Sunlight poured through the training camp’s glass windows, warming the back of my neck. I was passed out on my desk, dead asleep, still racing Theo in my dreams-the engines roaring like thunder.

Suddenly, someone’s elbow slammed into me. Before I could even curse, Emily Wood’s voice cut through the room, loud enough to wake the dead. “Damn it, who the hell is spreading crap about Amanda?!”

I jerked awake, nearly drooling on my textbook. Annoyed, I lifted my head. “What the hell’s all the noise? I was dreaming about winning first place!”

Before I could finish, I saw Emily with red eyes, clutching her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white, the screen glowing in her face.

Camilla stood beside her, frowning so hard it looked like she could crush a mosquito between her brows.

“Amanda? What happened to Amanda?” My heart skipped a beat. Sleep vanished instantly as I leaned over to look at Emily’s phone.

One glance, and my blood boiled. The top trending post on Howlstead’s news feed was a total mess, “Top Student Amanda Suspected of Being a Kept Woman, Eclipse Pack Leader Spotted Picking Her Up.”

There were several photos attached-Amanda stepping out of Samson’s car, her face clear and smiling. The post

didn’t say a single true thing. It just used those pictures to twist the story and flood the comments

with trash.

“Damn it!” I slammed my palm on the desk so hard that the kids in front of me flinched and turned around.

Camilla’s face was grim as she scrolled. “This post has only been up for thirty minutes, and it’s already spreading across every pack. The comments are going crazy.”

Emily looked like she was about to cry. “Josh, do something! Amanda’s a good person. We can’t let them smear her like this!”

“Calm down!” I pulled out my phone, logged into my social account, and started typing fast.

Who am I? I’m Josh, fourth son of the Eclipse Pack’s Ortegas. Anyone stupid enough to mess with someone living under our roof must have a death wish.

“I’m Josh from Eclipse Pack. Samson is my older brother. You’re posting photos and making up lies? Amanda is a guest at the Ortega estate. My brother giving her a ride back to camp isn’t a big deal.

“Keep spreading lies and I’ll have the legal team send you a lawyer’s letter for violating portrait and reputation rights! You’ve got ten minutes to delete the post and apologize, or I’ll make sure you’re blacklisted in every pack.

“And all you trolls in the comments, watch your mouths. Amanda earned her grades fair and square. She won first in both the physical challenge and Anglish Speech Contest. If you think you’re so great, go win

After I sent the posts, Camilla was already tracing the source. “Josh, the account’s brand new. The IP is hidden, but I’ll have the tech team dig it up. We’ll find them.”

Emily nodded, pulling out her phone. “I heard Amanda shares a dorm with Clara and Jennifer. I’ll try to reach them—maybe they know what’s going on!”

She quickly dialed a video call. The screen lit up, showing Clara and Jennifer, both furious.

“Emily! We were just about to call you!” Clara shouted. “We saw the post! It has to be that bitch Marissa! She’s hated Amanda for ages. Just yesterday, she was badmouthing her, saying she was being kept!”

Jennifer nodded, her tone steady but full of anger. “Marissa’s a Beta from the Windspire Pack. She’s always been jealous of Amanda’s grades. Yesterday, she saw Samson pick Amanda up. I bet she hired a paparazzi to take those photos.”

I gripped my phone so tight my knuckles turned white.

“Got it.” My voice came out low and sharp. “Camilla, track down that IP and get proof it’s her. Emily, you and Clara and Jennifer keep an eye on Marissa-see if she makes another move. I’ll have the legal team draft a lawyer’s letter. Anyone who dares mess with the Eclipse Pack will pay for it.”
