I pushed the check back toward him."I'm not the one who should be taking this."Alexander assumed I wanted more. His face darkened instantly. The Alpha pressure rolled off him in waves."Thirty thousand isn't enough for you?""Selena, let me make something clear. Your mother was a rogue wolf. The fact that she could trade her life for thirty thousand is the last bit of value she'll ever have. Don't push your luck."I shook my head. "You're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying it's too little.""I'm saying this money should go to you."Alexander's brow knotted tight. Disgust filled his eyes."Are you out of your mind?""That money came from selling your mother's body. What does that have to do with me?""You think everyone's like you? Living off something that sick?"Alexander was Isabella's only son.His father died in battle when he was young. Isabella raised him alone.To give her son the strength to become a powerful Alpha, she'd taken on countless dangerous pack missions in her you

Alexander ripped the contract to pieces on the spot.Shreds of paper drifted from his fingers. He stared at me with a look cold enough to kill."You want out that badly?""Fine. I'll give you what you want.""But the dissolution terms will be rewritten by me. I'll make sure you leave with nothing. You'll be the laughingstock of the entire pack."His jaw was clenched, every word laced with fury."And I'm going to make sure my mother sees exactly what kind of person her precious daughter-in-law really is.""A vile woman who used her own mother's death to extort money. Who harassed the Elder Council. Who persecuted an innocent healer just to line her own pockets."Through the storm of paper scraps, I saw the viciousness in his eyes. And I saw Claire, head bowed, with a flash of triumph she didn't quite hide.I said nothing.I turned and walked out of the pack affairs hall.Back at the house, I packed my things in silence.The engagement was dead. There was no reason to stay.But the momen

People started whispering. Some didn't even bother hiding the contempt in their eyes."Alexander's right. People like her shouldn't get off easy!""She'd cause a scene at the Healing Sanctuary over some petty grudge? Does she think the pack's rules are a joke?""Poor Claire. She's just an apprentice healer, and she's being hounded like this.""So what if that old wolf is dead? Doesn't she still have family? The money she scammed out of people should be paid back by her entire clan!""Someone like that deserves to be shunned by the whole pack!"The insults came one after another.Alexander stood in the center of the crowd, listening to the mounting outrage, and a look of satisfaction crept across his face. Something he'd never shown before.He'd handled plenty of pack affairs in the past. He'd even sat in on Elder Council rulings.But never once had this many pack members rallied behind him.In that moment, he truly felt like the hero defending the pack's order.But he'd forgotten that

On one hand, Alexander was hurling threats at me. On the other, with Claire's guidance, he kept piling layer after layer of so-called "evidence" onto the treatment incident.He even had someone pull the surveillance footage from the Healing Sanctuary that day.But by the time that footage reached his hands, it had been cut beyond recognition.The part where Isabella, wearing a mask, had personally told Claire about her moonfern allergy before entering the Sanctuary was completely deleted.The footage of Claire adding moonfern into the medication during preparation was also removed.All that remained was the masked Isabella lying on the treatment table receiving the medication, followed by the sudden onset of a severe reaction.Then, misleading narration was deliberately overlaid onto the footage."Please note, the patient did not inform the apprentice healer of any special contraindications after entering the Healing Sanctuary.""The healer followed standard treatment protocol, yet the

The moment he saw me standing in the crowd, Alexander's eyes went red.He shot to his feet and pointed at me, the rage he'd been holding back finally exploding."Selena, I was just about to come find you!""You actually have the nerve to show up here and slander me and Claire in front of all these people?"His eyes bored into me. "Where is my mother?"Claire put on a bewildered expression."Alexander, what's going on?""Mrs. Isabella... is missing?"Alexander's face darkened with grief.He nodded heavily."Ever since Selena left my territory, I haven't been able to reach my mother.""Her room is empty. The attendants have no idea where she went.""I've been trying to contact her through the Mind-link every day, but there's never a response."By this point, his eyes were rimmed with red."My mother raised me on her own. The bond between us runs deep. She would never disappear like this without a word. She'd never leave without telling me something."Then, he suddenly thrust his hand tow
