Chapter 185: The Deception Unveiled

(Author’s POV)

Caleb’s voice scraped against the silence, rough like gravel.

“Mom, I was wrong. We were all wrong… We were all deceived by Celine.”

Livia froze instantly. She stared at her son, her eyes wide with shock. She couldn’t process the words. In her mind, Celine was the perfect daughter who had stayed by the bedside day and night.

Shock quickly twisted into defensive anger. Livia spun around, her finger stabbing the air toward

Amelia.

“It’s you! You did something when you used those needles just now!” Livia shrieked. “You deliberately stuck silver needles into his brain! You’re trying to poison his mind!”

Amelia rolled her eyes, her face twisting with impatience.

“Shut up, Livia,” Amelia snapped. “If I wanted him brain–dead, he wouldn’t be speaking right now. Ears are for listening, not for decoration.”

Caleb felt his wolf, Noah, slamming against his ribcage in fury. He couldn’t stand his mother’s stupidity a second longer.

He gathered every ounce of strength left in his body.

“Enough! Shut up!” Caleb roared.

The sound was hoarse, but it carried the undeniable weight of an Alpha’s command. Livia flinched, silenced by the raw power in his voice.

Caleb gasped for air, his chest heaving painfully.

“This has nothing to do with Amelia,” he rasped, his eyes burning. “All the sin comes from Celine. She is a viper hiding under a sweet mask.”

Ethan, standing by the window, went deathly pale. He stared at his brother, unable to believe that Caleb would use such vile words for their “angelic” sister.

Celine realized the room was spinning out of her control. She had to gamble everything right now.

Tears exploded from her eyes instantly. She choked back a sob, her eyes turning red and puffy in

seconds.

“I… I admit it,” she wailed, her voice trembling. “I lied to everyone!”

She slumped her shoulders, adopting the pitiful posture that always worked on them.

“I was just so scared,” she cried, looking up through wet lashes. “When I heard Amelia was coming back to the Stone River Pack, I was terrified. I thought you would all al Jon me because I’m just

an adopted daughter.”

Ethan’s hands shook at his sides. He stared hard at her.

“Did you really hire rogues to insult and hurt Amelia?” he asked, his voice cracking.

Celine nodded frantically, her face a mask of remorse.

“I did! But I regretted it immediately! Really! And thank the Moon Goddess Amelia wasn’t hurt in the end…”

“Save it.”

Amelia let out a cold, sharp laugh. She stepped forward, invading Celine’s personal space. She

loomed over the kneeling girl like a predator eyeing dying prey.

“Stop acting, Celine. You don’t regret anything. You just failed.”

Amelia looked down at the hypocritical woman with undisguised mockery.

“You hired a bunch of sheep to kill a wolf. You aren’t crying because of guilt. You’re crying because your plan blew up in your face. Don’t insult my intelligence.”

Amelia turned her head slightly to look at the pale–faced Ethan.

“She wanted those rogues to r**e me and ruin me,” Amelia said brutally. “She wanted them to video it to threaten me, or just kill me outright. Ethan, her regret‘ is worthless.”

Ethan flinched as if struck.

“If I wasn’t strong enough,” Amelia continued, her voice like ice, “if

succeeded, I would be a rotting corpse right now.”

The words hit Ethan like a sledgehammer. He remembered Amelia trying to tell him the truth before. He had chosen to blindly trust Celine. Shame washed over him, hot and suffocating, making it impossible to meet Amelia’s eyes.

I watched them crumble, but Adrian’s reaction was different. He didn’t look ashamed. He looked

calculating.

To him, the feud between daughters didn’t matter. What mattered was that the Stone family was on the brink of losing everything. I was the only lifeline left.

He realized he had to get my forgiveness immediately.

Adrian’s face hardened. He shed his despair instantly and turned on Celine with a terrifying fury.

“You scum!” Adrian roared.

He unleashed his Alpha aura in a violent wave. It crashed down on

“Kneel! Submit!” he commanded.

It was an absolute order. Celine stood no chance against an Alpha’s pressure. Her knees slammed into the floor with a sickening thud.

Her body trembled uncontrollably. She slumped forward, forced by the pressure to expose her

neck in a gesture of total submission.

(Author’s POV)

Adrian glared down at her, his chest heaving.

“You have shamed this entire family!” he shouted.

He shot a sharp glance at Livia. Livia caught the signal immediately. If they pinned everything on the adopted daughter, they might salvage their relationship with the true heiress. They could save

their assets.

Livia wiped her face, her expression instantly shifting from confusion to heartbreak.

“You wicked girl!” Livia screamed, pointing a shaking finger at Celine. “You are the reason our family is broken! You drove a wedge between us and our own flesh and blood!”

Livia turned to Amelia, a desperate, fawning smile plastering onto her face.

“Amelia, honey, if we had known the truth, we never would have kept this snake in the Pack House,” Livia pleaded. “She is yours now. You can do whatever you want with her. Kill her if it makes you

feel better.”

Amelia looked at Livia’s groveling face. She looked like she had just med rotting garbage.

“Pass,” Amelia said coldly.

The disgust in her voice was palpable.

“I don’t need your permission to handle her,” Amelia scoffed. “And I certainly don’t need your ‘authorization.‘ Don’t shove the trash you raised into my hands like a gift. It’s nauseating.”

She looked around at the family of three, her lips curling into a sneer.

“You created this monster yourselves,” she said. “Now you want me to do your dirty work? Dream

on.”

Amelia took a step back, distancing herself from their filth.

“Since you love her so much, keep her. Enjoy the consequences. I’m just here to watch the circus, not to clean up after the clowns.”

“While I was in a coma, Caleb rasped, “Celine was secretly injecting me with high doses of wolfsbane.”

Lívia gasped. Ethan’s eyes widened in horror.

Caleb’s hand trembled as he pulled up the sleeve of his hospital gown. He exposed the inside of his elbow,

The skin was riddled with needle marks. Surrounding the punctures, the veins were black and purple–the unmistakable sign of wolfsbane poisoning.

Livia covered her mouth, a scream trapped in her throat. Wolfsbane was agonizing torture for a

wolf.

Caleb turned his head to look at Celine, who was now gray with terror.

“And she has been in contact with her biological father this whole time,” Caleb spat, his voice dripping with hate. “Every month, she transfers the money you give her to that greedy man! She was even planning to hire someone to kill Amelia again!”
