Chapter 9 " Can you believe she showed up dressed like that ? No hint of remorse at all . " " Bet she's trying to ride the scandal into influencer fame . " The reporters whispered among themselves . Devon furrowed his brows when he saw me , but quickly relaxed . " I really don't know if you're stupid or smart , showing up like this . Did you forget your sister Lyra just died ? " I glanced at his tailored black suit and gave a soft laugh . " What I wear has nothing to do with you . After all , we've already dissolved our mate bond , haven't we ? " I walked past him and took a seat at the head of the Pack Assembly Hall . " " Hello everyone , I'm Haley , the center of this storm . I assume you've all heard the story . My mother is still awaiting trial at the Pack Tribunal . " I smiled as I introduced myself . Instantly , the livestream comment feed on pack internal network exploded . Is this Omega insane ? Isn't she supposed to apologize ? What is that attitude ? ] [ Look at her face when she mentioned her mother is still in tribunal , she's practically smirking . ] [ She lost her pup and her sister , but still shows up here with full makeup ? What kind of monster is she ? ] I ignored the hateful noise and went on . " I'm here today to clarify everything . And yes , some of what Devon said was true . I didn't want to save Lyra or give birth to an Alpha's pup . That's why I scheduled a termination . ' The room erupted into shocked gasps . " She admitted it that easily ? " " Devon wasn't lying . She really is a heartless Omega . " " With two lives on her hands , how can she still sit here with a straight face ? " Devon seemed pleased with the reaction . He signaled his assistant to prepare ads for the pack's enterprises to run during the broadcast . I , however , shifted gears . " But all of this is based on a much bigger secret I discovered . " I pulled out my phone and played a video . It showed Devon and my parents in the pack hospital office , plotting how to take the pup from my womb . Then I displayed chat logs between Devon and Lyra , clearly showing how he deceived me and treated me as nothing more than a vessel to keep Lyra alive . The evidence left everyone stunned . " This family completely shatters all moral bounds . Terrifying ! " No wonder Haley terminated the pregnancy . If it were me , I couldn't stand it either . The pup was just a tool from the start . " Suddenly ... I kind of feel sorry for Haley . " Devon finally realized something was wrong and tried to rush forward , but the pack warriors held him back . The media wouldn't allow such a blockbuster moment to be interrupted . Chapter 9 I then played home surveillance footage showing how they dragged me to the pack hospital . Then , it was the surgical footage from the werewolf hospital , a critical piece of evidence I obtained in exchange for agreeing not to press charges against the facility for negligence . The forced C - section scene was horrifying ; even I shivered watching it again . " This isn't something people should even be capable of . I can't imagine how helpless Haley must have felt . " " Seeing this makes my skin crawl . And then they try to twist it against her ? This family deserves to rot in hell ! " " They must be punished ! Make them pay ! " Finally , I held up a DNA test report to the camera . " For years , I never understood why my parents never cared for me . It was when I saw this report I realized I am not their biological daughter . " I was the daughter of a friend of my father . My real parents died during a pack conflict .
