Start reading →Original title: I Took the Fall for the Alpha’s Mistress
Seven days of overtime through Thanksgiving. I was ready to kill someone.First day back at Silver Moon territory after the holiday, Luna Sophia came storming into the council hall in heeled boots, screaming at the top of her lungs."I'm going to find that homewrecker!""I'm going to find the shameless tramp who kept my mate away from the territory for seven days!"Every wolf in the middle of pack business froze. Some of them even pulled out their phones to record.In my previous life, a young she-wolf named Evelyn had stood in the crowd and pointed at me, timid as a church mouse."During Thanksgiving break... it seems like Viola was the only one who stayed with Alpha Kane to handle border affairs..."I'd barely lifted my head, eyes swollen and bloodshot from lack of sleep, when a slap cracked across my face.Sophia grabbed my hair and screamed in front of the entire pack that I was a shameless fox who'd used pack business as an excuse to seduce the Alpha, that I'd hogged Kane to myself all through Thanksgiving.Kane didn't say a word in my defense.He even said, right there in front of everyone, cold as ice, that I was the one who'd been clinging to him.Then he personally stripped my badge and threw me out of the core territory.I lost my position and the pack I'd spent years protecting.The humiliation spread to every neighboring territory within days.Everyone was talking. Saying Viola from Silver Moon had no shame. That she'd gone after a mated Alpha. That she got what she deserved.Then Sophia, still furious, came after me in her car while I was leaving the territory. Ran me right into the snowbank by the frozen lake.When I opened my eyes again, I was right back at the moment Sophia burst into the council hall.She hadn't even opened her mouth yet.I slammed my hands on the table and shot to my feet."Sis, you're looking for the cheater?""God damn it, so am I! I wanna know which she-wolf has a death wish big enough to steal the Alpha!"

### Chapter 1: Chapter-1
Before the enforcement squad arrived, Isabella had already lost every last shred of patience.She stood in front of Elena, chest heaving, all the fury she'd been holding back finally detonating.Elena clutched her swollen cheek, the fragile innocent act long gone, looking like someone whose last disguise had been ripped clean off.On the other side, Damian was on his knees in front of Isabella."Isabella, I was wrong.""We've been mates for years. You can't really hand me over to the Elder Council.""Give me one more chance. I can explain everything."Isabella looked down at him. Nothing left in her eyes but disgust and the cold stare of a stranger."Mates?"She let out one short laugh."My family fought to get you the Alpha seat. My family gave you warriors and silver. I spent years shielding you from the Elders' doubts. And this is how you repay me?""You were meeting another woman behind my back. You had the whole pack covering for you. You were ready to throw Viola out as your scap
"Check it."Isabella said one word. Cold enough to frost glass.The treasury elder had been hiding behind the crowd watching the show for a while now.When she called his name, the old wolf visibly flinched.He hurried out clutching the ledger, forehead already slick with sweat.Isabella didn't even glance at Damian. She spoke only to the elder. "Pull every pack expense from the seven days of Thanksgiving.""Hotel charges, private dining, gift purchases, and every extra under Damian's name.""And Viola's pack stipend.""Her seven-day duty pay, border travel costs, and Moonshade Inn room fees. Every single item."Damian's face went dark."Isabella!""How long are you going to keep this up?"Isabella looked up at him. The chill in her eyes could stop a heartbeat."Whose money built this territory's treasury? You haven't forgotten, have you?""Back when you were a nobody Alpha with no foundation, who went to the Elder Council and fought to put you in that seat?""I put you up there. And I
The hall was silent as death.The wolves who'd been whispering moments ago had all gone mute. Dozens of stares locked onto me.I looked at Elena. My voice was cold."Weren't you just saying it was suspicious that Damian and I were on comms late at night?""Then maybe you can explain why your voice shows up in his recording."Elena's lips trembled. The tears came fast."Viola, you can't just decide it's me because a voice sounds similar...""Voices can be faked. How do I know you didn't plant fake evidence to clear yourself?"Damian grabbed the opening. "Exactly. One comm recording doesn't prove anything.""Viola, don't drag innocent pack members into your mess just because you're under suspicion."I almost laughed."Dragging innocent people?"I pointed at the surveillance footage still up on the crystal screen."Then explain why I was receiving your pack orders in the middle of the night.""Why you had me rewriting the northern alliance terms. Why you kept me on border comms until dawn
Elena's tears came flooding out."I was handling the hotel registration for Alpha Damian!""He said there were trade envoys from outside the territory staying at the Moonshade Inn over Thanksgiving. I just picked up the room pass like he told me to.""Pack assistants handle this kind of thing for the Alpha all the time. What's so strange about that?"I nearly choked laughing."Booking a private Moonlight Suite for outside trade envoys? For seven consecutive nights?""You actually expect anyone to buy that?"Someone in the crowd couldn't hold it in. A laugh escaped, but one look at Damian's face and they ducked their head.Sophia wasn't laughing at all.The fury behind her eyes was barely contained.Damian immediately stepped in front of Elena."I told her to do it.""She was just following pack protocol. She had no idea what happened in that room."I stared at him. The irony was almost too much."Alpha Damian, didn't you just say I was the one chasing you?""Now the hotel records show
Damian's face finally went all the way dark.He stepped forward, clearly trying to shut this down. "Viola, cut it out.""Phones contain pack business and private information. If we force an inspection and something leaks, who takes the blame?"I laughed right in his face."When you were putting me on trial in front of the whole pack just now, nobody seemed worried about privacy.""Or does the Alpha get privacy while regular pack members don't?"Low murmurs spread through the hall. More than a few wolves were looking at Damian differently now.Elena was still crying. She sniffled softly. "Viola, you probably already deleted everything ahead of time.""Acting all confident now just because you know there's nothing left to find."I looked at her. And smiled."Nothing to find?"I raised my hand and pointed at the receipt in Sophia's hand."Then check the Moonshade Inn.""Messages can be deleted. They can be faked. But the hotel guard logs and the scent imprints left by anyone who entered t
The second those words left my mouth, the entire council hall went dead silent.The wolves who'd been whispering shut up instantly. Dozens of phone cameras swung toward me.Elena's face went white, but she was still fighting to hold that innocent look together.Damian walked out of the conference room behind me.The smile on his face hadn't fully faded. He clearly assumed I was cornered and this was my last desperate move.Isabella locked her eyes on me. "Who?"I caught my breath, but I didn't point at Elena. Not yet.Last life, I'd rushed to prove myself and walked straight into the trap they'd set.This time, I wasn't going to hand myself over with a single accusation.I took a step forward. And smiled."Sis, if I just say a name right now, you might not believe me.""So why don't we let the evidence do the talking?"Isabella frowned. "Evidence?"I turned and swept my gaze across every wolf in the hall."Think carefully. During those seven days of Thanksgiving, who was the first pers
