Chapter 290 The Alpha King’s Press Conference
At eight AM sharp, the Alpha King held a press conference at the Wolfe Pack’s corporate building.
Nearly every major werewolf media outlet showed up. This included several that had clashed with Alpha Dominic’s business empire before.
Alpha Dominic’s eyes swept across the packed conference hall. He looked like a predator watching his territory. His voice was ice cold.
“About yesterday’s social media mess, I’m here to clear things up. My Luna has no connection to Alpha Zack Blackwood. If anyone keeps spreading lies with fake photos, our legal team isn’t just decoration. You should all think carefully about your careers.”
This wasn’t a press conference. This was a public threat.
A reporter from Supernatural News Network raised his hand. They’d fought with Wolfe Industries over bad coverage before. “Excuse me, Alpha King, are you saying your Luna doesn’t have a questionable past?”
The room got much colder. Even reporters in the back could feel the strong energy coming from Alpha Dominic.
Alpha Dominic laughed, but it sounded cold. “Questionable past?”
“You’re Reporter Stevens, right? What’s questionable is your journalism degree. Did you get it from a cereal box?”
“Since this is public and you’re trying to make me angry, I’m warning you and your boss. SNN will either say sorry publicly or face a lawsuit that will destroy you. And Stevens? Start looking for a new job.”
His sharp eyes looked at every face in the room. “Does anyone else have questions about my pack or my family?”
Complete silence.
Who would dare ask anything now? One wrong question could end their career.
Alpha Dominic smiled with no warmth. “I hope some media outlets will focus on real news instead of spreading gossip like high school students. Thanks for getting up early. We’re done.”
Alpha Dominic walked out without another word. He left behind a room full of shocked reporters.
Meanwhile, Susan had stayed up until three AM last night. She’d been scrolling through comments attacking Elara and feeling totally satisfied. She’d fallen asleep with a smug smile, already imagining Elara’s reaction to all the hate comments today.
That’s what you get for showing off your perfect marriage all over social media. Everyone knows couples who constantly post their relationship online are just pretending everything’s fine.
When Susan woke up around ten AM, she couldn’t wait to see Luna Elara’s scandal exploding all over the internet.
She grabbed her iPhone and casually texted her contact at the production company, trying to act innocent.
But her insider didn’t respond.Strange.
Susan opened Twitter expecting to see Elara’s name still trending, but instead found something that made her blood run cold. She sat up straight in her expensive bed.

Her hands shook as she clicked on the trending topic. Her social media feed exploded with photos of her husband Richard and some young blonde woman.
Brutal comments flooded every post, each one cutting deep.
Not only had every trace of the Elara scandal completely vanished, but now it was Susan’s name plastered across TMZ, entertainment websites, and gossip blogs everywhere.
The tables had turned completely.
Susan screamed in anger and threw her phone across their master bedroom.
It shattered against the marble wall.
Her mind was completely focused on the devastating news of her husband’s very public affair.
She had zero mental energy left to target Luna Elara anymore.

Alpha Zack had also seen the trending scandal before it disappeared from social media.
Even though the Alpha King’s PR team had removed the story within hours, he wasn’t sure if Elara’s reputation was already damaged.
Alpha Zack met with a small group of entertainment reporters. His voice was calm and professional. “I want to talk about the rumors going around about me and Luna Elara Wolfe. We have no personal relationship at all. “
“Luna Elara used to work as a marketing consultant for Blackwood Industries three years ago. She is now happily married to Alpha King Dominic and having their first baby. “
“These fake photos are clearly someone trying to cause pack problems. I’m asking all news outlets to stop spreading lies that could hurt an innocent pregnant woman and her family.”
The statement was picked up by Shifter Weekly, Pack Politics Today, and several human entertainment blogs within an hour.
TMZ ran it as breaking news. The headline read “BLACKWOOD ALPHA SHUTS DOWN AFFAIR RUMORS.”
By noon, #Alpha Zack Sets Record Straight# was trending on Twitter. It completely buried the original scandal.
