Twenty years ago, Elise broke up with my father and obediently married a wealthy, powerful Alpha from another pack, following
her family’s arrangement.
They had been childhood sweethearts, but her family considered my father beneath them. “A Beta’s son will never be enough for
our daughter,” they had told her.
As time passed, fortunes changed. The wealthy man lost his status, while my father–once just a poor wolf–married my mother
and transformed into a successful Beta.
My mother’s family had connections, intelligence, and loyalty. With their help, my father rose through the ranks, becoming the
pack’s esteemed Beta.
Everything was so dramatic. Then my mother died from illness, and Elise divorced her husband.
The timing wasn’t coincidental. Elise had been circling, waiting for her moment to reclaim what she felt was rightfully hers.
For my father, these were two pieces of wonderful news.
He didn’t even try to hide his joy. The day after Mom’s funeral, I caught him smiling at his phone, texting Elise as if Mom had
never existed.
And so, Elise and my father rekindled their relationship. Mother and daughter moved into our house, stealing everything that was
mine.
My food, my clothes, my toys, my room, and finally, they wanted to steal my father too.
Ten days ago, Amber returned home excited, saying she had been practicing shooting and wanted a gun that could fire special fire
bullets.
My father immediately offered to buy her one, but after a moment’s hesitation, she said with feigned shyness: “I think that silver
handgun in the weapons cabinet looks really nice.”
