My twin Alpha brothers believed that I have deliberately hidden the vast inheritance left by our Alpha parents so that our adoptive sister Sophia couldn’t by the medical equipment to treat her silver poisoning. For the sake of our adoptive sister, my twin Alpha brothers dragged me before the Council's tribunal. They accused me of stealing pack assets and deliberately harming pack members. If the charges stuck, the Alpha Council would strip away my Alpha power to treat Sophia. My brothers had no idea that years ago, I'd nearly died protecting them. If I lost my Alpha bloodline strength, I would die. In my own brothers' eyes, I was already a criminal beyond redemption. But when the Council used ancient magic to extract my memories for judgment, everyone wept for me. And when my brothers learned the truth, they fell to their knees, begging my forgiveness.
view moreThree 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
"As an Omega losing pack protection," the Elder's voice was pitiless, "it is essentially a death sentence. But you chose this path when you decided to destroy an innocent person's life.""Please!" Sophia fell to her knees, tears streaming down her scarred face. "I was just trying to survive! They loved me! I gave them what they wanted!""You gave them poison disguised as love," I said quietly, speaking for the first time since the verdict.When Kane and Ryan were led away in their silver chains, I expected them to look at me. To say something. To acknowledge what they'd done.But they never looked at me once.Kane stared at the floor as the guards dragged him past my seat. Ryan's eyes were closed, as if he could make reality disappear by refusing to see it.Perhaps they finally understood the magnitude of their mistakes.Or perhaps they simply couldn't face me.Either way, it was too late for apologies.The pack members began filing out, many stopping to bow their heads to me respectfu
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
The guards immediately grabbed her shoulders with iron grips, their claws extending slightly to ensure she couldn't escape. They dragged her back to the plaintiff's section like she weighed nothing.Sophia struggled frantically, her careful mask finally slipping to reveal the desperation beneath. "No! You can't do this to me! I'm an Omega! I'm the victim here!"Her voice rose to a shriek. "I've suffered enough! My parents died! I was poisoned! I'm innocent!"Kane and Ryan exchanged glances, something cold and terrible dawning in their eyes.Suddenly, Kane shot to his feet like a man possessed, his chair clattering backward."You liar!" He pointed at Sophia with a shaking finger, his voice breaking with rage and betrayal. "You've been using us all these years! Playing us like fools!"Ryan stood beside his twin, his face a mask of horror and fury. "We gave you everything! We loved you like our own sister!"Sophia's expression froze for a moment, then twisted into a savage sneer that tran
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
I released her and plunged into the snow without looking back, her laughter echoing behind me like the call of a carrion bird.The memory ended abruptly.The courtroom had fallen into dead silence so complete I could hear my own heartbeat.On the projection screen, the evidence was undeniable—the tampered contract with Kane's private seal, recorded conversations between Sophia and the Frost Wind emissary about power transfers, and detailed plans for my murder disguised as a marriage alliance.In the gallery, an elderly wolf warrior suddenly stood, his scarred face twisted with rage. "You... you dared to sell your own blood kin?!"Other voices joined his:"They planned to murder her!""For money!""Those aren't Alphas—they're merchants selling their sister's life!"Kane's face turned ashen as the accusations flew. "She's lying! These memories are fabricated!"But his voice cracked with desperation, and everyone could hear the guilt bleeding through."The memory magic is flawless," someo
