---- Chapter 2 "Regina!" Clara burst into tears, her voice trembling. "Why are you doing this to me?" I stared at her coldly. "Doing what to you?" "you know Fabian and I grew up together! You're jealous of our friendship, so you're trying to drive a wedge between us!" Tears streamed down her perfect, doll-like face. "I'm just not well, and I need a friend to look after me. Why do you have to be so cruel?" Ialmost laughed. "You're wearing my Luna shawl and cuddling up to my fiancé, and you call that friendship?" "That's just... it's just because the moonlight helps with my illness," Clara sobbed. "Fabian was just being kind and lent it to me. I didn't think you'd misunderstand." "Misunderstand?" I held up my phone. "Is this video ---- amisunderstanding too?" Fabian finally spoke. ''That's enough, Regina. Clara's right. You've gone too far." I turned to leave. Wasting another word on these two scumbags was pointless. But as I reached the edge of the territory, a powerful Alpha presence slammed into me. The force knocked me to my knees, and I coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Liam?" I looked up to see my former mate standing a short distance away, his eyes like ice. "Look what you've done," he said, holding up his phone. "Look what you posted on PackNet." The screen glowed, showing a private PackNet account. The account name: Regina & Fabian's Love Nest. ---- It was filled with intimate pictures of Fabian and Clara. Hugging, kissing, and even more private scenes. "T didn't post this!" I scrambled to my feet, shocked. "Besides you and Fabian, no one knows this account exists," Liam's voice was frigid. "You used dark magic to fake these images just to slander Clara? You're bullying her because she doesn't have a wolf soul and can't even register for PackNet!" I understood in an instant. This was a trap set by Fabian and the witch. Only he knew the password to our private account. "Liam, just listen to me-" "Enough!" he cut me off. "I can't believe you were ever my fated mate! Thank the Goddess I rejected you. Avicious she-wolf like you doesn't deserve Clara's perfection!" Footsteps rushed up behind me. ---- Fabian had arrived with Clara. The moment Clara saw the images on the phone, she covered her face in horror. "Oh god, Regina, how could you? These are all fake!" "Liam, calm down," Fabian said, walking over with a heavy expression. "I know these pictures are hard to look at, but Regina... she just loves me too much. That's why she did this." "Loves you too much?" Liam's eyes burned with fury. "She used dark magic to frame an innocent person!" "T understand your anger," Fabian sighed. "But for my sake, please forgive her this once. I'll handle her." Handle me? I couldn't believe my ears. "Fabian, please don't cover for her," Clara cried, her tears a waterfall. "This isn't the first time she's targeted me. I'm so scared..." "It won't happen again," Fabian said, turning to me.
