My father’s beta assaulted me, killed me, dismembered me, and took my phone. Abelard remained unaware of these events. He simply told my father with a cold expression, “Peaches won’t even answer my calls. She made her mate tell me she finds
our family disgusting.”
My father was furious, slamming his hand on the table and cursing me as a worthless omega. It seemed that those in high positions were often superstitious. He favored Delilah because her birth brought rapid expansion and abundant resources to his territory, multiplying its wealth. Conversely, my birth had brought attacks from other wolf packs, nearly costing him his

My father controlled the finances of the entire pack. This allowed Delilah to attend grand social balls in luxurious evening gowns, mingling with Alphas.

My mother froze, staring at her.
“She works in the medical department and is always swamped. How could she possibly have time to socialize?”
She continued, “Besides, Peaches cares about you. She saved up for months, and when we went shopping, she bought a diamond necklace, saying she planned to give it to you when she came home for your sister’s wedding.”

Seeing this, Lola and her mother had nothing more to say and left politely.
My mother bought many mangoes, Delilah’s favorite, and carried two large bags home.
At the door, she took out her keys to unlock

Her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
“Luna Faye, the Silver Blade Pack has found Peaches‘ body. Please come to claim it. We detected beta Colin’s scent on the body and have apprehended him.”
“Please come as soon as possible!”
