30 Days to Freedom: Abandoned Luna is Secret Shadow King…
Chapter 42
spanng="EN"(Olivia’s POV)
spanng="EN"Rosalie’s eyes widened in shock at my words. Then she deliberately threw herself to the ground and began wailing dramatically.
spanng="EN"“Waaah! The meandy pushed me!” she cried, rolling on the floor. “I want my mommy!”
spanng="EN"The scene was almost identical to what had happened at Lyra’s Hope Sanctuary. But this time, the audience was different.
spanng="EN"Wealthy parents gathered around, whispering among themselves. Their voices carried clearly across the room.
spanng="EN"“Why is that child calling Luna Olivia ‘Mommy‘? Everyone knows the Redgrave family only has one pup.”
spanng="EN"“Did you see how harshly she pushed the little one? That seems excessive.”
spanng="EN"“Poor thing. Look how she’s crying.”
spanng="EN"A well–dressed mother stepped forward and helped Rosalie to her feet. She dusted off the pup’s expensive clothes with exaggerated sympathy.
spanng="EN"“There, there, sweetie. Are you hurt?” the woman cooed, shooting me a disapproving look.
spanng="EN"I watched this performance with cold eyes. The pup’s tears were perfectly timed, her sobs calcted for maximum effect.
spanng="EN"Matron Maeve hurried over, wringing her hands nervously. “Luna Olivia, expelling a pup without proper cause would be unreasonable.”
spanng="EN"“We must follow proper procedures. There are protocols to consider.”
spanng="EN"I pulled Iris forward by her small hand. The scratch marks on her face were still red and angry.
spanng="EN"“Look at these marks,” I said loudly, ensuring everyone could see. “This is what your ‘innocent‘ pup did to my niece.”
spanng="EN"Gasps echoed through the room. Several parents moved closer to examine Iris’s injuries.
spanng="EN"“How can such a violent pup be allowed to remain here?” I challenged Matron Maeve directly. “What kind of institution are you running?”
spanng="EN"Isadora’s voice rose in support. “That little monster didn’t just attack Iris. She led other pups in mocking her too!”
spanng="EN"“She called my daughter terrible names. What kind of malicious behavior is this from such a young age?”
spanng="EN"The crowd began murmuring more seriously now. The evidence was undeniable.
spanng="EN"“Perhaps we should review the surveince footage,” I suggested calmly. “If the evidence proves this pup’s guilt, she should be expelled.”
spanng="EN"“If not, transferring her to another ss would be eptable.”
spanng="EN"The other parents nodded in agreement. Their concern for their own pups‘ safety was evident.
spanng="EN"“Yes, we need to see what really happened,” one father dered. “Our pups‘ safetyes first.”
spanng="EN"Lena, the servant who had brought Rosalie to the creche, watched these events unfold with growing panic. She quietly slipped away from the crowd.
spanng="EN"I could see her frantically dialing her phone as she hurried toward the exit.
spanng="EN"In the monitoring room, the surveince footage yed on therge screen. The evidence was crystal clear.
spanng="EN"Rosalie sat on Iris’s back like she was riding a horse. Her small hands gripped Iris’s head, pressing her face into the foam mat.
spanng="EN"Iris struggled beneath her, clearly unable to breathe properly. Other pups watched in fascination rather than helping.
spanng="EN"The room fell silent as everyone witnessed the brutal scene. There was no denying what we all saw.
spanng="EN"Isadora exploded with rage. Her hand flew across Rosalie’s face with a sharp c***k.
spanng="EN"“You little devil!” she snarled. “If you’re this vicious now, what will you be when you’re older?”
spanng="EN"This time, no adult rushed tofort the fallen pup. Rosalie’s mask slippedpletely.
spanng="EN"Her malicious re at Isadora revealed her true nature. The innocent act was gone.
spanng="EN"The parents began voicing their concerns loudly. Their protective instincts were fully activated.
spanng="EN"“We can’t have our pups exposed to this violence.”
spanng="EN"“If she’s not expelled, we’re withdrawing our children.”
spanng="EN"“This is uneptable behavior.”
spanng="EN"Matron Maeve looked desperate. She opened her mouth as if to reveal something important about Rosalie’s connection to the Redgrave family.
spanng="EN"But before she could speak, Leo burst through the door. His face was flushed with anger and determination.
spanng="EN"“No one can bully my sister!” he shouted, positioning himself protectively in front of Rosalie.
spanng="EN"The crowd fell silent in shock. They recognized Leo immediately as the Alpha’s heir.
spanng="EN"But the girl’s identity remained a mystery. Whispers began circting with growing spection.
spanng="EN"“His sister? But isn’t Iris his only cousin?”
spanng="EN"“Could this be an illegitimate daughter?”
spanng="EN"“The Alpha’s secret pup?”
spanng="EN"I stared at my son with cold disappointment. His loyalty waspletely misced.
spanng="EN"“Rosalie deserves expulsion,” I stated firmly. “And you, Leo, should be punished for watching Iris being bullied.”
spanng="EN"“You stood by while your cousin was attacked. That’s unforgivable.”
spanng="EN"Leo’s chin jutted out defiantly. “Rosie was just ying! Iris should have shared her candy!”
spanng="EN"“Just ying?” I repeated, my voice deadly quiet.
spanng="EN"I grabbed Leo by the shoulders and pressed his face into the foam mat. He struggled and choked exactly as Iris had.
spanng="EN"The crowd watched in stunned silence as I demonstrated the same “y” Rosalie had inflicted.
spanng="EN"After several seconds, I released him. Leo gasped and coughed, tears streaming down his face.
spanng="EN"“Do you understand my lesson now?” I asked calmly.
spanng="EN"The traumatized pup, ustomed to gentle treatment as the precious Alpha heir, broke downpletely. He began hitting me with his small fists.
spanng="EN"I easily held him at arm’s length, his punchesnding harmlessly in the air.
spanng="EN"“Does anyone have objections to Rosalie’s expulsion?” I asked the assembled parents.
spanng="EN"“No objections,” they chorused quickly.
spanng="EN"(Isadora’s POV)
spanng="EN"ra burst through the creche doors, supported by Lena. Her face was flushed with indignation and panic.
spanng="EN"“No one can expel Rosalie!” she dered loudly. “I won’t allow it!”
spanng="EN"The wealthy parents didn’t recognize her, but they remained cautious. Her expensive clothes suggested she had some influence.
spanng="EN"I recognized ra immediately from our previous phone contact. The pieces fell into ce with sickening rity.
spanng="EN"This pup was likely my brother’s illegitimate daughter with his mistress. The resemnce was unmistakable now.
spanng="EN"Without hesitation, I stepped forward and pped ra hard across the face. The sound echoed through the room.
spanng="EN"“You shameless she–wolf!” I snarled. “Your poor parenting created this violent little monster!”
spanng="EN"ra stumbled backward, her hand flying to her reddened cheek. Her eyes zed with indignation.
spanng="EN"“How dare you hit me!” she shrieked. “Do you know who I am?”
spanng="EN"Obviously sleeping with my brother gave her tremendous courage.
spanng="EN"I raised my hand to strike again, but Leo suddenly pushed me away. He stood protectively in front of both ra and Rosalie.
spanng="EN"“Don’t hurt Aunt ra!” hemanded. “I won’t let you!”
spanng="EN"My fury exploded beyond all control. This ungrateful wolf pup was defending the she–wolf destroying his family.
spanng="EN"“You ungrateful brat!” I screamed. “You not only failed to protect your cousin, but you’re defending this homewrecker!”
spanng="EN"“I will never love you again!”
spanng="EN"Leo remained defiant, his small chest puffed out with misced bravery. “Both girls are my sisters! Iris should have shared!”
spanng="EN"“And Rosie told me the truth about Iris being a criminal’s daughter!”
spanng="EN"That final revtion shattered myst restraint. I began s******g him while he screamed for help from Olivia.
