I am the Alpha's daughter, and a tattoo artist. But my life is torture, thanks to my stepmother Luna Ann. The silver lining is - I’ll be 18 soon, and I’m ready for a runaway. Yet with Alec, the future Alpha from another pack, things start to take a turn… SLAM！ I stagger. That hurts much. “How dare you disrespect me!” Luna Ann shriek. So even me coming home is disrespect now. Losing grip, I return the hit. For the first time. She fall, crying. A show for Dad, but it works. “Kris!” Dad growls. “I’m done being a doormat just cuz I look like mom!” My voice cracks. “For once, can you be my dad?” “I’m always here for you, but…” Empty words again. “Just leave me alone.” I straddle onto my motorcycle, and leave for school. I'm lost in my tattoo sketch on the school lawn when our future Beta Ace approaches. “F-”, I yell as he taps my shoulder. His eyes examine my lips. It makes me slightly uncomfortable but loved as well. “You okay?” “Always am.” “Kristen.” he is serious now. “What do you want me to say? Couldn’t be better?” Ace reaches over and takes my hand. “I wish I could take your pain away.” It's too intimate. “Come my 18th birthday, I'm gone.” I steer the subject away. “What if your mate is here?” “He better like travel then.” “What if he can’t travel?” He means himself. Once he turns 18, he’ll be away for the Beta training. “I’ll send postcards.” I shrug and retrieve my hand when I feel eyes on me. It's Alec, the Alpha from another pack. He came to my tattoo shop yesterday and book one tonight. Angela is clinging to him, yet his eyes stay on me. I don't want to admit it, but I feel sparks. Avoiding his eyes, I get up from the lawn, and drag Ace away for classes. Night falls. Alec brings his future Beta Jasper to my studio. They notice my bruise but don’t say much. I start working right away. My friend Emmy comes, too, inviting me to the club for a change of mood. I shrug, “I haven't got punished by my dad so ok.” “Punished for what?” Jasper’s eyes narrow. “She hit…” “Emmy!” I yell. “Tell me.” Jasper grabs Emmy’s chin softly, staring into her eyes. She is powerless, “Luna Ann.” Jasper shocked. Alec silent, comforting me with his tender eyes. Emmy then go to change, while Jasper’s gaze weirdly follows her. “Hey?” I ask. Alec curious, too,“Dude?” “How old is Emmy?” “18.” "I’ll be 18 tomorrow." Jasper frowned. " I feel she is my mate." Alec and I are stunned, our jaws dropping to the floor.

“D\*mn, girl. You’ve got me hard.” Ace, our future Beta, dug his fingers into my h-ps, grinding me against him. But then I felt it—a searing, possessive gaze burning across the dance floor. My head snapped up. Alpha Alec, heir to a rival pack, who had me pinned against the wall of my tattoo shop last night, whispering dirty promises as he made me his... I'm Alpha's daughter, a genius tattoo artist, and the abused. I plan to escape once I turn 18. Then, Alec, the future Alpha of another pack, swept into my life with forbidden allure. SLAP! A hard one across my face. I staggered a little. “Stupid girl! Show some respect!” Stepmother Luna Ann shrieked. All I did was walk in the door! It meant disrespect now? Losing control, I returned the slap. She faked the fall to the ground, crying. “WHAT IS GOING IN HERE?” Dad showed up and roared. I knew I was in trouble but... “I literally walked in and she slapped me!” I ranted. Blood dripping from my split lip. “But you can’t hit Ann.” Dad started. “For once, can you just be my dad?” I snarled, tears running down. “Kris, you know I love you.” Disappointed, I ran up to my room and slammed the door. Two weeks left! Come my 18th birthday, I am gone! Forever! The next day, my twin brother Colt came to me. “Don't try and stop me. I'll still leave here at 18.” I said. “Running away isn’t the answer.” “You won’t be Alpha for another 7 years to stop the physical hits.” I sighed. “What if your mate is here?” Colt was trying his best. “I hope he will like to travel with me.” He said nothing. Tattoo Shop I was just printing Alpha Alec's tattoo drawing. “Hello.” Speaking of the devil, the hot guy walked in. Somehow, Alec's eyes instantly lit up with anger. He touched my lip, full of concern and feelings. ”Who did that?” “Nothing.” I changed the subject, “How old are you?” “Turned 18 last month.” “No mate yet?” “Nope. Still looking.” Right on cue, my best friend Emmy walked in, following with Alec's future Beta, Jasper. “What happened to your lip?” Jasper also asked me. “She slapped her...” “Emmy! Shut up!” I yelled. “Tell me.” Jasper grabbed Emmy's chin softly and made her look at him. Emmy was powerless, “Luna Ann.” Both Alec and Jasper shocked. Alec placed his hand on my knee and squeezed it to comfort me. Emmy escaped to the bathroom from my dagger-like gaze. Jasper looked weirdly at the bathroom door. Alec asked him, “Dude, what is it?” “How old is Emmy?” Jasper questioned. “She is 18. Why?” I replied. He frowned and sat down. “Dude?” Alec said again. “I think maybe she is my mate.” Alec and I looked at each other, jaws dropping in shock.

I’ve always been the good Omega, obedient and predictable. The riskiest thing I’ve ever done was falling for my brother’s friend, a Delta warrior who never seemed to notice me until I confessed my feelings. The day Casey Olson found out, he was taken aback—his piercing blue eyes widened, and his broad shoulders stiffened. But eventually, he agreed to be with me. I thought we were building something real, something that could withstand the rigid hierarchy of our pack. I thought we were in love. But on the night of the pack gathering, Casey shattered that illusion. He stood before the crowd, his commanding presence undeniable, and marked Lilyana Graham, a Beta from a rival pack, as his mate. The room fell silent, the weight of his decision pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket. “I, Casey Olson, Delta of the Silvermoon Pack, mark Lilyana Graham, Beta of the Crimsonfang Pack, as my mate,” he declared, his voice steady and final. In that moment, my world crumbled. My knees threatened to give way, but I held myself together, refusing to show weakness in front of the pack. I was just an Omega, after all. Unremarkable. Unworthy. --- When I first saw them together, I thought it was a cruel joke. Lilyana, radiant in a scarlet gown that seemed to mock my plain attire, stood beside Casey, her hand resting possessively on his arm. They looked like royalty, the kind of pair the Moon Goddess herself would bless. I don’t remember how long I stood there, watching them, but it felt like an eternity. Every glance, every touch between them was a dagger to my heart. The way he held her, the way he looked at her—I had never seen that tenderness directed at me. My wolf whimpered softly in the back of my mind, a sound of pain and betrayal. I tried to silence her, to bury the ache deep inside, but it was too late. The bond I had foolishly believed in was broken. Casey’s friends—other warriors in the pack—had warned me to let him go. Their disdainful looks and hushed whispers made it clear they thought I was out of my league. “If you truly love him, you’d want him to be with someone who matches his status,” they said, their words cutting deeper than they realized. But I didn’t understand then. All I knew was to try harder, to prove myself worthy. I followed Casey like a shadow, always nearby, always waiting for a moment of his attention. He would sigh, running a hand through his dark hair, his muscular frame tense with irritation. “Thalia, I’m not going anywhere,” he would say, his voice calm but distant. I would nod, believing him, yet I’d still text him later, checking on him once more. Eventually, Casey gave in. He stood before me, his towering figure casting a shadow over me, his eyes—those captivating eyes—softening for a fleeting moment. “Okay, I’ll stay with you,” he said. But things changed. He grew quieter, more distant. His laughter, once so vibrant, became rare. I told myself it was just stress, the weight of his responsibilities as a Delta. But deep down, I knew the truth. Every moment he spent with me was a burden he didn’t want to bear. The night of the gathering, I teetered on the edge of a breakdown, my wolf restless and my heart heavy. Casey appeared, his presence as commanding as ever. He stood in the shadows, watching me silently, his expression unreadable. I gazed at him, my vision blurred with tears. Casey stepped into the light, his hoodie hanging loosely over his broad frame, his eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite place—regret, perhaps, or pity. “Thalia,” he said, his voice low and measured, “did you understand what I did tonight?” I nodded numbly, my throat too tight to speak. He walked over, his steps deliberate, and wrapped his arms around me. His scent—musky and familiar—enveloped me, but it brought no comfort. “Take a moment to rest,” he murmured, his voice heavy with meaning. “There’s more I need to say.” I closed my eyes, clinging to the illusion that this was just a dream, that the bond we once shared wasn’t truly broken. But deep down, I knew the truth. Casey had chosen his path, and it didn’t include me.
