“Alpha, everything you need to know about Aurora is in your mail,” Jasper communicated via mind-link.
I hastened my steps to my office, a dark smile twisting on my lips.
“Come to Daddy, Aurora,”
Aurora
Before I could process what was happening, Nathalia sent me flying toward the door with another heavy kick. My head slammed against the hard wooden door, making it ring.
I groaned in pain, holding my head with my eyes tightly shut.
What I heard next was the flick of fingers, and before I knew it, two guards grabbed me by my arms and dragged me out of my room, tossing me onto the floor.
I struggled to crawl away when Nathalia’s figure hovered above me.
I couldn’t lose my temper-not in front of everyone. But she could humiliate me in front of everyone, right? My subconscious screamed at me.
I was left with no choice. I had to protect myself from unnecessary punishment.
“You slut!” she yelled in anger, dragging me by my hair before I could make it across the room.
“Let me go!” I struggled, trying to push her hand off my hair, but she tightened her grip, almost uprooting my hair strands.
My scalp burned in pain as I felt a few strands ripped out forcefully.
“What is the meaning of this, Nathalia?” The Alpha’s authoritative voice boomed across the room.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I knew he would rescue me from his psycho daughter.
“Nothing serious, Dad. I’m just punishing this brat!” She hissed, smacking me hard across the face.
“I said stop it!” he ordered, using his Alpha tone, but Nathalia hissed, looking away as if he were invisible.
“I can’t let a thief roam free in this house!” she shouted, making my heart break.
“But I didn’t steal anything!” I shouted back, but she punched my face.
The hallway was getting more crowded now. I could make out more than seven people gawking at us.
The Alpha and his Luna, my mother, Eve, who looked like she was about to cry…
“Listen to your father, Nathalia. Let your sister go,” the Luna tried to intervene.
“She is not my sister!” Nathalia thundered. Her voice almost shook the mansion.
She hated being called my sister.
“She is a bastard! She doesn’t belong here. She is the daughter of a slut!”
“Hey!” My mother interrupted, but Nathalia continued as if my mother didn’t exist.
“She is a shameless whore and a thief!” She concluded, spitting on me before releasing her grip. I winced in pain as I struggled to stand.
“Is that true?” The Alpha and Luna chorused, their brows furrowing in confusion.
“Are you saying I’m lying?” Nathalia gasped in disbelief before I could speak.
“This thief here stole my jewelry!” Nathalia accused me, pointing her fingers at me to my father’s disappointment. It was her words against mine.
“She didn’t steal it!” Another voice rang out from the small crowd.
I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw Eve.
Nathalia threw her a death glare as she made her way to the Alpha, but Eve ignored it.
“Alpha,” she acknowledged, bowing briefly. “Ma’am Nathalia told Rory to do the chores in preparation for the Alpha King’s arrival. Rory didn’t even stand except for bathroom breaks. When I was about to meet the chief cook, I saw a guard enter Rory’s room. I’m certain that was the jewelry Ma’am Nathalia was searching for,” Eve explained.
“Thank you,” I mouthed, hoping she would see how grateful I was.
“That doesn’t change the fact that her mother saw it in her room!”
“Because it was planted there by someone! Were you deaf when she was talking?” The Alpha yelled at Nathalia, irritated. My eyes met Eve’s, and a feeling of pity washed over me. Nathalia would make sure she paid for speaking up for me.
She would make Eve’s life a miserable hell.
Maybe Eve should have kept quiet to save herself.
“Was that the reason for this drama?” The Luna asked, hissing afterward and turning to leave. “Your father and I have better things to attend to.”
“Who said I’m letting her go?” Nathalia resumed, grabbing my hair again.
It seemed she wasn’t going to accept defeat yet.
“She is a whore!”
“I’m not…”
“Shut up! No one asked for your opinion, fucking whore!”
“Nathalia, what is it this time?” The Alpha gritted his teeth, visibly irritated.
“I saw her seduce my man,” Nathalia snapped.
“Man? What man?” he asked, creasing his brow in confusion.
“The Alpha King. She was all over him when we were in the hall. She even wore this rag to get his attention!” Nathalia screamed, ripping my floral dress instantly and kicking me so hard that I fell on my face.
My eyes flashed with anger as my lips tasted blood.
Not this time, bitch.
I let my emotions overtake me as I growled at Nathalia, challenging her to a fight. She didn’t waste time and pounced on me, tearing the rest of my gown. Good thing I wore underwear.
I launched at her, striking her hard on the face and scratching her with my sharp nails until blood gushed from her skin. Nothing else mattered-not even the punishment I would receive afterward. I was beating the hell out of Nathalia, and I would enjoy every moment of it.
Before anyone could separate us, I sat on her, delivering a series of punches to her battered face before scratching her body. A push from her sent me crashing to the floor, and some guards pinned me down.
I let out a gasp when Nathalia howled, shifting into her wolf form before everyone. She cheated, knowing I couldn’t shift. She was definitely going to kill me in her wolf form.
Just as she was about to launch at me, I felt my bones shift. Maybe it was my broken ribs. I screamed as fur sprouted from my body. My teeth weren’t left out either, as sharp canines replaced them. My fingernails grew into long claws.
I stood on all fours, growling and howling louder than Nathalia. Gasps filled the room as everyone watched in shock.
No one expected this. Not even Nathalia thought my wolf could be bigger and more powerful than hers.
While her wolf was lean, mine was huge, towering over hers.
Did I just fucking shift?
This was the happiest day of my life!
Confusion soon overtook me as I glared at the color of my fur.
Silver-colored fur.
My eyes widened when I saw Nathalia’s fur color-dark as night.
