It was a bitter truth I had come to accept-that I was despised, unloved, and unwanted. Yet, standing here now, facing my family, I realized this was a different kind of torment altogether. I felt as if I were a mere shadow, my hands balled into fists at my sides, the weight of their gazes pressing down on me like a heavy shroud.

My father, mother, and sister regarded me with expressions that screamed disdain, as though I were nothing more than a piece of refuse to be discarded. "You should be grateful to us," my father's voice cut through the silence, pulling me from the depths of my despair. Grateful? The word tasted bitter on my tongue as I locked eyes with him, disbelief swirling in my chest. "Why? Why do you hate me so much?" I whispered, the pain constricting my heart like a vice. "Oh please, stop with the drama. Take a good look at yourself.

Would you love you if you were you?" My sister Rosella chimed in, her tone dripping with mockery. My mother chuckled, as if the situation were a grand joke, leaving me feeling more isolated than ever. "You're sending me to die, and you're laughing about it?" I spat back, fury igniting within me, my chest ablaze with indignation. "We're giving you redemption from your pathetic life. You've done nothing but bring disgrace to this family. We're only doing what's best for us," my mother retorted, her eyes narrowing with contempt. The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating.

I didn't need her to spell it out for me; it was painfully clear that I was not a part of this family. "What about me? What's best for me?" I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of fear and defiance. My father took a menacing step forward, and I could feel the tension crackling between us. "You ungrateful child! You should be thankful we even kept you alive. What gives you the right to question us?!" His voice thundered, and in that moment, something within me snapped. "I am your daughter! I am your daughter, and for twenty-two years, you have done nothing but hate me!

What have I ever done to deserve this?!" I shouted, my anger surging like a tidal wave, and before I could brace myself, his hand struck my face-a sharp, stinging slap that reverberated through my very being. "How dare you?! How dare you raise your voice at me?!" he roared, his face twisted with fury. My eyes burned with unshed tears, my lips quivered, but I refused to let them fall. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing my pain. "Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Do you even realize how utterly disgusting and ugly you are?" he sneered, and I stood there, absorbing his venomous words like a sponge, feeling the weight of his contempt. "And you had to come through my bloodline. Do you have any idea how humiliating that is? And as if that wasn't enough, you don't even have a wolf!" His words cut deep, and my heart clenched painfully in my chest. My eyes stung fiercely, but I would rather die than let him see my tears. "Father, father," my sister cooed, her voice saccharine sweet as she feigned concern.

"Don't let her upset you; she's not worth it," she said, clutching his hand as if she were the sun and he the moon, utterly captivated by her light. A warmth I would never know. "If only you were more like your sister. Rosella makes us proud. She's not only beautiful; she's strong and talented-unlike you," my father said, turning his gaze from Rosella, the pride in his eyes evaporating the moment they landed on me, replaced by sheer disgust. "You will be sent to the King's palace with the other omegas, and there's nothing you can do about it." "You know what, Emilia? You should be thrilled.

You get to die in the King's bed. That's if he doesn't kill you on the spot because there's no way the Alpha king would ever want to touch a pathetic loser like you." "You all are going to regret this," I said through gritted teeth, my hands clenched so tightly that I could feel the sharp bite of my nails digging into my skin, drawing blood. "What are you going to do? Crawl from the grave and haunt us?" Rosella laughed, and the sound echoed in my ears like a cruel melody. To think that this was my family. They never truly loved me.

My father had labeled me a disgrace, a reminder that I lacked a wolf and fell short of Rosella's beauty. As punishment, he had demoted me to an omega. Imagine the shame-the daughter of an Alpha reduced to such a lowly status. I became invisible, treated like refuse in my own pack, subjected to ridicule and scorn. 'Fat.' 'Ugly pig.' 'Pathetic loser.' At some point, I began to internalize their taunts, believing the lies they told me. "I won't die," I declared suddenly, surprising even myself. The laughter ceased, and all eyes turned to me, disbelief etched on their faces.

"I will survive," I asserted, a fierce determination igniting within me, wrapping around my heart like a steel chain. "Oh please, haven't you heard? No woman leaves his bed alive," my sister scoffed, her laughter mocking and cruel. And yet, they were so eager to offer me to him. "But I will survive," I repeated, my voice steady and resolute, the fire in my chest refusing to be extinguished. "You're delusional," Rosella said, shaking her head in mock pity. "You all will regret what you've done to me. I swear it," I promised, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and determination.

"Stop with the drama and go pack whatever garbage you have. You're leaving tonight with the others," my mother said, her tone casual, as if she were discussing the weather. Rosella smirked, her eyes gleaming with malice as she met my gaze. "You'll die, Emilia. You'll die." Conclusion As I stood there, the weight of my family's disdain pressing down on me like a heavy cloak, I felt a flicker of defiance ignite within my chest. Their cruel words had cut deep, but instead of succumbing to despair, I found a strength I never knew I possessed.

The realization that I was not defined by their hatred, that I could carve my own path, surged through me like a wildfire. I was no longer just Emilia, the unwanted daughter; I was a survivor, ready to face the unknown. The thought of the King's palace and the fate that awaited me there no longer filled me with dread, but rather with a fierce determination to reclaim my life and prove them all wrong. With every ounce of my being, I vowed to rise from the ashes of their scorn. I would not allow their judgments to dictate my worth.

As she grapples with her own self-worth, readers will witness the emergence of a fierce spirit within her, one that may just defy the odds stacked against her. Anticipation builds as Emilia prepares to confront not only the King but also the shadows of her past-will she find the strength to rise above the cruelty of her family and the expectations of a world that seeks to diminish her? The answers lie just beyond the horizon, waiting to be uncovered.
