Framed by the alpha's true daughter, my family regrets very much

After enduring three years of torment, I was finally set free from prison.

Before I left,they beat me mercilessly one last time.

"If you dare speak of what happened here, we have ways to ensure you'll never live in peace again."

The heavy iron doors creaked open, and the outside world met me.

But I never expected the one to pick me up would be my once-beloved brother, Theo.

Leaning against the car with impatience etched on his face, he sneered, "Stop playing the martyr. Let's go. The family's waiting for you."

"Family? What family do I have left?"

Theo, no longer the protective brother I once knew, grabbed my wrist roughly, dragging me into the car.

"It's Christmas. Everyone's waiting for you. Don't make us look bad. And if it weren't for Grandma's condition, do you think I'd waste my time with you?"

I shuddered, the memories of Grandma-the only person who ever truly loved me-flooding back.

She had always treated me as her own, even after Jade returned to the family. But when I was framed and imprisoned, she was away on pack duties, unable to help me. It was only her constant visits to the prison that kept me from losing hope.

Now, her health was failing, and the thought that I might never see her again weighed heavily on my soul.

Theo shoved a gift into my arms, and I stared at the small box with a growing sense of dread.

It wasn't a high-end gown as I had hoped but a delicate metal necklace with a small keychain engraved with my name.

Underneath the keychain was a note, and when I read it. The handwriting was unmistakable-Jade's.

"You think being out of prison means freedom? Remember, it's only temporary. The key to your cage is always in my hands."

I slipped the necklace into my pocket, knowing that even if I showed it to Theo, he'd accuse me of trying to tarnish Jade's image.

"Take a shower when we get home. Afterward, go see Grandma," Theo said coldly.

When we arrived at the hospital, I could hear my parents' voices-sweet as always-but they were soon drowned out by Jade's insufferable whines.

Theo scowled, but his eyes froze when he saw the bruises on my arms. "Rona, is this some kind of pity stunt? Do you think we'll fall for this?"

I shook my head, but before I could speak, he interrupted. "Enough. Get dressed. I don't have time for your games."

As I entered Grandma's room, my heart shattered at the sight of her frail form. Tears welled in my eyes as she reached out, pulling me into a tight embrace.

"Rona, my dear... You're finally home. My sweet granddaughter."

My years of suffering seemed to bleed out all at once. I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Don't worry. The truth will come to light, and you will get the justice you deserve," Grandma whispered, her hand gently caressing my head.

But my parents
