Chapter 284\u00a0<\/p>\n
Third Person\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten minutes later, the three wolves who had nearly torn each other apart were finally forced into separate corners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A ring of wary crew members stood around them like sentries, eyes sharp, muscles tense, ready to intervene at the slightest sign of another frenzy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the human wall, the director squatted alone, clutching the shattered equipment like a wounded cub, sobbing quietly to himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir\u2019s eyes still bloodshot. Pain, hatred, and regret churned violently in his gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Moonvale Pack never treated you badly,\u201d he said hoarsely, every word scraping his throat raw. \u201cEven at the end, we still gave you one million. How could you stab us in the back so casually? Do you know Father was so enraged he collapsed and was hospitalized?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the yacht gathering, Fenrir had failed to secure a buyer. It had been Alpha Remus himself- swallowing his last shred of pride-who had begged and negotiated endlessly to find someone willing to take the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The price was humiliatingly low, but it would have eased the Moonvale Pack\u2019s immediate crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet even that fragile lifeline had snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the very moment the contract was to be signed, the news channels erupted with a live broadcast: the Moonvale Pack\u2019s former rival unveiling a new product.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A product powered by Moonvale\u2019s proprietary technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The would-be buyer exploded in fury, overturning the table, cursing Alpha Remus to his face, and spreading word throughout the territory that the Moonvale Pack were liars who sold promises they could not keep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pack had only recently announced bankruptcy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That broadcast sent creditors swarming like carrion birds, convinced they would never be repaid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir had imagined many disasters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never imagined the deepest blade lodged in the Moonvale Pack\u2019s spine would be driven by Celestine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 284\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
The technology had been protected with layers of secrecy-but Celestine had been Moonvale.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alpha Remus and Fenrir had doted on her, placed her above even Aysel, their blood-born kin. The research team had never guarded against her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using her access during her internship, she had effortlessly colluded with their enemies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir wanted to crush her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That project was his life\u2019s work. The Moonvale Pack\u2019s last hope of surviving their debt crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had sold it cheaply-to his enemies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Celestine\u2019s face still bore traces of fear, but her lips curled in merciless mockery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I?\u201d she sneered. \u201cThe Moonvale Pack\u2019s downfall has nothing to do with me. Didn\u2019t you already reclaim all the shares and assets you gave me? When I got out, how did you treat me? Coldness. Neglect. Suppression. One after another. Did you deserve my loyalty?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She touched her bruised neck and laughed softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFenrir, this is your retribution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou ungrateful wolf,\u201d Fenrir spat, each word squeezed from between clenched teeth. \u201cWe never should have taken you in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had known the entire pack was clinging to that patent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had watched him lower himself, begging Alpha after Alpha, smashing into dead ends like a beaten dog-yet she had said nothing. Worse, she had quietly taken Moonvale\u2019s money at the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Celestine laughed sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? And when Alpha Remus built connections off the reputation of adopting me-when he paraded me as a \u2018genius dancer daughter\u2019 to gain resources-why didn\u2019t you say you shouldn\u2019t have taken me in then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She straightened, eyes cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me be clear. I\u2019m now Damon Blackwood\u2019s mate. If you don\u2019t want trouble, crawl away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His\u00a0<\/p>\n
gaze\u00a0<\/p>\n
his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
drifted to the rescued wedding gown-now stained and rumpled-dark fury churning in\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 284\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
After destroying the Moonvale Pack, she still wanted to marry Damon Blackwood happily under the moon?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dream on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCelestine Ward,\u201d he said flatly. \u201cYou will pay for this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a brief second, her heart tightened-but she quickly lifted her chin again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I pay any price,\u201d she sneered, \u201cfigure out how to save yourself. Fenrir-you\u2019re not some noble young master anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir gave her one last look, then turned away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took one step-and met Aysel\u2019s calm gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had sought Celestine deliberately. He had never expected to see Aysel here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing she had witnessed the most wretched moment of his life, shame flickered across his face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they were young, Aysel had always looked at him with trust and admiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How bitterly ironic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had chosen Celestine and abandoned Aysel-only to reap this consequence so quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every betrayal Celestine committed against Moonvale returned like a thrown blade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From beginning to end, Magnus had only pressured Moonvale\u2019s businesses slightly, nudging currents at key moments. The true collapse-the loss of reputation, the debt, the ruin-had been caused by their own past choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fenrir pressed his lips together, then stepped forward under the stunned, gossiping stares of\u00a0<\/p>\n
the crew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAysel,\u201d he said hoarsely. \u201cWe\u2026 moved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The villa had been seized by the courts. The family of four now lived in a rented three- bedroom apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room Luna Evelyn had renovated for Aysel-she had never stayed in it for even a single night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour belongings are at the new place. If you ever want to come home, the address is-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need,\u201d Aysel interrupted gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled-light, unburdened, as if everything had already passed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re just meaningless old things. They take up space. Burn them. As for new home\u2026 I already have one. I won\u2019t go to someone else\u2019s den.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The blood drained from Fenrir\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He staggered back half a step, laughing bitterly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight. You already have a home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had heard it. He had seen it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That Alpha treated her with care and devotion beyond anything the Moonvale Pack had ever given her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crying and laughing at once, Fenrir turned and stumbled toward the exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had lost their home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had only ever hurt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon Blackwood watched Fenrir\u2019s shattered departure and saw his own reflection in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was no different from the Moonvale Pack. Their indulgence and tolerance of Celestine had led to this bitter end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aysel rejecting them was only right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did not humiliate himself by approaching her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Head bowed, he walked toward the door like a hollowed shell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you going?\u201d Celestine grabbed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHome,\u201d Damon said, brushing her hand aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had known she was not kind-but her cruelty toward the pack that raised her made her feel like a venomous serpent in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey! You can\u2019t leave!\u201d the crew shouted. \u201cYou haven\u2019t compensated for the damaged equipment!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had hesitated earlier out of shock-and pity for Fenrir\u2019s betrayal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this man? He had no excuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
4\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 284\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon turned his head slightly and looked at Celestine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019ll pay,\u201d he said coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
