00:00At midnight, my soul floated out of the basement. My bedroom door was shoved open.
00:05My brother, Scott, barged in, scoffing when he didn't see me.
00:09Aren't you a little old to be playing hide and sneak and throwing tantrums?
00:12Normally, I would have argued back. But this time, I just floated beside him,
00:16unable to make a sound. Scott called my phone. It went unanswered. Annoyed,
00:22he raked a hand through his hair and casually flipped through the journal on my desk.
00:25There was only one thing written inside, 99. The number of times they had let me down over the
00:31Veyers. Scott didn't get it. He frowned, tossed the journal onto the floor, and left a voicemail.
00:37Stop with the stupid games. Miranda wants your homemade cookies,
00:40so get back here and make them for her. It's her graduation day. Don't you dare ruin it.
00:44Get home within the hour and I'll forgive you. Scott pocketed his phone and returned to the
00:50living room. Chelsea's not in her room and she's not answering her phone.
00:55She always does this. Blows things out of proportion, disappears,
00:58and waits for us to beg her to come back. We've spoiled her.
01:02Dad said finally. No one contact her to this time. Let's teach her a lesson.
01:06She can cool off on her own and she'll come crawling back tomorrow.
01:11Miranda drifted over, gently tugging on Dad's arm, her face a mask of concern.
01:15Dad, don't say that. What if thing really happened to Chelsea? Maybe I should text her?
01:20You know Chelsea and I are so close.
01:22She lowered her eaves, the very picture of an innocent, gentle fawn.
01:26I watched as she pulled out her phone, her slender fingers tapping on the screen.
01:30Hope you enjoyed getting marked up by those guys. Who are you seeing now?
01:35The party was a blast, BDFU. Thanks for not showing up.
01:39It would be so much better if you'd just drop Dad.
01:42After sending it, she deleted the message and typed a new one.
01:45Sister, are you okay? We're all so worried about you. If you're mad at us, just take it out on
01:51me. Please, just come home.
01:55She held the phone up for everyone to see, a perfect portrait of a caring, considerate sister.
02:00Mom pulled her into a hug.
02:02You're always so kind, Miranda. This has nothing to do with you. Chelsea is just being immature.
02:09Immature? A bitter laugh escaped my ghostly form, though no one could hear it.
02:13In their eyes, it was always about Miranda.
02:15Who would even remember that today was supposed to be the day I received my Distinguished Service Award, an honor
02:20given only once every two years.
02:22Knowing they would all be celebrating Miranda's graduation, I had told them not to bother coming to my ceremony.
02:27I never tried to compete with Miranda for their affection, but just as I was about to leave for the
02:32ceremony, three rogue wolves had burst in and dragged me into the basement.
02:36I struggled, terrified.
02:40How did you get a key to our house?
02:42One of the men dangled a keychain in front of me. It was Miranda's.
02:47Don't bother struggling. You're not leaving this basement today.
02:52I won't tell anyone, I promise. Please, just don't kill me. I'm begging you.
03:04In the end, they ignored my pleas. They pinned me down, violated me, and bit my neck raw, taking countless
03:11photos amidst their foul taunts.
03:13I fought with all my might, and in the struggle, my head slammed against the corner of a table.
03:17Blood gushed out instantly. Terrified, they fled.
03:20I summoned the last of my strength, dragging myself across the floor to my phone and licking the screen to
03:26dial for help.
03:27Every werewolf can feel when a family member is in mortal peril through their pack bond, but they all just
03:31thought I was vying for attention.
03:33Not only did they decline my calls, but they even sent me a message.
03:37Faking suffocation again? Drop the act.
03:40Your father and I don't have time for your drama.
03:43We've already severed our pack link to you.
03:48Only my mate, Ryan, picked up.
03:52Help me.
03:55Ryan, I'm dying.
03:59Chelsea, cut the drama. This is Miranda's big day.
04:03There's a limit to your attention seeking.
04:05I already told you I'd make it up to you with a graduation present.
04:11Ryan, I was already dying.
04:14A bitter smile touched my lips.
04:16Too bad. You'll never get the chance to make it up to me.
04:19Within 24 hours, the stench of decay will start to drift from the basement no one ever enters.
04:24Miranda always said she wished I were dead, so no one would compete with her for your love.
04:28Now, her wish has come true.
04:59You'll never get the chance to make it up to you with a girl.
05:24My spirit was trapped in the living room, forced to watch their cozy family scene.
05:29My father, who usually went to bed early, was wide awake, sitting with Miranda as she opened her graduation gifts.
05:36My mother was picking out stunning dresses online, promising a whole new wardrobe for Miranda's trip.
05:42Mom, I already have so many clothes. My closet is full.
05:46Then we'll put them in Chelsea's room.
05:48She's always so focused on her duties, she never buys new clothes anyway.
05:51She doesn't need the closet space.
05:54Is that okay? Chelsea will be upset.
05:56Mom frowned.
05:58Miranda, you don't have to be so timid.
06:00This is something Chelsea should do for you as her older sister.
06:04Scott sat nearby, diligently shelling pistachios for Miranda.
06:08I couldn't say a word, just watching the warm scene unfold.
06:11Turns out, a spirit can cry.
06:14The warmth was theirs, the loneliness was mine.
06:16But Chelsea's still not back, and she's not replying to my texts.
06:20Is she still mad at us?
06:21I feel so terrible with her not here.
06:24At the sound of Miranda's voice, the three of them finally shifted their attention from her and remembered me.
06:29Dad frowned instinctively.
06:31Don't mind her.
06:32She just wants us to revolve around her.
06:35When will she ever grow up?
06:36Mom's face showed a flicker of impatience.
06:39It's just a distinguished service award.
06:41They give one out every two years.
06:43Doesn't she know Miranda's colliduation only happens once?
06:47Why must she throw a tantrum on a day like this?
06:50Miranda pouted playfully at Mom.
06:52Mom, don't say that.
06:54Chelsea will be sad if she hears you.
06:56She had to practically beg for that award.
06:59Oh, did I just say that out loud?
07:01Though she said that, the triumph in her eyes was impossible to hide.
07:05I knew Miranda was never innocent.
07:07Growing up, her grades were never as good as mine.
07:10Even though Dad, Mom, and Scott adored her and always put her first, Miranda would still occasionally fabricate evidence that
07:17I had plagiarized.
07:18Each time, Dad would beat me without question.
07:21From a young age, I told myself that one day, I would find my own mate and feel what it
07:26was like to be someone's first choice.
07:28Just once.
07:29But I never imagined that two years after meeting Ryan, his heart would also start to drift toward Miranda.
07:35I should have been sad, but perhaps I was already numb.
07:38My soul was too numb to feel so much as a ripple of pain.
07:41The housekeeper brought out a platter of desserts, all of them Miranda's favorites.
07:45Naturally, they stopped talking about me.
07:48Miranda, college must have been tough.
07:50Here, eat more of your favorites.
07:52Dad and Scott kept feeding her, and soon her cheeks were stuffed like a chipmunk's.
07:56She smiled brightly, boasting about he achievements in college.
07:59She'd already landed an internship at a top investment bank on Wall Street.
08:03Her future was boundless.
08:04Dad and Scott listened, showering her with praise.
08:07And I just floated silently to the side.
08:10The clock struck one in the morning.
08:12I still hadn't appeared.
08:13Mom seemed to feel a pang of guilt, finally remembering me.
08:16She placed a few slices of strawberry Tarde flavor Miranda disliked onto an empty plate and handed it to my
08:21brother.
08:22Her expression was a little unnatural.
08:24Scott, save this for Chelsea.
08:27She can have it when she's done with her tantrum and comes back.
08:30Let's not have her think we only favor Miranda.
08:34See?
08:35We saved some for her.
08:37I stared at the tart slices, feeling nothing.
08:40Scott thought for a moment, then reached for the plate.
08:42Suddenly, Miranda shrieked.
08:45Mom, it hurts!
08:47This gift, it's silver!
08:50Dad, Mom, and Scott immediately rushed to her side.
08:53Seeing the red burn like Mark on Miranda's palm, they panicked.
08:57We weren't around any humans at the party.
09:00Which werewolf would send a gift made of silver?
09:03Mom's eyes scanned the room, finally settling on an open gift box.
09:07That gift box, is that Chelsea's?
09:10Miranda immediately looked like she was about to cry.
09:13Mom, please don't blame Chelsea.
09:15The gift was on my bedside table this morning.
09:18I'm just happy she was willing to give me a present.
09:21In an instant, disappointment and rage filled Dad and Scott's faces.
09:24I knew it!
09:26That's why she's been dragging her feet and not coming home.
09:28She was plotting to hurt Miranda.
09:31How could I have such a vivacious sister?
09:34Enough!
09:34Stop arguing and get Miranda to the pack, healer!
09:38Dad kicked the gift box the one Miranda had stolen from my room and slammed his hand on the table
09:42in fury.
09:42We're out of gauze.
09:44I'll get some from the basement.
09:46Miranda's eyes darted around.
09:48Don't go.
09:48The healer will have gauze.
09:51It hurts so much.
09:52If Scott had taken one step closer to the basement, he would have smelled the overwhelming stench of blood.
09:58But it was not to be.
09:59At Miranda's words, the family hurried away, leaving only my spirit floating in the empty living room.
10:05I wanted to scream that I hadn't done anything.
10:08But I could no longer speak.
10:09And I knew that even if I could, they would never believe me.
10:13So be it.
10:14The housekeeper, hearing the commotion, came out to clean up the mess inside.
10:18Miss Chelsea, why do you never learn to protect yourself?
10:24My spirit floated back to my room, seeing the journal on my desk.
10:28A flood of memories washed over me.
10:30When I was 10, our family held the decennial bloodline awakening ceremony.
10:35That day would determine every cub's future status and power within the pack.
10:38Scott was first.
10:40His wolf form was pure black, a symbol of power and future leadership.
10:44Dad looked at him with undisguised pride.
10:46When it was Miranda's turn, her wolf was a rare snow white, possessing a natural aura of peace that calmed
10:52all the pack members around her.
10:53Mom held her, calling her the family's treasure.
10:57Not wanting to disappoint my parents, I stepped onto the awakening platform filled with anticipation.
11:01But when my wolf form appeared, everyone fell silent.
11:05My wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf.
11:07No special abilities, no rare coat color, so plain that I would be lost in a crowd of pack members.
11:12From that day on, I became the family's common one, someone not worth investing resources in.
11:18Even after I achieved the highest academic honors, they still believed bloodline determined everything.
11:24Scott and Miranda enjoyed all the favoritism and resources.
11:27And I, like my wolf's bloodline was ordinary.
11:30Expendable.
11:31My spirit followed Miranda to the healer's clinic.
11:34Before long, my mate, Ryan, burst in.
11:37He rushed straight to Miranda's side, grabbing her hand and anxiously examining the red mark on her palm.
11:42His eyes were wild with anguish.
11:44How did this happen?
11:46What did the healer say?
11:49Ryan, don't be like this.
11:52It's not Chelsea's fault.
11:54She probably just wanted to surprise me and forgot for a moment that we were wolves can't touch silver.
12:00The more understanding she acted, the darker Ryan's face grew.
12:04He looked up, his voice seething with anger.
12:07Chelsea, where is she hiding now?
12:09Miranda, don't be sad.
12:11I'll make sure to teach her a lesson for you.
12:14We hadn't completed our mate bond, so he couldn't sense my death, much less know that I was right beside
12:19him, watching him in silence.
12:21After leaving the clinic, Ryan called my phone.
12:24When it went unanswered, he left a message.
12:26Chelsea, how could you be so vibration, using silver to harm your own sister?
12:30I always thought you were kind, but you'd do something like this out of jealousy?
12:34I was on my way to give you your award gift.
12:37It's a family heirloom, a pendant to congratulate you.
12:40But now, you don't deserve it.
12:42Consider this your punishment.
12:44You'd better pray Miranda is okay.
12:46Otherwise, consider our mate bond ceremony cancelled.
12:49I listened to his accusations, my heart too weary to even feel a thing.
12:54I should have known long ago, we had fought over Miranda many times before.
12:58During a hunting training session, he had been completely focused on Miranda's agile form.
13:02When I tripped over a root, he just called me clumsy.
13:05When we ate together, he never remembered that I couldn't handle spicy food, yet he could personally bake over 20
13:11different kinds of desserts to make Miranda happy.
13:13I argued with him about these things countless times, only to be told,
13:18You're overthinking it.
13:19I just think of Miranda as a little sister.
13:22His coldness made me feel like a possessive lunatic.
13:25But I loved him so much.
13:27I thought his presence was a gift from the moon goddess, that he could be mine and mine alone.
13:31I was wrong.
13:33So completely wrong.
13:34My parents loved Scott and Miranda for their bloodlines.
13:38Why did Ryan love her?
13:39I didn't know, and now I'd never have the chance to find out.
13:43Because now, whether I fell or was beaten, I would never feel pain again.
13:48After midnight, Dad, Mom and Scott finally returned home, exhausted.
13:52I floated in a corner of the living room and heard my mother sigh.
13:58It's a shame Ryan's bloodline isn't strong enough for Miranda.
14:02They'd be perfect together.
14:04Look how attentive he was at the clinic.
14:07My spirit froze.
14:08Yes, Ryan is quite capable, and I think Miranda likes him too.
14:13It would be perfect if they were mates.
14:15But these things are guided by the moon goddess.
14:19Don't overthink it.
14:20Ryan's bloodline isn't worthy of our precious white wolf.
14:24It's better to let him be with Chelsea.
14:26Their gray wolf bloodlines are a better match.
14:29Even if he completes the mate bond with Chelsea, he can still dote on Miranda.
14:33Then looked up and noticed the house was dark.
14:36A faint, metallic smell hung in the air.
14:39Looks like the moonstones in the house have run out of energy.
14:43Scott, go to the basement and get a new one.
14:45Scott grunted in agreement and strode toward the basement.
14:48The closer he got, the stronger the metallic smell became.
14:51His wolf instincts made him frown, but he dismissed it as a dead rat in the house.
14:57What's that smell?
14:58Dad and mom followed him toward the basement door.
15:01Scott pushed it open.
15:02A thick, nauseating stench of blood and decay rushed out to meet them.
15:06In the darkness, a body lay in a pool of dried, blackened blood, its eyes not fully closed.
15:12Chelsea?
15:13Scott froze.
15:14My name a choked whisper on his lips, but dad was the first to react.
15:18His stunned expression twisted into a scowl.
15:20Chelsea, are you out of your mind?
15:23Have you had enough of this?
15:26Pulling a stunt like this just for attention?
15:28Mom chimed in.
15:30Chelsea, are you out of your mind?
15:33Have you had enough of this?
15:35Pulling a stunt like this just for attention?
15:37My spirit floated beside them, watching them yell at my cold corpse.
15:41They still didn't believe I was dead.
15:43They thought this was just my latest ploy for sympathy.
15:46Scott finally snapped out of his trance.
15:48He strode forward and kicked my arm impatiently with the toe of his boot.
15:53Stop acting, get up!
15:55My body shifted slightly on the floor, but otherwise, I was still.
15:58That sent him over the edge.
16:01I said, get up!
16:03Scott bellowed, and his next kick sent my body rolling over.
16:06The impact revealed the fatal wound on the back of my head,
16:10along with the countless bite marks scarring my neck.
16:12For the first time, I saw true panic on their faces.
16:16Panic for me.
16:17Her body, why is it so cold?
16:21Mom's voice trembled.
16:23She was finally realizing something was terribly wrong.
16:26Dad's expression finally shattered.
16:28A werewolf's body temperature is naturally higher than a human's.
16:32If I were faking it, my body couldn't possibly be this cold, this stiff.
16:36Drop the block.
16:38We blocked our pack link to Chelsea.
16:40Drop it now.
16:41Let's see if she can be alive.
16:43Dad, Mom, and Scott closed their eyes, concentrating,
16:47trying to find my faint light within the pack's spiritual bond.
16:50One, two, three.
16:53Scott's eyes flew open first, all the color drained from his face.
16:57He staggered back a step, his body hitting the wall with a dull thud.
17:01Dad went rigid, his lips starting to tremble uncontrollably.
17:05Mom's face, a mask of scorn and anger moments before, dissolved into pure terror.
17:09Where my life force should have been, there was only a cold, silent void.
17:14I watched their expressions, wondering if they could feel even a fraction of the pain I had endured.
17:18No, impossible.
17:21Mom collapsed to her knees and crawled toward me.
17:26Chelsea, Chelsea is really dead.
17:28While my family home descended into chaos, Ryan was blissfully unaware that I was gone.
17:32He had gone back to the clinic to see Miranda again.
17:35My spirit followed him, watching as he gently changed the bandage on her hand.
17:40Does it still hurt?
17:41Ryan's voice was softer than I'd heard it in a long, long time.
17:45Miranda shook her head, her eyes glistening with tears.
17:48Not anymore.
17:49Not when you're here.
17:51Chelsea went too far.
17:52When she finally shows, I swear I'll make her regret it.
17:56Don't blame Chelsea.
17:57Her fingers tightening around his hand.
17:59She was probably just desperate for everyone's attention.
18:01The sight of her pain only tightened the knot of protectiveness in his chest.
18:06Miranda, you're too kind.
18:07She hurts you like this, and you still defend her.
18:11I just worry about her.
18:13Miranda whispered, leaning into Ryan's arms.
18:16Chelsea has been so lonely her whole life.
18:19She just needs to be loved.
18:22Ryan stroked her hair.
18:24What she needs is a lesson, not love.
18:27Selfish people like her only know how to hurt others.
18:31Look at your hand.
18:32Look what she did to you.
18:34Miranda sobbed against his chest.
18:36Ryan, I'm scared.
18:38What if my sister hates me?
18:40She won't get the chance.
18:42Ryan said, holding her tight.
18:44I'll protect you.
18:45I won't let anyone hurt you.
18:47Including Chelsea.
18:49I floated nearby, listening to them paint me as a villain.
18:52They spoke of my viciousness, my selfishness.
18:55But who among them knew I was already a cold corpse?
19:00Ryan, I've always wanted to tell you.
19:03What is it?
19:05I know you feel differently about me.
19:10And I...
19:11Ryan was silent for a long moment.
19:14Miranda, we can't.
19:16Why not?
19:17Her expression wounded.
19:19You don't love Chelsea?
19:20The entire family can see it.
19:23My ghostly form stilled.
19:24I didn't expect his answer.
19:26I don't love her.
19:27Do I?
19:28Ryan hesitated, then shook his head.
19:31Chelsea is my mate.
19:32We're supposed to have our mating ceremony soon.
19:35Then call off the ceremony.
19:37You said it yourself yesterday, didn't you?
19:40If something happened to me, you'd call off the ceremony with her.
19:43No, Miranda, I can't.
19:45I only said that to teach her a lesson.
19:47Ryan lowered his head, avoiding her gaze.
19:50I've always thought of you as a little sister.
19:54My mate is Chelsea.
19:56It will only ever be Chelsea.
19:57Miranda stared at him in disbelief, fresh tears spilling from her eyes.
20:03My spirit heard his confession, but my heart felt nothing.
20:06Ryan, I'm already dead.
20:08Your love is far too little, and much too late.
20:12Ryan, I always knew Chelsea was more likable.
20:16I don't blame you.
20:18It's my fault for not being good enough.
20:21Miranda cried, clinging to him.
20:23Ryan hesitated, not pushing her away.
20:26Just then, his phone rang.
20:28It was Scott.
20:30It's Chelsea.
20:31She must be home by now.
20:34Miranda, don't cry.
20:36I'll go and sort her out.
20:37He answered the phone, but it wasn't news of my return.
20:41It was...
20:41Ryan, Chelsea's dead.
20:43What the hell kind of mate were you?
20:46Ryan's eyes widened.
20:49Chelsea's...
20:49dead?
20:50The phone slipped from his numb fingers and clattered to the floor.
20:54The memory of my last, desperate calm must have crashed down on him.
20:58He sank to his knees, his face a canvas of dawning horror.
21:02He finally understood.
21:04I wasn't throwing a tantrum.
21:06I wasn't fighting for attention.
21:08I was never coming back.
21:11No.
21:12Ryan sped home, arriving to find Dad in my room, clutching my journal.
21:17He opened it to the first page, and his hands began to tremble.
21:2017, 10th birthday.
21:23The whole family forgot.
21:25Only the housekeeper remembered and bought me a small cake.
21:2823, Miranda got a paper cut.
21:31Mom and Dad stayed up all night with her.
21:33I had a broken bone and had to lie in bed alone.
21:3632, I won first place in the PAX science fair, but Mom and Dad went to watch Miranda's hunting trials.
21:42Page after page, it was a litany of disappointments.
21:4599 entries, from childhood until now.
21:49Every single one was dated, a detailed account of their neglect.
21:52The three of them huddled around the journal, tears streaming down their faces.
21:5745, at the bloodline awakening ceremony, I became the most common gray wolf.
22:01Dad was so disappointed he turned and walked away without a single word of comfort.
22:0648, our anniversary.
22:08Ryan spent the day helping Miranda pick out a dress.
22:10Are we still going to have our mating ceremony?
22:13Moon goddess, please show me the way.
22:1652, Mom said it would be better if Miranda were their only daughter.
22:20Mom, it was my birthday.
22:22The last entry read,
22:23Once it hits 99, I'm done hoping for their love.
22:27It's probably going to hit 99 tomorrow.
22:29They won't remember to come to my award ceremony.
22:32They only care that it's Miranda's graduation.
22:35The journal slipped from Dad's numb fingers.
22:38What have we done?
22:39Mom slumped to the floor, sobbing hysterically.
22:44Chelsea, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
22:47Scott picked up the journal, his hands shaking as he flipped through the pages.
22:51Every number was a needle piercing his heart.
22:53We owed her so much.
22:56She wrote it all down.
22:58And we just took it all for granted.
23:00Ryan stood frozen in the doorway, a silent witness to their grief.
23:04He remembered the past two years.
23:06How I had so cautiously tried to share my academic achievements with him.
23:09I had craved his attention, but he had always been distracted by something or someone else.
23:16I want to give her a proper funeral.
23:18The best funeral the tribe has ever seen.
23:21I want everybody in this family to know that Chelsea was the best thing that ever happened to us.
23:26But it was too late.
23:28An apology can't bring the dead back to life.
23:30I was too tired to care.
23:33A week later, my funeral was held.
23:36All the werewolves who had missed me at the awards ceremony came to pay their respects.
23:40They mourned me, calling me the pack's most brilliant researcher.
23:43But my family had never known that part of me.
23:46All they knew was the troublemaker who fought with Miranda for their affection.
23:49Ryan knelt before my grave all night.
23:53Chelsea, I was wrong.
23:55I was so wrong.
23:56I thought I didn't love you, but now I know I'm nothing without you.
24:00Come back, please.
24:01Yell at me.
24:02Hit me.
24:03Just come back.
24:04But I could never go back.
24:06Mom placed a platter of my favorite desserts in front of my headstone.
24:10She had finally remembered that I loved mango tarts when I was little.
24:13But she remembered far, far too late.
24:16Dad and Scott knelt beside her, repeating my name like a prayer.
24:19They swore they would spend their lives atoning for their sins.
24:22But I didn't need their atonement anymore.
24:25The funeral was grand.
24:27Only Miranda wasn't there.
24:29She claimed she wasn't feeling well and couldn't come.
24:31In reality, she was at home, celebrating.
24:35Celebrating that there was finally no one left to compete with her for love.
24:38While sorting through my belongings, Dad found my moonstone.
24:42If a werewolf dies nearby, a dimmed moonstone will record their final memories.
24:46The realization hit him like a physical blow.
24:48He quickly called Mom and Scott over.
24:50Ryan followed them, a silent shadow.
24:53Chelsea's last moments.
24:55They're saved in here.
24:57We have to see what really happened that day.
25:00They gathered around the stone and placed their hands on it.
25:03It began to glow, and an image of my final moments flickered to life.
25:07I was at home, getting ready to leave for my award ceremony, when I heard a noise downstairs.
25:12Three strange rogues had broken in.
25:15Ah, she's here.
25:16Stick to the plan.
25:18One of the men spoke, dangling a keychain with Miranda's signature charm in it.
25:23You sure no one's gonna come looking for her?
25:26Hey, hey, hey.
25:28Relax.
25:30The whole family's at the little sister's party.
25:32No one gives her about this one.
25:34Another man laughed.
25:35A sinister, grating sound.
25:37Miranda said, if we just rough her up and take a few pictures, she'll get us accepted into the pack.
25:44Remember, don't actually kill her.
25:46Just play a joke.
25:48In the vision, I backed away, my face etched with terror.
25:51Who are you?
25:52Why are you doing this to me?
25:54Don't be scared, little wolf.
25:56It'll be over soon.
25:58They dragged me toward the basement.
26:00Watching this, my family was stunned into silence.
26:03My death wasn't an accident.
26:05It was a setup.
26:06The vision continued, showing me being violated.
26:09I fought back desperately.
26:11My head slammed against the sharp corner of a table, and blood gushed from the wound.
26:15The rogues panicked and fled.
26:17With the last of my strength, I tried to use my pack link to call for help, but the connection
26:22was severed.
26:23The phone calls I managed to make were dismissed as me acting out for attention.
26:27Finally, I lay in a pool of my own blood, my eyes wide with despair.
26:31The moonstone went dark.
26:33Scott was the first to react.
26:35He stormed into Miranda's room, where she was happily trying on new clothes.
26:39It was you!
26:41You hired those guys to kill Chelsea!
26:44Miranda's face went white.
26:45She waved her hands frantically.
26:47No, Scott, what are you talking about?
26:50Look at what the moonstone recorded.
26:52What else do you have to say for yourself?
26:54Scott was so furious he was on the verge of shifting.
26:57Miranda, how could you do this?
26:59She was our sister!
27:01Seeing the irrefutable proof in the moonstone's light, Miranda finally dropped her innocent act.
27:06She shrieked.
27:08I am just kidding!
27:09I never meant for her to die!
27:11She hit her own head!
27:13It's not my fault!
27:15Besides, didn't you all hate her?
27:17Isn't it good that she's dead?
27:19And nutty?
27:20Her hysterical confession stunned mom and dad.
27:23They were only just now realizing that Miranda was never the gentle, sweet girl they thought
27:28she was.
27:28Dad slapped Miranda hard across the face.
27:31You monster!
27:33Chelsea was your sister!
27:35She never competed with you for anything!
27:38We were the ones who wronged her, not the other way around!
27:41Mom collapsed to the floor.
27:43Miranda, we gave you all our love.
27:46Why would you do this?
27:48All your love?
27:50Miranda sneered, a wild look in her eyes.
27:53If that's true, then why did you guys act the way you did after Chelsea died?
27:57You were supposed to only love me!
27:59Unable to take any more, Ryan lunged forward and punched Miranda square in the face.
28:03Shut up!
28:07Chelsea was a thousand times better than you will ever be!
28:11Miranda fell to the floor, blood trickling from her split lip.
28:14Don't act so devoted now, Ryan.
28:16You abandoned Chelsea for me more times than I can count, didn't you?
28:19He was speechless, the shame burning on his face.
28:24I was wrong.
28:25We were all wrong.
28:26Scott stepped toward Miranda, his eyes filled with a terrifying, cold fury.
28:30You killed Chelsea.
28:32You don't deserve to be a part of this family.
28:36Get out, and never show your face to us again.
28:39After being cast out of the family, Miranda's life quickly fell apart.
28:43Without the pack's protection, she could only afford to live in the cheapest,
28:46most rent-down rentals on the edge of human territory.
28:49Soon, the news that she had orchestrated her own sister's murder spread throughout the packs.
28:54A wolf who kills their own kin is an abomination and will be exiled forever.
28:59She tried to find a new pack to take her in, but no one wanted a murderer in their midst.
29:03Stripped of her status, Miranda became a true rogue, despised and alone.
29:08She wandered the streets, a ghost haunted by hunger and cold.
29:11To survive, she was forced to cut deals in the shadows.
29:15Three months later, during one of those deals, she encountered the forbidden fruit.
29:19It was a narcotic that werewolves were absolutely forbidden from touching, a poison for the soul.
29:24She knew the consequences, but she took it anyway.
29:27Only in its hazy bliss could she forget my death, forget the blood on her hands.
29:31The forbidden fruit slowly ate away at her wolf spirit.
29:34Her strength faded, her sanity crumbled.
29:37Finally, she died alone in a filthy, dark alley.
29:41In her last, fleeting moments of clarity, she remembered me being kind to her when we were children.
29:46How I would share my candy with her, and how I would stay with her when she had nightmares.
29:50But it was all too late.
29:52When Ryan heard the news of Miranda's death, his face was a blank mask.
29:56He wasn't the same Ryan anymore.
29:58After my death, he became a hollowed-out shell of the man he'd been.
30:02He quit his job and locked himself in his room.
30:04The walls were covered with my photos, and a picture of us sat on his desk, gathering dust.
30:09He started drinking heavily, started hurting himself,
30:12searching for a pain that could eclipse the one in his soul.
30:15Chelsea, I'm sorry.
30:17I'm so sorry.
30:18It was the only thing he ever said.
30:20He desperately sought out dark magic, trying to find a way to contact the dead,
30:24beg for a forgiveness he knew he didn't deserve.
30:27I could feel his dark summons tugging at my spirit, but I never answered.
30:31A year after my death, Ryan took his own life.
30:33He died in front of my grave, clutching a faded photo of us.
30:37Having lost two sisters and a mate, the crushing guilt finally broke Scott.
30:41He began a frantic hunt for the three rogues who had attacked me,
30:45but was gravely injured in the ensuing fight and left crippled for life.
30:48As for my parents, unable to bear the trauma of their children destroying each other and then
30:52dying one by one, they both succumbed to a severe case of wolf sickness, their minds lost to grief.
30:58They were sent to an isolated treatment facility to keep them from harming themselves or other PAC
31:03members. Of our once proud family, only Scott was left, sitting alone in his wheelchair.
31:08He watched over the empty house, a silent guardian of our old memories. A family portrait hung on the
31:14wall, the last one we ever took together. I was still alive then, still smiling, still holding on
31:20to a sliver of hope for them. But now, it was all over. My spirit drifted through the dilapidated
31:26house, watching this final, tragic outcome. My betrayers had received their punishment,
31:31but I felt no satisfaction. Death had rendered it all meaningless. Moon goddess, if I could do it
31:36all over again, I hope I could live in a family without favoritism, without indifference, without
31:42betrayal. Let me feel the warmth of being truly loved, just once. But in this life, my spirit has
31:48grown weary. Let me finally rest.
