All Chapters of My Toxic Trait Is Being Fat: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

### SincerelyNobody moved.A moment ago the hall had been alive with applause, laughter, and the clink of glasses. Now the air itself seemed to thicken. The music had died mid-note. Conversations hung unfinished. Even the servants stood frozen near the walls, trays still in their hands.You could have heard a pin drop.Roland stared at me as though I had walked out of a grave. The color had drained from his face, leaving only a tight, white-lipped shock. Bianca’s expression was better. The polished confidence she had worn like perfume vanished so completely that, for half a second, I almost felt sorry for her.The silence stretched until it hurt.I took one slow step forward. The soft click of my heel against marble sounded unnaturally loud.“What’s wrong?”No one answered.I let my gaze travel from Roland to the crown resting in Bianca’s hands, then back to him.“You seemed rather desperate to have me returned to Mooncrest.” My voice carried easily through the stillness. “

### SincerelyThe ceremony finally ended after what seemed like forever.A maid approached and bowed, gesturing toward the main house. “This way, Luna.”I followed her.The double doors opened onto a world I had never entered. High ceilings stretched above me, dark wooden beams crossing pale plaster. The marble cold, pristine floors reflected the fading light that poured through tall windows. Oil portraits of long-dead Alphas lined the walls, and crystal vases of fresh flowers sat on every surface, their scent heavy and sweet. Everything gleamed expensively, though it paled in comparison to Ryker’s mansion.I took three slow steps past the threshold, taking it all in: the plush sofa, the heavy velvet drapes, and the way the light pooled across the polished side table I had only ever glimpsed from outside the gates.But the peaceful atmosphere was an illusion. The moment I stepped fully into the foyer, I knew the house was already ablaze.Bianca stood in the center of the grand

### SincerelyThe moment I stepped into my room, I shut the door and leaned against it.For several seconds, I simply stood there.The sting of Bianca’s slap still lingered on my cheek, but that wasn’t what settled heaviest in my chest. What bothered me was the look on Roland’s face when she demanded I be punished.He hadn’t defended me. He hadn’t truly defended Bianca either. He had simply stood there, caught between two women and completely incapable of deciding where he stood.I almost laughed.The great Alpha Roland. The man who had once stood before the entire pack and rejected me without hesitation now couldn’t even control his own household.I walked toward the dresser and carefully removed the Luna crown.The weight of it left my head slowly. I stared at the polished metal for a long moment before setting it down.So this was what everyone was fighting over. A crown that carries title and power.I touched the cool edge of it with one finger. They could keep fighting.

Chapter 48### BiancaThe Head Elder’s staff struck the stone floor once.The sound rang through the hall like a door slamming shut on everything I had planned.One by one the Elders rose and began to file out. Their robes whispered against the floor. Not a single one of them looked at me. Not one of them looked at Roland. When their eyes lingered at all, they rested briefly on Sincerely before they turned away.I stood frozen beside Roland, hands clenched so tightly my nails cut into my palms.Mother was still held between the two guards. The color had drained from her face. The fury she had carried into the hall was gone, replaced by something raw and stunned. She had expected the Council to protect her. Instead they had stood there and told her publicly, and coldly that she had no right to touch the woman wearing the crown.The Head Elder paused as he passed Sincerely.“See that she is released before nightfall, Luna,” he said quietly. “The matter ends here.”Sincerely inc

### Bianca It didn’t take long to find out what made the girl tick. Her name was Tessa. A quick, discreet inquiry through one of my mother’s former attendants yielded everything I needed within an hour. Tessa was twenty-one, the eldest of four siblings, and her father had been bedridden since a logging accident in the outer territory two years ago. Her entire salary went toward paying off his medical debt to the pack’s central apothecary. Debt wasn't just a burden in Mooncrest; it was a leash. I sat at my vanity, twirling a slender silver key between my fingers. Fear of Sincerely had kept Tessa’s mouth shut, but fear of total ruin? That was a far more persuasive motivator. I waited until evening, when the central kitchen staff rotated and the corridors cleared out for dinner prep. I didn't summon her to my room this time. Instead, I intercepted her in the narrow linen alcove near the main staircase. Tessa gasped, nearly dropping a stack of freshly folded sheets when I ste
