Hailey's POV

My hands trembled when I tried to drink from a glass in the kitchen due to the immense pain. I had cleaned and treated my wound, it had stopped bleeding but it was too deep that it was taking time to completely heal. What I just encountered still shocked me to the core. I had wanted to scare Emma and injure her just a little bit so she could learn her lesson and also feel the pain she caused me but to my surprise she overpowered me. She actually overpowered me. I threw the water into the zinc angrily. "Where the f**k is she?" my hands shook and the glass fell with a shattering sound onto the floor. I glanced at the floor before looking in the direction of the living room.

"Emma?" I muttered with a frown wondering why she was there and how she got here so early. I took a look at my arm, satisfied that it was properly covered, I walked with a confident stride in my high heels towards the living room. The maids surrounded her trying to calm her down.

"Luna," they all bowed respectfully when they saw me.

"Who is ranting and trying to turn this pack house into a madhouse?" I asked even though I knew who it was. I turned towards her furious face but she slapped me abruptly.

"What the hell..," she didn't allow me to finish reacting to the slap before she pounced on me, she pulled my hair and scratched at my body and face repeatedly. I winced when my injured arm hit the sofa. I could not move due to my injured arm. The maids all stood uselessly gaping and gasping at us.

"Take this mad woman off me. She's publicly assaulting your Luna and you are just watching you fools!" I yelled at them. Emma scratched at my face again and I screamed out. The maids tried to hold Emma but she was not having it, she pushed them all off before focusing her attention on me again.

"What is going on here?" I heard father's voice but Emma didn't stop until someone pulled her off me. By the time she pulled away, I was already a disheveled and battered mess. My delicate body and face were stinging badly which I suspected were filled with claw marks. My dress was torn and my make-up was smudged. Emma was panting heavily as she glared at me. I tried not to wince and clutch my burning arm. I looked around and everyone was present. Father, mother, Alex, Philip, and Julian were holding onto Emma. She pushed him away and stood defiantly. The maids all scurried away.

I hurriedly spoke up. "It's good that you are all here. Look what she did to me. She's nuts. She has completely lost it," I said to them.

"What happened here?" Father asked Emma.

"Ask your precious daughter. She knows better than I do," she replied.

"Can you see that? So rude!" I exclaimed.

"You were asked a question," Mother said.

"I don't know what came over her all of a sudden. I told you she's crazy. This is an assault. She assaulted the Luna of this pack in her very home. She needs to be dealt with," I responded.

"You lying b***h!" Emma snarled trying to come towards me again. I quickly stepped back.

"No one moves an inch until you both explain what is going on here. Do you both think this is a battlefield? What would the pack members think?" Father scolded sternly, making Emma stop in her steps.

"She attacked my kids and me in her wolf form. How could you do that to kids? They are barely seven years old. Do you know the kind of fright you gave them? I get that you hate me for reasons I know nothing about but how dare you involve my kids in this?" she asked angrily.

"Is this true? Why am I even asking? Of course, it's true. At this point, I won't be surprised even if you are accused of murder," Alex spat.

"Alex, you are my husband and you should be taking my side but you are agreeing with her without asking me about it first? Is it because she's your mate and I'm not," I retorted angrily.

"Hailey, I'm going to ask you this once. Did you or did you not attack Emma and her kids?" Father asked.

"I did not. I was home all day and I only went out for a drive because everyone was ignoring me. She's spewing lies because she knew you would all believe her. I know I made mistakes in the past but how can you trust her words over mine?" I inquired, sounding hurt. How did Emma know that it was me? I had intentionally attacked her in my wolf form so she wouldn't replace out.

"Check her right arm. She got injured when she attacked us," she said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" I asked silently, cursing at the stupid wound that refused to heal fast. Mother walked towards me.

"Show me your arm," she ordered calmly.

"Mother, don't listen..," she cut me off by holding onto my arm tightly without averting her gaze from mine. I winced when she tore the sleeve of my dress exposing my injured arm. She glanced at it before looking back at me.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I..," she cut me off again by slapping me. She panted slightly trying to control her anger by balling her hands into fists. I stared at her in shock.

"This was just a warning. Try this again and the wounds I will inflict on you next won't be able to ever heal," Emma threatened before storming out.

"Hailey, you are a disappointment. How could you, a Luna stoop so low as to attack someone? Have you lost it? This pack was endangered today because of you. I can't allow someone like you to remain Luna. I'm stripping you of your title. First thing tomorrow morning, I will inform the council so they can make it official. This pack won't survive another six years with a reckless Luna like you," Father said before leaving. Julian followed after him. I stared at his retreating back in shock. Stripped off my title? That's not possible. This is just a terrible dream.

"H..he can't do that, right? I won't be stripped off my title. N...no, that can't happen to me," I shook my head in denial as a tear fell from my eyes.

"That's the consequences of your actions and you will have to face it alone. You are not a child yet you still behave thoughtlessly. How did you become such a lying, conniving and manipulative person? I feel so ashamed on your behalf," Mother said with disappointment before trying to head inside. I held onto her hand tightly.

"Mother, Father will listen to you if you would just plead on my behalf. He will do anything for your sake. He can't strip me of my title. That's all I am. Being Luna is what makes me feel alive, please Mother, help me," I pleaded tears cascading down my cheeks. "I told you right, I don't have a daughter like you. The daughter I had is obviously gone. All I can see is a stranger who doesn't deserve a place in my home," she said, prying my hands from hers and heading upstairs. I fell onto the floor feeling my entire world crashing in front of me. Julian suddenly appeared and behind him were maids carrying my suitcases. Thunder rumbled loudly and rain started to pour.

"Get out," he ordered.

"W..what? Where do you expect me to go? I've lived here my entire life," I managed to reply to his words.

"We are not related anymore. You are no longer Luna and Alex is filing for a divorce first thing tomorrow morning. You've crossed the line Hailey and we've only endured you because of our past together. We should have cut all ties long ago then all this wouldn't have happened," Philip replied. "I haven't agreed to divorce Alex. We are still married," I said.

"We don't need you to agree. You all should do the needful," Julian ordered the maids who started to walk toward me. Alex stood calmly with his hands in his pocket.

"Alex, say something. Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands," I warned the maids.

"Good riddance," Alex muttered before walking towards his office. Julian and Philip followed. The maids held onto my hands while I was still in shock.

"Let me go. How dare you! Who do you think you are touching? I am still Luna" I screamed and thrashed around. They held me tightly and threw me out of the door. I landed on the floor with a thud. My suitcases were also thrown on the floor and the entire content littered the floor. It thundered and rained heavily on me and my suitcase as I sobbed uncontrollably.
