Looking at my Alpha father stood on the stage, I heaved a deep sigh over my tortuous fate.
Today was the day he announced his successor to the pack. As the eldest, I should be the one who inherited his Alpha title. It was not me... but my half-sister, Vanessa Baker.
“From today onwards, my daughter, Vanessa Baker, will be the Alpha of Red Moon Pack!” My father raised Vanessa’s hand and announced to everyone.
Howls and cheers erupted all around. All the guests’ gaze fell on Vanessa who wore a shiny golden silk dress.
No one noticed that I sat in the corner with numbness. Tonight was a wonderful night for them all.
Except for me...
It was just an extraordinary day for me. Besides seeing my father give me up, today was actually my 19th birthday.
But the weak didn't deserve attention. I learned that from my father.
I had been born prematurely, my mother died when she was giving birth to me.
I believed it was the reason why I was so powerless. I felt my wolf’s presence at fourteen, and tried to establish a connection with her. However, she never answer me.
Vanessa’s situation had been the opposite.
Just two days after I had failed, Vanessa had shifted into a white strong she-wolf. She seemed to personify nobility and power.
From then, my father doted on her, and his treatment toward me turned progressively colder and he was no longer smiled at me.
Even though I had long known it would happen, my breath still caught when he made the announcement. He really gave up on me and didn't care my feelings. He even forgot it was my birthday. Well...he never remembered it.
I grew up with no one to celebrate my birthday.
The sadness wasn’t too unbearable. I had already gotten used to my father’s preference for Vanessa.
The whispers of the people around me caught my attention as I took a deep breath.
"Wow... Alpha Vanessa is so beautiful. Much better than her elder sister Chloe!"
"Yes! Besides, Alpha Vanessa is more powerful than Chloe. It was a good thing that Chloe didn’t inherit to be Alpha, or our pack would have been miserable. I heard that she is nineteen years old and hasn't changed yet. Tsk, good for nothing.”
Hearing what they said, I lowered my head slightly and stepped back to a shadowy corner. Now no one could find me because I wore a plain black dress and hid in the dark, while Vanessa was standing in the center of the stage with a shiny crystal crown on her head. She was so charming and dazzling.
