Mighty Female Alpha, Fearless of Betrayal Chapter 07
“Those aren’t what they look like. She manipulated me. She came after me, she threatened me. You’re the one I love. You’ve always been the only one.”Â
“She threatened you into the baby swap too? She held a knife to your throat while you helped planÂ
it?”Â
“Ethan. A real father doesn’t use his own child as aÂ
chess piece. What you two did, you’re not even inÂ
the same category as an animal.”Â
He shuddered all the way through. Opened hisÂ
mouth. I didn’t let him get a word out.Â
“You came for my family’s money. You came for my rank. You did everything you could to destroy me, and you used an innocent pup to do it. YouÂ
think the Moon Goddess doesn’t see that?”Â
Ethan collapsed against the pavement, gray–faced,Â
nothing left to say.Â
His hands shook as he signed.Â
But neither of them was finished.Â
Three days later, they went live on WolfNet, theÂ
private streaming channel that runs across every pack in the country.Â
Vivian appeared on camera with her face stillÂ
swollen and wan, tears streaming before she even spoke.Â
“Aurora doesn’t see people like us as real. SheÂ
uses her Alpha title like a weapon. She’s been making my life miserable since the day I got close to her pack.”Â
“I was carrying ten pups. Ten. And she showed up screaming at me while I was already on the edge. I went into early labor because of her. I lost all ofÂ
them.”Â
She pressed her hands to her face, voice dissolving into sobs.Â
“My babies. I’m so sorry. Mama couldn’t protectÂ
you.”Â
Ethan sat beside her, jaw tight, eyes red.Â
“I wasn’t enough to shield her. Aurora’s had other wolves on the side for years. I put up with itÂ
because I thought the bond meant something toÂ
her. I was wrong.”Â
They sold it perfectly. The grief looked real. TheÂ
outrage looked earned.Â
Comments detonated across the stream.Â
“Money doesn’t buy class. Poor girl.”Â
“Which pack is this? Name her. Alphas like thatÂ
need to be voted out.”Â
#AlphaAurora hit the top of WolfNet trendingÂ
within the hour.Â
Someone dug up photos of me during a normal guarded outing and edited them into something unrecognizable. Suddenly I was spotted withÂ
multiple unknown males.Â
Right. Because an Alpha traveling with her security detail is front–page scandal.Â
The wave hit hard. My family’s pack–affiliatedÂ
business holdings dropped back–to–back. The market cap bled out tens of millions overnight.Â
The Alpha King’s office reached out. They wanted.Â
the situation contained before it spread further.Â
Then Ethan showed up at my estate.Â
He stood at the back entrance like he still had aÂ
right to be there, chin up, arms crossed. Asked toÂ
see me.Â
I came out. He looked me over slowly, eyesÂ
dragging from my face down and back up, withÂ
that mix of hunger and entitlement that made meÂ
want to put him through the wall.Â
We’d severed the mate bond. But the echo of itÂ
was still there, a residual pull that didn’t know theÂ
bond was gone.Â
I’d kept up my regimen through the pregnancy. Yoga, walking, nutrition. Aside from the visible. bump, I looked stronger than I had before.Â
He smiled like he thought that was for him.Â
“Here’s what I’m offering. One hundred million. dollars and one night with you, and I go live tomorrow to clear your name. I’ll walk backÂ
everything.”Â
“Otherwise? I keep feeding the fire until yourÂ
businesses crater and the council strips your title.”Â
I almost laughed in his face. “Keep dreaming.”
