Aubrey’s POV

At the sound of my voice, Mariana finally lifted her head. Her eyes darted away in pitiful fear, as if the very sight of me terrified her, her body trembling ever so slightly.
That act of hers only made me look more like a bully throwing my weight around. Many people shot me unfriendly looks, and a few beta werewolves even bared sharp fangs at me, as if to accuse me of going too far.
When I said nothing–just stood there, gazing down at her with a hint of contempt–Mariana finally couldn’t hold back.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Aubrey. I didn’t mean to hurt you. The fact that you can still come to class today proves you weren’t hurt that badly. Can’t you let this go? Please say something to the alpha for me, help me get my beta rank back. I’ll make it up to you–any amount of money you want!”
I narrowed my eyes. If my wolf hadn’t been alpha–level in truth, my injuries wouldn’t have healed this quickly.
But the way she put it, it sounded like I was the one blowing things out of proportion.
Before I could respond, one of those self–proclaimed “kind and just” types stepped in.
A beta girl with a high ponytail went over to help Mariana up, glaring at me with righteous indignation. “Enough! What’s the point of humiliating her like this? You look fine to me–was it really necessary to strip her rank? She’s a beta. If she’s suddenly made omega, how’s she supposed to live?”
But Mariana flinched back from her touch as if frightened, tears spilling one by one down her cheeks, making her look helpless and shaken.
“No, no! I won’t get up! If Aubrey won’t forgive me, I’ll stay here forever! Aubrey, I’ll never again say you’re jealous of me for being a beta!”
She pushed the other girl’s hands away, her tear–filled eyes fixed on me. She even stepped closer.
“Aubrey! Please, I truly didn’t mean it. Let me go, won’t you? I’ll never appear before the alpha again— please, give me a chance to live.
“I was so lucky to awaken my beta–level wolf. That was the Moon Goddess’s blessing–I can’t lose it. If I do, I’ll die!
“Aubrey, if you agree, I’ll serve as a maid for the Miguel family. I’ll attend to you, wash your clothes, cook for you, clean your toilets. I can even protect you. Aubrey, please! Ask the alpha to restore my rank!”
Her performance instantly stirred sympathy among the crowd.
“Aubrey, you’re fine–just let it go!”
“Yeah, you’re young. Don’t be so cruel! Besides, with her as a beta to protect you, your safety would be guaranteed.”
At Ocean University, almost every student was a beta werewolf. Omegas didn’t have the resources to study or improve themselves. If not for my outstanding talent in medicine, I never would have been admitted here as an exception.

Their loyalties were naturally aligned with other betas, and toward omegas like me, they carried nothing but arrogance and disdain.
And now, because I had become the alpha’s sister, I–a mere omega–had supposedly used my privilege to demote a beta to omega. To them, that was nothing less than an insult to the entire beta race.
“Absurd! She’s the one who did wrong, and the alpha’s the one who gave the order. How can they all act like it’s your fault?” Ella’s voice snarled in my mind.
“Why else? In their high–ranking eyes, omegas are supposed to be like dogs,” I answered her silently. “If someone hits your left cheek, you offer the right. If you’re humiliated, you can’t fight back. If someone apologizes, you’re obligated to forgive instantly.”
But why should I?
A male beta even stepped forward, striding right up to me. “Aubrey, if you’ll just help by speaking to the alpha and getting Mariana’s beta rank back, I’ll ask my mentor to take you on as a student.”
He gave me a look dripping with condescension. “I’ll even share our latest research results on the T–flu with you. How about it?”
