(Aria’s POV)

Alexander’s gaze swept back and forth between Claire and Richard, his amber eyes burning with barely contained malice. He remained eerily silent.

It was impossible to tell if he believed Claire’s frantic explanation or was simply suppressing his rage until he could process what he’d just heard.

Claire, meanwhile, was completely unraveling. Her composure had shattered like glass, she paced frantically

on the stage.

The recording continued to reverberate through the hall, each explicit word echoing off the walls like a death

sentence.

“Turn off the speakers immediately!” Claire stomped her foot in desperation, her emerald eyes wild with fear. “Why aren’t they off yet?!”

The event coordinator rushed over, sweat pouring down his face. His wolf’s anxiety was so palpable I could smell it from across the room.

“Miss Watson,” he stammered, his voice shaking, “our people have turned off all the audio equipment, but… but that recording isn’t coming from the speakers at all…

The blood drained from Claire’s face. If it wasn’t coming from their sound system, then someone had placed multiple devices throughout the venue.

“Then cut all the power!” Richard roared, his Alpha pheromones exploding outward with such force that several weaker wolves near the stage actually stumbled backward.

“Yes, yes!” The coordinator wiped cold sweat from his brow and hurried away, his hands shaking as he pulled out his mobile phone to contact the electrical team.

As chaos erupted around us, I sat in my corner booth, savoring every expression of horror and disbelief on the faces of those on stage. An unprecedented sense of triumph flooded through me, making my wolf

But I knew this public humiliation was just the beginning. Blood debts must be repaid with blood.

The recording had been carefully timed–exactly ten minutes and eight seconds of the most damning evidence imaginable. By the time it finished, the entire venue was in complete uproar.

Everyone pointed at the stage, their faces alight with excitement and barely contained gossip. Th pack scents in the air mingled with anticipation and shock as whispers spread like wildfire.

“Did you hear that? She called him ‘Daddy!”

“No wonder Richard was so eager for her tea service!”

“He barely touched his own son’s offering!”

present.

A crowd of media reporters snapped photos frantically, their cameras flashing like lightning. Then they immediately called their colleagues outside, their voices urgent and excited.

“Get ready to break this story! The Storm Pack marking ceremony just became the scandal of the century?

“Claire Watson and Richard Reed caught in explicit affair!”

“Quick, stop them!” Claire’s entertainment industry background made her understand the reporters‘ intentions Instantly. Her wolf’s panic elevated her scent to near–hysteria levels. “Don’t let them spread the news!”

The venue staff exchanged uncertain glances. None dared to move against the reporters

These weren’t local gossip bloggers – they were well–known journalists from across the Northern Territory. Offending them could ruin the venue’s reputation with negative coverage.

“What are you standing around for?” Richard’s Alpha command echoed through the hall with desperate fury.

“Go!”

“Ah, yes…” The staff finally sprang into reluctant action.

But just then, with a deafening “BANG,” everything plunged into darkness. The lights went out completely. The venue erupted into chaos. Voices rose in confusion and alarm as various wolves‘ scents spiked with

anxiety.

“What happened?”

“Why did the power go out?”

“I can’t see anything!”

Gradually, the blue glow of mobile phone flashlights began appearing throughout the darkness. Guests started making their way toward the exits, using the dim light to navigate the suddenly treacherous space. Seeing that our show was over, I instinctively started to rise from my seat. But Dominic’s warm hand caught my arm, his powerful Alpha scent wrapping around me protectively in the darkness

“Don’t move yet,” he said quietly. “Let them go out first.”

Perhaps because of the darkness, his voice felt electrifyingly smooth in my ears. It caused my wolf to stir restlessly beneath my skin, responding to his proximity in ways I didn’t want to examine.

I could feel his warm breath against the back of my ear. For some inexplicable reason, my mind suddenly recalled the intimate embrace from this morning’s vivid dream, causing heat to flood my face.

“Hmm,” I responded quickly, turning my face away in embarrassment.

Thank goodness for the darkness hiding my blush. I was actually grateful for the power outage at unis

moment.

As the commotion in the banquet hall gradually subsided, most guests having filed out, I felt the heat in my face finally dissipate.

I was about to tell Dominic I wanted to leave when the lights suddenly blazed back on.

The brightness after prolonged darkness made me instinctively raise my hand to shield my eyes. When they

finally adjusted, I saw that most quests had indeed left.

The entire hall looked like a disaster zone. Overturned chairs, abandoned champagne glasses, and scattered programs littered the floor. The initial romantic elegance had been completely destroyed.

“Let’s go,” Dominic said, his silver–gray eyes meeting mine with something that might have been satisfaction.

I nodded. “Mhm, let’s go.”

But before we’d taken more than a few steps, Claire’s sharp voice rang out behind us,

“Aria Summers!”

I frowned, turning to see Claire striding toward us. Her face was twisted with rage, her emerald eyes blazing with fury. Her wolf’s anger was so intense I could smell it from here.

“Are you behind this?” she snarled, pointing an accusing finger at me. “You fabricated that recording, didn’t you? You just couldn’t stand me having a marking ceremony with Alexander, so you pulled this despicable

trick!”

Her eyes bulged with rage, looking as if she wanted to devour me whole. Her wolf’s aggressive pheromones filled the air around us with hostility.

I couldn’t help but sneer, my own wolf surprisingly calm beneath my

“You’re seriously ill,” I said coolly. “If you’re sick, go see a doctor.”

“Don’t try to deny it!” Claire shrieked, her claws partially extending in her fury. “I knew something was up when

now?!” you suddenly showed up today! You came just to cause trouble! Are you happy

My lips curved into a slight smile.

“I am indeed quite happy,” I admitted with satisfaction.

“You” Claire raised her hand as if to slap me, her wolf’s aggression spiking dangerously.

But I was ready for her. I subtly took half a step back to dodge her hand, then swiftly raised my own and delivered a forceful slap across her face.

The crisp sound echoed through the nearly empty hall.
