At the hospital, my parents arrived within thirty minutes of getting Dominic's call.They had heard what happened on the way and were already livid. My father's face was red with fury, while my mother looked ready to commit murder."Where are they?" my father demanded. "Where are those pieces of garbage? I want to have a few words with them myself!"My mother was pacing back and forth: "I should have known that family was trouble from the beginning. The way that woman always hinted about money, always comparing her son to other men who had more to offer."They said disapprovingly: "It's time to teach Marcus a lesson he'll never forget. You don't still have feelings for him, do you, sweetheart?"I said quietly but firmly: "I'm not that stupid, Dad. Whatever feelings I had for him died the moment he chose to mark another woman at our ceremony."Dominic said seriously to my father: "Uncle, don't worry. I've already issued a blacklist order against him through my connections in the Norther

Since Dominic had arrived before I was attacked, I didn't suffer any serious injuries. After returning home, I watched in amazement as my parents and Dominic's advisors discussed and finalized all the dates and procedures for announcing our bonding.My mother was practically glowing with excitement. "We need to make sure every major pack leader receives a formal invitation," she said, scribbling notes furiously. "This isn't just a bonding announcement—it's a political alliance that will reshape the entire territory."Dominic's beta advisor nodded seriously. "The Northern Territory Council has already approved the union. They're calling it the most significant alliance in decades."My father clapped Dominic on the shoulder. "You've made our daughter happier than I've ever seen her. That's worth more than any political advantage."I felt warmth spread through my chest watching them all work together. This was what a real family looked like—supportive, loving, united.A few days later, we

Marcus's mother panicked as she realized she was being recorded from every angle. She covered her face with her hands and scrambled to her feet, fleeing through the crowd as people laughed and jeered."Run! Run back to your cheating son!""Tell Marcus he can rot in prison for all we care!"And I was immersed in the happiness of announcing our good news, completely ignoring this minor interruption. If anything, seeing her desperation only made me more grateful for how far I'd come.Dominic wrapped his arm around me protectively. "Are you alright, my love?"I smiled up at him. "Perfect.

Later, I gradually heard bits and pieces of news about Marcus.The first piece of information came from my former colleague at the pack clinic. She told me Marcus had been able to get out of prison a year early, but at a devastating cost.His mother had sold their family home—the same house where I'd spent countless evenings having dinner with them, thinking I was part of the family. She'd emptied every savings account, cashed out all their investments, and even sold her late husband's war medals to scrape together the compensation money."She looked like she'd aged twenty years overnight," my colleague whispered. "When she came to handle the paperwork, her hands were shaking so badly she could barely sign her name."They were completely bankrupt.But Marcus's troubles had only just begun.After being thrown out by Dominic's guards that day, Marcus hadn't learned his lesson. My security team later told me he'd tried to force his way back into the venue again, screaming my name like a m

"You made me give up everything for you and your bastard kid, and then you left us all to rot!""Marcus, please, I can explain—""Explain what? How you played me for a fool? How you made me lose the only woman who ever really loved me?"The rifle shots echoed through the quiet street. Serena died instantly, her blood staining the expensive dress she'd bought with another man's money.Marcus was arrested immediately and sentenced to death for intentional murder. He showed no remorse at his trial, only muttering about how everyone had betrayed him.The Marcus family was left with only his mother, taking care of that boy, living in a daze of poverty and shame.The child's behavior only got worse after his mother's death was announced on the news.
