One afternoon, Gin came into Danna's room and told her to go to the alpha's room, that he was waiting for her. Danna was incredulous at the unusual invitation, but quickly went there. When he opened the door, he found Lamia lying on her mate's bed. She grumbled inwardly and asked herself, "What is this woman doing here?"

"Danna, what a pleasant surprise.

Danna felt the door being closed behind her and sensed that it was a trap. Without saying anything, he turned and walked to the door. He picked up the knob and tried to open it, but it was closed.

"Are you afraid of being locked up with me, your stupid omega?" Lamia muttered maliciously.

"No! I just don't want to have a problem with the alpha," Danna replied nervously.

Lamia got out of bed and approached Danna with a ruthless look.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll make sure you have a lot of trouble with him." I'm sick of you getting in my way. Eros is mine, he loves only me, and you are nothing but an insignificant omega. Forget about taking my place in this herd. I gave you a month's opportunity to leave, but I see you want to die.

Danna felt a mixture of outrage and fear at Lamia's threats. He knew that this she-wolf was dangerous and was willing to do anything to get what he wanted. However, Danna also had pride, and she wasn't going to be easily intimidated.

"Make no mistake, Lamia. I'm not trying to take anything away from you. Eros and I have a special connection, and he has decided to be with me. Don't you dare interfere in our relationship," Danna replied, trying to remain calm.

Lamia looked at her contemptuously and moved even closer, causing Danna to take a step back.

"Don't be brave, omega. You're nothing but a nuisance to me. But I can make your stay here hell. If you stay, you will regret every day of your life.

At that moment, they knocked twice on the door. Lamia quickly ruffled her hair, pulled out a knife, and walked over to Danna.

"What are you going to do with that knife?" Danna blurted out with fear in her eyes.

"Your death."

Lamia quickly put the knife in her right hand, without letting go, raised it to the height of her shoulder and stuck the knife to her side while screaming.

"Danna, don't kill me. I will speak to Eros so that you will be his Moon and I will leave this herd. Just then they opened the door and Lamia let go of Danna and fell to the floor with tears in her eyes. I'll get out of your way, but please don't keep hurting me. I'm innocent, it's not my fault that Eros loves me like Luna.

Eros was entering when he heard Lamia. He ran to help her when he saw her lying on the floor.

"What happened here?" What did you do, Omega? Where did you get that knife? He shouted, glaring at Danna furiously.

At that moment, Gin walked in and put her hand to her mouth, incredulous at what she was looking at. With fear in his eyes, he said.

"Sir, I'm to blame. Danna grabbed a knife from the kitchen. Only I saw it. I asked him what he needed it for and...

"Damn you, stop talking!" He growled in despair as he pressed against Lamia's wound, who clung to the alpha's arms in fear.

"She told me that if I opened my mouth or accused her of taking a knife, she was going to kill me.

"Eros, please don't retaliate against her," Lamia said, her voice difficult. She thinks I'm taking her mate away, but I told her I was leaving the pack and leaving you free. I don't understand why he did this to me.

Danna was paralyzed by everything that happened. He swallowed hard at the sight of his mate's murderous gaze. With a thin voice, he could only defend himself.

"It's a lie what they say. I didn't do anything to him. It was Lamia who attacked me and tried to blame me. Please, Eros, you know I wouldn't do something like that.

"Shut up! You have no excuses. I heard Lamia begging you not to hurt her." He turned his gaze to Gin. Call the doctor to come and check on Lamia and Santino, to come now.

Gin ran off. Eros got up with Lamia in his arms and laid her on his bed. That's when Santino arrived.

"Sir! Did he send for me?

"Get this woman out of my sight and lock her in her room.

At that moment, the pack doctor entered the room and checked Lamia. He administered some painkillers because the woman was crying, then cleaned the wound and put five stitches in it. After finishing, he went to Eros to inform him about his state of health.

"She's fine, I sedated her to calm her nerves. The wound was not deep, in a few days it will be completely healed.

"Thank you, Benjamin," the doctor goes out, and one of his men rushes in.

"Sir, the council has heard what happened, they are in the room, they ask for your presence.

Eros, feeling furious and frustrated, gave a long sigh and left the room. He went downstairs and found a group of five old men.

"Alpha, we're here because we've heard about the tragedy that happened to poor Lamia. We warned you that this omega was going to bring you problems and you didn't listen," Fabrizio blurted out.

"Lamia is fine, it was only a superficial wound. As for the omega, I will take care of her punishment. Also, I explained to them that Hercules gets out of control when I separate from his mate, so I will have her as a lover.

"You can't let your wolf dominate you. We are a balance between man and animal. Man is knowledge and intelligence, and the animal is strength. Like a wolf, he must obey your orders," said another elder.

Hercules listened and growled inwardly.

"You are right," Eros replied earnestly. I've got to master my wolf.

"Exactly. As the leader of the pack, you have a great responsibility. You must remember that your decisions affect all members, both humans and wolves. Don't let your instincts get the better of you.

"You should mark Lamia as soon as possible so that the people feel safe about an Alpha Moon and don't spread rumors that you have a savage one as a mate," a third elder blurted out.

"I want that omega to be whipped for her mate, in front of us, so that she learns to respect her superiors," the oldest old man of them all blurted out.

The alpha linked up with two of his men and ordered them to bring a whip and Danna.

Danna was crying in bed with her head between her legs when she felt the door open. Fear gripped her when she saw two burly men taking a few steps toward her.

"Please don't hurt me," he begged in a trembling voice.

Each of the men grabbed her by the shoulders and led her out of the room.

"What do you want from me?" Danna tried to resist, but she was at a distinct disadvantage against them.

They took her into the living room and threw her at the feet of her alpha, another man handed the whip to Eros.
