Chapter 10 Turns out , it was my dad who made the final move . When I asked him why , he simply shrugged and said , " What choice did I have ? We tried to handle it the honorable way . Talked to Alexis like civilized wolves . But he wouldn't listen ." At first , Alexis had only siphoned off small amounts from the company - nothing too bold , nothing that couldn't be swept under the rug . And my dad , ever the old - school Alpha with a soft spot for loyalty , had quietly patched those holes without causing a scene . But legally , that made things murky . Nothing clean enough to bite him with . Then Alexis got cocky . 1/12 Chapter 10 + 5 Points He went all in - stole a fortune in one reckless move . That was the mistake . And that was all the opening my dad needed . He didn't hesitate . Called the enforcers . This time , the Pack Council got involved . Not even a Gamma from the outer territories could wiggle out of this one . The begging started right after . Alexis sent message after message . He even had the gall to call my father , whimpering for mercy like a kicked pup . Dad answered . Not to negotiate - but to make one thing very clear : we weren't backing down . This wasn't just about stolen money 2/12 Chapter 10 + 5 Points anymore . It was about betrayal - of our family , our trust , and the bond the Moon Goddess had once supposedly blessed . With no way out , Alexis snapped . And that perfect couple act he and Cecilia had been performing ? It crumbled in an instant . Right in front of the police . Right in front of the livestream still running on that forgotten phone . They turned on each other like rabid wolves . Alexis snarled at Cecilia , spittle flying . " You ruined me ! I was supposed to marry the Silverpine Pack's princess ! I'd be living like royalty in the Burgess estate right now . But 3/12 Chapter 10 +5 Points look at me - I'm ruined ! " Cecilia shrieked back just as loud . " You think you're some Alpha male now ? You dragged me into this mess ! You used stolen money for our wedding ! You're a joke . I want a divorce ! " Too late . The marriage license had already been signed before the embezzlement . And the money ? It funded their fairytale wedding . Which meant , legally speaking - they were both on the hook . So they were both hauled away . Still screaming , still blaming each other , all while 4/12 Chapter 10 +5 Points the livestream rolled on , broadcasting their downfall to tens of thousands of stunned viewers . The comments ? Pure chaos . In the end , Alexis was sentenced to ten years . Even after everything was seized - his property , her designer wardrobe , even the gold - plated centerpiece from their wedding- he still couldn't repay what he owed . A few weeks later , the enforcers reached out to me . They said Alexis wasn't doing well . Mentally unstable . They asked if I wanted to visit , maybe get some closure . I went . Not because I cared - but because I 5/12 Chapter 10 +5 Points needed to see it for myself . Behind the bars , Alexis stared at me like he was seeing the Moon for the first time in weeks . Wild , unblinking . Half - lost to madness . " Eloise ," he whispered , voice shaking , " I knew you'd come . You still love me , right ? We can still get married . We're still family. I'm still Alexis - the one meant for luxury , for greatness … " I didn't flinch . Didn't even feel anger . Just … nothing . " No , Alexis ," I said quietly . " I came to see if you'd really gone insane . Because if you have , well - lunatics don't go to prison ." That finally shut him up . 6/12 Chapter 10 + 5 Points The guards told me later he cracked completely after that . Now he spends his days muttering to himself , rocking back and forth in his cell , convinced he's still the Burgess family's son - in - law . That he belongs in a silk robe , sipping fine wine , not locked in a concrete cage . But me ? I stopped caring a long time ago . Whether it's a padded cell or a prison block , neither one smells like paradise .. As for Cecilia ? She got lucky . Avoided prison thanks to a good lawyer and a pitiful look in court . But the internet ? 7/12 Chapter 10 +5 oints The internet has no mercy . Her influencer career burned to ash in less than a week . Sponsors pulled out . Followers vanished . Her face became a meme , and not the funny kind . She disappeared soon after . Crawled back to some no - name rural town , where the Wi - Fi barely works and no one knows her name . No one talks about her anymore . And honestly ? That's exactly how it should be . They're both yesterday's garbage . Not worth another howl . What is worth talking about ? What came after . 8/12 Chapter 10 + 5 oints The wedding dress - the moonlight silk one Cecilia wore in those photos - went viral . Everyone wanted to know who designed it . Who could craft something so elegant , so radiant , even in the hands of a thief . When the truth came out , I got a call from the headquarters of Aurum Bridal - the most exclusive werewolf bridal house in the world . They offered me a job . Chief Designer . I accepted without hesitation . So when autumn came , I walked away from the shadows of betrayal , heartbreak , and lies . And I stepped into the golden light of my own future - head held high , heart unburdened , and fangs sharpened for 9/12 Chapter 10 + 5 Points whatever came next . The End Book 2 : My daughter, Adalia , successfully awakened the powerful wolf spirit in her blood during her coming - of - age ceremony . As a reward for her achievement , I ordered her an exclusive armored off - road vehicle . On the day of the pickup , a woman , who was clearly trying to charm her way into the graces of the elite , was sitting in Adalia's car . Adalia roared in fury , " Get out of my car! What gives you the right to even touch it ?! " The woman dismissively tossed aside a token emblazoned with our Blackmaw Pack's 10/12 Chapter 10 +5 Points insignia - something that belonged to my mate , Damien . She arrogantly cawed , " My mate is Beta Damien of the Blackmaw Pack ! No matter how much this clunker costs , I'd throw in an extra million dollars ! " As her words hit the air , all eyes turned to her like moths to a flame . Some even pulled out their phones , ready to capture this spectacle . I could hardly contain my laughter in sheer disbelief . Why wasn't I aware that Damien had another mate ? Plus , that car cost the pack fifty million dollars an extra million ? Oh , my Moon Goddess , was she trying to throw scraps to a starving Rogue ? He was a man I'd pulled out of the mud , a 11/12 Chapter 10 + 5 Points fool who only gained his status by being my mate , and he dared to spend my money to keep a woman outside the pack ? And now he wanted to use my wealth to snatch a gift I intended for my daughter ? I let out a cold huff and called my Gamma to issue orders : " Prepare for the ceremony to sever the mate bond immediately . I want this treacherous dog thrown out of my pack and left with nothing , a true Rogue ! " 12/12
