Chapter 2 Second , third … ] My tears fell uncontrollably , but my face felt numb to the pain . [ ] I watched blankly as Kael tenderly examined Sera's ankle . Sera watched me smugly , her lips moving with each strike : " 90 , 91 , 92 … " At 99 , she spoke sweetly . " Alpha , maybe that's enough . Luna's face is already swollen like a pig's . She probably can't enter the ceremony anyway . " Kael signaled the enforcers to stop while warning me : ] " Behave . After we complete the severance , you can do whatever you want . " ] I was practically dragged to Kael's car . I begged him to let me make one phone call " If I don't request leave , they'll consider it contempt of the committee . I'll be blacklisted for life . " ] Ile knew this award was my mother's dying wish , an honor I'd worked eight years to achieve . Meeting my reddened eyes , Kael's expression was coldly indifferent ΙΠ your heart , is some vanity award more important than a pup's life ? " Selene , when did you become so shallow ! " I stared at him , laughing bitterly . " Fine . I don't want the award . " No one saw my clenched fists , nails piercing my palms . ] ] What I lost , he would repay with everything he owned ! ] After filing for bond severance , we just had to wait through the cooling period for ipto become official . ] Kael seemed in excellent spirits Glancing at my swollen face , he softened his voice . " Does it still hurt ? " ] I ignored him and went to the pack hospital alone . By the time I returned pack house , it was evening . ] I tried my fingerprint on the door three times - none worked . The next second , the door opened from inside . Sera emerged wearing a revealing nightgown . Luna , I'm pregnant and Kael was afraid I'd do something desperate , so he insisted I stay here where he can watch me constantly . " [ ] " I said it was too unfair to you , but he said as long as I'm not wronged , that's all that matters . " ] ] " I really can't handle him . " ] This villa was called Moonhaven , built for me . It was Kael's mating gift . My eyes burned with unshed tears . I lifted my head , forcing them back. [ ] From inside came Kael's voice [ Little vixen , when I catch you , I'm going to devour you completely . " Through the crack , I saw Kael blindfolded , groping around searching for Sern Sera laughed contemptuously , her voice challenging "If Luna wants a turn , I could let you have one . " " Though Kael says he has no desire for you anymore , he's blindfolded now . He probably wouldn't notice if we switched . " Fighting nausea , I replied , " No thanks . So disgusting . " I spent the night at a nearby chamber . The next day , a video hit trending topics " Explosive ! Supreme Alpha's stamina amazing , plowing all night for love . " The drone footage showed the penthouse floor - to - ceiling windows . Kael had Sera pressed against the glass in various heart - racing positions . The comments section nearly crashed . Everyone assumed the woman in the video was me . Then the Research Institute director called , furious about my absence from the ceremony and inappropriate behavior . With reporters swarming the institute , they had to suspend me . I rushed to the institute to find pictures of me and Kael in intimate positions at various locations plastered everywhere . I was completely naked while Kael's face was never shown . [ ] Netizens unanimously decided I was promiscuous , servicing different men nightly , unfit for research . The institute , to calm public outrage , had to temporarily suspend me . [ ] But the director trusted me , staking his personal reputation as guarantee while I gathered evidence for a press conference . ] ]
