The Erased S-Rank Daughter Chapter 07

The Erased S-Rank Daughter Chapter 07

I rolled my eyes and deleted it without a second thought.

Then, steadying my wolf as she churned with excitement and tension, I took a deep breath.

The host’s voice echoed through the hall.

“Please welcome our freshman representative, Audra Keene!”

I stepped out, my inner wolf steeling herself.

“Hello everyone, I’m Audra Keene from the Pinehollow Pack.”

“Today, I don’t want to talk about grades or school pride. I want to talk about team–about family. About how

the pack that raises you shapes everything you are, and ultimately makes you who you are.”

For the next half hour, I laid out my entire life growing up.

How my parents always favored Maisie over me.

How, as the middle child, I was turned into a ghost.

How Maisie used her weakness to get whatever she wanted.

How Rafe turned a blind eye to all of it, never once standing up for me.

How they smashed my trophies, but framed her tiny prizes.

How they tried to steal my test scores, my acceptance, my whole future.

I almost let them take it all.

Finally, I smiled and bowed my head to the crowd.

“That’s all. That is the story of Audra Keene. She wants to tell you–your life is always in your own hands.”

“And lastly, I truly hope you all get what you deserve.”

A bow.

Silence.

Thundering applause.

“Oh my god, Audra’s story is heartbreaking. I can’t believe she survived that.”

“Right? She must have fought so hard to escape.”

“What is wrong with the Pinehollow Pack? Throwing away an S-tier daughter just to pamper one who can

barely hold her shift?”

At the very back of the line, my family stood frozen, reeking of sour shock.

Rafe stared up at me on stage, eyes conflicted.

“Is that… Audra?”

My parents exchanged a look. Something flickered in their eyes–confusion? Doubt?

Maisie caught the shift in their expressions, dark resentment flashing in her eyes.

After the ceremony, I walked out of the auditorium.

I looked up, only to spot four familiar figures standing under the oak tree in the distance.

“Audra!”

They marched over–their disgusting scent making me wince. They blocked my path.

Rafe spoke first. “I need to talk to you–why did you do that?”

I met his gaze. My voice was as cold as frost.

“Do what? Become an S-tier freshman? Or lie to you?”

“Audra!” His voice turned sharp. But then his tone softened–too quickly.

“Please, we’re family–pack family shares blood and honor, why fight?”

He glanced at our parents.

“We already bought your ticket. Head back to the Pinehollow Pack. Maisie is living here starting tomorrow.”

I tilted my head. No anger, no sadness.

Just empty.

“Really?” I asked with a laugh.

“Feel free to try. I met about ten professors today.”

“I also gave a speech in front of hundreds of wolves, telling them about my spoiled sister back home.”

“I made the academy’s elite training squad–a place Maisie’s weak wolf could never handle.”

“So how exactly is she going to take my place?”

Hearing this, Maisie broke down, weeping uncontrollably.

She covered her face, but her wolf’s distressed scent still filled the air.

“How could you say that about me?!”

Mom, Dad, and Rafe glared at me, as if I had truly turned into a wicked dark witch.

“Audra, are you insane?!” Rafe grit his teeth. “She’s your littermate. How could you talk about her like that?

You–”

“–owe her my life? Is that what you were going to say?”

I cut him off. He froze, his amber wolf eyes flickering.

I laughed. But the words came out cold and vicious.

“I didn’t ask to be born with her. If she’s so sick, it doesn’t matter if she dies. It has nothing to do with me.”

“And you? You blame everything on me. The real evil witches? It’s you!”

Dad’s face flushed deep crimson, his Alpha aura blasting out completely uninhibited.

“What… what the hell did you just say?!”

He raised his hand and smashed a slap across my face. Claws tore through my cheek.

I could have dodged it, but I didn’t.

I wanted that hit.

Right here.

In front of everyone.

A crisp crack echoed outside the auditorium. I crashed heavily to the ground, my wolf whimpering inside me.

Students poured out of the hall, stopping to stare.

“Wait, isn’t that Audra?”
