“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs.

“What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. 

“I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further.

“Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him.

“Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward.

“At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me.

“That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine.

“You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress.

“Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me.

I lost my balance and tripped.

***

Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her.

Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house.

I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless.

Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet.

I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen.

Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress.

I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.

"Then what do you want from me, Lena? Why are you even here?" My blood was boiling merely staring at her, and her smirk deepened.


"To make you suffer," she said without hesitation, and I blinked my lashes at her.


"Wait… what?" I gasped, air almost trapped in my lungs.


I calmed myself, trying to collate my words. "Lena, had you been the one who set me up with the diamond bracelet?" I questioned, even if a part of me knew she had been the one who had put me in trouble, I still wanted to confirm from her mouth.


Her smirk curled as one of the devils as she moved closer to me. "Yes, I did," she pouted her lips mockingly, and my chest tightened.


"You should be smart enough to have figured that out already," she flashed her gaze at me.


"Why would you do that to me?" Tears sprang to my eyes as I stared at my sister.


What had she become? This wasn't the Lena I knew. What happened to the old her?
