LOGINMy adopted Omega sister, Maya Bardolph, is known to be innocent and kindhearted. Before the practical admission assessment, I specifically tell her not to interfere in any way. But she secretly puts a prohibited performance booster into my water bottle. I am reported for cheating on the spot. My results are canceled, and I am permanently blacklisted. When I break down and demand an explanation, she bursts into tears, looking pitiful and wronged. She weeps, "Sierra, I just wanted you to get first place... I didn't know things would turn out like this." My boyfriend, Dale Ashshade, immediately pulls her into his arms and blames me instead. He scolds, "She is only trying to help. Why are you being so harsh to her?" My parents chastise me frostily as well. "Isn't it just one practical assessment? She's an Omega. She doesn't understand these things. Can't you be more patient with her?" To apologize, Maya smilingly brings me a cup of herbal tea later. "Sierra, I made this just for you. Promise you won't be mad at me anymore after you drink it, okay?" Without thinking much about it, I drink the tea. But what she uses to brew the tea is highly poisonous silver oleander. I die from the poisoning. Outside the emergency room, Maya cries hysterically, "I'm sorry! I didn't know silver oleander is poisonous... I just wanted to apologize to Sierra..." When questioned by the Enforcers, Dale calmly gives false testimony. "After Sierra was caught cheating, she became mentally unstable. She couldn't accept how things turned out and took silver oleander to kill herself..." When I open my eyes again, I return to the day before the assessment.

Mom, Dad, you have to trust me!"I just wanted to help Sierra get first place, and I had no idea it was a banned drug. The seller told me it was just ordinary nutritional powder…"I'm just too stupid and careless, and I'm always causing trouble for Sierra."Sierra, I'm sorry. I know I've messed up! Please, help me explain to the Elders!"I watched her pathetic, clumsy act coldly, then crouched down to look at her at eye level."You were awfully persistent in helping me, Maya. You chased me around asking for my water bottle, and when I wouldn't give it to you, you and Dale went out of your way trying to force me to drink the banned substances."If you really thought it was just a supplement, why didn't you openly give it to me? Why did you have to spike my water behind my back?"You always say
The Elder Council representative pondered briefly and exchanged a few quiet words with Garrick before addressing the room."Everyone present today will undergo a diagnostic test, candidates and staff members alike."The Enforcers will begin with today's volunteers, focusing on anyone carrying unauthorized communication devices and banned substances. Anyone found carrying either will be severely punished."Enforcers, divide into groups and begin the sweep!""No!" Maya shrieked.She frantically thrashed to break free and escape the Enforcers' search, but they pinned her to the floor.Tears streamed down her face as she stammered, "T-This is humiliating!"Sierra's the only one cheating and taking drugs. Why should the rest of us have to go through a search just because of her?"She doesn't own this assessment ground. Does her authority rank higher than the Alpha's? Why are you all doing whatever she says?"Garrick frowned at her. "The candidates are very cooperative because no on
Nobody paid any attention to Maya. Instead, my teammates immediately crowded around Garrick."Sierra didn't even set foot on the assessment grounds, so our scores shouldn't be affected, right?""Exactly! The Alpha might have been alerted because of the surveillance request, but since she didn't enter the grounds today, she technically isn't a candidate. Even if she did take drugs, that's her personal issue, which shouldn't affect us."When Maya realized that she was completely ignored, her face paled, and she clenched her fists tightly."Sierra, why didn't you tell us you were dropping out of the assessment? Mom and Dad heard rumors about your cheating outside, and they were both so anxious that they fainted."I raised an eyebrow in feigned surprise and turned around to look at Garrick."Can volunteers carry personal communication devices into the grounds? If I recall the assessment protocols correctly, only the Elder's office houses an external landline. Everyone else is prohibi
The moment the words left my mouth, everyone fell into stunned silence.Dale was the first to snap out of it and let out a cold laugh, as if he had just heard the biggest joke on earth."You're literally standing here, Sierra. What? Are you trying to tell us we were looking at a ghost in the waiting area today?"What's more, Maya personally poured water into your bottle. There were so many of us around, and we can all testify to that!"Stop spinning lies to clear your name. Are you trying to claim all of us forced you to take the banned boosters?"There are security cameras all over the grounds. I believe the assessment committee can check them and get to the bottom of this."Maya timidly lifted her head and looked at me, constantly dabbing at the tears on her face. To an outsider, it would have looked like we were a pair of deeply bonded sisters."Sierra, I know you're terrified of being exiled from the pack, but lying is wrong. Everyone just saw you hanging out in the waiting
