Chapter 2
Second, third…]
My tears fell uncontrollably, but my face felt numb to the pain.[]
I watched blankly as Kael tenderly examined Sera’s ankle.
Sera watched me smugly, her lips moving with each strike: “90, 91, 92…”
At 99, she spoke sweetly.
“Alpha, maybe that’s enough. Luna’s face is already swollen like a pig’s. She probably can’t enter the ceremony anyway.”
Kael signaled the enforcers to stop while warning me:]
“Behave. After we complete the severance, you can do whatever you want.“]
I was practically dragged to Kael’s car.
I begged him to let me make one phone call
“If I don’t request leave, they’ll consider it contempt of the committee. I’ll be blacklisted for life.“]
Ile knew this award was my mother’s dying wish, an honor I’d worked eight years to achieve.
Meeting my reddened eyes, Kael’s expression was coldly indifferent
ΙΠ
your heart, is some vanity award more important than a pup’s life?
“Selene, when did you become so shallow!”
I stared at him, laughing bitterly.
“Fine. I don’t want the award.”
No one saw my clenched fists, nails piercing my palms.]]
What I lost, he would repay with everything he owned!]
After filing for bond severance, we just had to wait through the cooling period for ipto become official.]
Kael seemed in excellent spirits
Glancing at my swollen face, he softened his voice.
“Does it still hurt?“]
I ignored him and went to the pack hospital alone.
By the time I returned pack house, it was evening.]
I tried my fingerprint on the door three times – none worked.
The next second, the door opened from inside.
Sera emerged wearing a revealing nightgown. Luna, I’m pregnant and Kael was afraid I’d do something desperate, so he insisted I stay here where he can watch me constantly.“[]
“I said it was too unfair to you, but he said as long as I’m not wronged, that’s all that matters.“]]
“I really can’t handle him.“]
This villa was called Moonhaven, built for me. It was Kael’s mating gift.
My eyes burned with unshed tears. I lifted my head, forcing them back.[]
From inside came Kael’s voice [
Little vixen, when I catch you, I’m going to devour you completely.”
Through the crack, I saw Kael blindfolded, groping around searching for Sern
Sera laughed contemptuously, her voice challenging
“If Luna wants a turn, I could let you have one.”
“Though Kael says he has no desire for you anymore, he’s blindfolded now. He probably wouldn’t notice if we switched.”
Fighting nausea, I replied, “No thanks. So disgusting.”
I spent the night at a nearby chamber.
The next day, a video hit trending topics
“Explosive! Supreme Alpha’s stamina amazing, plowing all night for love.”
The drone footage showed the penthouse floor–to–ceiling windows. Kael had Sera pressed against the glass in various heart–racing positions.
The comments section nearly crashed.
Everyone assumed the woman in the video was me.
Then the Research Institute director called, furious about my absence from the ceremony and inappropriate behavior. With reporters swarming the institute, they had to suspend me.
I rushed to the institute to find pictures of me and Kael in intimate positions at various locations plastered everywhere.
I was completely naked while Kael’s face was never shown.[]
Netizens unanimously decided I was promiscuous, servicing different men nightly, unfit for research.
The institute, to calm public outrage, had to temporarily suspend me.[]
But the director trusted me, staking his personal reputation as guarantee while I gathered evidence for a press conference.]]
