Deanna\u2019s words made my face burn with anger.<\/p>\n

No wonder! When my back hurt a few days ago, I tried calling her to come over and give me a massage, but her phone was always off<\/p>\n
And now she dares to say she broke up with Jake? Haha! I don\u2019t believe it for a second. That girl has loved him to the moon for years. No way she\u2019d let go so easily.<\/p>\n
She\u2019d cling to him forever if she could.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen these little games before\u2013pretending to leave just to get attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna,\u201d I snapped, \u201cdo you even know your place? My son picked you, and that makes you lucky. Don\u2019t you dare bring up breaking up with him. When Jake finally throws you aside, you\u2019ll be the one crying your eyes out.\u201d<\/p>\n
But instead of getting angry, she only smiled. \u201cMrs. Olson, I don\u2019t need that luck. I won\u2019t be your pack\u2019s Luna. Someone else can have that title.\u201d<\/p>\n
She humiliated me before everyone; my chest tightened with rage.<\/p>\n
Valda leaned close and whispered in my ear. \u201cI heard from Robert that Deanna\u2019s been jealous of Peggie. She\u2019s using this breakup talk to pressure Jake into choosing only her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie.<\/p>\n
The very name made my stomach twist with annoyance.<\/p>\n
Five years ago, I hated her for being half\u2013blooded and sent her away. Later she was diagnosed with heart failure, and somehow the blame fell on me.<\/p>\n
They all said I had pushed her too hard, that I\u2019d made her sick.<\/p>\n
Because of that, Jake has felt guilty ever since. Peggie\u2019s been using it to keep a hold on him.<\/p>\n
Ridiculous!<\/p>\n
The truth is, her weak body came from her mixed bloodline. That\u2019s all.<\/p>\n
Just then, a salesgirl with white gloves carried out a pair of limited\u2013edition heels in a velvet box. I had spent 2,000,000 dollars and waited a month for these custom shoes.<\/p>\n
The salesgirl bent down, ready to help me try them on. I lifted my hand to stop her.<\/p>\n
I looked straight at Deanna and commanded, \u201cDeanna, come put on my shoes. Do that, and I\u2019ll tell Jake to stay away from Peggie.\u201d<\/p>\n
I narrowed my eyes at her. \u201cYou\u2019ve been with my son all these years, and you can\u2019t even handle one Peggie. Jake is an Alpha. He will never have just one woman. If you want to be his Luna, the first thing you need to learn is how to swallow your pride and endure this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna didn\u2019t step forward like she used to. Instead, she laughed at my<\/p>\n
words.<\/p>\n

\u201cMrs. Olson, I remember something. Didn\u2019t Jake\u2019s dad have an affair with an actress years ago? And you hired people to smear her online, calling her a homewrecker until her career was ruined. If I recall right, that actress was even pregnant. You paid someone to rough her up until she lost the baby. You were once a Luna yourself, but that method of yours was hardly patient or forgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou brat!\u201d My whole body shook with rage. I pointed at her, but I couldn\u2019t form a full sentence.<\/p>\n
That scandal had been buried so deep, only a few people in the pack ever knew the truth. And yet here Deanna was, daring to drag my darkest secret out into the open!<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, y\u2013you slut! Stop making up lies! I\u2019ll make sure my son dumps you. Just wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s fine by me,\u201d she said calmly. \u201cThe standards for being the Luna of your pack are too high anyway. I don\u2019t think I have what it takes. I\u2019ll leave the position for someone else who wants it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She turned and walked away.<\/p>\n
Valda leaned close, whispering, \u201cWas that really Deanna? Did she lose her mind, talking to you like that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The fire in my chest nearly burst out. I slammed my hand against the display stand.<\/p>\n
\u201cLose her mind? No. But I\u2019ll make her regret this. I\u2019ll make Jake dump her for good! And from now on, none of you are allowed to call her my daughter\u2013in\u2013law, or you\u2019ll have a problem with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karen blinked. \u201cBarbara\u2026 about that actress Deanna mentioned. Did you really do something like that back then?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not!\u201d<\/p>\n
I snapped, nearly shouting. My voice cracked with anger. \u201cShe made it all up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jake\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I was in the middle of a meeting when noise broke out in the hallway.<\/p>\n
\u201cMove aside!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Olson, Alpha is in a meeting. Why don\u2019t you wait in the office a while?\u201d Axel\u2019s voice followed after.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to see my son. Do I need permission now?\u201d<\/p>\n
A moment later, the conference room door swung open.<\/p>\n
My mother stood in the doorway, clutching her Hermes bag, her face dark with fury.<\/p>\n
I looked up, then told the executives at the table, \u201cThe meeting is over.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everyone quickly gathered their notebooks and filed out.<\/p>\n
Axel quietly closed the door behind them, leaving the room to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s so urgent you had to rush in here?\u201d I asked flatly.<\/p>\n
