Her Sweet Revenge

Miranda's Point of View

"Everyone, tonight we'll burn the wicked and jealous Luna who killed the Alpha's only heir," the pack's Seer announced.

I shook my head desperately in disagreement. "I didn't-I didn't kill anyone." I tried to defend myself, but no one was listening to me.

Everyone was just screaming:

"We must kill her!"

"She must pay for killing the Alpha's only heir!"

"What a wicked and jealous queen!"

"She's a taboo to our pack!"

As if their cruel words weren't enough, they began throwing rotten food and stones at me. The people who once loved and trusted me had completely turned their backs on me and were now calling for my death.

"We'll send her to the underworld tonight, and by the power vested in me by the Moon Goddess, I declare woe on your soul. May you perish and never be reincarnated!" the Seer said, then walked towards a bonfire. He picked a burning piece of wood from the flames and faced me.

"Luna, I'd advise you to tell us the truth, and we can give you an easier and lighter death sentence," he told me in a convincing tone, but I turned away from him.

My teary eyes desperately searched the crowd until they landed on my mate-my husband. He was holding onto his crying mistress, consoling her. We locked eyes-my hopeful gaze met his emotionless one.

"Lorenzo, you know me. I could never hurt you. I would never even think of hurting you. Believe me," I cried.

"I believe you, my love, but there's concrete evidence against you," he replied, his voice void of all emotion. But that didn't stop me from trying to get him to rescue me.

"Don't believe in that evidence. I'm innocent-I did not poison Jerry."

He shook his head. "I'm hurt too, seeing you in this position. But this is the law. Justice must be served," he said, still clinging tightly to Mia-his mistress.

Hearing his cold response, different questions began flooding my mind at that moment:

If he's hurt, why is he holding another woman?

Why isn't he making any effort to rescue me?

We were such a loving couple.

I didn't even blame him when he cheated on me with our pack's cook and got her pregnant.

How on earth did we come to this in the twinkle of an eye?

I couldn't help but replay the events that took place months ago-the event that changed our lives.

> Five Months Ago – Alpha's Mansion <<

I was helping Lorenzo get ready for a meeting when someone suddenly knocked on our bedroom door.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"It's me, Vincenzo," our Beta-Lorenzo's elder and twin brother-replied from outside the door.

"Come in," Lorenzo ordered.

A frown appeared on my face the moment he gave the order. I looked down at my half-naked body and wondered if he couldn't see it, but I didn't argue. I simply snatched a blanket and wrapped it around myself.

The door pushed open and Vincenzo entered. His eyes lingered on me briefly, and he gulped nervously before turning to Lorenzo.

"Lorenzo, Mia's-"

"I'm your Alpha!" Lorenzo arrogantly cut him off.

Vincenzo clenched his jaw and took a deep breath before continuing. "Alpha, Mia is in the hospital. Her son has been poisoned," he reported.

I was helping Lorenzo with his tie when Vincenzo dropped the bombshell. He pushed my hands away immediately and faced Vincenzo with a deep frown as worry and concern overtook his expression.

"What do you mean her son has been poisoned? How did it happen?!" he growled.
