Chapter 8

Author: Stars
The Head Judge frowned. "In all my years as a witch, I have never heard of any ritual that can save an entire pack.

"And according to the Werewolf Authority's findings, Crystal Hale died of blood loss. Both her wrists bore multiple knife wounds."

The Head Judge turned to Morgana, fury plain in her eyes.

"No such ritual exists. You invented that spell out of thin air. You drained a living girl of her blood. What were you after?"

My mother's face turned deathly pale. Only now did she realize the w

  • My Mother Bled Me Dry for the Pack   Chapter 9

    The rival pack's army arrived right on schedule and fought its way into the heart of our territory.But our pack members, believing they had divine protection, weren't the least bit worried. They lounged around, waiting for the disaster to sort itself out."What's there to fear? We've completed the sacrifice. The Moon Goddess will protect us. All we have to do is sit tight at home and wait for the enemy to fall.""That's right. Crystal may be dead, but she saved our entire pack. Her death was worth something.""We'll raise a monument for her when it's over. The highest honor she could ask for."My soul drifted in the sky, quietly watching the fools below.Just then, the Werewolf Authority handed down a verdict, along with a video.For her part in the illegal sacrifice, my mother was sentenced to exile.In the video, she faced the camera with tears streaming down her face, choking on her words. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry."I never should have forced you into the sacrifice. It was a lie f

    The Head Judge frowned. "In all my years as a witch, I have never heard of any ritual that can save an entire pack."And according to the Werewolf Authority's findings, Crystal Hale died of blood loss. Both her wrists bore multiple knife wounds."The Head Judge turned to Morgana, fury plain in her eyes."No such ritual exists. You invented that spell out of thin air. You drained a living girl of her blood. What were you after?"My mother's face turned deathly pale. Only now did she realize the witch had been deceiving her from the very beginning.She snapped. She lunged onto the trial platform and clamped both hands around Morgana's throat, her face twisted with rage as she spat through gritted teeth."You killed my daughter on purpose? Why? Why? What did I ever do to you, that you'd murder my child?"Morgana couldn't breathe with the hands around her throat, foam bubbling at her lips.It took several guards to pry them apart."Give me back my daughter! You'll pay for her life with you

    My mother slowly raised her head and met a face like ice.My father, Grant Hale, stared down at her, his eyes rimmed red, without a shred of warmth.Vivian's gaze flickered, and she instinctively looked away.He seized her shoulders with both hands."Where is my daughter? What have you done with our daughter?"My mother's eyes were vacant. She just kept shaking her head. "I don't know! I don't know, I really don't know!"My father's voice was low and hoarse. "What did you promise me? You said you'd take care of her. How is she suddenly dead?"Do you have any idea what it felt like, the moment I heard my daughter was dead?"Tears streamed down my mother's face as she sobbed, "I did it all for the pack. The witch said only a sacrifice could save us. She promised me it wouldn't hurt Crystal at all. I don't know why our daughter died."My father's face went ashen. He stared at her in disbelief."What did you just say? You used my daughter as a sacrifice?""It wasn't a sacrifice. It was a c

    She fought her way to the front of the crowd and finally saw what was left of me.Blood pooled beneath my body in great sheets, stretching from the curb all the way to the middle of the road.Both my wrists were crisscrossed with knife wounds, not an inch of skin left whole.In places, the ants had gnawed me down to bare white bone.My mother stood frozen. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, couldn't believe this rotting, reeking corpse was her own daughter.She screamed and grabbed my arm, trying to pull me up."Crystal, enough of this. The Werewolf Authority is here. How long are you going to keep this up!"But I was as limp as a rag doll. Every time she pulled me up, I flopped back down.She didn't dare check for breath, didn't dare listen for a heartbeat.She kept telling herself her daughter wasn't dead.The third time I fell, her voice rose, taking on a commanding edge."Crystal, I said get up. Do you hear me! All these people are watching. Stop embarrassing me!"Crystal, g

    The banquet hall fell silent.Every guest turned in unison to stare at the door.Vivian's face shifted. Beside her, Morgana whispered, "Luna, don't believe them. Crystal must have hired these people to put on a show and force you to apologize."At that, the tension drained from my mother's face.She looked at the two men with open contempt."How much is Crystal paying you two to act this out?"The two agents exchanged baffled looks.Then their expressions hardened. "We are agents of the Werewolf Authority. Please take this seriously and cooperate with the investigation."My mother still didn't believe them. She gave the two agents a cold once-over."Not a bad performance. Fine, how much did Crystal pay you? I'll double it. Tell me where she is."If you won't talk, I'll report you to the Werewolf Authority for impersonating their agents."Morgana chimed in, "Exactly. Crystal has gone too far this time. This is a public event, with all these guests watching."If word gets out, it won't j

    The sun had climbed to its peak.My body was starting to give off the stench of rot. A line of ants marched up onto me, gnawing at my flesh.I floated in midair, unable to shout, unable to scream.In the pack's grandest banquet hall, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate surviving the disaster.At the feast, my mother herself announced that I would one day inherit the Alpha's position.Morgana shot her an envious look. "How lucky, being your daughter. Destined for power and status from the day she was born."My mother took a sip of her red wine and said smugly, "Naturally. From the day she came of age, I've been grooming her as the Alpha's heir."Then, as if something had occurred to her, she let out a heavy sigh."If only she understood how much her mother does for her."Everything I do is for her own good, and in the end she resents me for it."A flicker of sympathy crossed Morgana's eyes. "Don't worry. Once she has children of her own, she'll understand."Just then, an Elder wh
