Camilla pushed some chairs out of her way as she rushed to Sam. Her eyes fell on Sam, sipping wine as he scrolled through his phone. Her ears flared up. "Sam, what's going on? Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you quiet, like we are not part of the family?" Camilla rested one hand on her waist and the other on her forehead. Sam didn't say a word; he didn't even look up at her. He remained engrossed in his phone with no atom of emotion written on his face. "You sat there while that stupid girl humiliated me and our daughter. You watched her slap me, and you did nothing about it." Camilla kept on ranting. That was all she could do. She couldn't fathom the fact that Sam remained quiet and wasn't saying anything. Or was he part of everything that had been going on? She had doubts about it but hoped it wouldn't be true. Sam adjusted his glass, turned off his phone, and placed it beside him on the couch. He looked up at Camilla and crossed his legs. "Camilla, y

VALERIA Pain. Anxiety. Terror. It seeped through my veins. I cried out in my subconscious mind, but I have no idea what is going on. "Wake up bitch!" Jerking up as I was awoken by a slosh of cold water. My heartbeat hastened, gasping, my eyes fluttered open as the water cascaded down my hair, drenching my shirt, revealing my lacey bra. Confusion washed over me, I tried to catch my breath. Bound to a steel table, surrounded by darkness, my sight blurred. I struggled to move, but my hands were tied. In the abandoned manor, I realised I'm not alone. "Argh!" "It worked tremendously," Lifting my head, I heard a dry laugh close to me, certain that the voice I heard was familiar. My throat tightened at the sight of Emilia, my stepsister, walking and squatting in front of me, holding up a bottle to my face. "Emilia," my voice weak. "What's going on?" Smirking, she dangled the bottle, touching the tip of my no
VALERIA [Flash back] My name is Valeria Hoover, most of my close friends call me Val. I'm the illegitimate daughter of Beta Sam and an Omega of the lowest rank in The Enchanted Shadows pack. My job is to clean and scrub. My father, who feels disgusted by my sight even though I have his blood flowing through my veins. The hatred he bore for me increased a thousandfold when he married Camilla. She made things worse for me. I had no idea who my biological mother was, and when I tried to find her, there was no trace of her existence. When I tried to ask my father about her, I faced cruel insults and brutal beatings, which eventually led to the assault. "Your mother was a slut! She never stayed indoors at night. You should take over her now," Camilla rang in my ears, causing me to cringe. She hated me and couldn't stand the sight of me... she saw me as a worthless piece of trash. She would always remind me how low of an omega I am and how I deserve nothing good in
