"Sisters?" I laughed mockingly. "When have you ever treated me like your sister? Have you forgotten all the things you've done to me?! Unfortunately, I haven't forgotten any of it...!"I removed the veil, revealing the hideous scars, and saw the shock on Jenna's face. I looked at her coldly and said as calmly as possible, "Do you believe in retribution? I do. And this is what you deserve!"I shook her hand off and turned toward the door.Jenna lifted the covers off the bed and stumbled after me, then fell to the ground. She wrapped her arms around my legs, grabbed my trousers, and cried, "No! Don't go! Rylee, I was wrong! I know that I was selfish, vicious, and shameless... It was all my fault! I regret all of it! I shouldn't have done this to you! I shouldn't have taken everything away from you! Please forgive me! I... I'll return everything back to you! Everything! Your name, your identity... and Lionel! Don't you love Lionel very much? I'll give him back to you!!!"I paused in my s

(Lionel's POV)Generally speaking, Moonlight Herb grew on the forest's cliffside. It took two years for one to grow. The herb was rare but not particularly hard to come by.But recently, it's been strange. I searched the entire forest but couldn't find a single one. However, there were traces of ash along the cliffs to the east.Who burned this place?Ben and I headed north. As we approached the Razor Fang Gang’s territory, we encountered more sneak attacks.My Gamma, Gary, urged me to return to the pack so my enthronement ceremony wouldn't be delayed.After pondering for a while, I finally decided to head back for now.Finding the Moonlight Herb didn’t seem like a simple matter now, and I needed more people as well to do a detailed investigation.When I pushed open the medical room door after arriving home, the scene I saw made my blood boil with fury.A woman was pressing down on Rylee, who was twitching, and her eyes were losing focus. She... looked like she was dying!I push the w

"Be quiet," Franz whispered in my ear, and carried me down a slope.He placed me down on the ground where the grass could cover my body, and I was baffled the entire time.Why was he here?Shouldn't he be by his unconscious Luna's side? I avoided his touch, seeing a hint of hurt in his eyes.He whispered, "Stay here and wait for me. Be quiet."With that said, he leaped back up the slope, landing right before those guards.I watched the men through the grass as one of the guards asked, "Beta Franz! Why are you here?"Franz shrugged. "Alpha sent me out on an errand. What's up? Why are you guys here?""We're chasing a woman. Did you see anyone on your way here?""Sure did. She ran that way," Franz said, pointing in a direction opposite to where I was hiding and asked, "Who is this woman?"The guards exchanged glances but didn't answer, "Are you sure she ran that way?"Franz sneered coldly, "Are you questioning me?"The guards immediately shook their heads. "O-of course not! That wasn't

Franz and Stacey came running over as I stood staring at my father.My father's gaze swept over us and stopped on Franz. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"Franz didn't answer. He simply looked away awkwardly.My father sneered. "I see. You were the one who helped Rylee get away."Franz didn't deny it.My father roared angrily, "You're the Beta of the Blood Shadow Pack, yet you're hooking with these Rogues! Have you decided to become a traitor?!"Franz remained silent. Stacey moved to my side and whispered, "It doesn't make sense. This place is well hidden, so unless someone leads them here, there's no way they could have found us."I looked over to Cara, who was standing behind my father.Cara panicked and avoided my gaze.Just then, my father said loudly to everyone, "Yes, you've guessed it right. Miss Cara has a deep sense of justice and volunteered to lead the way for us. She's now a valued guest of our pack because of her dedication to catching the sinner! Of course, every

An hour ago.Stacey placed the diamond tiara on my head. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, she whispered, "Oh, honey, you look beautiful."I smiled. "Thank you, Stacey."I straightened my dress and moved to leave my room. Just as I opened the door, I saw my mother standing in the doorway, her hand poised to knock.A silent moment passed before my mother asked awkwardly, "Are you ready?"I nodded, and she lowered her hand and licked her dry lips before saying with pleading eyes, "Could I speak to you for a moment?""Alright, but not for too long," I said.Stacey left, and my mother entered the small, cramped bedroom. Her eyes roamed over the worn furniture, and she pursed her lips."How could your father let you live in a place like this?" Mom choked.My mother had been caring for Jenna in the hospital and had not been to see me, so she didn't really know what was happening with me.If she cared a little more about me, she wouldn't have been ignorant about my situation.But this
