Family’s Regret After I Left

My father adopted Seraphina, the daughter of an Omega servant who died trying to save us.

In less than a year with the Blackwood family, she became everyone's precious darling.

Not only did my father treasure her like a gem, but even my mate and my brother started favoring her over me.

When Sera accidentally dropped my mother's heirloom necklace into the fire and it burned to ash, Father said we should let the past stay in the past. He threw away everything that belonged to Mother.

Even the anti-silver antidote I developed to honor my mother's memory—she died from silver poisoning—Sera wanted to take that away from me too.

To force me to hand over my research to Sera, Damien—my childhood sweetheart and future mate—even threatened to cancel our mating ceremony.

However, when I stopped fighting with Sera and left home forever, they went crazy.

The Royal Beta shot up from his chair, excitement radiating from every pore.

"Excellent, Miss Blackwood! This antidote of yours will save hundreds, maybe thousands of wolves suffering from silver poisoning. But this research requires at least five years of isolation in the Council's labs to perfect the formula. We leave in a week. Don't you need to discuss this with your family first?"

"No need."

I smiled bitterly.

That house stopped being my home a long time ago anyway.

Last year, a servant couple who worked for our family was killed by rogue wolves in the wilderness. Father took pity on their Omega daughter, Seraphina, and adopted her into our home.

Unlike me, who only knew how to quietly do my work, Sera had a gift for winning people over.

We've known each other since we were five. When we turned eighteen and our wolves awakened, we discovered we were mates. I always thought we'd spend our lives together.

But even now, he still
