Chapter 17

"Alpha Kaelen! Do you think you're some kind of clean person?"

"The one who wronged Seraphina the most—isn't that you? When it comes down to it, the one who deserves to die most is you. As long as Seraphina is a mother, she will never forgive a murderer who killed her two children. You two will never be together again in this lifetime!"

Hearing Elara's curse, Alpha Kaelen felt as if his heart was blocked.

He knew all too well that Elara's words were right—he was the real culprit.

But Alpha Kaelen was utterly unwilling to believe the fact that I would truly never forgive him.

The thought of never being able to see me again for the rest of his life made Alpha Kaelen want to tear his heart out to stop the pain.

In the following time, Alpha Kaelen continued searching for traces of me while punishing himself like a form of self-torture.

He stayed awake day and night, constantly searching for any sign of me.

But every time, all that awaited him was disappointment.

Only when his body couldn't hold up anymore would Alpha Kaelen briefly fall into unconsciousness.

He persisted, not letting himself die early, only because he wanted to apologize and atone to me in person.

Another half year passed like this, and the Blackmoon Pack began to be targeted by a mysterious force.

Due to his physical condition, Alpha Kaelen had almost no power to fight back against this fierce mysterious force.

Moreover, a lot of evidence of Alpha Kaelen's crimes appeared online.

What finally made Alpha Kaelen understand who was behind it all was the recording he had heard on that USB drive.

The Blackmoon Pack gradually fell, and Alpha Kaelen lost his protection.

This time, there was no Seraphina falling from the sky to save him.

He would soon be imprisoned along with the bankruptcy of the Blackmoon Pack.

After understanding who was targeting him, Alpha Kaelen completely stopped struggling.

He waited for the coming prison sentence.

Alpha Kaelen's only thought now was to see me one more time before going in.

He waited patiently and sadly.

......

I saw Alpha Kaelen again at the scene of his arrest.

Due to the guilt he felt for the crimes he had committed, plus the fact that the Blackmoon Pack had fallen far behind the Sunstone Pack's development over this past year.

So when facing the Sunstone Pack's attack, Alpha Kaelen showed no ability to fight back.

About this, I only felt happy.

I didn't know if Alpha Kaelen would feel guilty or remorseful when he saw the things I left behind.

But because of him, I lost two children. This hatred—I never gave up on it from beginning to end.

I didn't give up any opportunity. Even without developing a romantic relationship with Alpha Darius, I still shamelessly took on many projects from the Silvermoon Pack.

All of this was just to strengthen the Sunstone Pack's power, so I could complete my revenge against Alpha Kaelen as soon as possible.

Finally, through my constant accumulation, the Sunstone Pack had grown strong enough to stand against the Blackmoon Pack.

From that moment on, I continuously sent information online domestically.

I knew that although Alpha Kaelen and Elara had held a marking ceremony, they still hadn't completed their mate bond.

Though I wasn't clear about the reason, using this, I instigated Elara's family pack to do many things.

But it was also because Elara's family pack was inherently greedy.

Plus, Alpha Kaelen thought he could control this greedy hyena pack, which gave me the opportunity to take advantage.

Having worked at the Blackmoon Pack for many years, I completely understood the Blackmoon Pack's structure.

Using Elara's family pack, I planted many spies in the Blackmoon Pack. I also understood that after Elara's family joined, the Blackmoon Pack not only didn't become stronger, but actually became much worse than before.

I wasn't clear why, but this didn't stop me from taking advantage of this point.

I started with small things, bit by bit shaking this sleeping giant that was the Blackmoon Pack.

After confirming they had finally fallen into my trap, I massively released the evidence I had collected online.

In the past, these vague pieces of evidence would have been discovered by the Blackmoon Pack before they were even released.

Even I, the person behind it all, would have been immediately caught.

But now, they no longer had the power to face my attack.

Due to Elder Genevieve's repeated requests, Alpha Kaelen still held a press conference, preparing to clarify the recent rumors online.

It was at this moment that I felt the time had come.

Leading a large group of police, I rudely charged directly into the Blackmoon Pack's press conference.

The moment he saw me, Alpha Kaelen's eyes immediately turned red.

Ignoring everyone present and completely unable to see the police behind me, he rushed straight to my front.

He reached out his hand, trembling as he tried to touch my face, but I mercilessly slapped it away.

"Seraphina, you finally appeared. I've been waiting for you for so long, I really waited for you for a very long time. I'm sorry, about the children, and all those past events—it's all my fault."

He held back his sobs, constantly apologizing to me.

But I felt his apologies were far too hypocritical and shallow.

If Alpha Kaelen truly felt guilty, then without waiting for me to make a move against him, he would have ended his own life.

I looked him up and down with unfriendly eyes.

I could see that he had indeed not been living well during this time.

Even though he had been well-dressed for today's press conference, I could still see his exhaustion from his reddened eyes.

Not only that, Alpha Kaelen had lost at least twenty pounds.

From his previously just-right sturdy build, he had become a thin shadow of a person.

When the press conference first started, Alpha Kaelen's eyes were dull and lifeless, like fallen stars, completely lacking his former alpha presence.

Only after seeing me did he regain some semblance of humanity.

After confirming he had been living poorly during this time, I let out a cold laugh.

"Alpha Kaelen, seeing that you've been living badly makes me really happy. You should rot in the mud together with Elara."

"Don't even think about holding this press conference today. Go with the police. All those things you did, all the harm you caused me—it all needs to be repaid!"

My eyes held no trace of former love, only endless coldness.

Alpha Kaelen stared blankly into my eyes and suddenly began dropping large tears.

The next moment, he knelt directly in front of me.

He kept banging his head hard against the ground until it was bloody, but he didn't stop.

During the time I was gone, he had relied on this kind of intense pain countless times to remind himself to stay alive, until he could see me and atone to me before he could die.

While kowtowing to me, Alpha Kaelen also kept apologizing.

"Seraphina, I'm sorry to you and our two children. But I really didn't understand what was happening at the time. I didn't expect that Elara's child wasn't sick at all."

"At that time, I thought our daughter's surgery hadn't started yet, that she could still wait. I never thought she would just... leave like that."

"When you were attacked by rogues, I was indeed with Elara. I thought just briefly reuniting with them wouldn't cause any problems."

"At that time, I also felt guilty toward them. I never imagined we would lose our second child like this."

"I know that in your eyes, I'm already a damned sinner. But I still have to apologize to you. Only after you left did I realize I had already fallen in love with you."

"I will follow your wishes and atone for my sins. But I hope you won't forget me."

As he spoke, tears kept falling.

Only now did Elder Genevieve realize what was happening.

She angrily stepped forward, wanting to stop her son from doing such a thing, but was stopped by Alpha Kaelen's angry shout.

"What kind of poison did you feed my son, you shameless she-wolf?"

"If it weren't for you, he would still be fine with Elara. It's all you, all you who ruined the Blackmoon Pack!"

Elder Genevieve cursed with foul language.

Alpha Kaelen finally couldn't stand it anymore and angrily scolded: "Enough!"

"Mother, do you know? If you had been a little nicer to Seraphina, if you hadn't constantly spoken badly about Seraphina in front of me, the Blackmoon Pack wouldn't have fallen to this state!"

"You love that child so much, but he's not even my biological son. Elara only came back because she saw the Blackmoon Pack rising again. She's the real shameless she-wolf!"

Elder Genevieve was stunned by Alpha Kaelen's scolding.

After learning that Elara's child wasn't his biological son, Alpha Kaelen had sent him back to Elara's family pack.

But because he was afraid his mother would be heartbroken, he hadn't explained clearly to Elder Genevieve.

Until this moment, Elder Genevieve had always thought the pup was her eldest grandson, who had just been staying at his maternal pack recently.

After learning this news, Elder Genevieve looked at the scene before her, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

Soon, Elder Genevieve was sent to the hospital.

Elder Genevieve hadn't been involved in any of the Blackmoon Pack's affairs.

She also had some money of her own, so even if Alpha Kaelen went to prison, he didn't need to worry about his mother's livelihood.

After watching his mother being taken away, Alpha Kaelen smiled bitterly and continued speaking.

"I know you hate me now, and I know you also hate Elara and want to get revenge on her."

"But I've already done this for you in advance."

"Elara was tortured to death. She suffered greatly before dying. I threw her body into a sewer. I knew you couldn't bring yourself to be so ruthless, and I didn't want her to dirty your hands."

"But if it weren't for Elara, our children wouldn't have died at all."

When he spoke of Elara, his eyes were full of hatred.

I hadn't expected Alpha Kaelen would go this far. The police beside me had already recorded everything Alpha Kaelen said.

I thought I would feel satisfied, but now looking at Alpha Kaelen's pleasing expression, I didn't know what to say.

Finally, I just asked one question.

"Years ago, did you save a kidnapped little girl?"

Alpha Kaelen looked confused. I asked again:

"Are you related to the Silvermoon Pack?"

Alpha Kaelen thought for a moment and still answered: "The Silvermoon Pack is a relative of my mother's. We had contact ten years ago, but after they developed overseas, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Hearing this, my heart suddenly relaxed.

Looking at Alpha Kaelen being taken away, still reluctantly looking back at me, I knew he wouldn't have a good time in prison either.

So the little boy who saved me back then really was Alpha Darius.

No wonder he started pursuing me after meeting me just once.

So my beginning with Alpha Kaelen was wrong from the start.

After paying such a heavy price, I finally understood this point.

Fortunately, after all this time, I had only lived through my twenties.

In the future, I still have much more scenery to see.
