“Mandy, that wr*tch actually did something so despicable,” Trista burst out, her anger igniting as she shifted into a brown she–wolf on the spot. “I’m going to teach her a lesson she’ll never forget!” She growled, baring her sharp fangs.

“She must have fled out of guilt, afraid the police would find her fingerprints,” Lillian added sternly. “I never would have believed Mandy would stoop this low

The gathered crowd finally understood that they had wrongly accused me. It became clear that I had nothing to do with it–it was Mandy who had tried to frame me. Apologies glimmered in their eyes as they looked my way.

Trista stepped forward and said embarassingly, “Hayley, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken so harshly earlier.”

She was a decent girl. Despite her higher status as a Beta, Trista had always been kind enough to befriend an Omega like me. I didn’t hold it against her and replied, “It’s okay. What’s important now is finding Mandy.” I turned to the officer and asked, “Officer, do we have the right to press charges against Mandy?”
