Novel & Cerita Family Drama Series

To them, the Quirks' family drama was like material for a sensational soap opera. Elderly parents mistreated their youngest daughter, who then suddenly married the eldest daughter's fiancé. Then, the dad strayed with a young flame, giving birth to a secret love child, while the mom fell for the hunk at the gym. It was a storyline ripe for a dramatic narrative. In the hands of a skilled scriptwriter, it could easily turn into a gripping saga spanning dozens or even hundreds of episodes, full of wealthy family drama and tangled emotions. With the storm of Wendy and Dan's unraveling marriage, their divorce proceedings were the start of next season’s events.

My sister Mia and I both had a crush on Alpha Felix. But Mia was sweet and knew exactly how to act cute. Felix only had eyes for her—just like our parents. Even when Mia and I competed for the position of Chief Beta, Felix chose her without a second thought. So, I left the pack in a fit of anger, determined to make a name for myself. Six years later, I became the strongest female Alpha in North America, leading the Crimson Pack. But my family and Felix knew none of this. That is, until I heard that Felix’s Crescent Pack was facing a severe financial crisis and desperately needed a powerful ally to survive. I looked at my schedule and let out a soft smirk.

“Neither Damon Smith nor his representatives have commented. But sources close to the family describe the incident as ‘deeply concerning.’ More as the story develops.” Mya groaned and grabbed the remote. She clicked the TV off before the word concerning could loop in her brain any longer. She pressed the remote against her forehead, as though the cool plastic could block the irritation, could keep the heat rising in her chest from spilling over. Her pulse still raced. The last thing she needed was another narrative about her life being spun into headlines. She was tired of being Damon’s wife, Damon’s ex-wife, the pitiful woman who walked away with nothing. Every time she turned on a screen,

Emma clung to our mother, sobbing, “Mom, Sophia’s been dead for years! I’m your only daughter!” Our mother wrenched her hand free. Her eyes were cold. “What did you just say? You’re nothing but an abandoned baby I picked up at a refugee camp! I took you in and fed you, yet you actually think you're a lady of this house?” Emma’s face went blank with shock. For the first time in ten years, our mother had torn off the mask. Our father's voice rose, trembling with rage. “You’re just a stand-in. You’ll never be Sophia. Chief, we want a test. We demand a bloodline test!”

I closed my eyes. “This is Mr. Dunphy, my divorce attorney. Here are our prenuptial agreement and the DNA test results. Take a good look. I don’t believe for a second that you don’t know anything.”

"Don't blame Connie, Mom. It's my fault. I have caused you so much trouble. I shouldn't have taken the coat from her…" Before she finished, Dad grabbed me and slammed me to the ground. He roared, "A cold-blooded thing like you doesn't deserve to live in this loving family!" I cried and begged him to stop. But the more I cried, the more he was convinced that I felt no remorse. His claws landed harder and harder. Mom and Nathan stood at a distance, their faces indifferent. It was as if I weren't part of the family, just a filthy rogue they didn't recognize.

After hearing Mom’s words, Nathan recoiled from me as if I carried a plague. Turning to the other media and bystanders, he raised his voice. "This is a family matter. We shouldn’t interfere. Her parents and husband are all OB-GYNs. Three doctors wouldn’t misdiagnose the fetus together. And if there really were an issue, the police would’ve resolved it at the station already. We’re talking about an unborn child here. Don’t stir up gossip or feed on someone’s tragedy." With that, he waved for his team to leave. His parting glance at me was laced with pure loathing.

Sisters. Family.

College is looming closer, and the fear I won’t get accepted and my mom will get disappointed in me eats inside me every day. Dane avoiding me, ignoring me, and treating me like a disease he might contract if I get close. Dane causing so much shit and ruining what little of a family I have, and living in an atmosphere that’s suffocating. Even if it’s dysfunctional, it’s still all I have after losing everything…. and now this….
