Karma served me Love Has No Turning Back and this one is a cold, methodical revenge you don't see coming.

Audrey and Harrison were bound for five years by a mate contract between their families. She endured the neglect. She endured McKenzie's constant interference. She endured losing her child. And when the dissolution papers were signed on her behalf, and she was publicly humiliated, she finally stopped waiting.

Nathaniel helped her gather evidence. Complete the legal and pack procedures. Fight back against the slander and tampered records. And then she broke free from the Cole family – completely.

Harrison only realized what he owed her after she was gone. But Audrey wasn't waiting for an apology.

This is peak getting-back-at-ex revenge with a heroine who fights with facts, not tears. If you love stories where the overlooked wife finally takes back her power, watch this.

— K, karma is a dish best served on screen 🥂

00:05Fine. I'm sorry. Is that what you wanted?
00:10Audrey, what kind of attitude is that?
00:13You need to apologize to Kenzie and to everyone here.
00:17Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable,
00:20that you overreact because of our working relationship.
00:23I know you only acted on impulse. I forgive you.
00:26So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating, most private feelings inside our marriage.
00:30In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
00:34Fine, since that is what you all think.
00:36I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across her face with all my strength.
00:40She screamed and fell to the floor.
00:42I bent down, grabbed her by the collar and pulled hard.
00:44The expensive pinion gown tore with a sharp ring.
00:49Help! Harrison, save me!
00:50The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
00:53It was Harrison's hand. I crashed onto the marble floor.
00:56The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column, and my vision darkened and waved.
00:59My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep water,
01:03even making breathing feel slow.
01:04My still-recovering body grew cold.
01:06The wolf state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
01:10Have you caused enough trouble?
01:13Strength.
01:14Two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped down on both my arms.
01:17I struggled desperately, but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
01:22But the instant he let go, the strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my t-shirt,
01:26tearing the entire piece of fabric from my shoulder.
01:29A large expanse of skin in my bra strap were closed directly under the gaze of Washington's political indisciplines.
01:34Do not touch me! Get away!
01:36Elle clutched my chest tightly, but it was already too late.
01:39People around us raised their phones.
01:41Camera flashes burst one after another.
01:43Those judging, curious, contemptuous.
01:45Loading eyes were like helpless hands, hanging in place, ripping me apart in triage.
01:49The scrutiny of every werewolf in the front flushed together to like a bear we breathe.
01:53Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.
01:55His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.
01:58As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control.
02:02Madwoman claimed I was.
02:04As if he had completely forgotten that under PAC law,
02:06allowing outsiders to publicly humiliate one still bound,
02:09mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
02:12I finally could not stop myself from crying,
02:14just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me whole.
02:17The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.
02:22On the day I ended our mate contract,
02:24I showed up at the international airport.
02:26One secretly taken photo caused an uppour among several major east coast PAC spouse groups.
02:32No one knew this was not an ordinary breakup.
02:34This was the first step toward ending the alliance mating contract between two ancient PACs.
02:40Once the received had entered the PAC register,
02:42and the elders witnessed the rejection pact,
02:44five leaders of the new coal family could be raised for good.
02:47Brother, your ex-Lina looks like a movie star.
02:52But you have to take a look at this scene.
02:54But you know how?
02:55How did you want the demon by you?
02:57Harrison stared at the woman on the screen
02:58while she walked away with her luggage.
03:00His face changed.
03:02He immediately called it!
03:03And, I believe that.
03:05Oh, the termination papers.
03:08I walked into your proud account.
03:09It is not like you have treated me as your real contractor, right?
03:19Harrison and I were bound together by an alliance between two ancient werewolf maps.
03:23I carried the title of Future Luna and waited for him for five years.
03:27But in those five years, we never truly completed the Mabont.
03:30He treated me colder than he would treat a complete stranger.
03:33When I needed 17 stitches after a car accident, he replied with only one word, noted.
03:39Only later did I learn that Kenzie had been replying to my messages for him all those years.
03:43He said Kenzie was half one of him, his most capable radar.
03:46That was the moment I finally understood.
03:49He was not cold. He had simply given all his warmth to another woman
03:52until the pup in my womb could not be saved because of bloodline complications.
03:56After the healer wing gave the final diagnosis, I lay on the operating table and sent him one last message.
04:02I am at the healer wing. Our pup cannot be saved.
04:06The surgery is about to begin.
04:10A reply came back quickly. One word, noted.
04:14I stared at that one word for a long time.
04:17Long enough for the unfinished marking on my neck to grow cold.
04:21Strictly speaking, Harrison and I had never truly been mates.
04:25No Luna ceremony. No elder witness. No claiming bite.
04:29Not even one formal baiting oath.
04:37In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future Luna.
04:42The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.
04:46Waited for the day he would truly accept me.
04:50Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.
04:53The healer called my emergency contact again and again, but every call went to voicemail.
04:57That fragile mate bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.
05:00When I woke up, the board was empty.
05:02But Harrison's profile had just been updated.
05:04Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.
05:08In front of them was a cake with candles spelling 900.
05:11The caption read, Life is short.
05:13So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.
05:17I stared at that photo and finally laughed.
05:19So these five years had been a joke from beginning to end.
05:21I sent him one last message.
05:24I am tired. Contact the lawyer and terminate the late contract.
05:28If you do not reply before midnight, I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the
05:32registry process.
05:32Not until 11.59 did the status barge not tighten.
05:38I blocked him directly, then I caught another mother.
05:43But Sandy, what you promised me before, does it still stand?
05:47Where's it?
05:48Good.
05:49I do not just want to be ruined.
05:53I want them ruined.
05:55In three days, I'll come to your territory myself.
05:57Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf, stole private mate communications,
06:00and interfered with the termination process of an alliance mating contract.
06:04I have organized all the evidence.
06:05As for Harrison, the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future luna.
06:11That is enough to make the elder council, the pack registry, and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on
06:16him.
06:17When do you plan to strike?
06:21Soon.
06:27But before that, I need to play along with her one last time.
06:32After I was discharged, I returned to the house in Alexandria.
06:36Harrison sat on his sofa, leading the military group.
06:39He barely looked up.
06:40Kenzie said you went to the hospital.
06:42What happened this time?
06:44Before I could speak, his phone rang.
06:47Kenzie's profile picture bit up on the screen.
06:49Harrison impatiently declined the call.
06:51What have you said?
06:52Nothing.
06:56What is it now?
06:58Because I did not go to the hospital with you.
07:01Today marks 900 days since Kenzie right met you.
07:04Is that what this is about?
07:07Only then did I understand.
07:09To him, terminating our mate contract was just me throwing a tantrum.
07:14I am not throwing a tantrum.
07:18The lawyer will send the termination papers to you again.
07:21The receipt will be synced to the pack registry.
07:24Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.
07:27I cancel drinks just to come home and be with you.
07:31Stop being so dramatic.
07:33So the miscarriage, the stitches, signing surgical consent papers alone, all of it was just drama to him.
07:41He left soon after.
07:49Hours later, Kenzie sent over the signed receipt and a voice message.
07:54Audrey, Harrison never even changed his cloud password.
07:57The lawyer kept pushing, so I signed it for him.
07:59Do you think you will regret it when he realizes he gave up such a beautiful wife with his own
08:03hand?
08:04I forwarded the receipt straight to the lawyer and officially started the process.
08:12Late that night, Taylor's call jolted me awake.
08:16Audrey, get downtown now. Something happens.
08:19Fighting through the pain, I rushed to the high ranking werewolf members club at DuPont Circle.
08:25Kenzie, truth or dare?
08:28Do you have any secrets you have been hiding from your commander?
08:32Of course I do.
08:35Harrison and I slept together a long time ago.
08:41The music stopped dead. The room went silent. Every eye landed on me.
08:46I understood at once. That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.
08:52She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.
08:55She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity in front of our people.
08:59Worse, every person in that private room was no ordinary drinking buddy.
09:02They were core leaders from major packs, and every word they heard could become valid internal testimony.
09:08She was not only trying to ruin my reputation.
09:10She wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity I had left as the unrecognized future Luna of the Cole
09:15family.
09:16Kenzie walked toward me and took my hand like we were close friends.
09:19Audrey, you finally came.
09:22You really need to control Harrison.
09:24He never knows when to stop.
09:26Every time, he leaves me unable to stand, and he still will not let me go.
09:30Can you teach me how to handle him?
09:33I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
09:36Caught off guard, she fell beside the coffee table.
09:39Audrey, are you insane?
09:41Harrison shot to his feet, grabbed my wrist, and yanked me back hard.
09:45I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.
09:47My side slammed against the marble counter so hard my vision went black.
09:51But I still straightened up.
09:53Then I took out my phone and played a recording.
09:54Kenzie's laughter with another man came through clearly.
09:58Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?
09:59Find out what?
10:00In bed, he is nowhere near you.
10:03Once that boring, almost Luna of his is finally kicked out, we can-
10:07The recording cut off.
10:08The color drained from Kenzie's face.
10:11How... how do you have that?
10:13Did you really think you covered your tracks?
10:16I turned to Harrison.
10:17His expression was no longer simple rage.
10:19It was as if something he believed had been smashed right in front of him.
10:23Harrison, this is the pure little beta you said was like a sister to you?
10:28The men she has been meeting behind your back are not limited to the one in that recording.
10:33Do you want me to submit the full list and evidence to the PAC Council for verification and filing?
10:37Oh, and by the way, she has been looking through your email, your private information, and your main contract documents.
10:43What she signed without authorization was not something in the scrapbook.
10:47It was an official PAC document entered into the Council record.
10:51Powerful enough to sever the Alliance made a contract between two major wearable families, not in the fate of both
10:56of them.
10:56You are lying!
10:58Are you lying?
10:58Then let's call the mayor for the recording here in the front of him.
11:01He was trying to have some of her in the hair and deafness.
11:03I picked up the half glass of Martina for the table, so we walked up to Kenzie.
11:09This drink is for the child we lost.
11:11I splashed the hair into the face.
11:13She screamed and shrank back his makeup, tears and alcohol smeared together.
11:16Security!
11:17Harrison shouted almost on instant.
11:19But this time, he did not move.
11:21He did not help her up.
11:22He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.
11:25He stood there, his Adam's apple working hard, as if the silent earthquake had torn through him.
11:31Harrison!
11:32What are you standing there for?
11:35Take Kenzie to get her face treated.
11:38You are not coming with me!
11:41Harrison did not answer.
11:43I turned and left.
11:44Audrey!
11:45Wait!
11:46That recording, was it real?
11:48You can keep believing her.
11:50After all these years, nothing I say has ever mattered to you.
11:55When I walked out of the club, the car I had called was already waiting at the entrance.
12:01My phone buzzed. Nathaniel had sent a message.
12:04How did the recording land?
12:06It hit exactly where I wanted.
12:09Next step.
12:10The banquet.
12:12A few days later, at a private estate in Maryland.
12:15My injuries had barely improved.
12:17I came here to say a final goodbye to Harrison's mother, Eleanor.
12:21She was sitting in the courtyard on a video call with Kenzie.
12:24Smiling warmly, surrounded by the steady, dignified presence of a werewolf elder.
12:28She played the generous, kind senior perfectly.
12:30After she hung up, that smile vanished like a mask being removed, revealing her usual lofty scrutiny.
12:34Audrey as your elder, I still want to give you one piece of advice.
12:37Kenzie and Harrison grew up together in a werewolf community.
12:40Their sense blend, their instincts move together.
12:43That bond is something you can never compare to.
12:47You are too dull.
12:48Too lacking a child.
12:50Instead of clinging to that useless pride, you should learn from her.
12:53Learn how to please an Alfred.
12:56My fingertips are closed.
12:58Harrison's mother was seriously advising me to learn from her own nature for me in my marriage.
13:02To learn how to please my husband.
13:03She knew I was still the future Luna of the Cole family in Maine.
13:06And she knew the Alliance mating contract was still recorded between the two bloodlines.
13:10But in her eyes, this Luna title, a symbol of werewolf dignity and pack honor, was never an identity to
13:16be respected and protected.
13:17It was merely a decorative cloth that could be placed anywhere, and replaced at any time.
13:21Do not bother, Ellador.
13:23Harrison and I are already ending this.
13:26Kenzie came jogging in with a pastry box.
13:28Her beta scent was soft and obedient, as she affectionately brushed her cheek against Ellador's.
13:33Then cried out as if she had only just remembered something.
13:35Oh my god, I almost forgot.
13:37Tonight is the defense appreciation banquet for the military-industrial alliance.
13:40Every high-ranking piece of this werewolf in the military will be anywhere.
13:43As the alpha heir of the Cole family, Harrison has to attend.
13:45He needs to date by his side, so I need to hurry over.
13:47After saying that, she turned to me as if she had only just noticed I was there.
13:51Audrey! You are here too!
13:53About what happened at the club, I drank too much and talked nonsense.
13:56Come with me tonight, I will explain all the misunderstandings in front of every pack reader, okay?
13:59Beneath her soft, docile beta scent, she could not hide the greedy, vicious aura of a predator lying weight.
14:03Of course I knew she was setting a trap, but I also remembered what Nathaniel had told me before.
14:07The higher she jumps, the harder she falls.
14:10Give her the stage.
14:12Sure.
14:17The moment I walked into the banquet hall that night, I understood Kenzie's real purpose.
14:22Nearly every female guest wore couture.
14:24With polished makeup, scents as carefully refined as their Julie.
14:27Every gesture held the proper elegance of werewolf high society.
14:30Even their wolf power restrained to perfection.
14:32And I was wearing only a faded t-shirt and jeans.
14:35With no makeup at all.
14:36Kenzie, meanwhile, had changed into a deepening backless Chanel evening gap.
14:40Exposing her collarbones and the nape look.
14:42Is it deliberately shared off the alpha section?
14:44Oh my god.
14:46The song of the lungs is not too stressed.
14:48After all the time.
14:49People around us had already started with the moment.
14:51Some of contempt, some of curiosity, and some of the silent patience in the beautiful show.
14:55Kenzie.
14:56He took this off purpose too.
14:58Harrison, he took his people.
14:59I looked at her.
15:00My voice was loud.
15:01Just loud enough for several people nearby to hear.
15:03Her eyes to be red almost instantly.
15:04Harrison walked over with Shelby and he instantly stepped in front of me.
15:07His protective alpha aura spread out at once.
15:10Unmistakably biased.
15:11Harrison, I wanted to be up to last time.
15:13Harrison looked at her, then at me.
15:15After that night at the club, there really had been a crack in the way he looked at Kenzie.
15:19But in the end, he still chose to stand on her side.
15:22He locked his hand around my wrist.
15:23Trying to drag me deeper into the crowd.
15:25And end this ugly confrontation by force.
15:27Just then, a drunk, red-faced man walked up to Kenzie, saying filthy things.
15:31His hand moved too close.
15:32Violating the boundaries of peck, etiquette.
15:34Harrison stayed in the cold.
15:35His alpha pressure surged, instantly pinning the man in place.
15:38He seized the man's wrist and squeezed until the man screamed.
15:41I am fine.
15:42He just drank too much and said a few crude things.
15:45Go be with Audrey.
15:46Do not let her misunderstand again.
15:47With a dark expression, Harrison protected her and led her away.
15:51Audrey, what did I ever do to offend you?
15:54You actually paid off a man like this to humiliate me in public?
15:57There were elder council agents present, as well as witnesses from various packs.
16:01By throwing out that line, she was not just trying to embarrass me.
16:04She was trying to nail the words, unfit, almost, Luna into tonight's council record.
16:08Audrey, when did you become this vicious?
16:10I did not do it.
16:11But since you have already decided it was me, what is the point of explaining?
16:15So what do you want me to do?
16:17Kneel in public and beg her forgiveness?
16:25Fine.
16:27I'm sorry.
16:28Is that what you wanted?
16:30Audrey?
16:32What kind of attitude is that?
16:34You need to apologize to Kenzie, and to everyone here.
16:37Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable, that you overreact because of our working relationship.
16:43I know you only acted on impulse.
16:45I forgive you.
16:46So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating, most private feelings inside our marriage.
16:51In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
16:55Fine.
16:55Since that is what you all think.
16:57I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across the face with all my strength.
17:01She screamed and fell to the floor.
17:02I bent down, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled hard.
17:05The expensive evening gown tore with a sharp rim.
17:09Help!
17:10Harrison, save me!
17:11The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
17:13It was Harrison's hand.
17:15I crashed onto the marble floor.
17:16The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column, and my vision darkened and waved.
17:20My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep water, even making breathing
17:24feel slow.
17:25My still recovering body grew cold.
17:27The wolf state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
17:31Have you caused enough trouble?
17:33I'm straight.
17:34Two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped down on both my arms.
17:38I struggled desperately, but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
17:42But the instant he let go, the strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my t-shirt,
17:47tearing the entire piece of fabric from my shoulder.
17:49A large expanse of skin and my raw strap were exposed directly under the gaze of Washington's political and business
17:54elites.
17:55Do not touch me! Get away!
17:56Elf clutched my chest tightly, but it was already too late.
18:00People around us raised their phones.
18:01Camera flashes burst one after another.
18:04Those judging, curious, contemptuous.
18:06Gloating eyes were like countless hands pinning me in place, ripping me apart inch by inch.
18:10The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall crushed together until I could barely breathe.
18:14Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.
18:16His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.
18:19As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control.
18:22Madwoman claimed I was.
18:24As if he had completely forgotten that under pack law, allowing outsiders to publicly humiliate one still bound.
18:30Mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
18:32I finally could not stop myself from crying, just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me.
18:38At the door so I think I never touched it.
18:49I'm sorry.
18:51Is that what you wanted?
18:54Audrey, what kind of attitude is that?
18:57You need to apologize to Kenzie and to everyone here.
19:00Audrey, Harrison often tells you that your emotions have always been unstable, that you overreact because of our working relationship.
19:06I know he only acted on him for this.
19:08I forgive him.
19:09So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating and most private feelings inside our marriage.
19:14In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
19:18But fine, since that is what you all think.
19:20I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across the face with all my strength.
19:24She screamed and fell to the floor.
19:25I bent down, grabbed her by the collar and pulled hard.
19:28The expensive evening gown tore with a sharp wound.
19:32Help! Harrison, save me!
19:34The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
19:37It was Harrison's hand.
19:38I crashed onto the marble floor.
19:39The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column.
19:42And my vision darkening waved.
19:43My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep water, even making breathing
19:47feel slow.
19:48My still recovering body grew cold.
19:50The wolf state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
19:54Have you caused enough trouble?
19:56Straight.
19:57Two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped down on both my arms.
20:01I struggled desperately, but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
20:05But the instant he let go, the strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my t-shirt,
20:10tearing the entire piece of fabric from my shoulder.
20:12A large expanse of skin and my bra strap were exposed directly under the gaze of Washington's political and business
20:17police.
20:18Do not touch me, get away!
20:20Elk clutched my chest, tightly, but it was already too late.
20:23People around us raised their phones.
20:24Camera flashes burst one after another.
20:26Those judging, curious, contemptuous.
20:29Floating eyes were like countless hands pinning me in place, ripping me apart inch by inch.
20:33The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall, crushed together until I could barely breathe.
20:37Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.
20:39His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.
20:42As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control.
20:45Madwoman claimed I was, as if he had completely forgotten that under PAC law.
20:50Allowing outsiders to publicly humiliate one still bound.
20:53Mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
20:55I finally could not stop myself from crying, just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me.
21:01The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.
21:06On the day I ended our mate contract, I showed up at the international airport.
21:10One secretly taken photo caused an up-for among several major East Coast PAC spouse groups.
21:15No one knew this was not an ordinary breakup.
21:18This was the first step toward ending the alliance meeting contract between two ancient PACs.
21:23Once the receipt entered the PAC registry and the elders witnessed the rejection right,
21:28five years between me and the coal family would be erased for good.
21:31Brother, your ex Luna looks like a movie star.
21:36Ending a mate bond is huge.
21:38How did you not breathe a warm about it?
21:40Harrison stared at the woman on the screen as she walked away with her luggage.
21:44His face changed.
21:45He immediately called Kinsey.
21:49Oh, the termination of yours.
21:51I logged into your cloud account and clicked approve for you.
21:54It is not like you ever treated her as your real contract mate, right?
22:02Harrison and I were bound together by an alliance between two ancient werewolf PACs.
22:06I carried the title of future Luna and waited for him for five years.
22:10But in those five years, we never truly completed the mate bond.
22:14He treated me colder than he would treat a complete stranger.
22:16When I needed 17 stitches after a car accident, he replied with only one words, noted.
22:22Only later did I learn that Kinsey had been replying to my messages for him all these years.
22:26He said Kinsey was half born with him.
22:28His most capable beta.
22:30That was the moment I finally understood.
22:32He was not cold.
22:34He had simply given all his warmth to another woman.
22:36Until the pup in my room cannot be saved from his bloodline complications.
22:40After the healing and gave the final diagnosis,
22:42I lay on the operating table and sent him one last message.
22:46I am in the healing and our pup cannot be saved.
22:49The surgery is about to begin.
22:52I am not alone.
22:54I am not alone.
22:55I am not alone.
22:56One word.
22:58I am not alone.
22:59I am not alone.
23:01I am not alone.
23:02I am not alone.
23:03I am not alone.
23:03I am not alone.
23:04I am not alone.
23:05Strictly speaking, Harrison and I have never truly been released.
23:08No Lucero.
23:09No elder witness.
23:11No claim in fact.
23:12Not even one formulated oath.
23:20In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future.
23:26The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.
23:30Waited for the day he would truly accept me.
23:33Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.
23:36The healer called my emergency contact again and again, but every call went to voice of him.
23:40That fragile main bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.
23:44When I woke up, the ward was empty.
23:46But Harrison's profile had just been updated.
23:48Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.
23:51In front of them was a cape with candles spelling 900.
23:54The caption read, Life is short.
23:56So grateful to have you as my perfect partner for these 900 days.
24:00I stared at that photo and finally laughed.
24:03So these five years had been a joke from beginning to end.
24:05I sent him one last message.
24:08I am tired.
24:09Contact the lawyer and terminate the mate contract.
24:11If you do not reply before midnight, I will take it as consent for the rejection right to enter the
24:15registry process.
24:16Not until 1159 did the status bar show typing.
24:22I blocked him directly, then I called another number.
24:27Nathaniel, what you promised me before, does it still stand?
24:31Of course it does.
24:32Good.
24:33I do not just want to leave him.
24:37I want him to leave him.
24:38In three days, I'll call to your territory myself.
24:41Kenzie signed mate documents on his behalf, stole private mate communications,
24:44and interfered with the termination process of an alliance made in conflict.
24:47I have organized all the evidence.
24:49As for Harrison, the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep and humiliate his future loom.
24:55That is enough to make the elder council, the pack registry, and the disciplinary office all turn their eyes on
24:59him.
25:00When do you plan to strike?
25:03Thanks be.
25:05Soon.
25:10But before that, I need to play along with her one last time.
25:16After I was discharged, I returned to the house in Alexandria.
25:20Harrison sat on the sofa, reading a military brief.
25:22He barely looked up.
25:23Kenzie said you went to the hospital.
25:26What happened this time?
25:28Before I could speak, his phone rang.
25:31Kenzie's profile picture lit up on the screen.
25:33Harrison impatiently declined the call.
25:35What were you about to say?
25:36Nothing.
25:40What is it now?
25:42Because I did not go to the hospital with you?
25:45Today marks 900 days since Kenzie and I met.
25:48Is that what this is about?
25:51Only then did I understand.
25:53To him, terminating our mate contract was just me throwing a tantrum.
25:58I am not throwing a tantrum.
26:02The lawyer will send the termination papers to your email.
26:04The receipt will be synced to the pack registry.
26:08Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.
26:11I cancelled drinks just to come home and be with you.
26:14Stop being so dramatic.
26:17So the miscarriage, the stitches, signing surgical consent papers alone,
26:22all of it was just drama to him.
26:25He left soon after.
26:32Hours later, Kenzie sent over the signed receipt and a voice message.
26:37Audrey, Harrison never even changed his cloud password.
26:41The lawyer kept pushing, so I signed it for him.
26:43Do you think he will regret it when he realizes he gave up such a beautiful wife himself?
26:47I forwarded the receipt straight to David.
26:50He efficiently started the process.
26:55Late that night, Taylor's call jolted in the lake.
26:59Audrey, get downtown now.
27:01Don't be happy.
27:02Fighting to repeat, I rushed to the high ranking werewolf members club and to concert.
27:08Kenzie.
27:09Truth or dare?
27:12Do you have any secrets you have been hiding from your commander?
27:16Of course I do.
27:19Harrison and I slept a long time ago.
27:25The music stopped dead. The room went silent. Every eye landed on me.
27:29I understood at once. That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.
27:36She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.
27:38She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity in front of our people.
27:42Worse, every person in that private room was no ordinary drinking buddy.
27:46They were core leaders from major packs, and every word they heard could become valid internal testimony.
27:51She was not only trying to ruin my reputation.
27:53She wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity I had left as the unrecognized future Luna of the Cole
27:58family.
27:59Kenzie walked toward me and took my hand like we were close friends.
28:02Audrey, you finally came.
28:05You really need to control Harrison.
28:08He never knows when to stop.
28:10Every time, he leaves me unable to stand, and he still will not let me go.
28:14Can you teach me how to handle him?
28:16I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
28:19Caught off guard, she fell beside the coffee table.
28:22Audrey, are you insane?
28:24Harrison shot to his feet, grabbed my wrist, and yanked me back hard.
28:28I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.
28:31My side slammed against the marble counter so hard my vision went black.
28:35But I still straightened up.
28:36Then I took out my phone and played a recording.
28:38Kenzie's laughter with another man came through clearly.
28:41Aren't you afraid Harrison will find out?
28:43Find out what?
28:44In bed, he is nowhere near you.
28:46Once that boring, almost Luna of his is finally kicked out, we can-
28:51The recording cut off.
28:52The color drained from Kenzie's face.
28:54How? How do you have that?
28:57Did you really think you covered your tracks?
28:59I turned to Harrison.
29:01His expression was no longer simple rage.
29:03It was as if something he believed had been smashed right in front of him.
29:07Harrison, this is the pure little beta you said was like a sister to you?
29:12The men she has been meeting behind your back are not limited to the one in that recording.
29:16Do you want me to submit the full list and evidence to the PAC Council for verification and filing?
29:21Oh, and by the way, she has been looking through your email, your private information, and your mate contract documents.
29:27What she signed without authorization was not some meaningless scrap of paper.
29:31It was an official PAC document entered into the Council record, powerful enough to sever the alliance dating contract between
29:37two major werewolf families and alter the fate of both bloodlines.
29:40You are lying!
29:41Lying?
29:42Then let's call the man from the recording here and confront him.
29:45He lives near to Concert, only can be here in 10 minutes.
29:47I picked up the half glass of Martina and the table and slowly walked up to Kenzie.
29:52This drink is for the child we lost.
29:54I splashed the liquor into her face.
29:56She screamed and shrank back his makeup, tears and alcohol smeared together.
30:00Security!
30:00Harrison shouted almost on instinct, but this time, he did not move.
30:05He did not help her up.
30:06He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.
30:09He stood there, his Adam's apple working hard, as if a silent earthquake had torn through him.
30:15Harrison!
30:15What are you standing there for?
30:18Take Kenzie to get her face treated.
30:21You are not coming with me?
30:25Harrison did not answer.
30:26I turned and left.
30:27Audrey!
30:28Wait!
30:30That recording, was it real?
30:31You can keep believing her.
30:33After all these years, nothing I say has ever mattered to her.
30:38When I walked out of the car, the car I had called was already in the entrance.
30:44My phone burst.
30:46Then he sent a message.
30:48How did the recording happen?
30:50It hid exactly where I wanted it to be.
30:53Next step.
30:53I went to the bank.
30:55I went to the bank.
30:56Two days later, I tried to stay with her.
30:59My injuries were really bad.
31:01I came here to sleep finally found Harrison's mother.
31:04She was sitting in the courtyard.
31:05The mother and the mother and Kenzie looked into the smiley form.
31:08Surrounded by the steady, deep, high-cleasancy.
31:11She played generous kindness and her perfect girl.
31:14After she hung up, that smile vanished like a mass view.
31:16Going to the end of the usual confused.
31:18Audrey is your only room, I still want to give you one of the same advice.
31:21Kenzie and Harrison grew up together in a werewolf.
31:24Their scents blend, their instincts move together.
31:27That bond is something you will never be able to.
31:30You are too dark.
31:32Too lacking and charming.
31:34Instead of clinging to that useless pride, you should learn from her.
31:37Learn how to please an Alfred.
31:40My fingertips are cold.
31:41Harrison's mother was seriously advising me to learn from the woman interfering in my marriage.
31:45To learn how to please my husband.
31:47She knew I was still the future Luna of the Cole family in name.
31:49And she knew the alliance mating contract was still recorded between the two bloodlines.
31:54But in her eyes, this Luna title, a symbol of werewolf dignity and pack honor,
31:58was never an identity to be respected and protected.
32:01It was merely a decorative prop that could be placed anywhere and replaced at any time.
32:05Do not bother Eleanor.
32:07Harrison and I are already ending things.
32:08Aunt Eleanor!
32:09Kenzie came jogging in with a pastry box.
32:12Her beta scent was soft and obedient as she affectionately brushed her cheek against Eleanor's.
32:16Then cried out as if she had only just remembered something.
32:19Oh my god!
32:19I almost forgot.
32:20Tonight is the defense appreciation banquet for the military industrial alliance.
32:24Every high ranking person's werewolf and military leader will be there.
32:27As the alpha heir of the Cole family, Harrison has to attend.
32:29He needs a date by his side so I need to hurry over.
32:31After saying that, she turned to me as if she had only just noticed I was there.
32:35Audrey!
32:36You are here too!
32:36About what happened at the club, I drank too much and talked nonsense.
32:39Come with me tonight.
32:40I will explain all the misunderstandings about every pattern.
32:42You okay?
32:42Beneath her soft, docile, beta scent.
32:44She could not hide the unique vicious aura and cut in her mind.
32:47Of course I knew she was setting a trap.
32:48But I also remembered what Nathaniel had told me before.
32:51The higher she jumps, the harder she falls.
32:54Give her the stage.
32:55Sure.
33:01The moment I walked into the banquet hall that night, I understood Kenzie's real purpose.
33:05Nearly every female guest wore couture.
33:07With polished makeup, scents as carefully refined as their jewelry.
33:10Every gesture held the proper elegance of werewolf high society.
33:14Even their wolf power restrained to perfection.
33:16And I was wearing only a faded t-shirt and jeans.
33:18No makeup at all.
33:19Kenzie, meanwhile, had changed into a defeat backless Chanel evening gown.
33:23Exposing her collarbones and the nape of her neck.
33:25As if deliberately showing off the alpha scent she carried.
33:28Oh, goddess.
33:30I forgot to tell you there was a dress code to it.
33:32Audrey, you do not mind?
33:33People around us had already started looking over.
33:35Some with contempt, some with curiosity, and some with the silent patience of people waiting for a show.
33:39Kenzie, you did this on purpose to embarrass me in front of those people, didn't you?
33:43I looked at her.
33:44My voice was calm, but just loud enough for several people nearby to hear.
33:46Her eyes turned red almost instantly.
33:48Harrison walked over with champagne and instinctively stepped in front of her.
33:51His protective alpha aura spread out at once.
33:54Unmistakably biased.
33:55Harrison, I only wanted to make up for last time.
33:57Harrison looked at her, then at me.
33:59After that night at the club, there really had been a crack in the way he looked at Kenzie.
34:02But in the end, he still chose to stand on her side.
34:05He locked his hand around my wrist, trying to drag me deeper into the crowd and end this ugly confrontation
34:10by force.
34:11Just then, a drunk, red-faced man walked up to Kenzie, saying filthy things.
34:14His hand moved too close, violating the boundaries of pack, etiquette.
34:18Harrison's face was cold.
34:19His alpha pressure surged, instantly pinning the man in place.
34:22He seized the man's wrist stand, squeezed until the man screamed.
34:25I am fine. He just drank too much and said a few crude things.
34:28Go be with Audrey.
34:30Do not let her misunderstand again.
34:31With a dark expression, Harrison protected her and led her away.
34:35Audrey, what did I ever do to offend you?
34:37You actually paid off a man like this to humiliate me in public?
34:40There were elder council agents present, as well as witnesses from various paths.
34:44I'm throwing every bad one.
34:46She was not just trying to forgive us.
34:47She was trying to nail the words and fit our host.
34:50You know, to tonight's council right now.
34:52Audrey is to become as vicious.
34:54I did not do it.
34:55I think you have already decided that this will be the same place.
34:59So what do you want me to do now?
35:01I kneel in public and invite your forgiveness.
35:09Fine.
35:10I'm sorry.
35:11Is that what you wanted?
35:14Audrey, what kind of attitude is that?
35:17You need to apologize to Kensington and to everyone here.
35:21Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable.
35:25That you overreact because of our working relationship.
35:27I know you only acted on impulse.
35:29I forgive you.
35:30So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating, most private feelings inside our marriage.
35:35In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
35:38Fine.
35:39Since that is what you all think.
35:41I raised my hand and slapped Kensie across the face with all my strength.
35:44She screamed and fell to the floor.
35:46I bent down, grabbed her by the collar and pulled hard.
35:49The expensive evening gown tore with a sharp rip.
35:52Help!
35:53Harrison, save me!
35:54The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
35:57It was Harrison's hand.
35:58I crashed onto the marble floor.
36:00The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column, and my vision darkened and waved.
36:03My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep water, even making breathing
36:08feel slow.
36:09My still recovering body grew cold.
36:10The wolf state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
36:14Have you caused enough trouble?
36:17Straight.
36:18Two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped down on both my arms.
36:21I struggled desperately, but Harrison personally grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
36:25But the instant he let go, the strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my T-shirt,
36:30tearing the entire piece of fabric from my shoulder.
36:33A large expanse of skin in my bra strap were exposed directly under the gaze of Washington's political business leaders.
36:39Do not touch me! Get away!
36:40Elk clutched my chest tightly, but it was already too late.
36:43People around us raised their phones.
36:45Camera flashes burst one after another.
36:47Those judging, curious, contemptuous, gloating eyes were like countless hands pinning me in place, ripping me apart inch by inch.
36:53The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall crushed together until I could barely breathe.
36:57Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.
36:59His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.
37:02As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control.
37:06Madwoman claimed I was, as if he had completely forgotten that under pack law,
37:11allowing outsiders to publicly humiliate ones still bound.
37:14Mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
37:16I finally could not stop myself from crying, just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me whole.
37:21The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.
37:32Fine. I'm sorry. Is that what you wanted?
37:38Audrey? What kind of attitude is that?
37:40You need to apologize to Kenzie, and to everyone here.
37:44Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable.
37:47That you overreact because of our working relationship.
37:50I know you only acted on impulse. I forgive you.
37:53So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating, most private feelings inside our marriage.
37:58In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
38:01Fine. Since that is what you all think.
38:04I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across the face with all my strength.
38:07She screamed and fell to the floor.
38:09I bent down, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled hard.
38:12The expensive evening gown tore with a sharp rib.
38:16Help! Harrison, save me!
38:18The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
38:20It was Harrison's hand.
38:21I crashed onto the marble floor.
38:23The back of my head struck the base of a Roman column, and my vision darkened in wave.
38:26My wolf sank violently in that instant, as if something icy had pressed her into deep water, even making breathing
38:31feel slow.
38:31My still recovering body grew cold.
38:34The wolf's state collapse the healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
38:37Have you caused enough trouble here?
38:40Straight.
38:41The two guards in black immediately stepped forward and clamped out on both my arms.
38:44It was struck with dust for me.
38:46The character's first time grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
38:49With the instant he let go, the strap of his military launch caught on the collar.
38:53It kicks you through.
38:53Tearing the entire race of fabric from my shoulder.
38:56A large advance of skin from my braw started to expose directly into the gaze of watching out of the
39:00head.
39:00A large advance of violence.
39:01The enemy, the enemy, the enemy, and I hid nowhere.
39:03Elk flushed my chest.
39:05Tightened what was already totally.
39:06People around us raised with lens.
39:08Camera flashes burst one after another.
39:10Close judging, curious, contemptuous.
39:12Floating eyes were like how his hands are putting me in place.
39:15Ripping me apart inch by inch.
39:16The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall, crushed together into a very good movie.
39:20Perisison stood two steps away and looked at me.
39:22His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust, as if the more wretched I looked,
39:27the more it proved I was out of control.
39:29The mad woman claimed I was, as if he had completely forgotten that under PAC law, allowing outsiders to publicly
39:35humiliate one still bound, mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
39:39I finally could not stop myself from crying, just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me whole.
39:44The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.
39:50On the day I ended our mate contract, I showed up at the international airport.
39:54One secretly taken photo caused an uppour among several major East Coast PAC spouse groups.
39:59No one knew this was not an ordinary breakup.
40:01This was the first step toward ending the alliance mating contract between two ancient PACs.
40:07Once the receipt entered the PAC registry and the elders witnessed the rejection rite, five years between me and the
40:13Cole family would be raced for good.
40:15Brother, your ex Luna looks like a movie star.
40:20Ending a mate bond is huge. How did you not breathe a word about it?
40:24Harrison stared at the woman on the screen as she walked away with her luggage. His face changed.
40:28He immediately called Kenzie.
40:33Oh, the termination papers?
40:35I logged into your Cloud account and picked a proof for you.
40:38It is not like you ever treated her as her real contract mate, right?
40:46Harrison and I were bound together by an alliance between two ancient werewolf PACs.
40:50I carried the title of Future Luna and waited for him for five years.
40:54But in those five years, we never truly completed the mate bond.
40:57He treated me colder than he would treat a complete stranger.
41:00When I needed 17 stitches after a car accident, he replied with only one word, noted.
41:06Only later did I learn that Kenzie had been replying to my messages for him all these years.
41:10He said Kenzie was half one of him, his most capable beta.
41:14That was the moment I finally understood.
41:16He was not cold.
41:17He had simply given all his warmth to another woman
41:20until the pup in my womb could not be saved because of bloodline complications.
41:24After the healer ring gave the final diagnosis,
41:26I lay on the operating table and sent him one last message.
41:29I am at the healer ring.
41:31Our pup cannot be saved.
41:33The surgery is about to begin.
41:37A reply came back quickly.
41:39One word, noted.
41:42I stared at that one word for a long time.
41:48Strictly speaking, Harrison and I had never truly been mates.
41:52No Luna ceremony.
41:53No elder witness.
41:54No claiming bite.
41:56Not even one formal mating oath.
42:04In the pack registry, I was only his pending confirmation future Luna.
42:09The ridiculous part was that I had waited five years.
42:14Waited for the day he would truly accept me.
42:17Halfway through the surgery, I suddenly began hemorrhaging.
42:20The healer called my emergency contact again and again,
42:23but every call went to voicemail.
42:24That fragile mate bond slowly broke apart while I was under anesthesia.
42:27When I woke up, the ward was empty.
42:30But Harrison's profile had just been updated.
42:32Beside a campfire, Kenzie leaned intimately against his shoulder.
42:35In front of my visitator, he had a spell of 980.
42:37He had a captioning.
42:39He had a captioning.
42:39The light was short.
42:40The secret was had used by the perfect partner for his 980s.
42:44I stared at the table.
42:45I'm in the back.
42:46It should be 5 years ago.
42:47I enjoyed the video of the time.
42:49I sent him one last message.
42:51I am Tala.
42:53Contact me at the end of the video of your project.
42:55If you do not apply before the event of the team is consent,
42:58the rejection of the intent to register the process.
43:00No.
43:00Thank God for inviting me to me to the steps of your shelter.
43:06I have no intention to forgive me,
43:07but I have no intention to forgive me.
43:10I can't believe what I first want to forgive you.
43:13This is just stoned.
43:14But of course it does.
43:15I do not just wait for me.
43:20I have not been warned.
43:21In three days on nuclear territory myself,
43:24Mackenzie Sine made documents onto the map,
43:26stole private media communications,
43:28and interfered with the germination process
43:29and the alliance made in crime.
43:31I have organized all the evidence.
43:33As for Harrison,
43:34the alpha heir of a major pack allowed a beta to overstep
43:37and humiliate his future leader.
43:38That is enough to make the Elder Council,
43:40the pack registry, and the disciplinary office
43:42all turn their eyes on him.
43:44When do you plan to strike?
43:48Soon.
43:54But before that, I need to play along with her one last time.
44:00After I was discharged, I returned to the house in Alexandria.
44:03Harrison sat on the sofa reading a military brief.
44:06He barely looked up.
44:07Kenzie said you went to the hospital.
44:09What happened this time?
44:12Before I could speak, his phone rang.
44:14Kenzie's profile picture lit up on the screen.
44:17Harrison impatiently declined the call.
44:19What were you about to say?
44:20Nothing.
44:23What is it now?
44:25Because I did not go to the hospital with you?
44:28Today marks 900 days since Kenzie and I met.
44:31Is that what this is about?
44:34Only then did I understand.
44:37To him, terminating our mate contract
44:39was just me throwing a tantrum.
44:41I am not throwing a tantrum.
44:45The lawyer will send the termination papers to your email.
44:48The receipt will be synced to the PAC registry.
44:51Stop threatening to leave every time something happens.
44:54I canceled drinks just to come home and be with you.
44:58Stop being so dramatic.
45:00So the miscarriage, the stitches, signing surgical consent papers alone,
45:05all of it was just drama to him.
45:09He left soon after.
45:16Hours later, Kenzie sent over the signed receipt and a voice message.
45:21Audrey, Harrison never even changed his cloud password.
45:24The lawyer kept pushing so I signed it for him.
45:27Do you think he will regret it when he realizes
45:28he gave up such a beautiful life with his own hand?
45:31I forwarded the receipt straight to the lawyer
45:34and officially started the process.
45:39Late that night, Taylor's call jolted me awake.
45:43Audrey, get downtown now.
45:45Something happened.
45:46Fighting through the pain,
45:47I rushed to the high ranking werewolf members
45:49that I had during my circle.
45:52Kenzie, truth or dare?
45:56Do you have any secrets you have been hiding from your commander?
45:59Of course I do.
46:03Harrison and I slept together a long time ago.
46:09The music stopped dead.
46:10The room went silent.
46:12Every eye landed on me.
46:13I understood at once.
46:15That phone call had been arranged by her on purpose.
46:20She wanted me to hear it with my own ears.
46:22She wanted me stripped of every last shred of dignity in front of our people.
46:26Worse, every person in that private room was no ordinary drinking buddy.
46:30They were core leaders from major packs
46:31and every word they heard could become valid internal testimony.
46:35She was not only trying to improve my reputation.
46:37She wanted to destroy the last bit of dignity I had left
46:40as the unrecognized future would allow me to call for her.
46:43Kenzie walked toward me and took my hand and took my hand
46:45and took my nose right away.
46:46Audrey, you finally came.
46:49You really need to control Harrison.
46:51He never knows when to stop.
46:53Every time he leaves me unable to stand,
46:56he still will not let me go.
46:58Can you teach me how to handle the more?
47:00I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face.
47:03Caught off guard, she fell beside the coffee table.
47:06Audrey, are you insane?
47:08Harrison shot to his feet, grabbed my wrist and yanked me back hard.
47:12I stumbled into the ice bucket stand behind me.
47:15My side slammed against the marble counter so hard my vision went black.
47:18But I still straightened up.
47:20Then I took out my phone and played a recording.
47:22Kenzie's laughter to another man came through clearly.
47:25Are you afraid Harrison will find out?
47:27Find out what?
47:28In bed, he is nowhere near you.
47:30Once that boring, almost luna of his is finally kicked out, we can-
47:34The recording cut off.
47:36The color drained from Kenzie's face.
47:38How do you have that?
47:40Did you really think you covered your tracks?
47:43I turned to Harrison.
47:44His expression was no longer simple rage.
47:47It was as if something he believed had been smashed right in front of him.
47:50Harrison, this is the pure little beta you said was like a sister to you?
47:55The men she has been meeting behind your back are not limited to the one in that recording.
48:00Do you want me to submit the full list and evidence to the PAC council for verification and filing?
48:05Oh, and by the way, she has been looking through your email, your private information, and your make contract documents.
48:11What she signed without authorization was not from a meaningless scrap of paper.
48:15It was an official PAC document entered into the council record, powerful enough to sever the alliance meeting contract between
48:20two major werewolf families and alter the fate of both bloodlines.
48:23You are lying!
48:25Lying?
48:26Then let's call the man from the recording here and confront him.
48:28He lives near DuPont Circle, he can be here in ten minutes.
48:31I picked up the half glass of martini from the table and he slowly walked up to Kenzie.
48:36This drink is for the child we lost.
48:38I splashed the liquor into her face.
48:40She screamed and shrank back his makeup, tears and alcohol smeared together.
48:44Security!
48:44Harrison shouted almost on instinct.
48:47But this time, he did not move.
48:48He did not help her up.
48:50He did not immediately shield her behind him like before.
48:53He stood there, his Adam's apple working hard, as if a silent earthquake had torn through him.
48:58Harrison!
48:59What are you standing there for?
49:02Take Kenzie to get her face treated.
49:05You are not coming with me?
49:08Harrison did not answer.
49:10I turned and left.
49:11Audrey!
49:12Wait!
49:13That recording, was it real?
49:15You can keep believing her.
49:17After all these years, nothing I say has ever mattered to you.
49:23When I walked out of the club, the car I had called was already waiting at the entrance.
49:28My phone buzzed.
49:30Nathaniel had sent a message.
49:32How did the reporting hit?
49:34It hit exactly where I wanted.
49:36Next step.
49:38The banquet.
49:39A few days later, at a private estate in Maryland.
49:42My injuries had very long.
49:44I came here to say a final goodbye to Harrison's mother.
49:48She was sitting here recording.
49:49A video call with Kenzie, smiling warmly, surrounded by the steady, dignified presence of a werewolf elder.
49:55She played the generous, kind senior perfectly.
49:57After she hung up, that smile vanished like a mask being removed, revealing her usual lofty scrutiny.
50:02Audrey, as your elder, I still want to give you one piece of advice.
50:05Kenzie and Harrison grew up together in the werewolf community.
50:08Their sense blend.
50:09Their instincts move together.
50:11That bond is something you can never compare to.
50:14You are too dull.
50:16Too lacking in charm.
50:17Instead of clinging to that useless pride, you should learn from her.
50:20Learn how to please an alpha at home.
50:23My fingertips weren't cold.
50:25Harrison's mother was seriously advising me to learn from the woman interfering in my marriage.
50:29To learn how to please my husband.
50:30She knew I was still the future Luna of the Cole family in name.
50:33And she knew the alliance meeting contract was still recorded between two women's.
50:37But in her eyes, this Luna title, a symbol of her identity.
50:41A pack on her.
50:42It was never an identity to be respected for a time.
50:45It was merely a decorative topic that could be pleased at home.
50:47It was a place to get a time.
50:48Do not bother me.
50:50Harrison's mother.
50:52I'm sorry.
50:52I'm sorry.
50:53Kenzie came jogging in with a pastry house.
50:55Her beta set was soft and relieved.
50:57She fashionably brushed her cheek against double hairs.
51:00Then tried out as if she had already just before this.
51:02Oh my god.
51:03I almost forgot.
51:04Tonight is the time for the creation of our community.
51:06The industrial clients.
51:07Every hybrid group seems to realize I'm going to be able to be there.
51:10As the alpha heir of the whole family, Harrison has to attempt.
51:12He needs a date by his side, so I need to hurry over.
51:14After saying that, she turned to me as if she had only just noticed all this.
51:18Audrey!
51:19You are here too!
51:20About what happened at the club.
51:21I drank too much and talked nonsense.
51:23Come with me tonight.
51:24I will explain all misunderstandings about every pack of me.
51:26Okay?
51:26Beneath her soft, docile, innocent.
51:28She could not hide the huge, vicious order of an incredible argument.
51:30Of course I knew she was saying a drug.
51:32But I also remembered what Nathaniel had told me before.
51:35The higher she jumps, the harder she falls.
51:37Give her the stairs.
51:39Sure.
51:44The moment I walked into the banquet hall that night, I understood Kenzie's real purpose.
51:49Nearly every female guest wore couture.
51:51With polished makeup, scents as carefully refined as their Julie.
51:54Every gesture held the proper elegance of werewolf high society.
51:57Even their wolf power restrained to perfection.
51:59And I was wearing only a faded t-shirt and jeans with no makeup at all.
52:03Kenzie, meanwhile, had changed into a deep V backless Chanel evening gown.
52:07Exposing her collarbones and the nape of her neck.
52:09As if deliberately showing off the alpha scent she carried.
52:12Oh, goddess.
52:13I forgot to tell you there was a dress code tonight.
52:15Audrey, you do not mind, do you?
52:16People around us had already started looking over.
52:18Some with contempt, some with curiosity, and some with the silent patience of people waiting for a show.
52:22Kenzie, you did this on purpose to embarrass me in front of these people, didn't you?
52:26I looked at her.
52:27My voice was calm, but just loud enough for several people nearby to hear.
52:30Her eyes turned red almost instantly.
52:32Harrison walked over with champagne and instinctively stepped in front of her.
52:35His protective alpha aura spread out at once, unmistakably biased.
52:39Harrison, I only wanted to make up for last time.
52:41Harrison looked at her, then at me.
52:43After that night at the club, there really had been a crack in the way he looked at Kenzie.
52:46But in the end, he still chose to stand on her side.
52:49He locked his hand around my wrist, trying to drag me deeper into the crowd, and end this ugly confrontation
52:54by force.
52:54Just then, a drunk, red-faced man walked up to Kenzie, saying 50 things.
52:58His hand moved too close, violating the boundaries of pack, etiquette.
53:01Harrison's face was cold.
53:03His alpha pressure surged, instantly pinning the man in place.
53:06He seized the man's wrist end, squeezed until the man screamed.
53:08I am fine, he just drank too much and said a few crude things.
53:12Go be with Audrey.
53:13Do not let her misunderstand again.
53:15With a dark expression, Harrison protected her and led her away.
53:18Audrey, what did I ever do to offend you?
53:21You actually paid off a man like this to humiliate me in public?
53:24There were elder council agents present, as well as witnesses from various packs.
53:28By throwing out that line, she was not just trying to embarrass me.
53:31She was trying to nail the words, unfit, almost.
53:34Luna into tonight's council record.
53:35Audrey, when did you become this vicious?
53:37I did not do it.
53:39Since you have already decided it was me, what is the point of explaining?
53:42So what do you want me to do?
53:44Kneel in public and beg her forgiveness?
53:53Fine.
53:54I'm sorry.
53:55Is that what you wanted?
53:58Audrey?
53:59What kind of attitude is that?
54:01You need to apologize to Kenzie?
54:03And to everyone here.
54:05Audrey, Harrison often tells me your emotions have always been unstable.
54:08That you overreact because of our working relationship.
54:11I know you only acted on impulse.
54:12I forgive you.
54:14So he had even told another woman about the most humiliating and the most humiliating,
54:16most private feelings inside our marriage.
54:18In that moment, the fire in my chest finally burned all the way through.
54:22Fine.
54:23Since that is what you all think.
54:24I raised my hand and slapped Kenzie across the face with all my strength.
54:28She screamed and fell to the floor.
54:30I bent down, grabbed her by the collar and pulled hard.
54:32The expensive evening gown tore on the sharp wound.
54:36Help me.
54:37Harrison, save me.
54:38The next second, I was shoved hard in the back.
54:41It was Harrison's hand.
54:42I crashed onto the marble floor.
54:43The back of my head struck the face of the red collar.
54:46And my vision darkened away.
54:47My wolf sank violently in that instant.
54:49As if something icy and crust around the deep water needed to make my breathing feel slow.
54:52My still recovering body moved forward.
54:54The wolf state collapsed.
54:55The healer had warned me about began to overwhelm me again.
54:58Have you caused enough trouble?
55:01I'm afraid.
55:01Two guards in black immediately stepped forward to clamp down on both my arms.
55:05I struggled desperately.
55:07The Harrison's person grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
55:10But the instant he let go,
55:11The strap of his military watch caught on the collar of my patient.
55:14Tearing the entire piece of fabric on my shoulder.
55:17A large expanse of skin in my bra strap was closed directly into the gaze of Washington's political business owners.
55:22Do not touch me.
55:23Get away.
55:24Elk clutched my chest.
55:25Tightened me.
55:26It was already too late.
55:27People around us raised their phones.
55:29Camera flashes burst one after another.
55:31Those judging, curious, contemptuous.
55:33Gloating eyes were like countless hands putting me in place ripping me apart inch by inch.
55:37The scrutiny of every werewolf in the hall crushed together until I could barely breathe.
55:41Harrison stood two steps away and looked at me.
55:43His expression was not shock, not regret, but deeper disgust.
55:46As if the more wretched I looked, the more it proved I was out of control.
55:50Madwoman claimed I was.
55:51As if he had completely forgotten that under pack law.
55:54Allowing outsiders to publicly humiliate ones still bound.
55:57Mate was the ugliest failure of an alpha hare.
55:59I finally could not stop myself from crying.
56:02Just as the flashes and laughter were about to swallow me whole.
56:05The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.
