chapter 35
Violet’s POV
Kylie said I shoved her downstairs and caused her miscarriage.
She lost her baby and it was all my fault.
We arrived at the hospital soon after. My parents were standing
outside of the ward with the doctors. The doctor told us that
Kylie was brought into the hospital dee to stomachache.
originally.
“So the miscarriage is just something she made up to smear me,
right? We all know it’s nothing but a stomachache now,” I said
with a sneer.
“But Kylie did just lose her child…” my mom said lowly.
“So you believe what she said? About me shoving her?” I couldn‘
t help but raise my voice, “Look at me mom. Do you think I am
capable of something like that?”
Mom hastily avoided my gaze. There was a mixed expression of
sadness and panic on her face. Maybe deep down she knew well
enough that Kylie was lying again. She just refused to believe
that her favorite daughter was an evil person.

“Let’s go in there and check on her,” mom murmured and
headed into the ward.
Kylie was lying on the bed, her face pale as sheet. She did look
like a traumatized woman who just lost her baby. But again, my
twin sister was the best actress I knew.
“You killed my baby!” she screamed the second I stepped into
the room, “You are jealous because Asher is the father! How
could you!”
“You made me sick, Kylie.” I glared at her. Did her lies and
manipulation ever stop?
“I want justice. I demand an elder’s meeting right now! You will
pay for your crime!” she shrieked.
It was fully within her right to ask for an elder’s meeting. She
was the former Luna and the center of attention. If Asher
refused her demand, it would only make more people believe
that I was guilty.
A couple of hours later, the meeting was held in the council hall
with all the senior members of the pack present. Kylie sat in a
wheelchair, looking sick and fragile. She kept on crying as the
senior members filed in. Compared to me, she did look more like
a victim.

She really deserved a reward for her acting talent.
My brothers got here too. They all looked worried.
“We all knew that you didn’t shove her. They can’t convict you
for something you didn’t do,” Michael said to me with certainty.
Jayden looked less optimistic, “Look at those members. Not
everyone here trusted Violet like we did.”
He was right. People were casting sympathetic glances toward
Kylie. Some of them even came forward to the wheelchair and
offered their condolences. When they looked at me, their eyes
were filled with loathe and dislike.
“She is better at manipulating people’s heart and mind,” I said
calmly.
Almost everyone in this council chamber was against me. But it
didn’t make me anxious. All I felt was a little disappointment-
these people actually believed that I was evil enough to push my
own sister down the stairs. Was I a monster to them?
“Nothing will happen to you. I promise,” Asher squeezed my
hand, his voice as steady as his grip. I returned him a smile. As
long as he was here with me, I was not afraid of anything.
The meeting started and Kylie immediately started her

accusation. She said I mercilessly shoved her after a big fight
and started to list all the mean things I had done to her when we
were child. But none of those were true.
“She said it was just a prank and that I’d be a filthy little snitch if
I told anyone about it. I had lost count of how many times she
messed with me like that growing up. I was always the quiet,
well–behaved one, so I didn’t dare tell anyone, and nobody
noticed anything unusual between us. But inside I was falling
apart. There was a time when I thought about ending my own
life…” she sobbed.
I eyed her coldly. Everything she said was a huge chunk of
bullshit. But others clearly didn’t feel the same way. There were
a lot of wet eyes and blowing noses when she told her fake
story.
Kylie wiped her eyes again before continuing, “…Then I met
Asher, the light and magic of my life. He cured all of my
childhood traumas and turned me into a healthy person again. I
was so happy when I found out that I was carrying his child…
This pack could finally have an heir now. But why—”
She snapped her head at me and screamed, “Why do you have
to take that away from me too?! My only source of happiness in
life. You’ve ruined everything for me!”

Tears streamed down her face. The whole room erupted into
chaos. Everyone was glaring at me indignantly. If gazes could
kill, I would be dead a million times by now.
“That is Alpha Asher’s only child! How could you!” one of the
members cried.
“Get lost! We don’t want a baby killer as our Luna!” spat another
member.
“We should bring Kylie back as Luna!”
“QUIET!” Asher snarled, his eyes blazing with rage. “I don’t need
others to tell me whom I should spend my life with!”
His bellow silenced the room temporarily. I looked at Kylie, my
voice loud and cold, “That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever
heard. I didn’t shove you. And I most certainly didn’t kill your
baby. Maybe you are not even pregnant if you ask me!”
She looked furious, “Asher heard the 2 heartbeats himself! Tell
her Asher. Tell her that I was pregnant with your child!”
“I don’t remember hearing anything. And stop saying I am the
father. It’s fucking slander,” said Asher nonchalantly.
Kylie rounded her eyes in disbelief, “Y–You are taking her side?
You are brainwashed by her can’t you see that? She is making
chapter 35
your family fall apart because of jealousy-”
I cut her off, “You kept saying all the horrible things I have done
out of jealousy. But Asher never liked you for a single second.
Why would I be jealous of a woman who posed no threat to me?
You are irrelevant, Kylie.”
That must have stung a sore spot. Because I saw malice flashed
across her face.
“You shoved me! That is the truth!” she shrieked, an angry vein
bulging on her forehead. “I demand justice! You can’t let a
murder like her get away!!!”
“Who saw this? What proof do you have?” I snapped.
To my greatest surprise, many people came forward claiming
they’d seen me get physical with Kylie. A lot of them swore they
were there when I shoved her. They must really dislike me,
even willing to lie just to make sure I was found guilty.
“God, just stop with this nonsense!” Michael cried, talking over
the indignant crowd. “Violet didn’t push her! We were with her
in the training court this morning. I can testify for her!”
“Violet isn’t cable of something this cruel!” Jayden said firmly,
and Philip nodded in agreement.
Yet the crowd was too stubborn to listen. They all set their mind.
to their own version of truth–I was the guilty one. The Alpha,
Beta and my 2 twin brothers were all joining me.
I looked at my brothers and felt a mixed feeling of guilt and
happiness. It felt really nice to have them protect me like this.
But they didn’t deserve to be scolded by the public like that.
They didn’t do anything wrong.
The situation was losing control. Asher silenced the room again
and announced that he had a witness.
Surprisingly, the person who came in was the witch.
My whole body tensed up the moment I saw her. She didn’t
change a bit. Her whole presence screamed evil and viciousness.
She was the part of the reason why I had suffered for 7 years.
What was she doing here today?
“Kylie forged her pregnancy,” she spoke up, loud and clear.
“There was never a child.”
What?
I rounded my eyes in shock as the crowd broke into noises. I
thought she was here to make my life miserable again. Never
had I expected her to help me.
“Liar!!” Kylie screamed, looking angry and panicked. “What’re
you doing here? You have no right…”
“You asked me to fake 2 heartbeats in you. A witch never lies.”
“Violet must have bought you off! How much did she pay you to
come here and lie? That’s exactly the kind of person she is–she‘
ll do whatever it takes to hurt others without a second
thought…”
I couldn’t stand this. I dashed forward, grabbed her by her hairs
and yanked her off the wheelchair.
I used to think we were family–bound by blood, the closest
people in the world. But I was wrong. I let my sister hurt me,
over and over. That ended today..
“You listen carefully.” I pointed a finger at her and hissed, “I am
Asher’s mate and Luna. Nothing will ever change that! So stop
your pathetic tricks and lies because the next time I see your
near Asher, I will fucking BURY YOU ALIVE!! GET IT?!”
She trembled on the ground, staring at me in horror.
I turned to the watching crowd and snapped, “And for those of
your who don’t like me–I am Asher’s destined one. Either you
live with it or get the hell out of here. Are. We. Clear?!”
I was done being the pushover.
