Chapter 7

Author: Crystal K
Zane’s eyes were bloodshot as he kicked open the door to Vivienne’s room.

He grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall.

“What did you do?! That was lethal Wolfsbane! Are you insane?!”

My father, Hector, stood in the doorway, clutching his phone with the viral recording, his entire body shaking.

The proof was undeniable.

Vivienne knew she couldn’t pretend anymore.

She ripped off her mask of innocence and screamed, a hysterical, shrill sound that pierced the air.

“Yes! I switched

  • My Own Family Chose Her Over Me   Chapter 9

    We landed and hit the ground running.Maeve and I threw ourselves into building our new pack and corporate empire.By the end of the year, we had achieved total victory.Our crisis management firm went public, and its market value tripled in three months.I looked at the massive year-end bonus that hit my account and didn’t even blink. I just took a sip of my black coffee.More importantly, our new, emerging pack had shaken the entire North American werewolf community.Yesterday, a special envoy from the Alliance Council came to our headquarters in person, respectfully hand-delivering our official invitation to join them.Before, I had to bleed and break myself for a year just for a chance to compete for a low-level spot in the Alliance.Now, I was one of the people who sat at the round table, making the rules.And another miracle had occurred.After a long recovery, far away from the toxic drain of my “family,” my body had finally purged the last of the Wolfsbane and silver poison.On

  • My Own Family Chose Her Over Me   Chapter 8

    The moment I pushed open the doors to the intensive care unit, the sterile smell of disinfectant hit me.My mother, Freda, lay on the bed, an oxygen mask covering her face.The once proud and powerful Luna of the Silver Moon pack looked withered and frail.At the sound of my footsteps, her eyes shot open. Tears instantly streamed from their corners.“Harper…” she rasped, her hand reaching out for me.I took a single, cold step back, out of her reach.Her hand froze in mid-air before she covered her face and broke down into ragged sobs.“Harper, I’m so sorry… I didn’t know it was Wolfsbane! I just wanted to weaken you for a day! I thought you were so strong, that one missed opportunity wouldn’t matter, that you’d bounce back… I never, ever wanted to kill you!”I just watched her.“So let me get this straight. As long as it's not lethal, poisoning your own daughter is okay?”Her crying stopped abruptly. Her face went white. She had no answer.My father, Hector, stood nearby, his eyes red

Are you insane?!”My father, Hector, stood in the doorway, clutching his phone with the viral recording, his entire body shaking.The proof was undeniable.Vivienne knew she couldn’t pretend anymore.She ripped off her mask of innocence and screamed, a hysterical, shrill sound that pierced the air.“Yes! I switched it! So what?!” she shrieked. “Why should Harper have everything? A pure bloodline, a spot in the Alliance just handed to her! I was jealous! I wish she were dead!”SMACK!My father slapped her so hard she fell to the floor, her lip bleeding.But after the slap, both my father and Zane froze, as if struck by lightning.The horrifying truth slammed into them.Zane stared at his own hands in disbelief, his voice shaking. “No wonder… no wonder she went flying when I pushed her that night…”The piece

    Day five of my new life.I was reviewing a newly signed contract for a top-tier client when I casually scrolled through social media.A familiar face popped up.Vivienne.She had posted a close-up photo.In it, a very faint red scratch, not even breaking the skin, was visible on her pale wrist.The caption read: “So much pressure starting my first job at the Alliance. Sometimes, I wish people weren’t so jealous. Maybe then there wouldn’t be so much fighting and hurt. But it’s okay, I’ll stay strong.”The comments exploded.“Isn’t this the sister of the future Luna of Silver Moon pack? What happened?”“I heard her sister got jealous that she got into the Alliance and ran away from home!”“Oh my god, Harper is such a brat. Bullying a poor Omega, how pathetic can you get?”I looked at the comments, a cold smile playing on my lips.What was even more ironic was the top comment.It was from a verified account. My mother, Luna Freda.“It’s my fault for not raising my eldest daughter better.

    By midday, my “family” back at the pack finally noticed something was wrong.I sat in my new office, watching my phone screen light up over and over.“Harper, Vivienne is trying on the gown. Where did you put the matching sapphire necklace?”“Lunch is ready, come downstairs and eat.”“How long are you going to keep up this tantrum? Answer your phone!”A dozen missed calls from my mother followed.I let out a cold smirk and silenced my phone.They were finally realizing I wasn’t just sulking in my room.I was gone.At 2 p.m., the screen flashed again.This time it was Zane.“Harper! Where the hell did you go?” His voice was sharp with irritation. But underneath, a thread of panic. He didn't even know it was there.“Everyone is looking for you! Even if you’re mad about yesterday, haven’t you had enough? You’re the future Luna of this pack, there’s work to be done. How can you be so irresponsible and just disappear?”This was my mate.In his eyes, I was just a machine. Indestructible, rat

    The driver kept glancing at me in the rearview mirror, his eyes wide with terror.I was covered in blood, my face ghostly white.“Ma’am, you need to go to a hospital,” he said, his voice trembling. “Your leg is still bleeding.”“The airport,” I said coldly, tossing a wad of cash onto the front seat. “As fast as you can.”The driver swallowed hard, didn't ask another question, and slammed his foot on the gas.At the airport, I found the most secluded restroom and locked myself in a stall.Gritting my teeth, I unwrapped the bandage from my arm. It was soaked through with black blood.Shards of silver were still embedded in my flesh, the skin around it already rotting and turning black.I turned on the faucet and shoved my arm under the ice-cold water.The pain was electric, shocking my entire nervous system. Cold sweat drenched my shirt in an instant.I had no tools.I had no choice. I had to dig the silver out with my own damn fingers.With every piece I pulled out, my wolf convulsed in

    “What’s there to celebrate?” I cut her off, my voice ice.Silence.Then, a choked, pathetic sob from Vivienne.“Sister, why would you say that…? It’s my first time at the Alliance gala, I’m just scared I’ll embarrass the pack. The gown… if you really can’t part with it, I can wear something old. It’

    My wolf whimpered. I was staring at the screen. At the family group chat. The one I wasn't in.My phone buzzed violently in my hand.I took a deep breath, forcing the tremor out of my voice before I answered.“Harper,” my mother’s voice commanded. Like she owned me. “Get that deep blue couture gown

    At 11:30 PM, I heard the front door open downstairs.The scent of expensive champagne and the sound of a happy family’s laughter drifted up the stairs.They were home.My face was a mask as I picked up my suitcase. I was about to head down, but I met all four of them at the top of the stairs.My mot
