Chapter 8

Author: Magnolia
The day the ruling was officially handed down, I had dinner at home with my parents.

Sera's maternal clan was still protesting. Howls echoed across the pack, one after another.

"Nora, you're too thin. Eat more."

Mom placed a piece of meat in my bowl.

I ate in big, hungry bites.

For the first time in as long as I could remember, I felt at peace.

After dinner, the doorbell rang. Ethan stood outside.

"This is the pack's official compensation paperwork for you."

He handed me an envelope.

    Later, with the Alpha King's approval, I transferred to a larger aid organization.We took in the ones nobody wanted.Omegas whose awakening had failed, their wolves left incomplete.Wolves cast out of their packs not for any crime, but for standing on the wrong side of a power struggle, or for not standing on any side at all, just unlucky enough to be in someone's way.Half-grown pups who couldn't survive in human society but had no pack to return to, with wolf blood in their veins and human rules in their bones, belonging nowhere, kicked around like a soccer ball nobody wanted.They arrived in every state imaginable.Some were silent as stone, some were volatile like a pressure cooker ready to blow, and some pressed themselves into a corner and didn't speak a single word all day.I didn't think of myself as saving anyone.I just knew what it felt like to have no shore on either side, so I wanted to stand on one.That was all.When spring came, the wind blew up from the south.I was r

    After that, I was busy with the wolf-human aid center. Most of what happened, I heard in pieces.After Sera's father was exiled, the marriage arrangement between the two families dissolved.She ended up near a human settlement on the outskirts.Someone spotted her in a restaurant, wearing an apron, carrying plates, wiping down tables.I heard about it during a cross-pack rescue operation.The border shelter was overflowing with elderly and vulnerable wolves evacuated from a conflict zone.I was kneeling on the ground, bandaging a young Omega pup's wound.Two volunteers chatting nearby mentioned her in passing. That was all.Now, my days were full. There was always too much to do.I had no spare thoughts for the past.People who no longer mattered were just names.

Keep it safe."I took it and said thank you.He nodded but didn't leave.I waited a few seconds and started to close the door.His voice came suddenly."Are you really leaving the pack?"I said yes. One word, clean and final.

    After all those years, I finally had the courage to show my scars to the world.I filed a formal accusation against Sera for everything she'd done to me, including conspiring with Ethan to deceive me.In front of everyone, I became the key witness.Sera was sentenced to exile. She would never enter my world again.And then, inexplicably, Ethan started preparing for a Blue Moon ceremony.By the time the news reached me, I was crouching in the backyard of the aid center, planting flowers.The border soil was terrible. Hard as rock.I'd been digging with a small trowel for ages just to make one hole."Ethan says he'll mark you in front of the pack at the next full moon."I listened to my mother's voice message and kept working.Ethan really was something. He still acted as though none of it had happened.As though he were still the untouchable Alpha heir and I was still the helpless Omega who needed saving.He seemed to think that cutting ties with Sera and clearing away the obstacles was

    Three days later, I dragged my broken body out of the hospital.They said I was stable enough to leave.Funny word, "stable."Stable enough to be weak. Stable enough to be irreversible. Stable enough to be defective.My phone had been buzzing all day.Even the hospital TV was running the story.Sera walked into the werewolf tribunal in her signature coat, hair down, surrounded by a crowd, with reporters and furious onlookers lining both sides.Someone hurled a water bottle at her car. It left a streak across the glass."Care to comment? Born into wealth, your troubled relationship with your stepmother warped you into a violent personality. Throughout middle and high school, as the ringleader of a bullying group, you systematically tormented your stepsister—burning her, verbally humiliating her—until she dropped out and developed PTSD. Is that correct?""You've been accused of poisoning your stepsister's water during her first shift, causing her to become an Omega. Is that true?""Sprea

    "Blood! Why is there so much blood?"The shriek made Ethan finally look down and see me on the floor.He scooped me up. His hands were shaking."No... Nora, why are you on the floor?"I could barely keep my eyes open. I couldn't even tell if he was panicking."Ethan, do you see me?""What? I can't hear you.""Why did you come after me?"His body shuddered."Is this it? Does this count as settling the score for your beloved?"Ethan's mouth moved. He might have said something, but I didn't catch it.Everything went black.When I woke again, the hospital lights stung so badly I could barely open my eyes."Luna's body shows excessive damage, far worse than a typical Omega. It appears her wolf was disrupted during adolescent awakening.""When I was sixteen and going through my first shift, my stepsister put a potion laced with wolfsbane in my water."My voice came out flat. My eyes held nothing.That was how I became the weakest Omega in the pack.For a long time, I'd had my doubts. Both my
