Chapter 1
After my Alpha mate’s sister was raped and committed suicide, I chose to remain silent even after learning the truth.
His Alpha parents cried, begged, and even commanded me to speak up, but I refused coldly.
When members of the pack surrounded my house, demanding answers, I drove them off with a
machete.
Yet, my mate didn’t reject me. On the contrary, he turned against his family, insisted on sealing the
mate bond with me.
After the marking ceremony, he tortured me every single day.
He brought others in, forcing me to experience exactly what his sister had gone through.
Six years later, when my body was finally on the verge of collapse, he used his Alpha authority to
summon a witch.
He dragged me to the Pack’s Memory Tribunal.
“Maple, you don’t even deserve to be called human! Hazel treated you like family, and this is how you repay her?”
I lay on the hospital bed, barely alive, hooked up to a ventilator.
My body was far too weak to even attempt a response.
The arena was packed with pack members from all over the werewolf realm.
My mate, the Alpha, stood silently on the stage, staring down at me.
“Stop pretending to be the victim! You protected a rapist, and everything happening to you now is exactly what you deserve!”
“Sharing a pack with you is a disgrace!”
The witch assigned to extract my memories stood nearby, holding a silver needle in her hand.
Once it was inserted into my body, all of my memories would be pulled out and displayed.
I turned my head toward Finn, eyes filled with tears, and shook my head with the last bit of strength
I had.
Finn sneered coldly.
“Don’t bother. You’re regretting it now? Too late. Do you know how much Hazel suffered? Why didn’t you speak up when it mattered?”

“You deserve to die.”
“The witch says memory extraction with a silver needle is just as painful as being electrocuted. Let’s see how you like it.
The trial was being held in the largest arena in the werewolf realm.
Twenty thousand spectators filled the seats. The entire process was being broadcast live. Every werewolf in the realth could watch
Hazel’s case had once shaken the entire werewolf community.
Even the Alpha King had paid close attention. But with my silence, the case was shelved and ruled as Amicide
Finn’s Alpha parents were present too. When Finn sealed the mate bond with me, they were furious and cut ties with him.
But now, seeing all of this done in their daughter’s name, former Alpha Rex and Luna Ruby couldn’t help but feel bitter and broken.
Luna Ruby pointed at me and screamed, “You bitch! You cursed wretch! All these years, and you still won’t tell us who that monster was? What happened to your conscience?”
Alpha Rex held onto his mate.
The loss of their daughter and the pain of watching their son bond with someone who protected the person responsible had aged them rapidly.
Hazel was adopted into the pack by Alpha Rex and Luna Ruby, but they raised her like their own blood.
Finn and I started dating in high school.
Back then, Hazel was still in middle school, and she used to follow me around calling my name. Finn always indulged her.
Now, the wolves in the stands were furious.
Some even hurled eggs at me. The sticky mess burst across my forehead, oozing with foul stench.
To maintain order, Finn had to send warriors out to calm the crowd.
The moment the silver needle pierced my temple, it felt like a thousand pins stabbed into my skin and scalp.
My pupils dilated, and I let out fragmented, strangled sounds.
The pain was excruciating, shredding what little strength I had left.

Finn stood nearby, sneering coldly as he watched me struggle. There was not a trace of sympathy in
his eyes.
Worried I might pass out before the memory extraction finished, the witch prepared to inject a
sedative.
But Finn snatched the syringe from her hands and replaced it with a stimulant.
“This could push her body past its limit,” the witch warned. “After this trial, she might‘
“Just use it,” Finn cut her off without hesitation.
Once the stimulant was injected, the pain became more bearable.
