"Arrest her, she's an Impostor!"

At Luna's words my hands stilled, my mate's blood dripping from in-between my fingers. I halted my attempts at giving attention to a person who kept pushing my hands away and wiped my hands on some tissue paper.

I couldn't dwell on whether JJ was refusing my help because of a bruised ego or not, not when it became clear that my leaders were now using me as a scapegoat.

"Send the guards here, quick!" My Luna carried out orders, this captured the interest of the remaining guests who were my ever silent father along with his mate, the Hardings, Alpha's family and Emmery's company.

The guards in question came down from various staircases leading to this hall, marching, heading for me. "Luna what are you doing?" I asked, a question she pointedly ignored. "Answer me! Is this plan B? What do I do now? Lilly?!" My panic mounted as the mountain built men made their way straight to me. To make things worse, my mate wasted no time in dragging his bloody self away from me, publicly abandoning me. Lilly scoffed at the pathetic tears that glistening my eyes before walking off to her son's side.

None of the chaos voice could override Emmery's anger at her son however.

"Let me go John, I need to teach this mutt a lesson, how dare he tries to steal my woman?!" I heard him grunt and growl as he took a violent step towards JJ's direction. "Brother I'm certain there is an explanation for all this, there is no need to fight the Alpha's family over some woman!" He spat, I was no longer 'beautiful' then.

"You best release me little brother, I'm not above going through you to get to him."

"Oh calm down before you blow a vessel you ugly grump, you'd never do that." John nervously retorted to his brother's growls, looking to Lilly for a second and I swear a silent message passed between them cause John strengthened his restraint on his brother. Shortly after, Jackson rushed down the stairs with a book in his hands.

Not just a book, a scrapbook.

Not just any scrap book, the scrapbook that Shelly used to destroy my life. While all this happens I'm rooted to the floor, shaking, trying to accept my fate yet again.

He nodded in his mate's direction,  before cautiously making his way to the giant. He then offered the book to a confused Emmery with shaking hands.

"What is this?" Emmery gruffed out, ceasing the struggle his brother's arms. I quickly dodged the guards widely surrounding me, attempting to reach his side before he reached for the book. "Ignore it Emmery, it contains nothing but lies!" I yelled out in hopes that he would listen to me and maybe my behavior seems suspicious, I still couldn't let another person believe such things of me. Emmery looked like he was having an internal battle with himself, one he was losing.

"Just take it brother." John said, plucking the book from Alpha Jackson and slamming it to Emmery's chest. His brother eyed me as I rushed to him with the guards hot on my heels before looking to a seemingly nervous Alpha Jackson with his brow raised in question.

"That Emmery, is all the evidence we have against her. Perhaps you'll grasp why in her plan to seduce you, she un-thoughtfully posed as your beloved late mate." I couldn't discern if it was false sincerity or resentment towards the giant with how rigid he was with every single lie spewing out of his mouth. "Even more proof is how she randomly claimed to be my son's mate in your presence." The Alpha gulped, licking his lips. He looked in my direction for a second, meeting my begging eyes before looking at that of his family. They won, he turned back to Emmery and sealed my fate. "She's a social climber with no ounce of morals in her."
