A royal herald brings lavish presents, and Vivian's family credits her wedding. The Stepmother hits Ella, sending Kane's wolf tooth pendant flying across the stones. Vivian grabs the necklace and calls Ella's husband a thief. When Earl Grey refuses to defend Ella, she formally renounces her family. Vivian calls for a whip to punish Ella under pack law. An outside scout rushes to alert the Wolf King.
A messenger announces royal wedding gifts in the estate courtyard. Vivian and her family assume the riches are hers. Dale Walker claims his brother's royal ties brought the wealth, while the Stepmother mocks Ella for marrying a drifter.
Vivian ridicules Ella in the yard. The Stepmother slaps Ella hard enough to knock her to the ground. Ella's wolf tooth pendant flies off during the strike. Vivian snatches the heirloom and accuses Ella's husband of theft.
Ella begs Earl Grey to stand up for her against the lies. Her father refuses, stating that Vivian brings wealth while Ella only brings shame. Ella cuts ties with House Grey and tells them they are nothing to each other.
Ella asks for the pendant back, but Vivian refuses. Vivian invokes pack law and orders a whip to deliver ten lashes for family betrayal. At the estate gate, a royal scout spots the confrontation and runs to warn the Wolf King.
“Obviously, they're for our darling Vivian! Ella married a drifter. That wolfless loser? Not a chance.”
“Vivian's husband can bring us wealth and protection. And you? You've brought nothing but shame.”
“From this day on, I'm no longer a Grey. Whatever happens, we are nothing to each other.”
“Remember pack law, sis? Betray your family, get ten lashes. Get the whip!”
Vivian orders a whip to strike Ella ten times under pack law for disowning the family. Ella stands trapped in the courtyard while Vivian prepares to deliver the brutal punishment. Outside the gate, a scout sprints into the distance to find Kane. Will the Wolf King arrive in time to save Ella from the lashes?
