Story: Mated to Ruin
“Now when we apply to dissolve our bonds, we have complete evidence to make them lose management rights to their entire packs!”
I lean back on the velvet sofa, enjoying their fury.
“I never expected that the little orphan girl Talon and I once sponsored for school would have such grand, calculating schemes.”
“When I return to Oakshade Pack to inherit the Alpha position, I hope our packs can unite and become stronger together.”
I raise my wineglass.
“A female alliance that can reshape the werewolf political landscape.”
“I hope our wishes come true and those scumbags pay the price they deserve,” Ivy tells me.
“I believe we females can also become excellent Alphas – better than these foolish men who think with their lower halves!”
Women cheer and clink glasses.
“To the downfall of unfaithful mates!”
“To female power!”
I can’t help but laugh, as I feel truly happy for the first time in weeks.
We spent hours strategising. Each woman will file a formal complaint with the Alpha Council. The evidence is overwhelming.
By morning, half the Alphas in the southern territories will be under investigation.
That night, everyone drinks until they are completely intoxicated with wine and revenge.
But the next day, as I’m sleeping off the wine in my silk sheets, my best friend Ivy wakes me up with a violent urgency.
“Seraphina! Wake up right now! Your intimate photos have been leaked online!”
I sit up immediately, my drunken haze dissipating like smoke.
My heart races as Ivy thrusts her phone into my face.
I open my phone with trembling fingers, and sure enough, over a hundred s*x videos have been processed in high definition, compressed, and distributed across the entire internet.
Every major social media platform. Every werewolf forum. Every gossip website.
My face appears everywhere.
My social media accounts are flooded with private messages. There are thousands of them.
I scroll through with increasing horror.
[Never would have guessed. You act so pure normally, claiming to be the only daughter of Oakshade Pack’s Alpha, but you are just a bitch.
[How much per night, sister? What about $99.99 with free home delivery?]
[Do you feel lonely, little kitten? I can deliver to your door.
[Holy crap, she’s wild! Look at her in video #47!]
[This is why you can’t put your trust in these high-class f***s. They are all whores underneath.
My hands begin trembling violently.
“Seraphina, breathe,” Ivy urges, grabbing my shoulders. “Just breathe.”
But I can’t. The messages keep coming. Hundreds more are flooding in every minute.
My phone’s notifications make me want to throw it against the wall.
Only I had access to the entire footage from that arena. After I won, the host handed everything to me personally.
The only person with the ability to leak it online is the mastermind himself, Talon!
“That bastard,” I whisper. “That absolute bastard.”
But before I can call him and express my outrage, my phone rings.
The former Alpha and Luna of the Ashfern Pack, Talon’s parents Richard and Maria, have called me.
I respond with a shaking voice.
“Hello, Seraphina… we’re so sorry. This time we meant well but caused terrible harm…”
Richard’s voice is full of guilt and exhaustion.
I freeze, my anger turning to confusion.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean you caused harm?”
Through their halting explanation, I finally understand the entire devastating story.
