Chapter 10

Author: Shay
The recording of my dying voice filled the quiet hospital room, each word a gasp through bloody foam.

"Seb, Annie really is your child...

"I can't see anymore. I'm dying. All I'm asking... please give her something to eat..."

Then came Sebastian's voice, so cold and mocking it cut to the bone. In the background, I could even hear Daphne's flirty laughter.

"Even if you really did have a pup, you had it with some stray wolf.

"You want me to claim that bastard? Dream on."

In the recording, I coughe

    She couldn't write a name as complicated as Sebastian yet, so in the blank she drew a big, wobbly black wolf.The black wolf was really ugly, with two big bumps on its head, but its paw was holding tight to a little pup.Martin smiled and patted her head. "Annie, who's this you drew?"Annie turned and looked at the tall man standing outside the school fence in the wind and snow."A bad daddy who cries a lot."Her voice was soft, but the wind carried it clearly to Sebastian's ears.Outside the fence, Sebastian swayed, his eyes so red they looked as though they might bleed.He quickly turned his head away and pressed his sleeve hard against his eyes.Annie came pattering back to the fence and glared up at him with a fierce little face."Didn't you swear yesterday you wouldn't cry? Big boys keep their promises!"Sebastian crouched by the fence and smiled at her. "Daddy's crying because he's happy," he said hoarsely."You cry when you're happy too? So dumb.""Yeah. Daddy's the dumbest."My

    Sebastian glanced at Annie, who was standing outside the door. His gaze was gentle, almost humble."When she's ready to accept me as her daddy, I'll write my name then."Annie stood in the shadows of the hallway with the white urn in her arms and heard every word.On the snowy road back to the main house, Sebastian walked ahead of her to block the wind and snow.Suddenly, he felt a slight tug at the hem of his coat.Annie had reached out two little fingers, pink from the cold, and for the first time, she'd hooked them onto the edge of his coat all on her own.Sebastian froze, hardly daring to breathe.He didn't dare turn around or take her little hand, terrified he'd scare her off.He simply slowed down, careful to keep her tiny fingers resting on his coat."Hey. Tomorrow after school, will you come pick Annie up?"The pup's muffled voice came from behind him."I will.""What if there's a blizzard? Will you still come?""I will.""What if Annie gets sick again and runs a fever and turn

    Annie sat beside him, clutching the urn, watching his every move with a stern expression."There are words Mommy carved here. No glue.""Okay. Daddy won't put any glue there.""Mommy couldn't see properly when she carved these lines. I don't want you to smooth them out.""Okay. I won't touch them at all.""And don't cry on the tablets. You'll wash away Mommy's scent."Sebastian froze, then hurriedly lifted his sleeve and awkwardly wiped away the tears hanging from his chin."Okay. Daddy won't cry. I'll never get Mommy's things wet."Once all 36 bark tablets were arranged by the notches along their edges, the faint marks on their backs formed one final letter.Alongside the bedtime stories for Annie, there was something else.The last few lines at the bottom were addressed to him."Seb, if you're reading this, it means you finally brought Annie home."Sebastian looked like someone had grabbed him by the throat. He didn't even dare breathe hard, but fat tears splashed onto the floor."Do

    Sebastian's head snapped up, and he stared at Daphne like she was already dead."Get out."He grabbed the box of gold alphabet tiles and hurled it at Daphne's feet. Jewels scattered across the floor."But... what about the memorial altar for my brother? And you promised Leo would be your heir!”Daphne panicked and grabbed at his sleeve, crying."Seb, you swore you'd take care of Leo and me for the rest of our lives!"Sebastian kicked her away in disgust, his voice shaking."That was before I knew you'd killed Tina!"That day at the altar, I threw my own daughter into a blizzard just to lay a wreath at your brother's altar!"Daphne, when you had your people break Tina's legs with a silver whip outside that fence, you never once thought this day would come!"Leo was so scared he started bawling. Then he pointed at Annie, who was holding the urn, and screamed."This is all your fault, you little bastard! Just like your blind bitch of a mother!"Mommy had someone pull out her oxygen tube!

    He stood for two whole hours in front of the stinking ditch where Annie used to fight stray dogs for food and dig for scraps of cloth.He went to the underground mine.He looked at the jagged stone steps I'd once crawled up on broken legs, one by one, and at the bloody handprints I'd left on the walls.Then he went to that dark, damp back-alley clinic.He stared at the stone bed still stained with black blood, and at the battered old furnace in the corner where they'd burned my body.Finally, he walked to the broken-down wooden shed at the far end of the slums.The shed didn't even have a door. The wind came in from all sides, and in the corner there was still a pile of moldy straw and half a pot of wild-greens soup frozen solid.Sebastian stood outside the shed, shaking all over. For a long time, he couldn't bring himself to take a single step inside.Maybe now he could finally understand how cold and hopeless it had been for me, missing half my wolf heart and blind in one eye, to liv

Dream on."In the recording, I coughed for a long time, like I was coughing up my insides."Then could you... come see me one last time? Even if it's only to see me after I'm gone..."Sebastian's cruel voice came again. "What are you trying to prove now? How much you love me? Tina, you make me sick."The recording fell into dead silence.At last, I let out a faint laugh."Forget it."Those were the last words I ever spoke—to him or anyone else.Crunch.Sebastian crushed the recording crystal in his fist.
