Chapter 5
With those words, the traitor Omega collapsed, unable to withstand the pain, slipping into unconsciousness.
A deep silence fell over the crowd, all eyes turning to Diana, who was standing beside the Alpha Lawrence.
Her eyes were wide with panic, completely at a loss, unable to meet the gazes of those around her.
“Diana, what’s going on? Did you order him to do this?” Alpha Lawrence demanded, his voice sharp.
“I… I didn’t! It wasn’t me!”
Suddenly, she crumpled to the ground,

burying her face in her hands as sobs wracked her body, ignoring the anxious crowd waiting for her explanation.
“Everyone heard the traitor Omega say that you gave him the drug. What proof do you have that this isn’t your doing?” Alpha Lawrence’s gaze was unwavering as he pressed her.
He had always been patient with Diana like this.
Then, Diana rose to her feet and pointed at me. “It’s Luna Emma. She gave me the drug, and it was her who threatened me into doing this.
”
Everyone turned to look at me, and I was momentarily stunned by her accusation, unable to process her words.

It wasn’t until Alpha Lawrence ordered that I be locked in the basement that I finally snapped out of my daze.
I broke free from the hands that held me, falling to my knees before Alpha Lawrence, my voice shaking as I protested:
“I didn’t order Diana to do anything. I never touched the aphrodisiac. She’s lying. She’s framing me!”
“Lying? Then why don’t you let them search your room? With how sudden everything happened, the drug must still be there, you couldn’t have thrown it away in time.”
Diana’s bold words left everyone confused. Who was the real traitor here?
I wasn’t afraid of a search, but this kind of humiliation was too much, even for Luan, the

leader.
His subordinates would never dare to act so rashly.
“What are you waiting for? Search it!” Alpha Lawrence’s command rang out, and his men moved to my room.
I remained kneeling before him, waiting silently for the search results. I couldn’t fathom why Diana was so certain the drug would be found in my room–wasn’t she the one who had done all of this?
Then, a voice from the other side of the room called out, “Report, Alpha. We found a bottle of aphrodisiac under Luna’s bed.”
I stared blankly as Diana handed the aphrodisiac to Alpha Lawrence, my mind overwhelmed with shock, leaving me unable

to think clearly.
Diana looked at me triumphantly, then walked to the center of the hall, her voice ringing out.
“Everyone saw that, right? Luna Emma is the traitor in the pack. Her actions not only tarnish the Alpha’s reputation but also put the safety of our people at risk. Does someone like her deserve to stay in the Shadow Pack?”
The crowd erupted in chaos, whispers of “not worthy” echoed in my ears.
When I raised my eyes, Alpha Lawrence’s cold, indifferent gaze struck me like a dagger, and I found myself unable to defend myself.
Alpha Lawrence gestured for silence, then began to announce my punishment.

“Luna Emma, caught using forbidden substances and refusing to take
responsibility for her actions, will be locked
in the basement. Until she confesses to her crime.”
Then I was shackled and dragged away. Before I left, Diana flashed me a smug smile. Her goal had been achieved.
