Chapter 379: Too Weak to Lead

(Amelia’s POV)

I stood with my hands tucked casually into the pockets of my coat. The winter wind bit at my cheeks, but i hardly felt it. My attention was fixed on the pathetic figure kneeling in the snow before the imposing iron

gates of the Drake Pack House.

“It was Griffin!” Adrian screamed, his voice hoarse and desperate. “He forced me! He said if I didn’t hire

that rogue, he would destroy Stone Botanicals!”

Inside my mind, I felt a ripple of pure delight. My wolf, Ava, was practically dancing. She gave a mental wag of her tail, looking through my eyes at Adrian’s humiliation with deep satisfaction.

I had brought my biological father here for a simple reason. I wanted the Drake Pack to have a very cold,

very miserable winter.

More importantly, I needed the weight of public opinion. The Drake family had deep pockets and deeper connections. Without this spectacle, they would bury the investigation into the rogue assassin within a

week.

Whether that captured rogue talked or not, Griffin had to take the fall.

Adrian knew he was finished. He had broken the most sacred laws of the werewolf world by hiring a rogue

to kill his mate. There was no way out for him.

So, like a drowning man, he was flailing, trying to pull everyone down with him. He was dragging Griffin into

the abyss. He was even trying to paint a bigger target on my back by making a scene here.

But I welcomed the target.

(Amelia’s POV)

“Look at those numbers climb,” Natasha whispered excitedly.

She held her phone steady, broadcasting everything live. The screen was a blur of activity.

“The viewer count just hit a record high,” she said, angling the camera to capture Adrian’s sobbing face.

I glanced at the stream of comments rolling up the side of the screen. The werewolf community was watching, and they were furious.

“Yes, it is true,” Natasha said to the camera, her voice clear and ringing. “Alpha Adrian Stone hired a rogue assassin to murder his own mate, Livia. The rogue has been captured and is being handed over to the Enforcers as we speak.”

The comments exploded with rage. They called Adrian a beast, a traitor to his blood, a disgrace without

honor.

Then, the tide shifted. The conversation in the chat moved from Adrian to the Drake family.

“Night City is a cesspool!” one comment read.

“The Drakes built their empire on filth,” another wrote. “They tried to whitewash their reputation, but you

can’t hide the smell of rot.”

“Amelia is Pack Justice!” a user typed in bold letters.

“Finally, a breath of fresh air,” another agreed. “She is tearing down the corrupt elite one by one.”

They were cheering for the destruction of the Drake dynasty. They were hungry for the truth about the dirty dealings hidden behind these high walls.

(Amelia’s POV)

The heavy iron gates groaned open.

Griffin Drake stormed out. He was flanked by the arrogant Butler Drake and a dozen burly guards.

I looked him over and almost laughed. His eyes were bloodshot, rimmed with dark circles. He looked less like the heir to a powerful pack and more like a junkie coming down from a bad high.

“What is the meaning of this?” Griffin roared, his voice cracking.

I shrugged, keeping my posture relaxed.

“Just facilitating a conversation,” I said, pointing a gloved finger at Adrian. “He seemed to have a lot to say

to you.”

“Griffin! Tell them!” Adrian lunged forward, but the snow held him back. “Tell them you ordered the hit!”

Griffin’s face turned a violent shade of red. He glared at me with murderous intent.

“Where is your evidence?” he spat. “This is slander! You are trying to drag the Drake family name through

the mud!”

I looked directly into Natasha’s camera lens. I let a cold sneer curl my lip.

“Do I really need to do that?” I asked the audience. “Does the Drake reputation need my help to look like

garbage?”

The chat log went nuclear.

“Fifty people!” the comments screamed. “Fifty guests drugged out of their minds at Night City last night!”

“They are suing!”

“The Council is already drafting charges. The Drake Pack is done.”

“You don’t need to lift a finger, Amelia. They destroyed themselves.”

Adrian saw the shift in Griffin’s expression. He sensed the weakness.

“He’s lying!” Adrian bellowed at the phone, twisting the knife deeper. “That rogue assassin is famous in the

black market! He charges a fortune! Look at me! Stone Botanicals is failing. I don’t have that kind of

money!”

He pointed a shaking finger at Griffin.

“Only the Drakes have that kind of cash!” Adrian shouted. “This was Griffin’s setup to frame me and hurt

Amelia!”

Griffin looked like he was about to explode. He hadn’t anticipated the livestream. He had expected a

private confrontation, something he could control or silence.

But the internet was watching. His plan to let Adrian take the fall quietly was turning into a public

execution.

“Shut it off!” Griffin commanded, stepping toward Natasha. “Turn that camera off right now!”

He signaled to his guards. The large men took a menacing step forward.

“I wouldn’t do that,” Amelia said, her voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “We are broadcasting for our own safety. If your guards touch us, you aren’t just a suspect. You’re guilty.”

Griffin froze. His hands clenched into fists at his sides. He knew she was right.

(Author’s POV)

The sound of a cane tapping against the frozen ground broke the standoff.

Matriarch Octavia walked out from the shadow of the gate. She moved slowly, her back stiff. Her face was

a mask of cold iron.

She didn’t look at Adrian. She looked straight at the camera.

“The Drake family will cooperate with the investigation,” Octavia said, her voice raspy but authoritative. “We will give the public an explanation regarding the accusations and the incident at Night City.”

She turned her gaze to Amelia.
