"So when Taylor does something wrong, it's forgivable? But when I'm the one being falsely accused- without a shred of evidence-I'm the one who gets kicked out?" So I'm just supposed to be bullied? Madam Salvatore looked embarrassed and let out a sigh before saying slowly, "Raelyn, please... just do it for me, okay?" I shot a cold glance at Taylor. "If she hadn't done those things, I wouldn't have gone after her in the first place. She brought this all on herself." With that, I ignored Madam Salvatore and walked away. Even though I rejected her request, I knew very well how this circus would end: Eclipse Pack would help Taylor smooth things over. After all, she grew up with those five brothers, and Madam Salvatore had always treated her like the future Luna. They were deeply tied. Sure enough, it wasn't even a full day before all the online buzz about Taylor began disappearing. I felt a chill in my heart. But Taylor's good-girl image? That was gone for good thanks to what I stirred up. Eclipse Pack would at least be more cautious around her now. I considered that a lesson she wouldn't forget. For nearly a week afterward, Taylor didn't come near me. She didn't show up at Eclipse Pack or the company. I finally had a chance to breathe.. That afternoon, I left Eclipse Corporation after work and was planning to head home alone. But the moment I entered the underground garage, something felt... off. "Alpha, careful." Freya's warning came just in time. A heavy object came flying at me from above. I ducked, and it hit the ground, releasing a cloud of smoke. A sharp, familiar scent hit my nose-and my knees buckled. Wolfsbane! Panicking, I tried to retreat, only to see several black wolves and towering men emerge from the shadows. 1/3 16:56 Tue, Aug 5G G 83% O X The wolves lunged and cut off my escape route. The men tossed more Wolfsbane bombs toward me. I was instantly swallowed in the toxic haze. Covering my nose and mouth, I tried to summon Freya to fight, but my body gave out-I collapsed to the ground. Freya... didn't respond. The werewolf thugs all wore gas masks. They rushed over and grabbed my arms and legs, pinning me to the floor. I coughed, furious. "Who are you? What do you want?" Taylor stepped out from the side, her eyes filled with venom. "Raelyn, Raelyn... I've been waiting here for you for three days. Finally got you." My heart dropped. I'd thought she was reflecting on herself this whole time. But clearly, she was just plotting. She laid this trap and even used Wolfsbane-she was ready to kill me. Taylor laughed maniacally. "I told you-I wouldn't let you go. If you had stayed in your lane, fine. But no, you just had to push me to the edge." She kept going. "These past few days, I've been drifting in a daze. You know what? Everything you did... made me lose face in the Eclipse Pack. I can't even look Aiden in the eye anymore!" I said coldly, "Taylor, you brought all this on yourself." Smack! Taylor came over and slapped me across the face. "Shut up! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this position. Aiden used to treat me so well. Ever since you showed up, he won't even look at me. This all started the day you came to Eclipse Pack! You disgusting little Omega, why did you even come here? Why?!" She was practically unhinged now. She grabbed my neck, her nails digging into my skin. "Why aren't you talking, Raelyn? You think you're better than me, don't you? I'll tell you what-if I'm going down, I'm dragging you with me!" I kept silent, enduring it all. Right now, I had to keep calm. I couldn't afford to set her off. Taylor finally seemed to vent enough. Seeing me unresponsive, she gave a cold snort and waved for the thugs to tie me up and blindfold me. Then they shoved me into a van. The vehicle bumped along for one or two hours before finally coming to a stop. 2/3 16:56 Tue, Aug 5 We were deep in the woods-far from the city. My heart sank. This b*tch Taylor had thought of everything. She brought me all the way out here to make sure I couldn't escape. One of the thugs grabbed me by the hair and tossed me into a rundown shack. All the wolves waited outside. Inside, four of them stayed to guard me. ײון I leaned against a cot, trying to figure out a plan-when I suddenly heard one of them whisper to another, "Dude, look how fresh this chick is. Bet she'd feel amazing." My stomach turned. I couldn't help but lift my head. Two of them were staring at me with perverse grins. "I've never slept with anyone this fine. Damn... Ms. Taylor really hooked us up this time."
