Like trash, some of my clothes, shoes, training gear, Gamma medals and battle trophies had been thrown into the garden.
I went to my room, and sure enough, Diane was sitting at my vanity.
In front of the mirror, she was trying on my different healing gem necklaces while wearing my most expensive silk robe.
When I pushed the door open, she smiled at me in a way that said, “Sister, you will be sleeping in the snow on this trip.” Why don’t you go outside and sleep in the garden now so you can get used to it before the trip?”
She went on, “Your jewellery and clothes are very nice. Your premium travel reservations are also great. I let you have them for a long time, so I think it’s time for you to give them all back to me.”
My blood wasn’t just boiling; my wolf was howling for blood. Everything I had learnt about how to control my anger went out the window.
Before I could even think, my claws were out and I was hitting her in the face, leaving a bloody scratch right away.
“Ah!””You dare hit me?” she yelled, glaring at me.”
She lunged at me to hit me back, but as soon as my parents opened the bedroom door, she fell to the ground, covered her face, and cried, “Sister, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.” “Mom said I could stay in your room tonight.”
“Now I’ll go sleep in the yard if you’re not happy.” She covered her face and acted like she was upset.
Mom went over to comfort her with love. Dad looked at me like he was mad. “Scarlett, what’s wrong with you?” Say you’re sorry to Diane right now and then go to bed in the yard!
He went on. “This is for your own good! When we get to Italy, it will be very cold for you to sleep in the snow. Sleeping in the garden will help you get used to it ahead of time!”
I stood my ground and let my Gamma aura out, which made Diane and my parents’ wolves shake. I said firmly, “It’s not me who needs to go.”
Diane cried on the floor, hiding her face. “I’m sorry, Mom and Dad. It’s my fault. Let me go.” She was acting like a victim. Normal behaviour.
Mom was almost crying because she was so worried. “Let me get you some herbs that will help you heal.”
At that moment, George walked into the room. He looked back and forth between us, his eyes staying on Diane’s face.
“What happened?” he asked, his voice sounding far away.
“My father growled, “Your friend attacked poor Diane.”
George’s eyes showed that he was disappointed in me. “Scarlett, how could you?”
So that was how it was going to be. My own friend is on their side.
I locked my bedroom door with magic stones and turned on the security system as soon as they left. A $10,000 safety feature. Good use of money.
I took off all the bedding that smelt like her and threw it away. Then I went to bed after using herbs that block smells.
Mother knocked on my door the next morning. “Why did you do that? I spent hours trying to get into your room! You woke everyone up!”
“I was being nice by giving you more time with her. You should thank me.”
“Are you out of your mind? She’s your sister!”
“Oh, now you remember I’m family? I thought she was coming back to take my place.”
George stood behind my parents, and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. “Scarlett, we need to talk.”
“I don’t have anything to say to a friend who doesn’t stand by me,” I said coldly.
Diane was the one who kept the peace. “Please don’t fight. This trip should be fun. Don’t let me ruin it—I’ll feel bad.” “See how understanding she is? Unlike you, who’s just jealous!” my parents yelled.
Mom joined in. “Your behaviour is getting worse. Just give her your booking. Don’t let this happen again; we’ll let it slide this time.”
Father growled. “We’ve spoilt you! A daughter of the pack should know her place—no daughter dares to refuse her parents’ entry! Such defiance should be punished. That would teach you respect!”
