All Chapters of Accused Betrayed But Never Broken: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Vic is a sick freak! He should be put to death! My Chloe just turned eighteen, and he raped her!"Brenda Jenkins's scream pierced the air of the Pack Council courtroom.She glared at me viciously. Her eyes burned with pure hatred, like she wanted to skin me alive and tear me to shreds.Beside her, her niece Chloe whimpered softly. Tears streamed down her face. Her eyes were full of hurt and terror."Vic said if I didn't take my clothes off, he'd snap my neck..." Chloe's voice shook violently. "I was terrified... His Alpha strength was too much. I couldn't fight him off..."I watched this circus with cold eyes. I just repeated the same thing."I didn't rape Chloe. It's literally impossible for me to do that."Before today, I never thought Brenda and I would face off in court like mortal enemies.Just three days ago, this same sobbing woman was grinning and toasting me at the gala. She told me to come to her if I needed anything. When she found out I was single, her smile grew even wide

Morgan heard me and let out a cold laugh."Oh? And what are you implying, Mr. Sterling?" She looked at me with pure mockery. "Do you think you're some irresistible Alpha?"Her tone dripped with disgust. "Or do you think one look at you is enough to make any she-wolf drop to her knees?"Chloe jumped right in, tears still on her face. "I... I remember now! I bumped into Vic coming out of the lounge. We were face to face..."Her words came out fast, like she was struggling to remember. "He introduced himself. He said he was the new COO...""Yes! Exactly!" Brenda shrieked, pointing at me. "Vic, how long are you gonna drag this out?! My niece made it crystal clear!"Watching this aunt and niece tag-team their lies was laughable. Did they really think making up details on the fly would save their story?I knew damn well the 26th-floor hallway and balcony were blind spots for the security cameras. That was exactly why they felt so confident spinning this web of lies.Too bad they underestimat

I shrugged off my jacket and tossed it carelessly over the defendant’s chair.You could hear a pin drop in the courtroom.All eyes were glued to me—wary, disgusted, waiting to see what tricks I had left.I met their glares and ripped open my black silk shirt.Without hesitation, I reached in and unhooked the binder that had suffocated my chest for ten damn years. Then, I reached to the nape of my neck and ripped off the heavy-duty scent patch.The moment the restraints fell away, my true, female form was exposed for everyone to see. At the same time, the sharp, freezing scent of cedar—the unmistakable pheromones of a pureblood female Alpha—hit the courtroom like a hurricane.A few female council members gasped, slapping hands over their mouths in shock. A couple of Beta guards standing too close buckled under the pure weight of my aura, dropping to their knees.I stared coldly at the plaintiff’s table.Brenda’s smug grin shattered like she’d just been backhanded.Chloe, who had been ba

"You idiots! Do you have any idea what you've done?!"A furious roar shattered the silence. Then, the entire gallery exploded.The same executives and Council members who were out for my blood a minute ago completely flipped. They frantically switched sides, hurling their most vicious curses and rage right at Brenda and Chloe."How dare you frame the True Alpha with a fake report!""This is treason! It's a death sentence!""You insolent fools! You're a disgrace to the entire pack!"A tsunami of insults drowned the aunt and niece.The proof was undeniable. The true identity of the True Alpha was fully exposed. Their vicious, carefully crafted lie turned to dust in the face of absolute power and truth.Brenda slumped against the plaintiff's table, her business suit soaked in cold sweat. Chloe was shaking so hard she couldn't even cry out loud, just curling into a ball of despair on her chair.Up on the bench, Judge Harrison was sweating bullets.He wiped his brow frantically with a handk
