Chapter 1

After hearing me clearly, the old wolf asked in surprise and pity, "Why would you come to apply for this? Where are your parents?""They... have something to take care of," I said."Even so, they must be called here," he said.Not long after, my parents rushed in with Clover.The first thing my father did when he saw me was slap me across the face. The force of the blow sent me staggering backward."I can't believe you actually dragged your act all the way to Elder Silverfang just to ruin Clover's Awakening Rite?!""No... I didn't..." The metallic taste of blood burst in my mouth, and tears blurred my vision.My mother snatched the diagnosis from my hands."Wolf Decay?" With just a quick glance, she sneered and ripped it into shreds. "You forged something like this out of sheer jealousy of your sister? Have you no shame?!"The torn paper fell around my feet like snowflakes. I looked at her, my voice trembling. "Mom, why won't you ever believe me...""Do you even need to ask?!" Her voic

Even so, I made my way back home one last time.I wanted to clear out my belongings while I could still move.That way, when my wolf dispersed in three days, my parents wouldn't complain about my leftover trash taking up space.My room was the smallest in the entire Blackthorn manor. Originally, it was a storage room used to keep hunting gear and odds and ends. The butler had cleared out half of it just to squeeze in a small single bed.So when I actually started packing, I realized I barely had anything worth taking.My possessions were pitifully scarce: a few faded clothes and worn-out shoes, a handful of battered books, and a couple of expired cosmetics that were nearly empty.No one could have imagined that the biological daughter of a Beta would live in a place like this, while his adopted daughter had a walk-in closet alone that was four times the size of my entire room, overflowing with gifts, exquisite jewelry, and high-end cosmetics.Even the scraps Clover didn't want, which w

I froze for a moment, thinking that finally, at least one wolf knew the truth.Yet in the very next second, his face darkened into a look of sheer disgust."Amelia, how much longer are you going to keep up this pathetic act?!""Just to ruin Clover's Awakening Rite, you ran to the Elder to apply for a death certificate, and now you're secretly inquiring about a burial plot?""Do you have any idea that the entire BloodMoon Pack is laughing at the Blackthorn family right now?!"I stared at him in dazed silence.He stepped closer, his voice laced with cold accusation. "Clover was so worried about you that she cried the whole way back! She said she'd rather forfeit the Moon Goddess's blessing if it meant making you happy!""That was her precious coming-of-age ceremony! Do you know how long we prepared for it?! And you ruined it just like that!""If her parents hadn't died when she was little, she wouldn't have had to live under someone else's roof and get bullied by you! Why can't you just

My voice cracked into an uncontrollable sob."My eighteenth birthday was my first time, too... Yet you three didn't even give me a single blessing. You wouldn't even spare a minute to listen to me."For a fleeting second, Dylan's expression softened, but his hesitation was quickly swallowed up by sheer impatience."So what? Do you have to cause a scene today of all days?""Clover was supposed to complete her ceremony with joy. If you hadn't thrown your selfish fit, she wouldn't have ended up in tears like that.""Why do you always have to be so petty over every little thing when everyone else is worried sick about Clover?"Just then, Father's stern voice cut through the air as he walked over, accompanied by Mother and Clover."Amelia. You made us the laughingstock of the pack today, and now you're trying to play the victim using your birthday?" His voice turned colder by the second. "Do you have any idea that because of what you did today, Clover cried so hard she almost passed out, al

Chapter 5

It was completely absurd.Back then, she had just been brought back to our home. I had secretly learned baking from the best cook in our pack, all because she had pouted and told me that what she missed most was the raspberry cake her mother used to make.I picked a full basket of wild raspberries by myself, my hands bloodied by prickly branches, my skin covered in blisters from the hot oven.Yet after taking her very first bite, Clover collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air and convulsing violently.I burst into tears of terror.My parents carried her frantically to the Silver Spring, and afterward, they flew into a rage at me."Didn't we tell you she's far more fragile than ordinary pups?! Why did you feed her these filthy wild things from the forest?!"I shook my head desperately. "Mom, Dad, I really didn't know! She said she wanted it... I washed them so carefully, they weren't filthy..."But they didn't care to listen. Under the charge of "harming a pack member," they locked me

So it was that incident again.I no longer had the strength to explain. After all, I had cried and screamed explanations a thousand times before, and the only answer I ever received was solitary confinement.Father glared at me, the disgust in his eyes entirely unhidden."If I knew you would turn out like this, I never should have kept you by my side back then.""Go to the confinement room and reflect on yourself! No food for you today!"I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and let out a faint smile. "There's no need to trouble yourself."I went to my room and grabbed the small bundle I had packed earlier. Mother glanced at what I was holding, seemingly surprised that I was actually leaving. "We just scolded you a little, and you're going to run away from home over this?"Father's expression had already turned icy cold. "Since you've always felt we were partial, then don't stay here another minute!""I'd love to see if you can still live as comfortably as you do now once you l

Still, I bit my lip, forcing my heavy, leaden feet to keep moving forward step by step.It wasn't until the brightly lit mansion had completely vanished behind me that I finally stopped. I used the tiny bit of money I had left to rent a room in the cheapest, most run-down inn I could find.That night, lying on the narrow bed, I curled myself into a tight ball.In the endless stretch of darkness, my mind drifted back to my puphood.Before Clover ever came to the family, I had been my parents' most cherished daughter.Back then, Father was still just a young Gamma warrior in the pack, and Mother had only recently become a junior healer.They often had to march out with the pack's war parties, gone for weeks or months at a time, leaving them with no energy or time to care for me as a tiny pup.After wrestling with the decision for a long time, crying over me for a whole day, they finally delivered me to my grandmother's cabin in the valley.They swore to me that they would come back for m

Everyone respectfully withdrew. She turned around to face me."You didn't actually think I came here to bring you food and money, did you?"Without warning, she reached out and swiped the piece of bread I had just warmed from my hand, sending it rolling directly into the fireplace ashes.Seeing her finally tear away her facade, a strange sense of calm settled over me. "Why? I've never been anything but good to you. Why go to such lengths to destroy me?"Clover's expression turned hysterical, the burning jealousy in her eyes no longer concealed. "Because I hate you! From the very first day you returned to the Blackthorn family, I hated you!""Why is it that even though you did nothing, you still get their love?! So what if they spoil me and treat me like their own daughter? As long as you're alive, the true heir of the Blackthorn family will always be you!""So I had no choice but to turn you into someone they despise. As long as you're out of the picture, I am the only daughter of the

Chapter 9

On the morning of my final day of life, I walked along the mountain paths for a long time, until the sky had darkened before I finally reached my destination.Back when I wanted to please Clover, I had gone to Martha, the best cook in our pack, to learn how to bake a Wolfheart Cake.She was in charge of cooking for the training grounds, and in her spare time, she taught me how to bake.Back then, my whipped cream would always fail, and my baked cakes were either sunken or hard as a rock.Yet Martha never made fun of me. She patiently taught me step-by-step how to mix the batter and control the oven temperature. When I finally baked a perfect cake, we were both thrilled beyond words.Later on, when I was often bullied and left to go hungry, she would always give me food. I desperately wished I had a mother like her.But not long after, Martha left.I heard that her daughter, Emma, ended up jumping into the river to commit suicide. From then on, Martha quit being a cook and lived alone i

Chapter 10

Inside the Blackthorn family manor, Father and Mother sat together in the main hall, staring down at a cell phone in paralyzed silence.The video had finally played to its very end.On the screen, Clover's expression was twisted as she spoke those vicious, venomous words with her own mouth, even raising her hand to deliver a harsh slap right across Amelia's face.Yet Mother's immediate reaction was to knit her brows tightly in disbelief."Impossible... Clover has been terrified of stepping on a bug ever since she was little. How could she possibly do something like this?"Father's face turned rigid and pale as he called Dylan on the spot. "Find someone to verify the authenticity of this video immediately! See if it was forged or if they hired a body double to act it out! Also, look into whether Amelia's wolf decay is real!"Before long, Dylan rushed back into the house, his expression heavy."Dad, Mom... I just had someone confirm it. The video is real.""I also sent people to check wi
