Chapter 9
The next day, my father took me back to the Silver Fang pack. With his assistance, I joined the management team and became the heir to the pack.
We decided to set off for an overseas special training camp for pack leaders in a week, lasting a year.
It turned out that my father had hoped to give me the Silver Fang pack as a wedding gift after I married Alpha Dorian Kingston, allowing for a merger with the Black Spine pack under his unified leadership.
However, now that my bond with Alpha Dorian Kingston had been severed, there was no longer any reason for cooperation between the two packs.

All prior collaborations were on the verge of collapse. My father personally approached Alpha Dorian Kingston to negotiate. Given my father’s financial support and my hands–on management during the reconstruction and growth of Black Spine, Alpha Dorian Kingston agreed to allocate half of the assets–including territory, funds, and weapons–to me.
Just when everyone thought the tension between the two packs would dissipate, Liora Granger stormed into my company’s lobby to confront me.
“Miss Vaughn, I didn’t expect you to be so greedy,” she sneered. “How dare you take so much from Alpha Dorian Kingston and ensure that all wedding venues and hotels in the city refuse to accommodate me and Alpha Dorian Kingston? We’re about to

WWith that, she deliberately showedemenet mamark on her neck.
I gllalared at her, and maybe I was too o sesensitive, but I distinctly caught the scene of @bobsidian again–just like the one Ichada notioticed at the bridal shop. It was the mark the Blatack Eagle pack.
I chucktedesbsoftly and replied, “I’m doing it intentionallally; it’s all rightfully mine. Didn’t Alpha Dobianiaki Kingston tell you that his pa owes its succecess, in part, to me? Besides, the costs of th the wedding are all on me. If you haveva proboblem go talk to Alpha Dori Kingston. As for @tothers refusing to take y orders, that’stentintilely their decision.”
Liora Granger lookedeat at me in disbelief.

“Celine Vaughn, I never thought you could be so vicious. You need to return that money to Alpha Dorian Kingston.”
Vicious?
I stifled my laughter and fixed my gaze on her eyes, saying fiercely, “Anyone can criticize me, but you, of all people, have no right–especially not as the other woman.”
Liora Granger wore a smug grin. “Celine Vaughn, you’ve given everything to Alpha Dorian Kingston, yet it’s not as effective as just my word. You’re utterly useless. You can only blame yourself, ha ha ha…”
Seeing her twisted face grin like that made me feel disgusted.
Unable to hold myself back, I raised my hand and slapped her across the face.

“Ah!” She gasped in disbelief, clutching her cheek.
“This slap is for my own dignity, and for my unborn child! Now get out!”
Her face fell, and she left with tears in her
eyes.
Don’t push me too far–when patience has reached its limit, I won’t hold back anymore. I’m not someone who can easily be bullied.
If I were a weak and helpless person, I could never have helped Alpha Dorian Kingston build up the broken Black Spine Pack.
And all these years, I put aside my dignity, my character, and everything just because I loved him.

But once that love is gone, I have to be myself. Liora Granger thinks she can take back what my father fought so hard to reclaim? She’s dreaming!
That night, I received a call from Alpha Dorian Kingston.
He was frantic, demanding, “Why did you hit Liora? She’s seriously ill, how could you subject her to your violence?”
Listening to this man accuse me without understanding anything, I couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous he sounded.
“Alpha Dorian Kingston, listen carefully. She came to me about the property, demanding I return it to you, and insulted me in the process. I slapped her for my own dignity and for my unborn child!”

Liora Granger also posted her happiness on social media.
I received an invitation, of course, but I wasn’t going. Many of our mutual friends didn’t attend either.
I heard that only members of their own packs were there.
The day before I was supposed to leave for the training camp, I was packing my things when a Black Spine warrior rushed in, saying that the Black Spine Pack had been attacked by the Black Eagle Pack.
A bad feeling rose in my chest. But even if they were attacked, didn’t they have Alpha Dorian Kingston?
“What happened?” I couldn’t help but ask.
