And then, she started to kneel.
The pack hospital was buzzing
with movement, the streets
outside packed with gawking
onlookers. Whispers drifted
through the air, fingers pointed,
but Emily didn’t seem to notice
any of it. Her entire focus was
on kneeling–again and again,
bowing lower each time.
I paused, then slowly rolled
down the car window.

To my surprise, Emily’s eyes
lit up the second she saw me.
She crawled over on her knees,
staying low, desperate.
I watched her pathetic show of
submission, my voice cutting
like ice.
“Familiar scene, isn’t it?”
She froze, breath catching.
I leaned in slightly, my voice low
and razor–sharp.

“Three years ago, when I first met you… you looked just like
this–groveling.”
“You got down on your knees for tuition money. Bowed to
me during every holiday, every

gratitude was.”

“People like you? You’re the

You won’t take a damn thing.”

“Your knees are filthier than the

submission means nothing.”
Her face drained of color, her
expression frozen in stunned
silence.
Suddenly, she turned to Aidan.
“Alpha King, I’m younger than
Isolde I can do whatever she
does!”

Clutching at her last shred of
hope, her voice trembled.
“Alpha Aidan, please… just give
me a chance!”
Aidan didn’t flinch. His expres-

said nothing, just rolled the
window up.
The car drove off, leaving Lucas
frozen like a statue… and Emily
still kneeling in the dust.

Allied packs and business part-
ners came down on them like
a storm, driven by vengeance.
Lucas had been the spark–and now, he was the target of their
fury.
He cost them fortunes. Now
they were here to collect.
Golden Crescent was gutted

Lucas was cast out, dethroned, no longer Alpha. Just another

And Emily? She finally exhaled,
thinking she’d dodged a bullet.

She avoided the Bonding Ritual
with Lucas–escaped being tied
to his financial disaster. She
clawed for relevance, latching
onto rich men, trying to secure
a new place at the table. But her name was already toxic. No one
with real power would even look
at her.

It was useless.
The video of her kneeling
outside the hospital went viral, spreading like wildfire. Her shame became public domain.
Even low–ranking Omegas whispered about her betrayal-
how she sold out the Luna who
once lifted her up.
The backlash was swift. Brutal.

And just like Lucas, she was
drowning in debt.
Months passed, and I found out
I was pregnant.
Aidan was with me for every
check–up.
One morning, as we stepped out of the pack hospital, I saw them
-two figures digging through a
pile of garbage.
Lucas and Emily.

Our eyes met for half a second.
I caught a flash of hatred in
theirs. But the moment they
noticed the Enforcer at my side, they looked away and scurried
off like rats in daylight.
I turned to Aidan, confused.
“Even after everything… how
did they end up this low?”
His voice was calm, detached.

Two years later, the news broke.
Two bodies were found on a
park bench. The Council ruled
them vagrants. Cause of death

stances in their system. The IDs
came back: Emily and Lucas.

I was already distracted by the
Little Howler tugging at my
sleeve at the door.
He wasn’t even two and a half

talk–messy, adorable words
that melted my heart.
“Mama! Mama! Hurry up, or
we’ll miss Daddy’s plane!”
I let out a soft laugh.

What’s even more ironic,

I ran into my husband accom-
