After I found out that my grandmother and sister went to Cindy’s place to cause trouble and ended up having all their ugly secrets exposed in public, I lost control. I smashed everything in

my office.

Now the whole capital is talking about how shameless my pack is.

When I walk down the street, I can feel people pointing behind my back.

The military officers who used to call me brother now avoid me like I carry a disease.

Robert barely survived, but he missed the best time for treatment, He’s completely paralyzed and will never stand again.

This is karma.

As for Evelyn…

I heard she has been completely ignored by all at home.

Grandma blamed everything on her. She won’t even let Evelyn eat a proper meal.

Evelyn’s POV:

The rain was pouring down. Cold rain hit my face and burned against my wounds.

I stood in front of a small house in the west district of the capital, holding an old, worn suitcase.

This was my parents’ home. My last place to hide.

I couldn’t stay with the Duskfang Pack anymore.

Everyone there looked at me with hate, as if I were the one who caused everything.

James ignored me. He even asked for a separation.

I just wanted to go home; even hearing my mother complain would have been enough for me.

But the front door was locked.

A bright notice was taped to the window. “This House Has Been Sold.”

“Are you looking for the people who lived here?” A woman from next door came out with an umbrella to take out the trash. She looked at me with clear disgust. “They moved out already, leaving in the middle of the night. They said their daughter caused a huge mess outside and ruined the family name. They were too ashamed to face anyone. Sold the house cheap and ran back to the countryside to hide.”

They left…

Left overnight. Didn’t even tell me.

I stood there in the rain, frozen. The suitcase slipped from my hand and hit the ground with a dull thud.

I went to war to bring honor to my family.

I fought my way up to become someone important.

But now, I’ve lost everything. The achievements that I once took pride in have now become stains on my reputation. The mate I loved ignored me like strangers. And now, even my parents have abandoned me because I embarrassed them.

“Awoo!”

A broken cry escaped my throat. Inside me, my wolf spirit curled up in fear and despair, shaking uncontrollably.

In this vast kingdom, in this bright and busy capital, I had become a homeless lone wolf.

Prince Adam’s POV:

The study was dark. No lights were on.

I sat in a high-backed chair, turning the royal scepter in my hand. It was the symbol of my rank.

Rain tapped softly against the window, matching the chaos in my mind.

My father’s verbal order felt like an invisible chain locked around my throat.

“Three months, or she marries Uncle Niall.”

I closed my eyes and saw my father’s sharp, all-seeing gaze.

This was never about finding Cindy a match. This was pressure. Directed at me.

My father is a pure realist, a master of power games.

He values Cindy’s military skill and what remains of the Silverpeak Pack, but he also looks down on her past. In his eyes, someone once marked by James wasn’t worthy of being the future queen.

If I marry Cindy, the conservative nobles will protest. My position as crown prince could be shaken.

This order was a test. A forced choice. Do I choose the throne and become a perfect heir who obeys, who sacrifices love for politics?

Or do I choose Cindy-giving up power and risking my right to inherit the crown?

“What a brilliant trap, Father.”

I let out a bitter laugh and slammed the scepter down onto the desk.
