Then I can defend myself."Just as the video ended, Auriele announced, "The reason it took me a while in Darci's room was because I was making this video, Kiara."Then she turned to look at Alpha Arnold, "You saw the

30Violet had entered the realm of peaceful sleep by the time Auriele returned to her attic bedroom. A small smile touched her lips when she saw Violet sleeping on her left side, with both her hands under her cheek and her lips parted slightly.Auriele caressed her hair and then pushed the blanket away from her body given it was scorching hot. She gazed around, feeling as if the room was boiling. It had grown somewhat hotter after it rained in the afternoon.Rains during the sultry summer season wasn't a phenomenon in the Iron Moon Pack. This constantly occurred in their pack. Rain never helped on hot days. It just made the air heavier and more humid. The ground would also give off heat, making everything feel even hotter. There was a fan hanging from the ceiling and it wasn't working that efficiently.Auriele sighed pitifully at her daughter. She was made to believe she was a traitor after Ben's incident, which eventually led her to believe that she didn't deserve the basic necessiti
