Chapter 8 Night fell , and chaos erupted across the lane " Get her out ! You whore , you filthy thief ! " Vivian's shrieks rattled the den walls , echoing down the whole block . A heavy thud followed - the servant girl's luggage hurled into the corridor - then the sharp crack of a slap . Edward's furious snarl cut through the din . " Vivian ! Have you lost your mind ? Mira is carrying my pup ! If anything happens to her , I'll never forgive you ! " Vivian froze . Her eyes widened , then burned red as fury boiled over . " Pregnant ... ? " Her voice splintered into hysteria . " I sacrificed everything for you - my place among my kin , my standing in the pack ! I bore you sons , and now you betray me with her ? " Edward's gaze slid toward the corner where Nathan and Ethan cowered . His lip curled . " Clara refuses to let her sons claim me . And you " his voice dripped venom " -you gave me nothing but these broken whelps . Do you want the Stone bloodline to end in shame ?

" Why ? " Her voice cracked , jagged and broken . " Why are you my sons ? Why ? " Then came a scream - piercing , feral , enough to raise every hackle in earshot . " Ah ! It hurts - help me ! Help us ! " I grabbed my phone and summoned the Wardens , Minutes later , five of them pounded at her door , the steel of their authority unmistakable . " Open up ! By the Alpha's decree ! Vivian dragged her feet , scowling as she cracked the door . " I've done nothing against the law . Why are you here ? " But the moment their eyes swept inside , their faces hardened . They shoved past her . Through my hallway cam , I saw it all . Ethan sprawled on the floor , blood streaking his face , the back of his skull caved in . " Help us ! " Nathan cried , pressing a towel desperately to his brother's wound , his hands trembling " She tried to kill him ! " The Wardens swept in , calling for the healers . Ethan was lifted onto a stretcher . Vivian was forced into the transport behind him , hissing like a cornered wolf . But the true blow came later .

That night , as I scrolled through the Pack Net , a video leapt to the top of the feed . First - person Raw . Vivian's face twisted on the screen , her voice a shrill dagger . I told you ! I have no coin ! Treat him or don't - I don't care ! " The healer's calm voice answered : " If we operate now , he can recover .

" You are their mother ! How can you be so cruel ? " She spat on the floor , eyes blazing . " Mother ? If not for these cursed whelps , I would never have fallen this low ! Better if they'd never been born ! " Her cry rose into a banshee's wail before collapsing into hoarse sobs , her body shaking on the cold stone floor . The clip spread like wildfire , flooding the Pack Net and the human channels alike . The White Moon darling , once envied by every she - wolf , was no longer a goddess . She was a monster laid bare .
