Chapter 4

Olivia's POV

My father stood up, his face flushed, and he continued angrily, "You are simply a disgrace to the family. A year has passed, and you have not succeeded in capturing the heart of Alpha Leo. You are such a failure. You should thank Alpha Leo and Luna Tracy for their generosity."

"What do you mean, Beta Andrew?" My body began to tremble with anger, but I still tried to keep my tone steady. I clenched my fists. I knew I couldn't question him at this time because I had seen how he abused those who questioned his authority. But I couldn't tolerate it. I was his daughter, I was still not sure I could leave safely.

"They are willing to forgive your rudeness at the wedding and give you a chance to atone for your sins. You will be responsible for the daily life of the Alpha family. The first task is to arrange the wedding of the Alpha and the new Luna within a week. Don't let me down again." He pointed his finger at my face as if he would poke my eyes in the next second.

"I have given up becoming a Beta, which means I am no longer loyal to Alpha Leo and his family." I stared into his eyes.

"Who told you to serve them as a Beta? This is your chance to atone for your sins. Do what I say." He slapped me in the face, and I fell to the ground. My teeth broke my mouth, and the smell of blood spread in my mouth.

The power of anger burst out from my weak body, and I immediately stood up and retorted: "Don't you care if I feel better? Am I not your daughter? Should I die if I bring shame to the family?"

I ran back to my room sobbing and locked the door.

The feeling of suffocation and despair swept my mind, and I shed tears silently. I thought of escaping again, but I had nothing, no money, no one who loved me, and I just lost my baby.

Knock, knock, knock, "Can you let me in? I prepared your favorite peaches. You haven't eaten for a long time, right?" My mother's gentle voice sounded.

I cried even harder.

My mother and I lived under the dictatorship of Beta Andrew. When Andrew was sober, he was just arrogant, but as long as he was drunk, he would become a monster who peed on the living room wall and hit people with a bottle. Oh, f**k, my poor and weak mother. She would be even more helpless when I ran away.

I opened the door softly and let my mother in. Then I continued to lie back on the bed.

My mother touched my head and said, "How can you talk back to your father like this? No matter right or wrong, he is your father. I beg you, for the harmony of this family, go and apologize to your father, and then do what you should do, don't make me sad."

Oh, crap. I forgot how much my mother loves him, how much she depends on him, and how much she admires him. My heart, which softened for a short time, was protected by thick armor again.

My mother was not worth saving, and she didn't need me to save her. She loved him very much and she enjoyed her current life very much. Only I was redundant.

I would leave without any regrets when the time was right, just to protect myself.

I put away my tears and forced a smile.

My mother continued, "At two o'clock this afternoon, Alpha and New Luna are going to look at wedding dresses, and you need to accompany them."

Ha! Alpha and New Luna are choosing wedding dresses together, great, the goddess bless this happy couple. But I held back from saying the critical words and said against my will: "Okay."

Mom said again: "Good girl, start packing now."

Me: "Why? Mom?"

Mom covered my mouth and said: "Don't call me mom in the future. Beta and my only daughter is Tracy Walsh. Remember, you will be Olivia Brown, the slave of Alpha Leo in the future."

"Holly Crap!" That bitch stole my Alpha and my family. I don't believe that she was careless at this time. Rumor has it that Tracy was the illegitimate daughter of the old alpha, and now it was confirmed.

What the f**ck, things had come to this point, I didn't have to worry about anything anymore. I was such a joke, I foolishly thought that I could protect my family as long as I sacrificed myself and obeyed completely, but the reality was that my family was the one who hurt me the most.
