Chapter 51: Cousins arrival

It had been a year since Lucille began her sentence in Edward's house, and for the most part, it had become quieter, calmer. If not for the invisible chain disguised as servitude that tied her to the estate, it could have almost felt like she was free.Edward hadn’t been home for two months now. The house, once echoing with his presence, had become silent in his absence. After his apology that day, the tension between them had losened. He smiled at her, ask after her wellbeing whenever they crossed path.The hate she had for him had become to dispel. And she wouldn't mind if they worked out things again.As for her servitude, Edward had met some persons, and was told the punishment couldn't be averted, instead, he should use the opportunity to strengthen their bond I'd he wished to do so.Lucille had found peace, and freedom. She could leave the house and return anytime she wishes, no one would question her, but what she hadn't agreed to do, was to sleep out of Edward's house.She ha

Chapter 52: Family torment

Georgina left and returned minutes later, holding a crumpled sheet of paper. The cousins examined it like it was a battle plan.“Perfect,” Marcellus muttered. “Time to restore some order.”Lucille was in the kitchen when Georgina approached, her eyes wide with concern.“They asked for the list,” Georgina whispered.Lucille paused, her hands frozen mid-task. “What list?”“Your original duty list. The one Edward signed.”Lucille shook her head slowly. “No, that’s old. He canceled those chores himself.”“I told them that, but they claimed Edward instructed them to start using it again,” Georgina said, clearly worried. “I don’t believe them, Lucille.”Lucille blinked in confusion. “You don’t believe them?” she whispered. “Can they even act without Edward’s order?”Georgina shrugged, frustration on her face. “Those people are unpredictable. They’ll do whatever they want.”“Did Edward say anything to you?” Lucille pressed.“No! He didn’t,” Georgina spat. “In fact, I asked to speak to him di

Chapter 53: She collapsed again

That night, Ophelia brought Lucille a bowl of warm soup.“Please eat this before someone sees me,” she whispered.“Thanks,” Lucille said softly.Ophelia sat next to her. “I really thought it was over. These Elites... you never know what they’ll do.”Lucille didn’t respond. She just kept sipping the soup.Ophelia fidgeted with her hands, looking nervous.Lucille noticed her worried face. “Don’t stress too much. Five years will be over before you know it. I’ve already made it through more than one.”But Ophelia still looked troubled. Lucille could tell something else was bothering her.“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” she asked.Ophelia paused, then took a deep breath. “I just found out… your mom’s been sick for a while.”Lucille blinked in shock. “Wait, what? What do you mean sick?” Her heart started racing.“I mean she’s been unwell for some time. But your brother didn’t want to tell you. He was scared you’d worry too much or try to come back.”Lucille’s chest felt tight. She shi

Chapter 54: Stabbed

"She fainted!" Georgina screamed, running out. Ophelia followed behind her."Call him!" Georgina who had rushed over to Lucille's motionless body motioned on Ophelia.Swiftly, Ophelia ran into the main house and soon returned with the four cousins.The moment their gazes landed on Lucille, Marcellus’s face went pale. "Get water! Quick!""Lucille! Lucille!" Ophelia shook her, her eyes full of tears.Ophelia rose to her feet, stormed toward Marcellus who was in panic. She held his collar, shaking him. "You killed her! Wicked thing!" "All the Elites are evil! You all deserve to rot!" Ophelia shrielled.Arabella stepped backward, and in a flash disappeared into the house.Ophelia left Marcellus, rushed to Lucille again, and knelt beside her. "Don't do this please," she broke into a deep sob One of the guards returned with a bucket of water. Georgina took it from him, and sprinkled some on Lucille's face. She stirred, coughing."Lucille?" Georgina held her head. "Can you hear me?""Thank

Chapter 55: He defended her

Dannie staggered slightly, gripping the wound, blood trickling through his fingers.Blood rushed out fast. The room went completely silent. Everyone stared at Dannie’s bleeding arm in shock. Arabella stepped back slowly until she hit the wall. Her hands were shaking, and the bloody knife fell from her grip to the floor.“Arabella!” Edward shouted and rushed over to Dannie, who was holding his arm tightly to stop the bleeding.“Get the car! We need to go to the hospital!” Edward yelled to no one in particular.Georgina ran in with the first aid kit. “Use this first, sir!”Edward quickly grabbed it, but instead of using the bandages, he tore off his shirt and wrapped the cloth tightly around Dannie’s wound. Then he carefully helped him out of the room and into the car, which was already running. They sped off to the hospital.In the Jones living room, chaos had started again.“How could that omega girl do this?” the High Councilor, Edward's father, shouted angrily.Arabella stood in a c

Chapter 56: Apology

He walked in slowly. It was his first time in her small room. There was just a plain bed, a chair, and a little table. Nothing special. He sat on the edge of the bed.Lucille sat at the other end, watching him with a blank expression.Edward looked at her. "I didn’t know they were hurting you. I didn’t know you fainted. Georgina told me when I came back. I’m sorry."Lucille didn’t say anything.He kept talking. "Yes, I sent that video. But it was meant for my staff at the office, for my secretary. I didn’t know they would use it to hurt you, I swear."Still, she said nothing."I kicked them out," he added. "They’re gone now."Lucille stared at him for a long time. When she finally spoke, her voice was quiet."That doesn’t change anything."Edward’s shoulders sank. "Lucille—""I’m your slave. Your family hates me," she said calmly. "And they always will. They think I’m not good enough to be here. That I don’t belong.""That’s not true. You're not my slave.""It is true," she replied. "

Chapter 57: The Campaign

The election was only two weeks away, and the kingdom buzzed with activity. Campaign posters flapped in the wind, flags waved from tall poles, and howls echoed across the land. But even during this time meant for unity and change, the deep lines between the elites and the omegas were clearer than ever.In the heart of the capital, the elites held their campaign in the developed part of the city. Smooth, clean roads glistened under the morning sun. Tall buildings framed the streets, their glass windows reflecting the banners of elite candidates. Most elites were in human form, dressed in fancy suits and elegant dresses. Some strolled proudly in their majestic wolf forms, their fur brushed and glimmering, collars polished like jewelry.Music played from speakers mounted on luxurious black vans. Supporters clapped, laughed, and cheered, waving placards with bold words:"Vote Williams Jones! A Stronger Future!" or "Progress with Power!"A stage had been built in the middle of the avenue

Chapter 58: Crossroads

Mitch Jones paced back and forth in his office, hands buried deep in the pockets of his coat. The late afternoon sun filtered through the tall windows, casting long shadows on the polished wooden floor. His office was quiet except for the distant hum of campaign noise outside. But inside, everything felt loud. His thoughts, his doubts, and his racing heart.Sitting on the edge of the leather couch was Daryl Greene, an old friend and fellow member of the Tribunal Council. Daryl looked uneasy, as if he had wrestled with himself for days before finally deciding to come here."Mitch," Daryl said at last, breaking the silence. "I didn't come here to gossip. This is serious. They're planning to remove you."Mitch stopped pacing and turned slowly, brows furrowed. "I heard you the first time. The Tribunal Council. Right?"Daryl nodded. "Yes. The Executives have already had meetings without you. It’s all about your decision during that omega's trial. They think you’re too independent. Too stu

Chapter 59: Mabel returns

Edward Jones sat in his office, a sleek space newly furnished. A thick carpet lined the floor, and polished bookshelves filled with law books and ancient scrolls stood proudly behind his desk. A massive painting of the tribunal chamber hung on one wall, a bold reminder of where he was headed, straight into the tribunal council.He stared at the plaque that had just been delivered: EDWARD JONES; TRIBUNAL COUNCIL MEMBERS.He hadn’t even officially been sworn in, yet his office looked like a place of power already.Mark, his best friend from college, leaned against the polished desk with a broad grin on his face. “Man, look at this place!” he laughed. “You’re living the dream, Ed.”Edward gave him a small smile. “It’s still hard to believe.”“You shouldn’t be surprised,” Mark said, walking around the office. “Two years after university and boom, you’re replacing your cousin in the tribunal. That’s a big deal. People stay ten, fifteen years in the political system before they even sniff

Chapter 60: Unexpected voting process

The sun rose slowly over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the dry fields of the lower districts. It was election day, and the atmosphere was tense.Everyone knew this was not just a normal election. It was a day that could change everything. Or, as many feared, it could change nothing at all.Lucille stood by the narrow window of Ophelia's room, watching the quiet streets come to life. She had barely slept. Her thoughts were heavy. Her heart even heavier.Behind her, Ophelia tied her hair into a low braid, humming softly to keep herself calm."Are you okay?" Lucille asked, still facing the window.Ophelia paused. "I’m not sure. It’s hard to feel anything today except a quiet kind of dread."Lucille turned. "Do you think, things will be different this time?"Ophelia gave a short laugh, shaking her head. "When have they ever been? The executives pick their candidates, and we march in and vote like good little sheep."Lucille crossed her arms. "And if you don’t?"Ophelia’s voice
