They Banished Me from the PackāNow They're Howling for Me Back
When my mind-link request had been ignored by my parents for the twentieth time, I went to the Werewolf Council, clutching the report on silver dust corrosion in my hand.
āHello. Iād like to renounce my pack identityāeffective immediately.ā
Ten minutes later, my parents burst in, dragging my adoptive younger sister, Elsa, with them, panic written all over their faces.
The door burst open with a bang, and my Beta father charged in like a storm. His fangs bared, claws twitching.
āYouāre nothing but a spoiled brat craving attention! Stop this pathetic act. Youāre an embarrassment to a Betaās name!ā
My mother, a forensic specialist for the pack, immediately snatched the report from my hand. After a brief glance, she let out a cold sneer.
āYou faked this report just to get our attention? Youāve been a liar since you were a pup.ā
Elsa clung to both of them, tears in her eyes as she sobbed, āIām sorry, Jenifer. Itās my fault for holding the shifting ritual. But please... donāt lie to our parents just to make them feel guilty!ā
Blood was still pouring from my nose, but I wiped it away calmly and stood tall before the werewolf councilors once more.
āI havenāt had a real family for a long time. Pleaseāremove all my personal records from the pack. I just donāt want my funeralāscheduled for three days from nowāto be delayed.ā
