Alpha Brothers Begged for My Forgiveness

The Elder activated the ancient magic, beginning to extract and display my memories.When I was ten, the silver mines at the edge of our pack territory collapsed due to unstable geology. My twin brothers Kane and Ryan were still minors then, their Alpha powers not yet awakened. Against our parents' strict orders, they snuck into the mining area to explore.They got trapped by the collapsed tunnels. Silver dust filled the air, threatening suffocation or silver poisoning at any moment.I sensed the danger and entered the mines alone to find them.When I discovered them, Kane and Ryan were already unconscious from inhaling silver dust. I used my small body to shield them from falling rocks and toxic particles, barely managing to create an escape route.As I led them out, a sharp piece of silver ore crashed down from above. I shoved my brothers aside, but the fragments pierced through my shoulder. Silver poison invaded my bloodstream. From that day forward, my body remained weak until I aw

"Silence!" The Elder struck his gavel hard against the stone podium. "Evidence shows the defendant not only failed to misappropriate funds, but used her personal inheritance to fill the medical station's deficit."The sound echoed through the courtroom like thunder.In the gallery, pack members' expressions had shifted from anger to suspicion. Several elder wolves whispered among themselves, occasionally glancing toward the plaintiff's section with disgust."Beta Marcus, what do you think now?" an elderly she-wolf hissed to her companion."Those boys..." Marcus shook his graying head. "Alpha blood or not, they've disgraced their father's memory."Their murmurs reached my ears:"The ones who should be on trial are her brothers.""As pack Alphas, they abused their power and misappropriated pack resources for their adoptive sister.""They disregarded their blood sister's life. They don't deserve to be Alphas."I watched Kane's face grow paler with each whispered accusation. His hands clen

I gripped my skirt tightly, anger and helplessness warring in my chest. They never asked if I wanted another sister.The scene shifted to Sophia's first night after adoption.She wore my favorite nightgown—the soft blue one with silver thread—and clutched my childhood doll, the one father had given me for my eighth birthday.She was in my bed, under my covers, surrounded by my things."Aria, you sleep in the guest room tonight." Kane's tone brooked no argument. "Sophia just lost her parents. She needs security and familiar surroundings.""But this is my room," I said quietly."And now it's hers," Ryan added firmly. "She's been through enough."I silently gathered my pillow and a spare blanket, but as I walked down the hallway, I heard Sophia's voice drifting from my former room."This doll is so ugly," she said conversationally to Ryan. "And this nightgown is too rough. Can you buy me better things tomorrow?"Ryan's eager response made my stomach turn. "Of course! Whatever you need!"E

The Elder rose from his stone throne, his ancient voice carrying the weight of absolute authority."After reviewing all evidence and memories presented to this tribunal, I hereby declare defendant Aria innocent of all charges."The courtroom erupted in cheers, but he raised his staff for silence."Furthermore, the Alpha Council finds overwhelming evidence of crimes committed by the plaintiffs themselves."His cold gaze fell upon Kane and Ryan, who stood frozen like statues."Kane and Ryan, former Alphas of this pack, you are hereby stripped of your Alpha status and power for false accusations, abuse of authority, misappropriating pack assets, and attempting illegal power transfer."The ceremonial silver chains appeared in the guards' hands, glowing with ancient magic designed to contain Alpha power."You are sentenced to life imprisonment in the pack's forbidden territory, where you will have time to contemplate the magnitude of your betrayal."Kane's knees buckled. "No... we were tryi

Three days later, the pack held new Alpha elections.The great hall was packed with every pack member, tension thick in the air. Some faces showed hope, others uncertainty. Many still bore the shame of how quickly they'd turned against me.I stood before the council of elders, facing all pack members. My voice was calm but carried clearly to every ear."I know many of you have doubts about my fitness to lead." I began. "My power is damaged. My past is complicated. I have no experience governing a pack."Murmurs rippled through the crowd."But I can promise you this:" My voice grew stronger. "I don't promise you invincible power or eternal victory. I don't promise that following me will be easy or comfortable."I paused, meeting as many eyes as I could."But I can guarantee that from now on, every pack decision will not be built on lies and sacrifice. No one will be condemned without evidence. No one will be silenced for speaking truth."The crowd fell silent, absorbing my words.Then L
