Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
Chapter 5 Silencing the Witness
Aubrey’s POV
“Dad. I’m this badly injured, and you don’t even ask about it; when Mom and Bailey slander me, you say nothing. But the moment 1 defend myself, you want me to apologize? Am I the one bringing shame here? If my dear sister hadn’t started spreading lies, would I be standing here, humiliated in front of everyone?”
After I spoke, my father froze for a moment; then his brows knitted in a deep frown. He lowered his voice and scolded me sharply.
“Aubrey, you’ve always been sensible; you know how to look at the bigger picture. No matter what’s happened, take it up at home.”
His words chilled my heart.
He had seen perfectly well that it was his beloved mate and precious daughter Bailey who had caused this
scene–not me.
And yet, he still chose to shield them; he wanted me to swallow this injustice.
I closed my eyes; pain twisted through my chest. I couldn’t help but pity myself. In my last life, I had clung to this fake notion of family, and it had led me straight to ruin.
“Well, well. So Ms. Mary ran off to hide here?”
A greasy voice rang out from the doorway. “Back in the room, weren’t you begging us to mark you? Practically drooling like you’d never seen a man before. That skin of yours–soft as silk. What, now you suddenly ran off in such a mess?”
“Or maybe… besides us, you had plans with some other werewolves too? Tsk, so desperate.”
I turned my head; it was the two Beta warriors who had been chasing me earlier–Robert and Easton. They were notorious rogues in the Shadowmoon Pack; rich, arrogant, addicted to drinking, gambling, and
women.
As they strode in, I noticed something; unlike Robert, who strutted in full of swagger, Easton looked visibly nervous, shrinking under the weight of so many eyes.
That would be my opening. I narrowed my eyes slightly.
“Aubrey! What is going on?” my father demanded angrily. “Is what he said true?”
Aurelia covered her mouth dramatically with her ring–clad hand. “Oh my! Aubrey, earlier you claimed you. were drunk after just one glass of fruit/wine. I had someone take you to rest in the red house out of kindness; I never imagined you’d do something like this…”
Bailey cried her fake tears. “Aubrey/no wonder you were so upset. I believe you–you wouldn’t have done this willingly; they must have forced you!”
One line after another; they drowned me in false sympathy. The scene brought me right back to that night in my past life–Bailey bursting into the room with others, finding me naked and trapped with those two wolves.
Back then, they had done the same thing–insisting we had already slept together; making the entire pack believe that Henry’s Omega fiancee was a wench who seduced strange wolves in his own home–two of

them, no less! I had been utterly disgraced.

At the time, I had only been eighteen; weak and timid. Surrounded by sneers and accusations, I couldn’t even defend myself I had only cried.
And the rumors had snowballed; my reputation destroyed, my engagement annulled.
Now I had been reborn–sent back to this very night. Surely, the Moon Goddess had guided me here; gifted me this second chance.
This time, I couldn’t be weak… I would not be weak.
“Mr. Kaden,” I called past them, turning to Kaden, who had just arrived in a hurry. He was the Alpha’s butler; he had watched me grow up, one of the few who had truly cared for me.
I pointed coldly at the two bastards. “Mr. Kaden, please call the guards. They tried to kill me.”
“What? Such a thing?” Kaden’s expression turned serious at once. “Guards! Guards! Seize them immediately!”
Easton’s face went pale; but Robert instantly shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Aubrey! That’s low! You were the one who suddenly went into heat–dragging us to bed, begging us to mark you. But when someone passed by and you got scared, now you’re turning it around on us?”
“You think this is a game? Your lies could land us in the dungeon with our dicks cut off!”
His roar echoed through the entire hall; the crowd erupted in a wave of gasps.
My father, seething with rage, lifted his hand and slapped me hard across the face.
“Aubrey! Is this how I raised you? Haven’t I told you–your body belongs to Mr. Miguel alone! You must carry on your ancient bloodline with him! You’ve ruined everything! Damn it–I should’ve put you in a chastity belt from the start!”
The force of the blow split my lip; blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
My head spun; my ears buzzed. From the corner of my eye, I caught Bailey smirking triumphantly.
I turned my head mechanically, staring at my father’s flushed, furious face. I couldn’t even hear what he was shouting anymore; I didn’t care to. It would be the same as always–insults and condemnation. Read full story at.net
Yes, this was my beloved father–who had never listened to my side, who had never once believed in me.
All my life, if anyone spoke ill of me, I was the one punished; I was the one locked in the dark room; the one whipped.
A bitter, mocking smile curled my lips. That slap severed the last shred of fatherly affection I had clung to.
I took a deep breath; I no longer looked at him. Instead, I turned to face the two enemies I had hated to my bones in my last life. My voice was calm as I dropped my bombshell.
“You two–this whole act is just to silence me. Because Loverheard your crimes.”
