Chapter 10 On the day of Alpha Cynthia ‘ birthday , I was awakened by the noise outside. The Ambersy Pack’s Packhouse was seldom this lively ; even on my birthday , it was just a family gathering . My parents insisted that inviting others would feel forced , as I didn’t know them well . Back then , I foolishly believed them , chalking it up to my social awkwardness . Ridiculous . Without the opportunity , how could I ever meet them? The obedient me back then wasn’t even angry and barely participated in Alpha Cynthia ‘ birthday celebrations . But today is different . I applied my boldest red lipstick , slipped into the custom dress I ordered a few days ago , and exposed my injured left arm completely . With a prepared USB drive in hand , I headed directly downstairs . Everyone was surprised to see me , especially Alpha Cynthia . “ Emma ? ” Alpha Cynthia’s voice , sugary sweet and sharp as glass , stopped me near the main hall . “ What are you doing here ? ” “ Celebrating your birthday , dear sister . I smiled at her , but my eyes were icy cold . Seeing me all dolled up , Alpha Cynthia could barely hold her smile together . Especially as whispers drifted around us . “ Isn’t that Alpha Graves ‘ biological daughter ? She’s stunning . “ No doubt , having those genes , she’s got such presence . Alpha Cynthia struggled to maintain her composure . She was about to say something , but the host of the birthday party had already called her name . She could only cast me a fierce glance before turning away and stepping onto the stage , resuming her sweet , innocent demeanor . A beautiful piano piece earned applause from the audience . She looked at me with pride . I smiled back , slid the USB drive into the computer controlling the large screen . “ So , did sister know it was I who hired the rogues ? ” A voice rang out clearer than ever through the high – priced speakers . Displayed on the screen was Alpha Cynthia in a face – to – face meeting with Alpha The first video played was of her confessing to hiring the roguess on that night . The audience began to buzz with chatter . “ How could she- ” “ Hiring rogues ? Against her own sister ? ” “ Truly , blood ties can’t be forged . How vicious ! ” Alpha Cynthia paled as she watched the video for a few seconds , covered her ears , and screamed . She rushed off the stage to the computer , trying to stop the video . But that USB drive had already been tampered with ; once started , it couldn’t be stopped . “ Emma ! What are you doing ?! ” My parents , seeing the video and then glancing at me by the computer , immediately realized I was behind this . “ You’re trying to ruin your sister ? Stop it immediately ! ” I gestured them to keep watching . The video had just reached the part where Alpha Cynthia threatened me . Upon hearing about her transferring The Ambersy Pack’s funds , Alpha Ginger immediately called the finance department to investigate . Within minutes , the suspicions were confirmed . They were still in shock when Alpha Cynthia , in tears , ran over pleading for their help . Alpha Ginger darkened , smacking her hard across the face . “ You ingrate ! Waste of all those years raising you ! ” Alpha Cynthia collapsed , looking at me with fury . “ This is all your fault ! ” she screamed . “ You spiteful bitch ! ” I stepped back , knowing the video wasn’t over yet . Turning slightly , Alpha Kennard stood between us . His eyes reddened , clutching my hand , glaring at Alpha Cynthia . “ I never thought you could stoop this low , ” he “ Framing Emma , stealing from the pack -disgusting . Then he turned to me , his expression softening . “ Emma , I didn’t mean to hide things from you , please believe me . I raised a hand to silence him . “ There’s more ,” I said , gesturing to the It was now showcasing what happened between him and Alpha Cynthia the night she got drunk . The room fell into stunned silence , then exploded into chaos . Yet , it wasn’t enough for me . I had to add more fuel to the fire . I signaled , and Alpha Kennard received a call . On hearing the quick report , he hung up , his hands trembling as his phone clattered to the ground . “ What’s wrong , Alpha Kennard ? ” I kindly picked up the phone for him . It was as if he suddenly realized . Alpha Kennard paled , clutching my arm . “ You … you set me up ,” he stammered . “ You’ve ruined me ! ” I shook free of his grip . “ If you hadn’t harbored rogues , abused wolfsbane , and committed countless crimes , there wouldn’t have been anything for me to expose ,” I said , my voice like steel . “ Thank yourself for handing me the opportunity . I raised my glass , toasting Gamma Bowman in the corner . Thanks to him help , I orchestrated the Wolf Doctor’s report against Alpha Kennard and presented his crimes to the Supreme Werewolf Council . He was the only one who didn’t overlook me at my recognition ceremony , and even The man who objected to my father’s decision to name Alpha Cynthia first in line of succession to The Ambersy Pack’s ALPHA . Even if the end result didn’t change anything . Now , I’d repaid the favor . Amidst the chaos , my heart never felt lighter .
