The packhouse hall was full. Every wolf in Black Moon Pack was there, whispering, staring at me and my son.
Alpha Adrian sat on his throne, his face stone. Vanessa beside him was shaking. My former mother-in-law, Linda, stood in corner, her eyes full of hate.
I stood in middle, Liam in my arms.
"Three years ago, you all believed I cheated on Adrian with a rogue," I started, my voice loud and clear. "You believed I betrayed my mate. You let them drag me out of this packhouse like an animal."
I looked at Linda. "But did anyone ask for proof? Did anyone test the photo they showed you?"
Adrian frowned. "What photo?"
Linda went pale.
I threw a folder on the floor. Photos fell out.
"Vanessa and Linda photoshopped pictures of me with a rogue. They paid a rogue $5000 to touch me while I was sleeping. They took photos. Then they told Adrian I cheated."
Gasps echoed in hall.
"That's a lie!" Vanessa screamed. "You are lying!"
"Am I?" I laughed. "Then explain this."
I played a video on big screen. It was Vanessa's voice, recorded last week by my detective.
Vanessa's voice in video: "Yes, I paid the rogue. Elena was going to be Luna, not me. I had to remove her. Adrian was mine!"
The hall exploded.
Adrian stood up, his eyes glowing red. His Alpha power filled room. He looked at Vanessa with murder in his eyes.
"Vanessa... you..."
Vanessa fell to floor crying. "I did it for you, Adrian! She was weak! I am stronger Luna!"
Linda tried to run, but pack warriors blocked her.
I hugged Liam. "Mama, why is everyone shouting?" he whispered.
"Because justice, baby," I whispered back. "Justice is finally here."
Adrian walked to me, knelt in front of Liam. Tears in his golden eyes.
"Can I... can I hold him? Please?"
I looked at my son. Liam looked at Adrian curiously, then nodded.
For first time in three years, Adrian Knox, the ruthless Alpha who rejected me, held his son and cried like a child.
But revenge was not over. This was just beginning.
