Chapter 282 The Beta’s Delusion

    Third Person POV

    +8 Pearls

    After Justin had loudly dered at home that he wanted to marry Aubrey, his father Tywin had locked him up, forbidding him to leave.

    Others might not notice, but Tywin had seen it clearly–the way the alpha looked at Aubrey was anything but brotherly. He didn’t believe for a second that his son had the ability to steal a woman from the alpha.

    But Justin, drunk on lust and infatuation, didn’t care. He had thrown tantrums for days before finally pretending to give up, which earned him a little freedom. With the family also distracted by the search for Aubrey, the watch over him had loosened.

    He slipped out and searched frantically,bing through Shadowmoon Pack’s central territory all the way to its borders. For a full day and night he scoured, but found nothing.

    Then, just as he was about to give up, fate smiled–he spotted Aubrey on his way home.

    To Justin, it was destiny’s gift.

    And so, he proposed on the spot.

    Aubrey stared at him, speechless. Even the fat orange cat at her side squinted at Justin with a wrinkled, disdainful face.

    “I’m serious! Look,” Justin blurted, flexing his arm to show off his muscles. “I may be a beta, but my body is strong. If you want to hide your identity, I can protect you!”

    He fumbled for his wallet, pulling out ck cards and a ring of car keys. “And this! I’ve got money, resources -whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!”

    Aubrey’s expression shifted from nk disbelief to something colder, sharper–like she was staring at a fool.

    “And why,” she asked icily, “would you think I’d ever

    want you?”

    Justin stammered, desperate. “Aubrey, I know I used to… but I’ll change! For you, I’ll change everything! I’ve already thrown out all those omega women from my house. I swear, I’ll never touch another. You’ll be the only one in my heart!”

    Aubrey’s lips curved into a razor–thin smile, herugh low and mocking. “Change? For me? Do you think you’re that important?” Her eyes cut him down like a de, raking him from head to toe. “A beta with no self–control, a man drowning in filth–and you dare propose to me, an alpha–level werewolf?”

    The deliberate emphasis on “beta” and “alpha” was a p across his face, one he couldn’t ignore.

    Justin’s cheeks burned, then drained pale, his pride shredded by the contempt in her gaze.

    Aubrey’s eyes glinted with ice. “Your money, your strength–they mean nothing to me. I have no interest in you or anything you have. Leave/Now.”

    Her words were final, but Justin, in his panic, lunged forward anyway, hand reaching toward her. “Aubrey, don’t be like this, just listen-”

    “Meo*!” The fat orange cat at Aubrey’s side arched its back, fur bristlingb, /ba guttural growl warning him to

    stop.

    Aubrey’s patience shattered.

    The instant Justin’s fingers brushed the fabric of her sleeve, a surge of pure dominance exploded from bher/b. It wasn’t physical–it was deeper, primal, pressing straight onto the spirit and instincts.

    The world stilled. Birds fell silent, insects hushed, as if the forest itself bowed beneath the weight of her

    aura.

    Justin staggered. His chest constricted, his heart pounded, and his legs buckled as if under an invisible hand. Sweat broke across his forehead, and terror widened his eyes.

    He was facing the crushing authority of a true top–tier alpha.

    Pinned by that force, he couldn’t take another step forward. He could only tremble, staring at Aubrey.

    And there she stood, eyes cial, her presence towering–like a queen enthroned above all, untouchable, unforgiving, beyond the reach of any who dared profane her.
