00:00At midnight, my soul floated out of the basement.
00:03My 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?
00:13Normally, I would have argued back.
00:15But this time, I just floated beside him, unable to make a sound.
00:19Scott called my phone.
00:20It went unanswered.
00:23He casually flipped through the journal on my desk.
00:26There was only one thing written inside.
00:2899.
00:2899. The number of times they had let me down over the veers.
00:32Scott didn't get it.
00:33He frowned, tossed the journal onto the floor, and left a voicemail.
00:37Stop with the stupid games.
00:39Miranda wants your homemade cookies, so get back here and make them for her.
00:43It's her graduation day.
00:45Don't you dare ruin it!
00:47Get home within the hour, and I'll forgive you.
00:50Scott pocketed his phone and returned to the living room.
00:53Chelsea's not in her room, and she's not answering her phone.
00:56She always does this.
00:58We've spoiled her.
01:00No one contact her this time.
01:04Let's teach her a lesson.
01:06She can cool off on her own, and she'll come crawling back tomorrow.
01:10Miranda drifted over, her face a mask of concern.
01:13Dad, don't say that.
01:16What if something really happened to Chelsea?
01:19Maybe I should text her.
01:21You know Chelsea and I are so close.
01:53She lowered her eaves.
01:53phone up for everyone to see.
01:55What a perfect portrait of a caring, considerate sister.
01:59Mom pulled her into a hug, her voice dripping with sympathy.
02:03You're always so kind, Miranda.
02:05This has nothing to do with you.
02:07Chelsea is just being immature.
02:09Immature, a bitter laugh escaped my ghostly form, though no one could hear it.
02:14In their eyes, it was always Miranda.
02:16Who'd even remember today was my Distinguished Service Award, only given once every two years?
02:21Knowing they'd all celebrate her graduation, I told them not to come to my ceremony.
02:26I never tried to compete with Miranda for their affection.
02:29But just as I was about to leave for the ceremony, the front door crashed open.
02:34Three rogue wolves.
02:35They moved fast.
02:37Get your hands off me!
02:38One already had my wrist locked behind my back.
02:41I kicked, connected with someone's shin.
02:43He swore, and shoved me into the wall.
02:46My shoulder hit the doorframe.
02:47They dragged me to the basement.
02:49How did you get a key to our house?
02:51One of the men dangled a keychain in front of me.
02:54It was Miranda's.
02:55Your precious little sister handed it over.
02:58Said you're expendable.
03:00Since mom and dad only care about her anyway.
03:03The little silver keychain she'd had since she was 12.
03:06You'd recognize it anywhere.
03:07My blood ran cold.
03:12You bitch!
03:14Liar!
03:15Miranda would never...
03:18Slamming me against the concrete wall.
03:20Forearm pressed to my throat.
03:22Don't bother struggling.
03:25You're not leaving this basement today.
03:27I won't tell anyone, I promise.
03:28Please, just don't kill me.
03:30In the end, they ignored my pleas.
03:32Pinned me down.
03:34Violated me.
03:35And bit my neck off.
03:36Taking countless photos amidst their foul talks.
03:39Fought all my life.
03:41And I was struggling.
03:41My head slammed against the corner of the table.
03:44My blood gushed out instantly.
03:46Terrified.
03:47Reflected.
03:48I summoned the last of my strength.
03:49Dragging myself across the floor to my phone.
03:52And try to call...
03:53Mom.
03:54Every werewolf senses mortal danger in family through the pack bond.
03:58Yet they all thought I was just seeking attention.
04:01Not only did they decline my calls,
04:03but they even sent me a message.
04:07Faking suffocation again?
04:08Drop the act.
04:09Your father and I don't have time for your drama.
04:12We've already severed our pack link to you.
04:15Only my mate, Ryan, picked up.
04:17Help me.
04:19Ryan, I'm dying.
04:23Chelsea, cut the drama.
04:25This is Miranda's big day.
04:27There's a limit to your attention seeking.
04:29I already told you I'd make it up to you with a graduation present.
04:32But, Ryan, I was already dying.
04:34A bitter smile touched my lips.
04:36Too bad.
04:37You'll never get the chance to make it up to me.
04:39Within 24 hours,
04:41the stench of decay will start to drift from the basement no one ever enters.
04:45Miranda always said she wished I were dead,
04:47so no one would compete with her for your love.
04:50Now, her wish has come true.
04:52My spirit was trapped in the living room,
04:54forced to watch their cozy family scene.
04:57My father, usually an early sleeper,
04:59stayed up,
05:00sitting with Miranda as she opened graduation gifts.
05:04My mother was picking out stunning dresses online,
05:06promising a whole new wardrobe for Miranda's trip.
05:10Mom, I already have so many clothes.
05:11My closet is full.
05:14Then, we'll put them in Chelsea's room.
05:17She's always so focused on her duties.
05:19She never buys new clothes anyway.
05:21She doesn't need the closet space.
05:24Is that okay?
05:26Chelsea will be upset.
05:27Miranda, you don't have to be so timmed.
05:30This is something Chelsea should do for you as her older sister.
05:33Scott sat nearby,
05:35diligently shelling pistachios for Miranda.
05:37I couldn't say a word,
05:39just watching the warm scene unfold.
05:41Turns out, a spirit can cry.
05:43The warmth was theirs.
05:44The loneliness was mine.
05:45But Chelsea's still not back,
05:47and she's not replying to my texts.
05:50Is she still mad at us?
05:52I feel so terrible with her not here.
05:54At the sound of Miranda's voice,
05:56the three of them finally shifted their attention from her
05:59and remembered me.
06:01Dad frowned instinctively.
06:04Don't mind her.
06:06She just wants us to revolve around her.
06:09When will she ever grow up?
06:11Mom's face showed a flicker of impatience.
06:14It's just a distinguished service award.
06:16They give one out every two years.
06:18Do you know Miranda's college graduation only happens once?
06:22Why must she throw a tantrum on a day like this?
06:26Mom, don't say that.
06:28Chelsea will be sad if she hears you.
06:30She had to practically beg for that award.
06:35Oh, did I just say that out loud?
06:39I knew Miranda was never innocent.
06:42Growing up, my grades were always better
06:43than hers.
06:44Yet even with Mom,
06:46Dad and Scott wrapped around her finger,
06:48Miranda would still make up lies
06:49about me plagiarizing.
06:51Dad never questioned it.
06:52He just beat me.
06:53I'd long told myself I'd find my mate someday,
06:56and finally know what it felt like
06:58to be someone's first choice.
06:59Just once.
07:01Two years with Ryan,
07:02and his heart still drifted to Miranda.
07:04I should have been sad.
07:05Maybe I was just numb.
07:07My soul was too numb to feel pain.
07:09The housekeeper brought out a platter of desserts,
07:11all of them Miranda's favorites.
07:14Naturally, they stopped talking about me.
07:16Miranda, college must have been tough.
07:19Here, eat more of your favorites.
07:21She smiled brightly,
07:22boasting about he achievements in college.
07:24She'd already landed an internship
07:26at a top investment bank on Wall Street.
07:28Her future was boundless.
07:30Dad and Scott listened,
07:31showering her with praise.
07:33And I just floated silently to the side.
07:35The clock struck one in the morning.
07:37I still hadn't appeared.
07:39Caught.
07:39Save this for Chelsea.
07:41She can have it when she's done with her tantrum
07:42and comes back.
07:43Let's not have her think we only favor Miranda.
07:46See?
07:46We saved some for her.
07:47I stared at the tart slices,
07:49feeling nothing.
07:51Scott thought for a moment,
07:52then reached for the plate.
07:54Suddenly, Miranda shrieked and snatched
07:56the pain back from where it rested near a gift.
07:58Mom!
07:58It hurts!
07:59This gift, it's silver!
08:03Dad, Mom, and Scott immediately rushed to her side.
08:06Seeing the red, burn-like mark on Miranda's palm,
08:09they panicked.
08:10We weren't around any humans at the party?
08:12Which werewolf would send a gift made of silver?
08:15That gift box, is that Chelsea's?
08:18Mom, please don't blame Chelsea.
08:22The gift was on my bedside table this morning.
08:24I'm just happy she was willing to give me a present.
08:27I knew it.
08:28That's why she's been dragging her feet
08:31and not coming home.
08:33She was plotting to hurt Miranda!
08:36How could I have such a vicious sister?
08:37Enough!
08:38Stop arguing and get Miranda to the pack healer!
08:41Dad kicked the gift box,
08:43the one Miranda had stolen from my room,
08:45and slammed his hand on the table in fury.
08:48We're out of gauze.
08:48I'll get some from the basement.
08:50Miranda's eyes darted around.
08:51She grabbed Scott's arm.
08:53Don't go!
08:54The healer will have gauze.
08:55It hurts so much.
08:57If Scott had taken one step closer to the basement,
09:00he would have smelled the overwhelming stench.
09:02But it was not to be.
09:04At Miranda's words,
09:06the family hurried away,
09:07leaving only my spirit floating in the empty living room.
09:10I wanted to scream that I hadn't done anything,
09:13but I could no longer speak.
09:15And I knew that even if I could,
09:17they would never believe me.
09:19So be it.
09:20The housekeeper, hearing the commotion,
09:22came out to clean up the mess and sighed.
09:24Miss Chelsea,
09:26why do you never learn to protect yourself?
09:30My spirit floated back to my room.
09:32Seeing the journal on my desk,
09:34a flood of memories washed over me.
09:36When I was 10,
09:37our family held the decennial bloodline awakening ceremony.
09:41That day would determine every cub's future status
09:44and power within the pack.
09:46Scott was first.
09:47His wolf form was pure black,
09:50a symbol of power and future leadership.
09:52Dad looked at him with undisguised pride.
09:55When it was Miranda's turn,
09:56her wolf was a rare snow white,
09:59possessing a natural aura of peace
10:01that calmed all the pack members around her.
10:04Mom held her,
10:05calling her the family's treasure.
10:07Not wanting to disappoint my parents,
10:09I stepped onto the awakening platform
10:11filled with anticipation.
10:12But when my wolf form appeared,
10:14everyone fell silent.
10:16My wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf.
10:18No special abilities,
10:20no rare coat color,
10:21so plain that I would be lost
10:23in a crowd of pack members.
10:24From that day on,
10:25I became the family's common one,
10:28someone not worth investing resources in.
10:30Even after I achieved the highest academic honors,
10:33they still believed bloodline determined everything.
10:35Scott and Miranda enjoyed all the favoritism and resources,
10:39and I, like my wolf's bloodline,
10:41was ordinary, expendable.
10:43My spirit followed Miranda to the healer's clinic.
10:46Before long, my mate Ryan burst in.
10:49He rushed straight to Miranda's side,
10:50grabbing her hand
10:51and anxiously examining the red mark on her palm.
10:54How did this happen?
10:55What did the healer say?
10:57Ryan, don't be like this.
11:00It's not Chelsea's fault.
11:02She probably just wanted to surprise me
11:05and forgot for a moment that we werewolves
11:10can't touch silver.
11:11The more understanding she acted,
11:13the darker Ryan's face grew.
11:15Chelsea?
11:17Where is she hiding now?
11:20Miranda,
11:21don't be sad.
11:24I'll make sure to teach her a lesson for you.
11:26We hadn't completed our mate bond,
11:28so he couldn't sense my death,
11:30much less know that I was right beside him,
11:32watching him in silence.
11:33After leaving the clinic,
11:34Ryan called my phone.
11:35When it went unanswered,
11:37he left a message.
11:38Chelsea, how could you be so vicious?
11:40Using silver to harm your own sister?
11:41I always thought you were kind,
11:42but you'd do something like this out of jealousy.
11:44I was on my way to give you your award gift.
11:46It's a family heirloom,
11:47a pendant to congratulate you.
11:48But now, you don't deserve it.
11:50Consider this your punishment.
11:51You'd better pray Miranda is okay.
11:54Otherwise, consider our mate bond ceremony cancelled!
11:57I listened to his accusations,
11:59my heart too weary to even feel a thing
12:01I should have known long ago.
12:03We'd fought over Miranda countless times.
12:05During hunting training,
12:06he only watched her agile moves.
12:08When I tripped,
12:09he just called me clumsy.
12:10At meals,
12:11he never recalled I couldn't eat spicy food.
12:14Yet baked over 20 desserts
12:15just to please her.
12:16I argued with him about these things
12:18countless times.
12:19You're overthinking it.
12:20I just think of Miranda as a little sister.
12:22His coldness made me feel
12:23like a possessive lunatic.
12:25But I loved him deeply.
12:26I thought he was the moon goddess's gift.
12:28Mine alone.
12:29I was wrong.
12:30My parents loved Scott and Miranda
12:32for their bloodline.
12:33Why did Ryan love her?
12:34I didn't know.
12:35And now,
12:36I'd never have the chance to find out.
12:37Because now,
12:39whether I fell or was beaten,
12:40I would never feel pain yet.
12:42After midnight,
12:43dad, mom, and Scott
12:44finally returned home,
12:46exhausted.
12:46I floated in a corner of the living room
12:48and heard my mother sigh.
12:50It's a shame Ryan's bloodline
12:51isn't strong enough for Miranda.
12:53They'd be perfect together.
12:54Look how attentive he was at the clinic.
12:56Yes,
12:57Ryan is quite capable.
12:58And I think Miranda likes him too.
13:00It would be perfect if they were mates.
13:02But these things are guided
13:03by the moon goddess.
13:04Don't overthink it.
13:06Ryan's bloodline isn't worthy
13:08of our precious white wolf.
13:09It's better to let him be with Chelsea.
13:11Their gray wolf bloodlines
13:13are a better match.
13:14Even if he completes
13:15the mate bond with Chelsea,
13:16he can still dote on Miranda.
13:19Then looked up
13:20and noticed the house was dark.
13:22A faint, metallic smell
13:23hung in the air.
13:24Looks like the moonstones
13:25in the house have run out of energy.
13:27Scott, go to the basement
13:28and get a new one.
13:29Scott grunted in agreement
13:30and strode toward the basement.
13:32The closer he got,
13:33the stronger the metallic smell
13:34became.
13:35His wolf instincts
13:36made him frown,
13:37but he dismissed it
13:38as a dead rat in the house.
13:40What's that smell?
13:41Dad and mom followed him
13:42toward the basement door.
13:44Scott pushed it open.
13:45A thick, nauseating stench
13:47of blood and decay
13:48rushed out to meet them.
13:49In the darkness,
13:50a body lay in a pool
13:51of dried, blackened blood,
13:53its eyes not fully closed.
13:55Scott stopped dead.
13:56Chelsea.
13:57Scott froze.
13:58My name a choked whisper
14:00on his lips,
14:00but dad was the first to react.
14:02His stunned expression
14:03twisted into a scowl.
14:05Chelsea!
14:07Are you out of your mind?
14:09Have you had enough of this?
14:10Pulling a stunt like this
14:12just for attention!
14:13Mom chimed in,
14:14her voice sharp.
14:15Get up.
14:15Do you have any idea
14:17how disgusting you look?
14:19You'd stoop to playing dead
14:20just to steal Miranda's spotlight?
14:22My spirit floated beside them,
14:24watching them yell
14:25at my cold corpse.
14:26They still didn't believe
14:27I was dead.
14:28They thought this was just
14:29my latest ploy for sympathy.
14:31Scott finally snapped
14:32out of his trance.
14:33He strode forward
14:34and kicked my arm impatiently
14:35with the toe of his boot.
14:36Stop acting!
14:37Get up!
14:38My body shifted
14:39slightly on the floor,
14:40but otherwise,
14:41I was still.
14:42That sent him over the edge.
14:43Get up!
14:43Scott bellowed,
14:44and his next kick
14:45sent my body rolling over.
14:47The impact revealed
14:48the fatal wound
14:49on the back of my head,
14:50along with the countless
14:51bite marks
14:51scarring my neck.
14:52For the first time,
14:53I saw true panic
14:54on their faces.
14:55Panic for me.
14:56Her body.
14:57Mom's voice trembled.
14:58She was finally realizing
15:00something was terribly wrong.
15:01Why is it...
15:05so cold?
15:07Dad's expression
15:08finally shattered.
15:09A werewolf's body temperature
15:10is naturally higher
15:11than a human's.
15:12If I were faking it,
15:13my body couldn't possibly
15:15be this cold,
15:16this stiff.
15:16Drop the block.
15:17Dad said,
15:18his voice raw.
15:19We blocked our pack link
15:20to Chelsea.
15:21Drop it now.
15:23Let's see if she can
15:24fake being alive.
15:26It was the only way
15:27to be sure
15:28if a werewolf
15:29was truly dead.
15:30Dad, Mom,
15:31and Scott
15:32closed their eyes,
15:33concentrating.
15:34Trying to find
15:35my faint light
15:36concentrating.
15:37Trying to find
15:37my faint light
15:38within the pack's
15:39spiritual bond.
15:41One.
15:42Two.
15:43Three.
15:43Scott's eyes
15:44flew open first.
15:45All the color
15:46drained from his face.
15:47He staggered back a step.
15:50Dad went rigid,
15:51his lips starting
15:52to tremble
15:53uncontrollably.
15:56Mom's face,
15:57a mask of scorn
15:58and anger
15:59moments before,
16:00dissolved
16:00into pure terror.
16:02Where my life force
16:03should have been,
16:04there was only
16:04a cold,
16:05silent void.
16:06I watched
16:07their expressions,
16:08wondering if they
16:09could feel
16:09even a fraction
16:10of the pain
16:10I had endured.
16:11No!
16:12Impossible!
16:16Chelsea!
16:17While my family
16:18home descended
16:19into chaos,
16:20Ryan was blissfully
16:21unaware that I was
16:22gone.
16:22He had gone back
16:23to the clinic
16:24to see Miranda again,
16:25my watching
16:26as he gently
16:27changed the bandage
16:28on her hand.
16:29Does it still hurt?
16:30Ryan's voice
16:31was softer
16:31than I'd heard it
16:32in a long,
16:33long time.
16:34Not anymore.
16:37Not when
16:37you're here.
16:39Chelsea went
16:40too far.
16:42When she finally
16:43shows,
16:44I swear I'll
16:44make her regret it.
16:49Don't blame Chelsea.
16:50She was probably
16:51just desperate
16:52for everyone's
16:53attention.
16:53The sight of her
16:54pain only tightened
16:55the knot of
16:55protectiveness
16:56in his chest.
16:58Miranda,
16:58you're too kind.
16:59She hurts you
17:00like this
17:01and you still
17:01defend her.
17:04I just worry
17:05about her.
17:10Chelsea has been
17:11so lonely
17:12her whole life.
17:13She just needs
17:14to be loved.
17:16What she needs
17:17is a lesson,
17:18not love.
17:19Selfish people
17:20like her only
17:21know how to
17:21hurt others.
17:25Look at your
17:25hand.
17:26Look what she
17:27did to you.
17:31Ryan,
17:32I'm scared.
17:34What if my
17:35sister hates me?
17:36She won't
17:36get the chance.
17:38I'll protect
17:39you.
17:40I won't let
17:41anyone hurt
17:41you,
17:44including
17:44Chelsea.
17:49I floated
17:50nearby,
17:51listening to them
17:51paint me as a
17:52villain.
17:53They spoke of
17:53my viciousness,
17:54my selfishness,
17:55but who among
17:55them knew I was
17:56already a cold
17:57corpse?
17:58Ryan,
17:58Miranda said
17:59softly.
17:59There's something
18:00I've always wanted
18:01to tell you.
18:02What is it?
18:02I know you'll
18:03differently about
18:04me,
18:05she said,
18:05her cheeks
18:05flushing.
18:06And I...
18:07Ryan was silent
18:08for a long
18:08moment.
18:09Miranda,
18:09we can't.
18:10Why not?
18:11Miranda looked
18:12up, her
18:12expression wounded.
18:13You don't love
18:14Chelsea.
18:14The entire
18:15family can see
18:16it.
18:16My ghostly
18:17form stilled.
18:18I didn't expect
18:18his answer.
18:19I don't love
18:20her, do I?
18:22Ryan hesitated,
18:23then shook his
18:24head as if to
18:25clear it.
18:25Chelsea is my
18:26mate.
18:27We're supposed
18:27to have our
18:28mating ceremony
18:28soon.
18:29Then cancel it,
18:30Miranda said
18:31urgently.
18:31You said it
18:32yourself yesterday,
18:33didn't you?
18:34That if anything
18:35happened to me,
18:35you'd cancel it.
18:36No, Miranda,
18:37I can't.
18:37I only said that
18:38to teach her a
18:39lesson.
18:40Ryan lowered his
18:40head, avoiding
18:41her gaze.
18:42I've always thought
18:42of you as a
18:43little sister.
18:43My mate is
18:44Chelsea.
18:45It will only
18:46ever be Chelsea.
18:47Miranda stared
18:48at him in disbelief,
18:49fresh tears
18:50spilling from her
18:51eyes.
18:51My spirit
18:52hurt his
18:52confession, but
18:53my heart felt
18:54nothing.
18:54Ryan, I'm
18:55already dead.
18:56Your love is far
18:57too little and
18:57much too late.
18:58Ryan, I always
19:00knew Chelsea was
19:01more likable.
19:02I don't blame
19:03you.
19:03It's my fault for
19:05not being good
19:05enough.
19:06Miranda cried,
19:07clinging to him.
19:08Ryan hesitated,
19:09not pushing her
19:09away.
19:10Just then, his
19:11phone rang.
19:11It was Scott.
19:12That must be
19:13Chelsea.
19:13She's probably
19:14home.
19:15A flicker of
19:15relief in his
19:16eyes.
19:17Miranda, don't
19:18cry.
19:18I'm gonna give
19:19her a piece of
19:19my mind.
19:20He answered
19:20the phone, but
19:21it wasn't news
19:21of my return.
19:22It was...
19:23Ryan, Chelsea's
19:24dead.
19:24What the hell
19:25kind of mate
19:25were you?
19:26Ryan's eyes
19:26widened.
19:27Chelsea's dead?
19:28The phone
19:29slipped from his
19:30numb fingers and
19:31clattered to the
19:32floor.
19:32He finally
19:33understood.
19:34I wasn't
19:34throwing a
19:35tantrum.
19:35I wasn't
19:36fighting for
19:36attention.
19:37I was never
19:38coming back.
19:41Ryan sped
19:42home, arriving
19:46to find dad in
19:47my room, clutching
19:48my journal.
19:49He opened it to
19:49the first page, and
19:51his hands began to
19:52tremble.
19:52Seventeen, tenth
19:53birthday.
19:54The whole family
19:55forgot.
19:55Only the housekeeper
19:56remembered and bought
19:57me a small cake.
19:59Twenty-three, Miranda
20:00got a paper cut.
20:02Mom and dad stayed
20:03up all night with
20:03her.
20:04I had a broken bone
20:06and had to lie in
20:07bed alone.
20:10Thirty-two, I won
20:12first place in the
20:13PAC science fair.
20:16But mom and dad went
20:17to watch Miranda's
20:18hunting trials.
20:20Ninety-nine entries,
20:22from childhood
20:22until now.
20:24Every single one was
20:25dated, a detailed
20:26account of their
20:27neglect.
20:29The three of them
20:30huddled around the
20:31journal, tears
20:32streaming down their
20:33faces.
20:36Forty-five, at the
20:37Bloodline Awakening
20:38ceremony, I became
20:40the most common
20:40gray wolf.
20:41Dad was so
20:42disappointed he
20:43turned and walked
20:43away without a
20:44single word of
20:45comfort.
20:48Forty-eight, our
20:49anniversary, Ryan
20:50spent the day helping
20:51Miranda pick out a
20:52dress.
20:52Are we still going to
20:53have our mating
20:54ceremony?
20:55Moon Goddess, please
20:56show me the way.
20:58Fifty-two, Mom
21:00said it would be
21:00better if Miranda
21:01were their only
21:02daughter.
21:03It would be better
21:04if Miranda were
21:05their only daughter!
21:06Mom, it was my
21:07birthday.
21:08The last entry
21:09read, once it
21:10hits ninety-nine,
21:11I'm done hoping
21:11for their love.
21:12It's probably going
21:13to hit ninety-nine
21:13tomorrow.
21:14They won't remember
21:15to come to my
21:15awards ceremony.
21:16They only care that
21:17it's Miranda's
21:18graduation.
21:27Mom slumped to
21:28the floor, sobbing
21:29hysterically.
21:30Chelsea, I'm
21:31sorry.
21:31I'm so sorry.
21:33Scott picked up
21:34the journal, his
21:34hands shaking as he
21:36flipped through the
21:36pages.
21:37Every number was a
21:38needle piercing his
21:38heart.
21:39We owe her so
21:40much.
21:41She remembered
21:42everything, and we
21:43just took it all for
21:44granted.
21:44Ryan stood frozen in
21:45the doorway, a silent
21:47witness to their
21:47grief.
21:48He remembered the
21:48past two years, how
21:49I had so cautiously
21:50tried to share my
21:51academic achievements
21:52with him.
21:53I had craved his
21:54attention, but he
21:55had always been
21:55distracted by
21:56something for
21:57someone else.
21:58I'll hold a
21:58funeral for her, the
22:01grandest funeral the
22:02pack has ever
22:03seen.
22:03I want the entire
22:04pack, Elaine, to
22:06know that Chelsea was
22:07our most outstanding
22:08child.
22:09But it was too
22:10late.
22:10An apology can't
22:11bring the dead back
22:12to life.
22:12I was too tired to
22:13care.
22:14A week later, my
22:15funeral was held.
22:16All the werewolves
22:17who had missed me at
22:18the award ceremony
22:19came to pay their
22:20respect.
22:20They mourned me, calling
22:21me the pack's most
22:22brilliant researcher.
22:23But my family had
22:24never known that
22:25part of me.
22:25All they knew was a
22:27troublemaker who
22:27fought with Miranda
22:28for their affection.
22:29Ryan knelt before my
22:30grave all night.
22:32Chelsea, I was
22:33wrong.
22:33I was so wrong.
22:35I thought I didn't
22:36love you, but now I
22:37know I'm nothing
22:38without you.
22:39Come back, please!
22:41Yell at me!
22:42Hit me!
22:43Just come back!
22:44But I could never
22:45go back.
22:46Mom placed a platter
22:47of my favorite desserts
22:48in front of my
22:48headstone.
22:49She had finally
22:50remembered that I
22:50loved mango tart
22:51when I was little.
22:52But she remembered
22:53far, far too late.
22:54Dad and Scott
22:55knelt beside her,
22:56repeating my name
22:57like a prayer.
22:58They swore they
22:58would spend their
22:59lives atoning for
23:00their sins, but I
23:01didn't need their
23:02atonement anymore.
23:03The funeral was
23:03grand.
23:04Only Miranda wasn't
23:05there.
23:05She claimed she
23:06wasn't feeling well
23:07and couldn't come.
23:08In reality, she was
23:09at home, celebrating.
23:10Celebrating that
23:11there was finally no
23:12one left to compete
23:13with her love.
23:16While sorting
23:17through my belongings,
23:18Dad found my
23:19moonstone.
23:20If a werewolf dies
23:22nearby, a dimmed
23:23moonstone will record
23:25their final memories.
23:26The realization hit
23:28him like a physical
23:29blow.
23:29He quickly called
23:30Mom and Scott over.
23:31Ryan followed
23:32them, a silent shadow.
23:34He said, his voice
23:35trembling.
23:36They're saved in
23:37here.
23:39We have to see
23:40what really happened
23:41that day.
23:45They gathered around
23:46the stone and
23:47placed their hands
23:48on it.
23:53It began to glow,
23:56and an image of my
23:58final moments flickered
23:59to life.
24:00I was at home,
24:02getting ready to leave
24:03for my award ceremony.
24:09when I heard a noise
24:10downstairs.
24:14Two strange rogues
24:15had broken in.
24:16She's here.
24:17Stick to the plan.
24:18One of the men spoke,
24:19dangling a keychain with
24:21Miranda's signature charm
24:22met in it.
24:23You sure no one's gonna
24:24come looking for her?
24:28Relax.
24:29The whole family's at
24:30the little sister's party.
24:32No one gives a damn
24:33about this one.
24:33Miranda said if we just
24:35rough her up and take
24:36a few pictures,
24:37remember, don't actually
24:38kill her.
24:39Just ruin her reputation.
24:42In the vision,
24:43I backed away,
24:44my face etched
24:45with terror.
24:46Who are you?
24:47Why are you doing
24:47this to me?
24:48Don't be scared,
24:49little wolf.
24:50It'll be over soon.
24:51No!
