I was infested with black magic at the age of twelve, and now six years later my therapist tells me that I am in the advanced stages of the disease and that I will be dead in a month's time at the most.When I asked my Alpha father for 10 bucks to buy cloth for my ceremonial robe, he reprimanded me for three hours."You think you deserve to wear our pack's ceremonial robes? You're not even worthy of being called an Alpha's daughter!" Father's words cut deeper than any wound."A mere 10 dollars could feed three omega pups for a week. How dare you waste our resources?" Mother's voice dripped with contempt."But mom, I'm tainted with black magic and I don't know how much longer I'll live. I just want to put on the ceremonial robes and attend a coming of age ceremony as well. ""Are you kidding me, our pack is very clean, how can we have black magic. "Mom got even angrier at my words, "Not only are you a worthless omega, but you're also a liar, why do I have a daughter like you. " She hung

I spent my last coins on basic pain-relieving herbs, swallowing several at once.But why did my heart still hurt so much? Why did I feel so cold inside?I dragged my weak body out of the healing center. Looking at the sky that was about to rain, I headed for my cave."Come on, come on, Vivian's birthday ceremony stage is unveiled, let's go check it out. " I was almost hit by two running cubs, their words piquing my curiosity.When I finally dragged my heavy legs up the hill, the sun came out.That's when I saw the massive crystal platform gleaming on the hillside, displaying Vivian's coming-of-age ceremony in all its glory.She stood in front of an eight-foot crystal cake, her ceremonial gown so beautiful, with a moon embroidered in gleaming gold thread, and stars set in diamonds that sparkled in the sunlight.I watched as she closed her eyes and folded her hands and made her wish."I wish for Father, Mother and I to be together forever, and for all sick wolves in our territory to heal

As I turned to leave, a group of young she-wolves surrounded me. The sound of their heels clicking against the marble floor echoed in my ears."Well, well, if it isn't the Alpha's shame," Janice, Vivian's closest friend, stepped forward. Her silver dress sparkled under the chandelier lights. "Where do you think you're going, omega?"My heart pounded as they circled me like predators."I was just leaving..." I whispered, trying to move past them."Leaving?" Janice's perfectly painted lips curled into a cruel smile. "You dare slack off during Miss Vivian's ceremony? The nerve of this one, girls!"I could smell the alcohol on their breath as they closed in."Look at how she's glaring at us!" Another wolf named Melissa grabbed my chin. "Should we teach this servant some manners?"Before I could react, Janice deliberately tilted her crystal glass. Dark red wine cascaded down my uniform."Oh my!" She gasped in mock horror. "Look what you made me do, you clumsy omega!"Her eyes gleamed with m

Finally, Mother couldn't take it anymore."We need to see her. Now." She paced the pack house living room. "I need to know she's okay."That's when they realized - they had no idea where I lived."How can we not know where our own daughter stays?" Mother's voice cracked.Vivian, who had been quietly watching, spoke up."I know where Sister lives." She smiled sweetly. "I can take you there."She led them to an expensive apartment complex in Pack Central Circle."Sister lives here?" Father looked surprised. "How can she afford this?"Vivian's smile turned mysterious. "Oh, she has her ways."The apartment door was unlocked.Inside, the place was a mess.Empty wine bottles littered the floor.Take-out containers and dirty clothes were scattered everywhere.Mother's eyes landed on a framed photo on the coffee table.It was us - Father, Mother, and me - from years ago, before everything changed.The glass was cracked.Then Mother saw something that made her blood run cold.Used condoms on th

At this time, Richard, the chief therapist of the treatment center, came, and his aversion was evident."Scarlett was such a strong fighter. Despite being ravaged by black magic, she never once cried out in pain. The corruption was still in early stages when we first found her. We begged her to start treatment, but she said she had no money and disappeared.""Treatment? What treatment? My daughter was perfectly healthy!" Father lunged forward to grab the healer.The healer stepped back, revulsion clear in his eyes."I've never seen such negligent parents. Your daughter's been dead for a year, and you didn't even know.""You want to know about Scarlett? Let me tell you exactly what happened to your daughter." The healer's voice was sharp with anger.He pulled up my medical records on his tablet."Black magic started corrupting her at age twelve - the exact same time your precious Vivian awakened her wolf. Coincidence?" He raised an eyebrow. "I think not."Mother's face went pale. "What

Beta Jack organized search parties to comb the pack's outskirts."Question every omega, every packless wolf," he ordered. "Someone must have seen her."Finally, an elderly omega named Sarah stepped forward.Her hands trembled as she spoke. "I guess... I knew Scarlett."Mother grabbed Sarah's hands. "Please, where is my daughter?"Sarah's eyes filled with tears as she led them to the farthest edge of pack territory.There, hidden among dead trees, was a tiny cave."This was her den," Sarah said softly. "I found her here many times, searching for food."Father's face went pale. "Den? My daughter lived in this... this hole?""She had nowhere else to go," Sarah's voice hardened. "No one would help an omega without a wolf."They entered the dark cave, the stench of death overwhelming them.Sarah's flashlight revealed my meager possessions:A thin blanket, stained with black magic corruption.My beloved wolf plushie, torn but clearly cherished.And dried blood spatters telling the story of m

Mother came home from the treatment center today.Father and Vivian were waiting at the entrance, playing the perfect family."Mom, I was so worried!" Vivian rushed forward, all concern. "You shouldn't get so upset. It's not good for your health."Father nodded sagely. "Sophia, you need to stay calm. Scarlett wasn't much of a fighter anyway.""She chose to leave home. We're still a family - nothing's changed."I watched Mother's face maintain its perfect mask.During dinner, she suddenly spoke up."Vivian, I've been wondering something.""Yes, Mom?" Vivian's smile was sweet as poison."How did you know Scarlett lived in that apartment? The superintendent said he'd never seen her there."Vivian's fork paused mid-bite."Oh, that? A friend mentioned it." She shrugged. "I guess the information wasn't accurate."Then her eyes glinted with cruelty."Though... maybe sister went there sometimes when she was desperate for food.""You know... to sell herself to male wolves.""The administrator wou

Two weeks after finding my diary, Mother met Jack in the moonflower clearing again.His face was grim."Lady Sophia, I found the guards who discovered Scarlett's body."Mother's hands clenched. "Tell me everything.""They said they called the pack house that night.""Vivian answered. Told them Scarlett was just a disgraced omega servant."Jack's voice shook with anger."She ordered them to throw the body back in the garbage."Mother's eyes flashed golden with rage."My daughter... she told them to throw my daughter in the trash?"But there was more.Jack pulled out a small crystal, glowing with stored memories."I found a witness. A young omega pup who saw everything.""Are you sure you want to see this?"Mother nodded, her face set like stone.The crystal activated, projecting the memory into the air.Dawn light filtered through trees.A small figure - Vivian - approached my den.She wasn't wearing her usual fine clothes.Just plain dark garments to blend with shadows.The memory show

Mother's revenge began in the pack dungeons.She brought out one final piece of evidence.A memory crystal I had never seen before.The crystal glowed, projecting a scene:Vivian hugging a woman in dark robes.The woman's face wrinkled and twisted by dark magic.But Father's reaction was unexpected."Daisy?" His voice cracked. "It can't be..."Mother's laugh was hollow."Oh, you recognize her, Lucian? Your precious first love?"Father fell to his knees."I knew Vivian looked like Daisy," Mother continued. "I even accepted it, pitied you enough to let you adopt her."Her eyes turned deadly."But you couldn't just love her as a daughter, could you?"Vivian tried to shrink into the corner.But Mother wasn't finished."Tell me, Vivian. Tell me about your mother."Silence.Mother's claws extended."Shall I help you remember?"Hours of torture followed. Until finally, Vivian broke."Yes! Daisy is my mother!" She screamed. "But not his daughter. Never his."The truth spilled out like poison."Daisy
