Semua Bab Alpha Family’s Regret After Omega Daughter Died: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The family sat around the fireplace and listened to Daniel tell the story of the blood wolf he'd faced in the heir's trials.Vivian glanced down at her tablet. "Why is the line showing her vitals still flat? Daniel, could something be wrong with the sensor?"Daniel scoffed. "No chance. That equipment has an error rate of less than a tenth of a percent. The flatter the line is, the more likely it is that her body is pouring everything it has into the wolf.""I can't even smell Chloe anymore." My mother frowned and looked up the stairs."Cold dulls scent," Daniel reassured her. "When I went through this at twelve, I slept in my room all night. By morning, my wolf had awakened.""But you and Vivian come from the strongest Alpha line there is. Chloe..."Vivian considered that. "She just hasn't been pushed to the threshold yet. Mom, we're doing all of this so nobody gets to push her around later."My mother went quiet.She had been at a pack gathering once and overheard what people said whe

Half an hour passed, and the monitor still showed a flat line.Vivian kept refreshing the terminal, and for the first time, her confidence began to crack."Daniel, why did the room temperature reading turn red? Why is it showing a question mark?""It's been holding at the setpoint this whole time, hasn't it?""It's probably the snow outside. There's no way the room temperature hasn't changed at all."Daniel took the tablet and quickly scrolled through the back-end logs.A line of red text flashed across the screen: [Temperature sensor offline. Current reading is the last cached value.]The hallway went quiet.The color drained from Vivian's face all at once.She crouched and pressed her palm flat over the gap beneath the door.White frost was creeping through the gap from the other side."Daniel, open the door." Her voice began to shake. "The temperature in there could have been below the safety threshold for hours."Daniel went still, his hand on the terminal.He had seen the frost to

The pack medical team and Enforcer Rourke arrived and sealed off the room.After inspecting my body, the medical examiner collected the blue pill bottle and the emergency bracelet."The cause of death is organ failure from prolonged exposure to cold."She pulled up the room's back-end log. "The trial was set to run for forty minutes, with a safety cutoff of minus forty-two degrees. After the central heating and thermal barrier both failed, the room's temperature dropped below minus one hundred twenty-two degrees. Then the sensor went offline, so there's no way to determine the final temperature."My mother swayed on her feet.The medical examiner went on. "The system issued three stop alarms. After the first, Daniel manually extended the trial. After the second, he switched off the audio alert. By the third, the temperature sensor was already offline."Rourke turned sharply toward Daniel. "Why didn't you go in and check?"Daniel's lips had turned white. "Because when my wolf awakened a

By the next day, the story had spread across every territory."Strongest Alpha Bloodline Ran Awakening Experiments on Underage Omega Daughter" was the top headline on every platform.Reporters and furious pack members filled the road outside the Mercer estate."She was fifteen!""Isn't an Omega still their child?""Were you trying to help her, or could you just not stand having somebody ordinary in the house?"The Council seized the estate and the lab, and all the auction proceeds went toward protecting underage Omegas and helping victims of such experiments.Overnight, the Mercer crest vanished from the Alpha council chamber where my father had served for years.The Omega aid program my mother used to run issued a public statement cutting ties with her.People who used to fawn over my parents now pulled their own children back behind them at the sight of either one.Nobody was going to trust an Alpha and a Luna who couldn't keep their own daughter alive.Before Daniel and Vivian were

Five years later, my parents, who had once had everything, lived in a remote coastal town.My father had lost his position as Alpha and every asset he owned. Hauling cargo at the docks was the only work left to him.His once-straight back was now stooped, and his hands were rough and deeply cracked.My mother's hair had gone white.She sat by the window every day, sewing one cashmere blanket after another, but she no longer had a daughter to wrap in any of them.She offered every blanket she finished to the Omega children in town.Before offering each one, she stitched my name into a corner.The town knew who they were. Nobody wanted kindness that had come this late.So my mother folded the blankets into a neat stack by the door and sat beside them all night.On the fifteenth of every month, they carried the old blanket and the moonstone wolf onto the first bus out to see me.My father knelt at the headstone and wiped the dust off it carefully."Chloe, Dad brought the pendant."He gent
