Synopsis

Remorse Family

Childhood Sweethearts

After Death

Familial Bond

My adopted sister, an Omega who has always seemed delicate, harmless, and wolf-less, vanishes the night before full moon. Everyone, including my parents and my mate—the Alpha who's supposed to protect me—blames me for driving her away. They drag me to the Memory Offering altar, bind my wolf in silver chains, and demand the truth from my memories. Little do they know that my body has been laced with 99 silver needles, buried deep under my skin, each one driven in by the hand of the innocent girl they adore the most. The silverbane has seeped through my blood, eating away at my bones and my wolf spirit. I don't have long. So, I seize control. I invoke the oldest rite in the pack, the Memory Offering, to let them see the truth with their own eyes. For three years, I've been the one who was framed, humiliated, and tortured. Meanwhile, my so-called gentle sister is the real monster behind it all. By the time the truth is revealed, the silverbane has devoured my soul. Bathed in the blinding white light of the rite, I die on that cold, stone altar, with a pain that cuts to the bone and a peace that feels almost like freedom.

Chapter 1
On the seventh day that my adopted sister, Tiffany Ross, went missing, Mom's eyes had gone bloodshot, her face pale as a sheet. She hadn't slept in a week. With the full moon approaching, her anxiety drove her to the edge.She gripped my hand, her tears soaking my palm. "Please, Seraphine, tell us where Tiffany went! You must know where she is!"Before I even had the chance to deny it, Dad plunked down a letter. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. "Look—she left behind this letter. Are you going to keep on pretending?"I had read that letter. Every word in it dripped with unfounded sorrow and accusations.Seven years ago, I was taken by a Rogue and forced to survive alone out on the wild plains. I spent years fighting to stay alive until my family found me three years ago and brought me home.During the year I disappeared, Mom and Dad, overcome with grief, adopted an Omega girl a year younger than me. That was how Tiffany came about.The first time I met her, I th

Chapter 2
I knelt on the stone seat at the center of the altar. Cold silver chains wrapped tightly around my wrists and ankles, binding the very core of my wolf.The sacred fire flickered before me, its glow casting solemn light across the faces of the surrounding elders.Instinctive fear made my whole body tremble, but I forced myself to raise my head high as the Ritual Elder etched a glowing silver sigil onto the center of my forehead.That sharp pain burned straight into my spirit.Just as the sacred flames were about to touch my blood, Eric grabbed my wrist."Are you still not telling us where Tiffany is, even at this point?" he questioned, his eyes reminiscent of a frozen lake with rage boiling beneath the surface.Tears blurred my vision as I shook my head. My throat was too tight to form a single word.In his eyes, my surrender was defiance.With a flick of his hand, he tore himself away from me. His voice cut colder than the chains around my wrists. "You've disappointed me for th

Chapter 3
Tiffany paused in the middle of making the bed, a faint smile curling at the corner of her lips. "You're smart, Sera. I thought you wouldn't notice."She whispered, her eyes glinting with something cruel, "That's right. I did it. I concocted the stench potion myself. Smells just like beast droppings, doesn't it?"A sharp pain clenched my chest. I wanted to ask why she was doing this to me, but she suddenly squeezed out tears and turned to run out of the room.I followed in shock, only to see her throwing herself into Mom's arms."Mom, it's my fault…" Tiffany cried. "I shouldn't have said anything about Sera's smell. She got really upset, and it's all my fault."Startled by her crying, Dad immediately came over to comfort her. Mom, on the other hand, gently wiped her tears away.They stood at the doorway, showering me with only cold glares and not a single word of comfort.That memory, torn open by the flames of the Memory Offering, brought tears streaming down my face once more.

Chapter 4
The elder's hands moved slowly through the sacred flames, drawing glowing sigils in the air. The fire hissed low in warning."Alpha Stephan," he said gravely, "her wolf has already endured two offerings. If we force a third, the consequences may be irreversible. It's not just the pain—her soul could scatter. It may never return."Mom's voice trembled with hesitation, breaking the heavy silence. "But… It's been seven days since Tiff disappeared. If she's still out there, who knows what's happened to her? I can't… I can't wait any longer."If Seraphine loses her wolf, then so be it. We'll care for her… for the rest of her life."Her voice cracked and dissolved into sobs.Dad was silent for a long time, his gaze cold and sharp as a blade. "Proceed! Whatever the cost, I must find my daughter!"Even Eric said nothing. He merely pressed his lips together, giving a quiet form of consent.The flames roared to life, and so the third offering began. I was dragged into the deepest reaches

Chapter 5
My soul hovered above my own body, suspended in that cold, flickering hall of rite and fire. What surprised me was that I didn't immediately dissolve into the night.Drawn by something unseen, I drifted through the massive obsidian doors and lingered above them, watching.Eric, the Alpha I had once trusted without hesitation, sat shrouded in the shadows, a cigar between his fingers. Smoke curled through the dimness, his face dark with an emotion barely held in check.Dad's fists were clenched so tightly that the veins on his arms bulged, as if he might shatter the stone walls with his bare hands.And Mom… Tears streamed endlessly down her face. No matter how frantically she tried to wipe them away, they kept falling, carving silent lines down her cheeks.There it was, my answer—they all saw it.The sacred fire blazed, casting every image from the Memory Offering into the air—three years' worth of humiliation and pain. Every lash mark, every cruel sneer, and every unspoken wound w

Chapter 6
The air, laced with the remnants of blood, shifted, carrying me away from the altar like a torn soul adrift.I drifted slowly and weightlessly until I found myself hovering at the edge of familiar territory—home.Mom, Dad, and Eric, who had rushed back in a panic, saw Tiffany curling up at the front steps of the villa.She looked a mess—clothes torn, hair tangled, and her eyes wet and glinting like a frightened pup who had lost the shelter of her pack.The moment she saw them, she broke down, sobbing. "Mom, Dad, Eric, I missed you guys so much…"She staggered to her feet, legs shaky and unsteady, then collapsed again onto the ground and cried, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have come back, but my money got stolen… It's not that I want to cling to you guys."I'm just too hungry… One meal—I'll have one more meal before leaving…"Tiffany thought the three would rush over and wrap her in their arms, comforting her and promising to bring her home without question. But she waited, and no one

Chapter 7
"Tiff… You didn't have to feel this way. Even if Seraphine is our biological daughter, that doesn't replace the weight you hold in our hearts," Mom said, bending down.With tears shimmering in her eyes, she pulled Tiffany into a tight embrace, choking out, "Seraphine has a blood bond with us, an imprint left by the Moon Goddess. But regardless, you've always been the daughter we love the most."Dad's expression softened, too. He wiped the moisture from his eyes and spoke steadily and warmly, like a whisper deep in the night forest."Once Seraphine comes back, you must apologize to her. If she forgives you, you can stay and continue as a member of the pack."Tiffany snapped her head upward, her pupils shining with joy. She nodded eagerly and answered, "Of course! I'll apologize to her with a sincere heart! If Sera won't forgive me, I'll stay outside the pack's gate under the moonlight until she does!"Eric turned away coldly. "Seraphine is very sensible and kind. As long as you're

Chapter 8
Mom, Dad, and Eric returned to the altar in silence. This was the sacred place where werewolves offered their memory.Now, it was empty. Only the faint glow of moonlight flickered on the cold stone walls, and not a single figure was in sight."What's going on? Did Seraphine leave on her own? Why didn't she tell us?" Mom snapped with a mix of panic and blame as she searched every corner. "We came all this way for nothing!"Frowning, Eric immediately called Elder Yosef over. "Where is she? Is she with you?"Elder Yosef's voice trembled with fear. "Alpha Eric, we're at the hospital. Ms. Rayne is…"…They rushed to the hospital. Even then, Mom was still complaining in annoyance."It was just a Memory Offering. How did she end up in the hospital? Tiff's an Omega and more fragile by nature, but she never collapsed after a rite. Is Seraphine's body really that much weaker?"However, the moment she pushed open the door and saw me lying motionless on the cold hospital bed, her voice cra

Chapter 9
The room fell into an eerie silence. Mom and Dad were stunned, even forgetting to cry.Eric lowered his gaze, then stared coldly at Dad. "So, are you going to mindlessly defend Tiffany?"Without waiting for an answer, he declared firmly, "Whatever you do, I swear I'll make her pay for what she did!"Dad's body trembled as if struck by lightning. "Why? Why would the universe punish me like this? They're both my daughters!""No!" Mom interjected. "Seraphien is our only daughter, and I'll never let the one who killed her go!"She wiped away her tears, her expression now filled with hatred like never before. "An adopted Omega, having the audacity to kill my daughter? She deserves to die!"I stared at her in surprise, shocked by her reaction.Wasn't she always in favor of Tiffany? If she could choose, I bet Mom would rather her real daughter be her. Why the sudden change of attitude after I died?Even Eric became strange. He looked at me with deep affection, as if I were his most pr

Chapter 10
Hearing the news of my death, Tiffany visibly lit up with joy.She struggled out of Mom's hold and asked, "Mom, is that true? Is Seraphine actually dead? But how could it have anything to do with me? I was away for a week!"Now that she's dead, you have more reasons not to kick me out! I'm the only daughter you have left!"She then looked at Eric. Despite her swollen face, she put on a trace of affection that was so fake it made one nauseous."Eric… You like me more, don't you? Now that she's gone, I can finally become your mate! Go on—tell Mom to get off my tail!"Tiffany then turned to Dad. "I guess I'm the only one you can rely on from now on, Dad! You're old, and she's dead. Can you even bear to lose me as well?"Curious, I similarly looked at him to find out where he stood in the end.My logical, calculating dad—known for weighing every option—then did something completely uncharacteristic. He approached Tiffany and delivered a single, powerful kick that sent her flying."
