Chapter 7 Crushed beneath the weight of survival , Vivian finally took a job But she had never worked a day in her life . For more than twenty years she had survived on Edward's protection and the Stones coin . No respectable pack business would hire her . In the end , she found work in a human tavern - scrubbing dishes . She came home each night drenched in grease and resentment . And she unleashed it all on Nathan and Ethan . Through the thin walls of the den , I could hear the lashings and the screams : Ethan's mindless wails , Nathan's desperate pleas . It didn't take long for others to notice . On the pack's territory channel , neighbors began tagging her name : " 402 , stop beating your pups every night ! Are you even their mother ? " " Exactly . It's bad enough you're keeping the whole block awake . You're terrifying our children too . " " I've seen those boys - one in a chair , one not right in the head . Maybe it's your beatings that broke them . " And where did those two suddenly come from , after all these years ? " Once the gossip started , it spread like wildfire . I scrolled through the channel with a smile , watching the rumors bloom . At last , Vivian snapped back . " They're my pups ! I'll discipline them however I want . The rest of you can choke on your own filth ! " The elegant , graceful Luna everyone once envied was gone . What remained was a shrieking shrew , claws bared . And while Vivian worked nights , Edward stayed home - with the servant girl . They made no effort to hide their trysts , even with Nathan and Ethan still inside the den . I decided it was time to add fuel to the fire . The next day , I mounted a small camera above my door . Fo From there , it was easy to capture Edward slipping in and out with his new toy , arms around her waist , lips on her throat . Neighbors saw , but no one dared sprak Yet even those who had once pitied Vivian now pulled away , disgust etched on their faces after hearing her beatings and seeing her humiliation The whole block whispered about Edward's betrayal - everyone except Vivian , still blind in her rage . I cut the footage carefully , stitching together a neat little montage of Edward's nights with the servant girl . Then , using a false account , I posted it to the channel . The effect I was instant . " Moon above , this family is filthier than a gutter . " " Can't even keep their howls down at night , now this ? " Acruel mother , a faithless father , two cursed pups . Tragic . " I added my own touch , slipping in a message : " What betrayal ? Don't you know ? Vivian was a mistress from the start . " Chapter 7 And just like that , the story twisted again . I released the final blow - a recording from the Rising Ceremony , captured by the pack videographer . I blurred myself and my leaving only Edward , Vivian , and their disgrace on full display . The channel erupted . " Unbelievable . They faked their deaths , abandoned their pups , and forced the rightful Luna to raise them . " " And when they came back , they tried to snatch what wasn't theirs . Shameless . " " Ha ! They thought they'd inherit two warriors from the Royal Academy ... instead they got cripples , " For once , Vivian stayed silent . No curses , no rants . She had been dragged from her pedestal and into the mud , with the entire pack watching
