I looked at Isabella coldly . " Your mother was bonded to my father , but because of her lowborn status , the mate bond was severed . Later , my mother died , and our father lied , claiming she gave birth to twins and brought you back to Silver Creek . " The purity of Silver Creek blood is determined by the maternal line . Isabella ... your birth mother was a low- ranking wolf who had been exiled . You possess no pure Silver Creek blood . " Liam's fury erupted . He lunged forward , hands clamping around Isabella's throat . Arthur immediately ordered the guards to intervene . Liam laughed and cried at once , full of despair . " So all my schemes ... all my meticulous planning ... it was all for nothing ! Isabella ... you liar ! How dare you deceive me ! " 1/2 Chapter 7 +25 BONUS Even being strangled , Isabella sneered defiantly . " And you ? Where does that leave you ? Elena is the one with the pure bloodline , yet you abandoned her just to impersonate Jacob ! You're the truly foolish one ! " " You knew the Moon Goddess ' Tear would reject you ! You knew your blood was impure ! You knew everything- and yet you said nothing ! " Liam screamed , kicking Isabella to the ground . " Because I want to be Luna ! " Isabella's mask dropped . Her eyes burned with resentment . " I want power ! I want status ! Why was Elena born with everything , while I had nothing ? I am of Silver Creek blood too ! Why should I be beneath her ? " Watching these former allies tear each other apart , a surge of satisfaction rose in my chest . Liam spun around and sank to his knees before me , his eyes filled with regret and despair . " Elena ! I was wrong ! It was all Isabella ! She deceived me ! I was blinded by her ! " I had my reasons ... I had always intended to return to you once I became Alpha . Please forgive me ! Come back to me ! I'll do anything if you forgive me ! " I bent down slightly , looking at him with calm eyes . " Really ? " He nodded frantically . I knew full well that impersonating the Alpha heir meant he would face the pack's harshest punishment . Yet if he returned to me , he could gain the Moon Goddess ' recognition and become Alpha . After the betrayal I endured in my past life , there was no way I would let him succeed . Gazing at his hopeful eyes , I said, " I hope you suffer thoroughly ... and die soon . " Liam's face contorted in rage . " Elena , you wretched woman ! You're unworthy to be my mate ! " Kael stepped forward , shielding me and covering my ears . He murmured , " Elena ... let's go . "
