Trusting the Omega's Daughter was a Mistake

I was caught red-handed for something I never did. All the evidence pointed to me, and now Ruby was crying hysterically in front of my brother, Tobias. This wasn’t the first time either. Ruby had pulled this stunt so many times before, and every time, my brother believed her and punished me.

Since we were little, I had noticed Ruby’s jealous demeanor, especially over the toys and dresses I was fortunate to have. As the daughter of Arthur, the late Silver Howl Pack’s Beta, our family was undeniably wealthy. Tobias and I always had our needs and wants fulfilled.

Ruby, on the other hand, grew up with much less. Her late father was a pack warrior, while her late mother was demoted to an Omega for reasons I never knew. It left Ruby without the luxuries we enjoyed.

Despite all the things I’ve shared with her over the years, treating her like my own sister, Ruby seems to harbor an inexplicable hatred for me. As a child, I was blind to it, but now, it’s as clear as day.

“Did you really have to ruin her gown? Are you that desperate for attention?” Tobias shouted in my face, his voice sharp and unforgiving. Then, with a quick shift, he turned to Ruby, his tone softening instantly. “Don’t worry, Ruby. I’ll get the best seamstress to fix it. I won’t let this jealous girl ruin your special day.” With those words, he glanced back at me, grabbed the scissors, and cut into the old dress I was wearing.

Now, I stood there, feeling utterly exposed—like a rag, helpless and ugly. I wanted to defend myself, but as I've said, this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. I knew all too well that trying to speak up would be pointless.

Days passed, and soon, Ruby’s eighteenth birthday arrived. It was indeed a night that will be remembered. The banquet hall was adorned with shimmering chandeliers and lavish decorations, setting a majestic ambiance for the evening. High-ranking members of the pack, including Alpha Diosdado, Karl—the Alpha’s son, the council, and elite warriors, graced the event with their presence. Everyone was dressed in elegant gowns, sharp suits, and stylish hats.

The air was thick with admiration and reverence. Ruby herself was breathtaking, dressed in an exquisite gown that enhanced her beauty. Her confidence lit up the room, and every eye was on her as she moved gracefully through the crowd.

Looking at my brother Tobias, I could see the happiness radiating from him, knowing he had made Ruby’s dream birthday a reality.

The celebration was grand, and I was forbidden from attending it. Ruby had imposed this punishment on me for ruining her gown, fearing that I might sabotage her birthday once more. My brother supported her decision, confining me to my room, even locking the door from the outside. He then told everyone that I was severely sick to attend.

Now, from my window, I watched the lavish party unfold below, observing how they enjoyed the night without me.

It hurt, but I kept telling myself it was alright. Deep down, I believed that when the time was right, things would turn in my favor.

As the celebration continued, exactly at midnight, Ruby transformed into a magnificent brown wolf. The crowd gasped as it was revealed that her fated mate was none other than Karl, the son of Alpha Diosdado. From my vantage point, I could see the pride beaming from Ruby.

I felt her mind-link snap into my thoughts moments later. “The Alpha’s son is my fated mate, Scarlet. He’ll be the next Alpha. Do you know what that means?”

“What?” I replied, already sensing the malice in her voice.

“I’ll be the Luna of this pack soon. And with that power, I’ll finally be able to exile you. Damn, Scarlet, your disappearance is something I’ve always dreamed of.” She ended the link with a cold, sinister laugh, her words dripping with venom.
