It didn't take long for the chaos to erupt. From the lobby, I could hear the sounds of shouting and crashing coming from the floor above.

My lips curled into a satisfied smile as I imagined Lena confronting Silas, the scene I'd carefully set up fueling her anger.

Moments later, the beta arrived, his face a mask of concern. "What's going on?" he demanded.

I pointed toward the elevator. "Upstairs. Room 305. You need to stop them before someone gets hurt."

He didn't wait for further explanation, bolting toward the elevator. I stayed behind, my job done. Whatever unfolded next was out of my hands, but I knew it would be explosive.

Later, I heard that the beta managed to separate Lena and Silas, though not before the two of them had a heated argument.

Lena had apparently tried to justify her actions, claiming she was acting out of love, while Silas was too groggy to fully comprehend what was happening.

The beta escorted both of them back to the Alpha Palace, leaving the hotel in disarray.

As for me, I returned home with a sense of accomplishment.

The image of Lena's enraged face and the sound of her voice echoing through the hotel would stay with me for a long time.

I knew I'd stirred the pot, but that was exactly what I wanted.

The fallout from the hotel incident was swift and merciless. News of Lena and Silas fighting had spread like wildfire.

Everyone in the Snowtooth Pack was talking about it. The whispers, the sideways glances, and the hushed conversations made it clear that this wasn't just a private matter anymore. The pack wanted answers. They wanted accountability.

By morning, I heard that Lena had gone live on the pack's official communication channel, streaming her tearful accusations against Silas.

"He cheated on me," she sobbed, her voice trembling with emotion. "How am I supposed to endure this betrayal? As Luna, I've done nothing but support him, and this is how he repays me?"

It was a performance worthy of applause. But what caught my attention was her summoning of the clan elders, insisting they intervene and set things right.

My curiosity was piqued. This was going to be big. Bigger than I had planned, and I couldn't afford to miss it.

I arrived at the werewolf palace just as the meeting was starting. The grand hall was packed with clan members, their murmurs filling the air like an impending storm.

At the center, Lena sat with Silas, her face streaked with dried tears.

The elders surrounded them, their expressions grave. This wasn't just a personal matter anymore-it was a public trial.

The head elder, an imposing man with a silver mane of hair, spoke first.

"Alpha Silas," he began, his voice calm but firm, "these accusations are serious. The pack looks to its leaders for guidance, strength, and unity.

This... discord between you and Luna Lena is causing unrest."

Silas sat stiffly, his jaw clenched, while Lena dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief.

"I only want what's best for the pack," she said, her voice trembling. "But how can I fulfill my duties as Luna when my own mate disrespects our bond?"

Another elder chimed in, his tone sharper. "This isn't the first time Silas's personal choices have caused issues.

Let's not forget how he betrayed Rowena, the former Luna, to marry Lena. And now, history seems to be repeating itself."

The mention of Rowena sent a ripple through the crowd. I could feel the weight of their judgment bearing down on Silas.

The head elder continued, "Alpha, your focus should be on leading the Snowtooth Pack toward prosperity, not entangling yourself in scandals. The pack deserves better."

As the elders took turns reprimanding him, Lena sat smugly, her earlier tears replaced by a victorious smirk.

She leaned forward. "All I ask is for an apology," she said sweetly. "Silas should promise to end his association with... her and recommit himself to me and the pack."

I knew that was my cue. Stepping forward, I cleared my throat, drawing everyone's attention. The hall fell silent as all eyes turned to me.

"Excuse me," I said, my voice steady despite the pounding of my heart. "I think it's time someone else spoke."

re elders stared at me, their eyes widening. Whispers broke out in the crowd, and I caught snippets of their astonished remarks.

"Is that... Rowena?"

"She's alive?"

I held up a hand. "I'm not Rowena," I said firmly. "My name is Lorelei, sister of Alpha Branwen of the Silver Lake Pack."

The murmurs grew louder as people tried to process my words. The head elder raised his hand, silencing the room. "Lorelei," he said slowly, "your resemblance to Rowena is... uncanny. Why are you here?" Chapter 32

I took a deep breath, my gaze sweeping across the hall.

"I'm here because this isn't just about personal grievances anymore. It's about leadership, responsibility, and the future of this pack."

Lena's smirk faltered as she glared at me. "What could you possibly know about our pack's future?" she snapped.

"More than you'd like to admit," I replied coolly. Turning to the elders, I continued, "Lena has failed in her duties as Luna. Instead of fostering unity, she's sown discord.

She's dragged private matters into the public sphere, tarnishing the pack's reputation. And let's not forget her son, Billy, who has caused countless

oblems with his bullying. These are not the actions of a responsible Luna."

The room erupted in murmurs again, but I pressed on. "An Alpha and Luna's duty is to guide their pack, not create chaos.

Lena has proven time and time again that she prioritizes her personal grievances over the well-being of the pack. Is this the kind of leadership you want?"

The elders exchanged glances, their expressions thoughtful. One of them nodded slowly. "She raises a valid point."

Lena shot to her feet, her face red with fury. "This is ridiculous! You're just trying to sabotage me! How dare you question my role as Luna?"

"I'm not the only one questioning it," I said, gesturing to the murmuring crowd. "Look around, Lena. Your own pack is losing faith in you."

The head elder raised a hand again, his voice cutting through the noise. "Enough. Lorelei has made her case. Now, Alpha Silas, we need to hear from

you."

Silas, who had remained silent through most of the proceedings, finally spoke.

His voice was low but resolute. "I can't leave Lorelei," he said, his eyes locking onto mine. "She's the one who understands me, who challenges me to be better. I won't deny my connection with her." Gasps rippled through the hall, and Lena's face twisted in disbelief. "You can't be serious!" she yelled. "After everything I've done for you-"

"You've done enough," Silas interrupted, his voice cold. "More than enough."

The head elder leaned back in his chair, his expression thoughtful. "This is a complicated matter," he said slowly. "But one thing is clear: the pack's leadership is in question." Another elder nodded. "Perhaps it's time for a change."

The murmurs turned into cheers as the crowd began to chant my name. "Lorelei! Lorelei!"

I felt a surge of emotion-pride, fear, and determination all at once. Stepping forward, I raised my hands, quieting the crowd.

"I don't seek to take anyone's place," I said, though my voice rang with conviction. "But I do believe in this pack.

And if my presence can help restore faith and unity, then I won't turn away from that responsibility."

The head elder stood, his gaze piercing. "Lorelei, you've proven your strength and conviction today. If the pack is willing to accept you as their new Luna, then so be it."

The crowd erupted into cheers again, and as I stood there, basking in their approval, I couldn't help but glance at Lena.

Her face was a mask of rage and disbelief. This was my moment-a moment she could never take away.

Lena had insulted the elders openly, calling them trash and other vulgar names for falling so easily for

Her reckless behavior didn't end there. She had fought with Silas, challenging his authority as the Alpha.

words.

The pack elders, enraged and humiliated, wasted no time.

They convened immediately, listing out a series of charges against Lena: disrespecting the elders, insulting the Alpha, and failing as a mother to Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna
