The Rise of the Half-Rank Wolf Chapter 21
AriObserving Olenna was like glimpsing into a world of contrasts. Her refined demeanor and the elegance of her clothing underlined the vast difference in our ranks—her high status against my omega position.As I reached out to lend a hand, her eyes unexpectedly glowed with warmth and kindness that went beyond our different positions. Her gratefulness felt real, surprising me and making me rethink my assumptions about people in higher roles in this pack."May I know who's my lifesaver for today?" she asked, pulling me from my thoughts."Oh... My name is Ari," I replied.“Your skin had paler tones, and judging by the way you spoke, I could definitely feel you are not born an omega. You are not a local, are you?”I nodded, and her expression changed subtly. I sensed a tender pity, though she tried to conceal it with a smile."Then would you care to share how you ended up here? That is, if it is okay for you to share."Since the attack, I rarely share my past life with anyone here, yet s

AriThe day of the engagement arrived, and I found myself facing the mirror, a deep sigh escaping my lips. Koa, my spirit wolf, couldn't help but express his concern for me.“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.“There’s no other way, Koa. I must do this,” I replied resolutely. As I tied my tie, Koa's worry lingered, and I could sense his apprehension about the path I had chosen.I glanced at myself in the mirror, feeling kind of detached. The function hall was all decked out for the engagement party, but my face didn't show any excitement. I went in, and it was like a fancy dream. The place had these beautiful drapes and sparkling chandeliers. Tables were set up real nice with fresh flowers and fancy dishes. It smelled like a bunch of exotic flowers, and people were chatting away.But even with all that fancy stuff around, I couldn't get into the party vibe. My face didn't light up with joy or anything. I was just going through the motions, feeling uncomfortable and annoyed.

AriAs the formal engagement was announced, cheers erupted throughout the party. Everyone seemed to revel in the joyous occasion, but for me, it was a day of mourning. A day where I felt like I lost half of myself, a tangible proof that nothing would work out between us. It echoed the same fate that befell Ingrid in the past, a fate passed down by the moon goddess for us destined to have an unlikely pairing. Overwhelmed by my feelings, I hurried outside to avoid more sadness. My tears kept coming, but I dared not to show them. It would only mean embarrassment, especially if seen by Jenna’s group. The pain inside me was relentless and untamed. Tears flowed down my cheeks like a wild river. The sight of Kristoff standing next to Maddie, holding her hand, cut through me like a thousand thorns wrapping around my heart. Once more, the happiness I expected to feel when I met Kristoff turned into a nightmare I wished I never had experienced. I felt like I couldn't breathe. The scene I wit

AriHearing words from Seraphina, I knew trouble was coming. My chest felt heavy, sure that Seraphina would try to block my way. I hoped I could reach the exams without problems, no matter what Seraphina was plotting.“What’s wrong, Lady Seraphina?” the exam leader asked.The Alpha’s family noticed the noise. We looked at the exam leader and Seraphina. Kristoff observed Seraphina engaging in conversation with the exam leader, his expression revealing concern and alarm for my well-being. The Ironwolf, accompanied by his Luna, focused their gaze on the duo.“Are there any concerns?”Turning towards the Ironwolf, Seraphina took a step forward, bowing her head in a gesture of respect.“Greetings, Ironwolf. First, I apologize for the commotion. But may I have permission to speak about my thoughts regarding the examinees?”The Ironwolf nodded, signaling his readiness to hear Seraphina’s concerns about the exam.Seraphina smiled and looked in my direction. My heart raced. I closed my eyes an

AriThe atmosphere in the examination hall buzzed with anticipation, a palpable tension that hung in the air, felt with every breath. After the chaotic pre-examination ceremony, we were shepherded into the hall like a cautious herd of sheep, each step echoing the weight of our dreams and anxieties.As I moved forward, I noticed Seraphina giving me a fierce glare. A subtle smirk played on my lips; it seemed her confidence was not as unshakable as she pretended.I caught sight of Kristoff. Our eyes locked, and his lips moved in a way that conveyed a silent message. He mouthed, "Good luck," yet no voice emerged from his mouth. I responded indifferently and immediately saw a tinge of pain in his eyes.At last, we arrived at the room where the initial phase of my revenge would unfold—the examination room.The door to the examination room creaked open, unveiling a space of bare simplicity. My eyes surveyed the necessities – a water pitcher, a chamber pot, bedding, and a lone pencil.Bedding

AriAfter 30 hours into the exam, I felt exhausted. My eyes were getting heavy, and my vision started to blur. I rubbed my eyes and forced them open, glancing at the daunting pile of 1000 questions still awaiting my attention."I thought they were being kind to us omegas, but these exams seem impossible to finish. We'll never elevate our ranks!"I couldn't help but join in the collective groans and complaints echoing around me. Looking behind, I saw my fellow examinees snoring, struggling to stay awake after the past 30 hours. I had only managed to grab 6 hours of sleep during that time, and fatigue was setting in, making my vision spin.Slapping both of my cheeks, I weighed my options carefully. "1000 questions in less than 18 hours. I could survive without food, but not without sleep. It would be useless to answer questions but not pass."If I wanted to get through this task, I needed to be wise. With that, I put down the pencil and began to strategize. I looked at the big hourglass

AriThe following day, I went about my usual tasks, knowing that the results of the omega exam under the scholarly department would be announced at night.I made a conscious effort to avoid dwelling on it. I focused on my household chores, but the fear of not passing the exam lingered in the back of my mind. Sharing my negative feelings with anyone, especially Jackie, might cause them anxiety. I no longer wanted to be a burden to them, especially during these moments.In my mind, lacking confidence in my performance and worrying about the exam's outcome could cause my people distress. I didn't want that, so I kept the negative thoughts to myself.I tried to stay composed, but the negative thoughts and anxiety took over, affecting my housework.Suddenly, Ingrid called out to me from her office."Bring me a glass of water, bread, and some grapes."Ingrid looked tired and busy with paperwork. I went out and brought the items she asked for. But when I got there..."What are you doing? Did

AriMy heart felt like it was about to burst out of my ribcage. Nervously, I observed the bald guy in front of me, clutching a piece of paper tightly. The list of passers had finally arrived. The atmosphere among the omegas turned silent as we all waited for the bald guy to speak. He cleared his throat."Good evening, omegas. As we announced, after 24 hours, we’ll have the list of the omegas who managed to overcome the first obstacle for the scholarly department. Before I announce it, I want to give my greetings personally. Congratulations."Applause erupted in the main hall, and my fellow omegas who participated in the tough exam looked just as nervous and anxious as I felt. Jackie and Igor noticed my behavior and kindly offered their support.“This is it, Lady Ari. You’ve done well, so be at peace,” Igor reassured me, tapping my shoulder. He smiled and whispered, “Even if you didn’t pass the exam, it’s not the end for you, Lady Ari. It’s an annual exam held every year. We will keep
