Back then, I used to cry silently under the covers, heartbroken by how unfair it all was. But I didn’t even have the courage to complain to my father. Because I knew–even if I worked up the nerve to speak, I wouldn’t get justice. All I’d receive was deeper disappointment and his unwavering favoritism toward Bailey.
That dagger? Not only would I never get it back, I’d probably be scolded for being “petty” or “jealous of my sister.”
But it’s fine. It really is.
Everything they ever stole from me—every last thing they crushed beneath their heels–I’ll make sure they experience it all for themselves. Exactly. One. By. One.
And this pain? This is just the beginning.
I cast one final glance at Bailey’s unconscious body lying in that mess, then turned and walked away without a second thought.
Aurelia’s POV
“What?! My sweet Bailey! Who hurt her?!”
When I got the call from a servant at home, it hit me like lightning. How could Bailey have been poisoned with wolfsbane? She’s a beta warrior! But over the phone, the servant was vague and hesitant. Once I learned Jax wasn’t home, I rushed back to the Mary family estate in secret–bringing a wolf healer with me.
After treatment, Bailey finally woke up. The moment she saw me, tears streamed down her face.
“Mom, it hurts so bad…”
My heart shattered at the sight. I pulled her into my arms. “I know. Tell me who did this. I’ll make them pay.”
“It was that bitch Aubrey, Mom! She found out–she knows Mariana and I drugged her to make the alphas hate her!” Bailey hissed, full of rage. “So this time it must’ve been her–she’s the one who drugged you and forced you into heat!”
“Shh!” My own daughter calling out that humiliating ‘heat‘ scandal so bluntly–it was worse than being stripped naked in public. “Keep your voice down!”
“Why are you scared, Mom?” Bailey snapped. “She’s the one in the wrong, not you! You didn’t go into heat on purpose! You’re the victim!”
“Okay, okay, I get it…” I quickly changed the subject. “Now tell me more about your injury. How did an Omega like Aubrey even manage to hurt you?”
Bailey recounted everything that had happened–then suddenly paused. Her hand clutched mine in alarm.
“Mom… that bitch hasn’t been eating at home for a while now. What if… what if she’s awakened her wolf? How else could she move and fight like that?!”
Awakened her wolf?

My heart skipped a beat. A chill surged from my feet straight to my skull.

I knew exactly who Aubrey’s mother was—that woman had been a rare and terrifying Alpha–class werewolf, immensely powerful. If Aubrey had inherited oven a sliver of that bloodline… if she really had awakened…
Then she’d be an Alpha. A full–fledged Alpha.
An Alpha–level enemy? That would spell disaster.
No… impossible!
I forced myself to calm down, scrambling through every detail I knew about Aubrey. There wasn’t even the faintest trace of wolf aura in her. Not a single hint. She was still a pure Omega–that much was certain.
Even so, an uneasy feeling crept over me. Aubrey was slipping out of control–and I needed to act fast to put things back in order. That girl… she was only ever meant to be a lowly, worthless Omega.
I patted my daughter’s shoulder and instructed, “Bailey, invite a few of your classmates and friends over tomorrow. I’ll have Jimmy destroy her completely–and make sure everyone sees it, including your father.”
