Marcus Walsh’s face was clouded with fury. The Alpha’s ice–cold eyes burned with rage as he
stared at his son.
“Come with me to Gabriel’s Private Study,” Marcus said in a deep voice that carried the weight
of absolute authority.
With that, Marcus didn’t even look at Gabriel again. He turned straight toward the study upstairs, his heavy footsteps echoing through the mansion corridors.
The tension in the air was thick as the Alpha’s displeasure radiated through the Walsh pack mansion. Even the household staff retreated to avoid witnessing the family confrontation
that was about to unfold.
Gabriel’s jaw tightened, but he showed no fear. His eyes found Lily’s swollen face, and
protective fury flashed in his gaze.
“I’ll take responsibility for everything,” Gabriel said firmly to Lily, his voice carrying the
confidence of a true Alpha heir.
He turned to Diana Walsh, his stepmother, with cold warning in his eyes. “Don’t make things
difficult for Lily while I’m gone.”
Gabriel noticed how Lily’s cheek was still red and swollen from Diana’s vicious slap. The
sight made his wolf snarl with protective rage.
He called to the pack housekeeper who was hovering nervously nearby. “Take care of Lily.
Get her some ice for her face.”
The housekeeper nodded quickly, understanding the unspoken threat in Gabriel’s tone. Everyone knew Diana’s volatile temper could explode again at any moment.
Gabriel’s eyes met Lily’s one last time before he followed his father upstairs. “I’ll handle this,
Lily. Trust me.”
After Gabriel disappeared up the staircase, Diana’s mask of restraint finally cracked completely. She pushed past the housekeeper and entered Lily’s room without permission.

“You shameless little seductress!” Diana’s voice was venomous as she slammed the door
behind her.
Lily stood by the window, her hand still pressed to her aching cheek. She turned to face her
stepmother with surprising composure.
“How dare you seduce your own step–brother!” Diana continued her verbal assault. “You’ve
brought nothing but shame upon the Walsh pack!”
Diana’s eyes blazed with fury as she paced the room like a caged animal. “Do you have any idea what this scandal will do to our reputation?”
Lily’s amber eyes flashed with cold defiance. She let out a bitter laugh that cut through
Diana’s tirade.
“My relationship with Gabriel?” Lily’s voice was steady despite her pain. “What about your
relationship with the Steele Corporation executive?”
Diana’s face went white with shock. Her mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air.
“How… how do you know about that?” Diana stammered, her confident facade crumbling.
Lily’s smile was sharp as a blade. “Did you really think your secret affairs would stay hidden
forever?”
Diana’s shock quickly transformed into explosive rage. She grabbed a manila envelope from her purse and threw it onto Lily’s desk.
Lily and Gabriel’s Secret Romance Evidence Photos scattered across the surface. The
images showed intimate moments between Lily and Gabriel at theaters, amusement parks,
concert halls, art galleries, and restaurants.
“Look at these!” Diana shrieked, pointing at the photographs. “Embracing, holding hands,
kissing! The evidence is right here!”
Lily’s eyes widened as she examined the photos. Her heart sank as she recognized the locations and moments captured.
Someone had been following them for weeks, documenting their every romantic encounter. The invasion of privacy made her feel sick.
“Who gave you these photos?” Lily demanded angrily, her voice rising with each word.
Diana’s lips curved into a cruel smile. “Does it matter? The evidence speaks for itself!”

Lily’s mind raced as she studied the photos more carefully. The angles, the timing, the specific locations – everything pointed to one person.
“Vera Davis,” Lily whispered, her voice filled with realization and disgust.
Diana’s triumphant expression confirmed Lily’s suspicion. “These photos prove you seduced your step–brother like the little manipulator you are!”
Meanwhile, in Gabriel’s Private Study, the sound of raised voices and crashing objects echoed through the walls. Father and son were locked in a heated battle of wills.
“You’ve disgraced our family name!” Marcus’s voice boomed through the study.
The sound of Marcus’s Shattered Crystal Goblet hitting the wall was followed by Gabriel’s sharp intake of breath. Glass fragments scattered across the floor as blood began to trickle
down Gabriel’s forehead.
“Pack law exists for a reason!” Marcus continued his tirade. “Step–siblings cannot mate!”
Gabriel wiped the blood from his wound with the back of his hand. His eyes blazed with
determination despite the pain.
“There’s no blood relation between us,” Gabriel replied coldly. “Your mate bond with Diana is a
sham anyway.”
The argument continued for another twenty minutes, with both Alphas refusing to back down. Finally, Gabriel emerged from the study with a bleeding wound on his forehead.
Lily rushed to him immediately, her gentle fingers examining the cut with worried tenderness. Her wolf instincts drove her to tend to her mate’s injuries.
“Gabriel, you’re hurt,” she whispered, her voice filled with concern.
Gabriel caught her hands in his, bringing them to his lips. “It’s nothing, Lily. Just a scratch.”
But Lily could see the pain in his eyes, both physical and emotional. The confrontation with
his father had taken its toll.
“We should leave,” Gabriel said quietly. “I can buy you a private residence if you don’t want to live with me yet.”
Lily shook her head firmly. “I want to stay with you, Gabriel. We’ll face this together.”
Gabriel’s eyes softened with love and gratitude. “Are you sure? Things are going to get complicated.”

Lily nodded without hesitation. “I’m sure.”

Gabriel pulled her into his arms, holding her close. “My father agreed to sever his mate bond
with Diana, but there are conditions.”
Lily looked up at him with questioning eyes. “What kind of conditions?”
Gabriel’s expression grew serious. “I have to compensate him for all the assets he gave
Diana during their mating. The affair between him and Diana must be kept secret to protect the pack’s reputation.”
He paused, his jaw tightening. “And we have to wait a year before making our relationship
public to avoid further scandal.”
Lily’s heart sank at the thought of hiding their love for another year. But she could see the determination in Gabriel’s eyes.
“I can handle it, Lily,” Gabriel said with fierce conviction. “Believe me, I can handle this.”
