( 0 ) Chapter 22 Chapter 22 That evening , after returning home , Thea stood by the window of their pack house , watching the moon rise .
These quiet moments always filled her with gratitude .
After the pain of her past with Kieran , she had found not just healing , but true happiness with Magnus .
He had proved himself different from other Alphas never taking her for granted , always treating her with reverence and care .
Magnus approached from behind , wrapping his arms around her waist .
Whats on your mind , my love ? Just counting my blessings , she replied softly , leaning back against him .
Youve given me everything I once thought impossible true love , a beautiful daughter , a real home .
Her words seemed to make him tense slightly , but she dismissed it as fatigue from his long day managing the pack .
If only she had known that behind his loving facade , guilt and secrets were already eating away at their perfect life .
The illusion of their happiness shattered mere hours later when Emma burst through their homes doors in tears .
Gone was the playful pup from dinner , replaced by a trembling child who clutched at her mothers robes .
The sight of her usually spirited daughter in such distress instantly awakened Theas protective instincts .
Mama , please dont make me go back to Little Alpha Wolf Academy , Emma begged through her sobs , her small form shaking as she tried to hide her wolfs tail behind her body .
These private school fees had been a point of tension between Thea and Magnus , but she had insisted on maintaining their daughters education despite the packs dwindling resources .
Theas gentle demeanor remained , but her wolf stirred with growing concern .
As she moved closer to comfort her daughter , the metallic scent of blood reached her sensitive nose .
With the same careful hands that had been managing pack finances late into the night , she examined her daughter , discovering cruel cuts marking the young wolfs tail , patches of fur torn away to reveal pink , wounded flesh .
Her hands , which had grown stronger than Magnus knew from bearing so many hidden burdens , now clenched in barely contained rage .
Theas eyes , usually soft as moonlight , hardened like ice as she pulled out her phone .
Her fingers trembled slightly as she snapped a photo and posted it to the parents group : Who hurt my daughter ? This masterpiece was of course done by my wonderful son .
He did exactly what I told him to , Ashley replied instantly , with an emoji of a wolf squinting in mockery .
Dont worry , I have a surprise waiting for you here ! Ashley continued to send messages .
Then came two photos that stopped my heart .
One showed my Alpha at a Luna Ceremony with her .
The other was a family photo of me , my daughter , and my Alpha .
Karmas a bitch , isnt it ? Thats what happens when you steal someones Alpha and have his bastard .
Consider yourself lucky my boy didnt do worse .
To follow the ancient tradition , my son has the right to bite your punks neck .
11 The group chat exploded .
Parents Id known for months turned vicious , attacking me and my daughter .
Even Mrs.
Thompson , my daughters teacher , jumped in : Tyler will become an excellent Alpha in the future ! Ashley ! Extra star for him tomorrow Ashley couldnt resist If youve got a problem , come face me .
We at school Caless youre scared … I strapped my daughter into the car and texted my lawyers Get divorce papers ready , Use the prenup , I want Magnus out with nothing Tell him to his ass out there and become a rogue wolf immediately ! My daughter was attacked at school , Send a team now .
Teach those stupid the ones the lesson they deserve ! Cant believe that leech had a mistress while living off my money , * How dare this masked clown , who only masquerades as a successful man because of my family , have an illegitimate child ? At Alpha Wolf Cub Academy , I found Ashley surrounded by her new fan club .
Ashley , youre so modest ! We had no idea your Alpha is the Alpha of the Steele Pack ! No wonder you always seemed different .
Thats real class ! Were all behind you .
Cant let gold diggers like her win .
Right ? Tylers the real heir to Steele Pack .
He has shown leadership skills and a strong body that belongs to an Alpha ! Mrs.
Thompson was practically bowing : In the future , I will serve Young Master Tyler with all my heart ! I will be the exclusive nanny of the future Alpha .
Ashley enjoys all the glory that belongs to Steele Packs Luna .
So funny .

The Steele Pack was indeed once a pack steeped in history and tradition .
However , it had already fallen into decline before Magnus took control .
Magnus excelled at crafting the image of a successful Alpha in social settings with his 16.9 % well tailored suits , refined manners , and charming demeanor .
Yet this was all an elaborately constructed deception .
The Steele Pack had become nothing more than an empty shell .
Though Magnus held the title of Alpha , the packs operations relied entirely on financial support from Theas family pack .
Now Ashley was using it to play queen bee .
When they saw me , their friendly faces turned to distort as if I were some foul smelling animal .
Mrs.
Thompson stepped forward , ice in her voice : Emma is expelled .
Effective immediately .
My daughter gets attacked and you expel her ? I shot back .
This is an elite school , she said coldly .
We cant have our reputation ruined by … certain people .
Incompetent pups like her were only worthy of scrubbing toilets for the Alpha in the future and didnt need to learn the ropes .
My voice went deadly quiet : You might want to check who the real mistress is before you talk .
I didnt finish .
Ashleys hand cracked across my face .
How dare you show your face here ? Did you think giving birth to that cowardly wolf would make you the next Luna of the Steele Pack ? ♡ ( 0 )
