Chapter 1

Caleb marched over and shoved me into the prep area."Your wolf might be trash, but your arms and legs still work. If you can't even carry a tray, how will you survive doing Omega duties out on the border?"I looked up. A banner hung right above him.[May the Moon Goddess bless Chloe. The pride of our family. A bright future awaits.]Caleb hung it up himself this morning. Every word was packed with his love for her.I wanted to ask him something.If I got into the Lycan Academy, would he hang a banner for me?But before I could speak, my mother chimed in again."Harper, if anyone asks, lie. Tell them you work in the pack library. Do not mention the border camp. I can't afford the shame."She had said this at least ten times. She was terrified my failure would ruin her image.But she forgot the past. When Chloe first moved in, she saw me heal a dying pack member. Chloe immediately hugged my mom and bawled. "Harper is so amazing. Compared to her, I don't deserve to be in this family."Th

After the gala, we went home.My mother handed Chloe a velvet box."This is the deed to a luxury condo near Silvercrest. You'll need to make connections. If you need top-tier combat gear, just ask us."My father smiled warmly. He already talked to the local Alpha there. He made sure she had the safest private territory.Chloe hugged my mom tightly. "You guys are the best. I'm so lucky to be your daughter."She spotted me and turned back to my mom. "Harper is going to the border camp soon. Should I save the guest room for her?"My mom looked at her with pure adoration."You earned this reward. Why share it with her?" Then, her eyes turned ice-cold. She looked at me. "Harper, don't be jealous of Chloe. You've been a mess all these years. With your dead wolf, throwing you a party would just invite challenges from other families. Work hard when you get to camp. Don't expect the pack to feed a freeloader."Her tone was full of disgust. My chest tightened even more.I used to get tired of hi

The next morning, right after breakfast, Julian walked in.He was carrying two gift boxes. He handed the fancy one to Chloe."I forgot your gift yesterday. Here you go."Chloe took it happily. She opened the box to reveal a gorgeous Moonstone Pendant. It was extremely rare. Blessed with the Moon Goddess's power."It's so beautiful! Help me put it on, Julian."Their smiles were blindingly painful to look at.I opened my mouth. But I forced myself to stay quiet.I had seen that exact moonstone in a Witch's Jewelry Shop in the Royal Capital.Julian was in a good mood that day. He told me, "When you come of age, I'll buy it as your courting gift. You are my fated mate, after all."On results day, I wanted to tell him about my acceptance.But everyone was too busy partying for Chloe. She barely scraped into her academy. No one even asked about me.Even Julian assumed I was heading to the border camp. He even gave my promised necklace to Chloe.Julian clasped the necklace around Chloe's neck

Chapter 4

Chloe burst into terrified tears.Caleb was playing video games with his friends in the living room. He heard the noise and sprinted over.He shoved me away violently. He shielded Chloe on the floor."Chloe felt bad for Mom! She was just trying to help you clean! And you go crazy and try to choke her?!" Caleb roared."We spent all afternoon helping you. You don't even say thank you. Why are you bullying her?"Julian stepped up to defend her, too. He was still pale from the broken bond."What could possibly be important in your room? You're a cripple. You can't even feel your own wolf. Whatever was in that envelope was just trash!"He sneered. "You're just jealous Chloe got into an elite academy. You're using this as an excuse to go crazy."I stopped going to pack training just so Chloe wouldn't see me studying. I hung out with the lowest-ranking wolves to stay off her radar.Only at night did I dare to speak to my wolf. I practiced my healing energy in secret.I worked so hard for that

Chapter 5

Dead silence filled the room.Caleb’s fork dropped onto his plate with a sharp clatter.Chloe stared at the speakerphone, her eyes wide with disbelief.Mother shot to her feet, her chair scraping harshly against the floor."Impossible! Harper can't even manage a half-shift!"Father stared at the phone in suspicion, his voice trembling. "Sir, is there a mistake? Harper's wolf is practically dormant. How could she..."A cold sneer came from the other end."A mistake? You foolish High-Betas. You treated a genius—one that top medical academies across the North are fighting for—like a cripple!"The official's fury was loud and clear. "I'm sending you the footage of Harper's Awakening test right now!"Father's phone pinged.He opened the video with shaking hands. Everyone crowded around.In the footage, Harper's wolf radiated a pure, holy silver light. It was so intense the camera could barely capture it.Her healing resonance and flawless scent control left the senior healers in the room ab

Father’s eyes were red. He made calls like a madman."I need to know where Harper is! I don't care what it takes!"He called old friends. Then business partners. Finally, he went to the Pack Enforcers.Sitting in the enforcers' office, Father listened to the captain's cold voice."Harper is in the capital now. She has the highest level of protection from the Lycan Council." The captain didn't even look at him. "Forget about your family. Even the entire pack has no right to interfere with her freedom."Mother cried and begged. "Please, just help us contact Harper. We just want to say we're sorry..."The captain scoffed. "Regretting it now? Too late."The news spread faster than a wildfire.In less than two hours, the entire Northern elite circle knew. Harper, the girl from a High-Beta family, was a top-tier healing prodigy specially recruited by the supreme Lycan Healer Academy.Back at their estate, the phone wouldn't stop ringing.The elites who used to suck up to them were now mockin

Chapter 7

Two months later, the academy liaison contacted me."Harper, some wolves claiming to be your family have been waiting outside the capital's core zone for three days and nights. They aren't allowed in, but they've been begging on their knees to see you."I set down the advanced wolfsbane sample I was studying and wiped my hands."Put them in a border reception room. Just this once."To cut ties for good, I decided to see them one last time.I was reborn in the Academy.I no longer suppressed my wolf. I stopped using pungent herbs to mask my scent.My healing gift was unleashed like a blazing silver fire, shining brightly in the academy.With incredible healing powers and six years of hidden theoretical knowledge, I quickly solved several complex wolfsbane cases.The High Council even made me the personal apprentice of the Head Mentor.I wore the silver laurel-embroidered robes of a senior healer. I had the best resources and total respect.As for the endless calls from Mother on differe

After a brief silence, Caleb clenched his fists. With red eyes, he forced out a sentence:"I'm sorry! I was blind before. Can you please just talk to the Alpha and get our family's status back?"I scoffed, calling out their hypocrisy."You're only sorry because losing me cost you your privileges and pride. You don't feel guilty. If I was still a nobody today, you wouldn't even be here."Mother panicked and pulled his arm. "We came to apologize! Why are you yelling at your sister again?"I looked at their pathetic display and slowly shook my head.My eyes swept over my parents, then landed on a trembling Chloe."I will never forget the pain you caused me."Mother's legs gave out. She collapsed into Father's arms, her shoulders shaking as she cried."Harper, it's all my fault. When Chloe faked her feral shift, I was just so scared I lost my mind. That's why I treated you like that. It won't happen again...""Won't happen?" I sneered. "I'm never hiding my wolf for the sake of this family

Chapter 9

Seven years later. On the podium at the Northern Alliance Summit, I accepted the silver scepter of the Chief Grand Healer.Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.I became the youngest Chief Grand Healer in the history of the Lycan Council.I didn't just lead the development of a new wolfsbane antibody. I brought three dying werewolf packs back from the brink of extinction.Hundreds of Alpha elites and top healers bowed to me in deep respect.Alphas across all of the North submitted to my authority—exactly as I promised seven years ago.As for that pack in the North, they had long faded from my memory.Until one day, my assistant walked into my office with a call."Lady Harper, a man claiming to be your father says your mother is dying. He begs you to see her one last time."I didn't even look up. I kept working on my healing formula."Hang up.""But he said—""I said, hang up."My assistant did it immediately.But the phone kept ringing. Over and over again.I adjusted the glowin
