After I replied to the email, I opened my bedroom door and walked out.At the dining table, my parents, Richard and Laura Hope, and my brother, Benjamin Hope, were helping my sister, Miranda Hope, compare her college offers."Miranda, you're amazing. That's what superior Beta blood looks like. You're so smart, and look at how many colleges admitted you. Which one do you want?" Benjamin gave her a thumbs-up, his voice full of pride."Oliver told me to pick a school near the North Lake Pack. He works nearby, so he can take better care of me. I'm going to do what he says."Miranda leaned shyly into Mom's arms.Then she seemed to remember something and pouted."It's just too bad. I can't believe Blackwood University, the most prestigious school in the Blackwood Pack, turned me down."Mom checked the distance, then stroked Miranda's hair."There's nothing to regret. It's more than 600 miles from home. That's far too far. I couldn't bear to let my little princess go that far."The university

Just as it was getting dark, I heard the front door open.Oliver hurried over and took all the bags from Mom and Dad.Miranda threw herself at him excitedly."Oliver, were you waiting for me to come back?"She hopped down and twirled around him."Mom just bought me this dress. Isn't it pretty?"She was wearing a brand-new Moon Goddess gown that made her look pure and beautiful.Oliver stared at her in awe."It's beautiful. You're the prettiest werewolf I've ever seen."Mom put everything away and was about to throw the shopping bag in the trash.Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted me, pulled her hand back, and came over."Daphne, this bag is sturdy. You can use it to pack your things for school."I took the bag she'd been about to throw away and thanked her.But her gesture left a cold, dull ache in my heart.Dad leaned back on the couch and gave me an approving look."You may be a slow, dull, low-ranking Omega wolf, but you really have saved us a lot of trouble over the years."

When I landed at Blackwood Airport, it had started to rain.I was about to make a run for it when someone held an umbrella over me.I looked up and found a strikingly handsome man holding it."Hi. I'm Conrad Hale, the future Alpha of the Blackwood Pack."He smiled."You must be Daphne. Welcome to Blackwood University. I'm an upperclassman there, and I came to pick you up."His car was right outside.He opened the car door for me and went to help with my suitcase, only to find I had nothing but a backpack.He must have found that strange, but he didn't say anything.During the drive, I barely spoke except to thank him. He smiled and tried to draw me into conversation. "Tonight's the Full Moon Festival. Why didn't you have dinner with your family before coming to school? You still would've made it in time."My face fell."They'll probably be happier without me around."Shock flashed across his face, followed almost at once by regret. He knew he had said the wrong thing."Sorry."I smiled

(Daphne's POV)I was truly happy during my first three months in the Blackwood Pack.No one here looked down on me for being a low-ranking Omega wolf.Just the opposite. They thought I was amazing for getting an A+ in every class.Conrad, the future Alpha and an upperclassman, often came to see me and show me around campus.When he learned I needed money for living expenses, he helped me find work-study jobs.I hadn't felt this happy or relaxed in years.One evening, I'd just gotten back to my dorm when my roommate suddenly grabbed my arm."Daphne, some people are making a scene at the main gate. I think they're your parents."She showed me a video. The people in it really were my family.My mom was holding up a poster with a single word written in huge letters: UNGRATEFUL.She stood at the gate, shouting."Daphne, we raised you all these years, and the minute you got into a top university, you blocked us."What did we ever do to you? Didn't we always do our best to give you whatever y

A year later, the Full Moon Festival came around again. Conrad invited me home to have dinner with his parents.As the car passed through the main gate, I saw Oliver kneeling outside.He'd lost a lot of weight.Since that day, he'd refused food and water and stayed outside, begging me to see him and forgive him.He kept going until he'd exhausted his wolf's healing power and his body finally gave out.His family came and took him away for treatment.But every time he woke up after treatment, he slipped out again and returned to the main gate to keep waiting.He said he'd spend the rest of his life repenting and begging for my forgiveness.After this happened again and again, his family finally gave up on him.Conrad noticed me watching Oliver outside."Do you want to stop and go see him?"I looked away and shook my head."No."The car soon arrived at Conrad's house.As soon as we arrived, his mother came out to greet us with a big smile."Daphne, you must be tired from the drive. I ma
