The Pack-Echo omens erupted in righteous fury across every scrying mirror:

【Can this piece of trash just DROP DEAD?! He's forcing our precious male lead to KNEEL. I'm howling in grief, our poor baby male lead!】

【Thank the Moon Mother the female lead will expose him for swapping the ritual sigils and give the championship back to the male lead!】

【The best part comes later—the female lead never forgets how the male lead was humiliated. She pretends to pursue the former intended mate, then rejects the mating bond AT THE CEREMONY on their claiming day! The supporting male's whole pack is disgraced, their territory holdings collapse! The female lead claims their hunting grounds and drives his accomplice parents into such ruin they throw themselves from the mountain cliffs!】

I stared at that last omen.

My vision went red at the edges, wolf surging beneath my skin.

The Pack-Echo omens shrieked:

【WAIT—can he actually SEE these?!】

I wrenched my gaze away, forcing my claws to retract, pretending I hadn't seen a thing.

The omen-feed settled when I showed no reaction:

[There's no way a side character can perceive the pack-echoes. The one above must be moon-touched.]
