Alpha Rising: From Outcast to Empire
The day my adopted sister Xina was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, I was captured by rival pack hunters and taken across pack territories.
In a hidden den beneath the mountains, I was chained like an omega during the day and subjected to endless humiliation. At night, they locked me in a moonless chamber and extracted my blood and bone marrow while I was conscious.
By the time my pack found me, my body was broken beyond recognition, covered in bite marks, and infected with numerous diseases that even our supernatural healing couldn't combat.
My mother, Alpha Serena, looked at me barely clinging to life, and howled so painfully she collapsed several times.
My brother Ivan even traveled beyond our ancestral lands to find healers who could treat me.
But in my half-conscious state, I accidentally overheard their conversation:
"Mother, we captured Lisa just to save Xina, and let her be violated by so many rogues. Now we're taking one of her kidneys too—isn't that going to kill her?"
Mother was silent for a long time, then choked up and said:
"For Xina, I had no choice."
"Besides, Lisa challenged Xina's rank all these years, made her severely depressed. This is just me atoning to Xina on her behalf."
"It doesn't matter if she's been tainted. From now on, we'll keep her in the packhouse and take care of her. That'll count as compensation."
As the silver blade sliced into my body, tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes.
A den with four wolves... was simply too crowded.
