Chapter 2 of 75Winning Back My Exiled Omega Wife And Genius Son
Available on official platform
Cora POV:
Corbett's polished dress shoes appeared in my line of sight.
I looked up at him, and suddenly, the fated mate bond that usually tugged at my heart just snapped into nothingness.
How ruthless could one Alpha be? In the end, the fault was mine. My only sin was falling in love with him.
I gritted my teeth, suppressing my inner wolf's whimper. "Don't even think about making me kneel to her!"
"For the crimes you've committed, kneeling is a mercy!" Corbett roared, his Alpha aura suffocating the room.
He hauled me up by the collar, only to hurl me back onto the cold floor. I didn't utter a single cry of pain.
I let out a hollow laugh. "You parade your mistresses and she-wolves around, and I turn a blind eye. Your scandals are plastered across human and pack tabloids daily, and I pretend not to know. I've acted like a loyal, submissive dog as your Luna, but do you have even a shred of conscience? Me, plotting to kill Felicity Wynn? What is she even worth? Bloodline, education, background—does she even compare to a single claw on my finger?"
"So you finally show your true colors." Corbett sneered, using the tip of his shoe to tilt my chin up. "I prepared a grand gift for you today. I wonder if you'll like it."
Before his words even settled, a row of Pack Enforcers swarmed through the door. Before I could even process what was happening, they lunged forward, pinning me down.
The burn of the silver snapped me out of my daze, and my entire body started thrashing wildly. "Let me go! On what grounds are you arresting me?!"
"Murderer! She's a murderer!"
"Spit on her! And she calls herself a high-born Omega!"
"Absolutely heartless! What a toxic bitch!"
"Our Alpha King is cursed to have a mate like her!"
Pack reporters and flashing cameras surrounded me, capturing every ounce of my panic and humiliation.
My face was deathly pale, my soul feeling as if it had been ripped from my body. "Who gave the order to arrest me? Who?!"
"Oh? Do you really think that without absolute proof, the Enforcers would falsely accuse you?"
The man's deep, rumbling voice came from behind me. As I was forced to turn around, I saw him holding a burial urn. Clad in a bespoke suit, he stepped back into my line of sight, exuding the oppressive dominance of a true Alpha King.
My eyes burned crimson with unshed tears. "Corbett, you sent them to arrest me?"
Corbett gave a faint, mocking smile. "I am simply giving Amelia the truth she deserves. The Enforcers and I reviewed the security footage together."
"The truth? The truth?!" I repeated, as if I had just heard the most hysterical joke in the world. I threw my head back and started laughing wildly.
Everyone was whispering, pointing fingers, yet stepping back from my manic state.
The live broadcast cameras captured my absolute descent into madness. Across the territories, in front of millions of wolves and humans alike, I looked like a feral, monstrous creature.
The silver handcuffs rattled sharply as I struggled against them, ignoring the searing burns on my flesh. I screamed at Corbett, "Corbett! Do you have any heart left in that chest of yours?! Five years as your chosen mate! You wouldn't even let a rogue be humiliated like this!"
"Humiliated?" Corbett closed the distance between us in a blink, his large hand clamping painfully around my jaw. "You committed this atrocity yourself. How can you call it humiliation?"
"I said I didn't do it! You have no right to throw me into Silvergate!" I let out a miserable, broken laugh.
My final, desperate struggles couldn't change a thing. Reflected in his cold, Alpha gaze, I looked utterly pathetic.
Smack.
A vicious slap landed across my cheek, the familiar, stinging pain radiating through my skull. Huge tears rolled down my face.
Then, fueled by a sudden surge of adrenaline, I ripped myself free just long enough to snatch the urn from Corbett's grasp.
Right in front of the flashing cameras and the gasping pack members, I smashed it onto the floor!
"Corbett Solomon, let me tell you something!" I screamed over the shattering of the ceramic. "In this lifetime, I would never stoop so low as to do such a filthy thing! Reject my truth if you want, but I will never let a dead she-wolf be placed above me! The Moon Goddess is watching, and sooner or later, you will get what you deserve!"
