Chapter15
The banquet hall erupted into a deafening cacophony of gasps and horrified screams.
Stephnie’s perfectly painted smile froze, contorting into a mask of sheer terror.
“What in the name of the Moon Goddess is this madness? Frank! You can’t be serious!”
With a slow, menacing gait, an ancient figure emerged from the shadows, leaning heavily on a gnarled, enchanted staff that seemed to pulsate with dark energy. His eyes, a murky yellow and filled with a primal hunger, raked over Stephnie like a predator sizing up its prey. The stench of decay wafted off him.
“Ah, my beautiful little mate. You’ll make the perfect vessel for my seed“.

Frank stepped forward.
–
“Allow me to introduce my great – uncle. And he’s chosen you, Stephnie, to be his mate“.
Stephnie stumbled backward, tripping over her own feet in her panic. “No! This can’t be happening! I’m Alpha Finn’s chosen! I’m supposed to be the Luna of the most powerful pack! You love me, Frank! You told me I was your everything!”
she wailed, tears streaming down her face and ruining her meticulously applied makeup.
In an instant, the butler lunged forward.
His paw–like hand, the size of a dinner plate, connected with Stephnie’s face in a thunderous slap.

The force of the blow sent her flying across the room, crashing into a table laden with fine china.
The sound of shattering porcelain mixed with her screams of pain. “Silence, your ungrateful wretch! You will address the Alpha with the respect he deserves, or I’ll rip out your tongue!” the butler roared. Mathew, his face ashen and his knees trembling, rushed to Frank’s side.
“Lord Finn, there must be some mistake! My daughter is too young, too precious for such a… a fate! Please, have mercy!” he pleaded, falling to his knees and groveling at Frank’s feet.
Frank looked down.
“Mercy? You speak of mercy when you’ve

allowed your daughter to torment and destroy the life of an innocent woman? Your daughter will marry my great uncle, and in return, I’ll grant you the privilege of serving my pack. Refuse, and I’ll raze your apartment to the ground, leaving nothing but ash and bones in my wake“.
“Dad! Don’t do this to me! I’m your flesh and blood! You can’t sell me off like a piece of property!”
Stephnie screeched, scrambling to her feet and lunging at Mathew. But he shoved her
away.
“Be grateful, girl! This is an honor! And think of the power and wealth it will bring our
family!”
Mathew hissed, his eyes wild with greed.

He turned back to Frank, his face splitting into a sickeningly obsequious smile.
“Lord Finn, the wedding will take place immediately. I’ll ensure she’s… compliant“.
Stephnie, driven mad by fear and betrayal, launched herself at Frank once more.
“You’re lying! You’re just trying to hurt me! You love me! You have to!” she screamed, aiming for his throat.

Frank’s reaction was lightning – fast.
He grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground with one hand. “Love? You don’t even know the meaning of the word. I loved a vision, a memory of a kind–hearted girl who saved a life without a second thought. A girl who was nothing like the conniving, heartless monster you’ve revealed yourself

to be. That girl was Stella, and you will pay for what you’ve done to her, he growled.
With a brutal toss, he threw her across the
room.
“Take her away. Chain her in the dungeon until the wedding. And if she so much as utters a word of protest, break her bones one by one,” Frank commanded.
The servants rushed forward to drag the struggling, screaming Stephnie away.
As the chaos began to subside, Mathew, still eager to curry favor, approached Frank once
more.
“Lord Finn, about our business
arrangements… surely now that this matter is settled, we can-”

He never got to finish his sentence.
Frank’s fist, moving faster than the eye could follow, slammed into Mathew’s face with a force that was nothing short of cataclysmic.
The sound of bones breaking echoed through the hall like thunder. Mathew was lifted off his feet and sent flying across the room, crashing through a large window.
Glass shards rained down around him as he lay on the ground, blood pooling beneath his broken body.
Frank stalked over to him, his eyes blazing with fury. “You think you can use your daughter as a bargaining chip and face no consequences? You’re a spineless worm, Mathew, and you’ll pay for your treachery with your life. ” he snarled.

He began to rain down a relentless barrage of kicks and punches. Mathew’s screams of agony filled the air, but Frank showed no mercy. Mathew’s body was further mangled and broken.
“Keep him alive. Barely. I want him to spend the rest of his days in excruciating pain,”
Later, in the dead of night, Frank’s custom – built, enchanted motorcycle roared through the mountains at breakneck speed.
His grip on the handlebars was so tight that his knuckles were white. “Stella, I’ve avenged you. I’ve made them pay for every tear you’ve shed,” he muttered to himself, his voice carried away by the wind. But just as he was beginning to feel a sense of relief, his phone rang. Answering it, he heard his beta’s voice, trembling with fear.

“Alpha… it’s too late. Stella… she’s married. To Alpha Bruce. He woke up from his coma the moment she arrived, and they’ve already completed the mating ritual.” the beta stammered.
“No… no! This can’t be happening! I was supposed to make everything right!”
