เข้าสู่ระบบThe Silver Moon Pack has a tradition. Every female wolf about to have her bonding ceremony receives a flower crown woven from Moonshadow flowers. These flowers only bloom near the Moon Goddess statue and must be handpicked by family members. It represents the Goddess's blessing and the family's love. My twin sister, Stella, and I share the same birthday. But our older brother, Blake, only brought back one crown. It was intricate and gorgeous. Stella squealed in delight. Our mother, Eleanor, affectionately stroked Stella’s hair, telling her she would always be her shining pearl. Our father, Richard, added sternly that if Stella’s future mate ever bullied her, he would make him pay. No one thought anything was wrong. I asked Blake, "Where's my crown?" He looked awkward. "I just wanted Stella's crown to look perfect, so I used up all the Moonshadow flowers around there." My mother clicked her tongue impatiently. "So he used them, big deal. We'll just pick a few roses from the garden for you when the time comes. Stop throwing a tantrum over such a little thing." I watched my family huddle around Stella, and finally accepted the fact that they didn't love me. When my future mate asked me if I really wanted to move our bonding ceremony up by a day, I replied without hesitation, "Yes, let's do it."

Try it, Cora."I sat down, and Jasper gently pushed me from behind.The evening breeze was cool and refreshing.From then on, I sat under the tree for a little while every evening.A lot happened back at my old home.I knew because Blake still sent messages often. I guess he figured I was reading them."Mom just sits in your room spacing out. Call her, if you can.""Stella isn't doing well. She and her future mate fought constantly. She came home every other day demanding we stick up for her.""But Dad refused.""She severed the mate bond. She's back home now.""Mom learned how to cook a lot of new dishes. She's waiting for you to come home.""Cora, are you ever coming back?"I was eating blueberries Evelyn brought me when I read that last text.My hand slipped, dropping a berry
There was only one message from my father."Your new flower crown is ready. Pick it up when you get back."He had always been stern and quiet. Whenever there was a dispute, he just handed down the final verdict.Like a judge passing a sentence. Except I was always the losing party.The fact that he sent this meant he was bowing his head. I knew that, but I didn't want to accept it.I didn't read any more messages, nor did I block them.I just hadn't decided how to deal with them yet.Exactly a month after Jasper and I bonded, it was my birthday.Evelyn ordered a massive, multi-tiered cake.Written in icing: "Happy Birthday to our dearest Cora."She cooked a massive feast again. I tried to go in and help several times, but she kept shooing me out."You're the birthday girl today. You don't lift a finger."I sat on the couch, a little dazed.In the past, whenever Stella and I had a birthday, only Stella's name was on the cake.Because when we were little, she cried and said she didn't wa
Over the next few days, Blake left early and came home late, trying to track Cora down.He went to Cora's old company and introduced himself as her brother.A coworker who had attended Cora's ceremony looked at him with sheer mockery."You're Cora's brother? That's funny, I didn't see you at her bonding ceremony.""Are you sure you're family?"Blake felt like he was choking, unable to get a single word out.Finally, the coworker sent him a video of the ceremony.In the video, Cora's eyes were crinkled in a bright smile, her face glowing with a happiness completely unlike the silent, gloomy sister he remembered.As Blake retreated in shame, he heard the coworker muttering behind him."Calls himself a brother? Doesn't even know his sister got bonded. Who would believe that?""Man, I can't imagine what kind of life Cora lived before."Blake's back stiffened. He remembered the day Cora left.Everyone in the house was screaming at her. He had personally pinned her shoulders down, cursing he
(Third-person POV)It was the day of Stella's bonding ceremony, and the whole family was up early.Blake saw Cora's bedroom door shut tight and naturally assumed she had snuck back in last night with her tail between her legs.He knocked a few times. When no one answered, he impatiently threw the door open.Only to find Cora wasn't home at all.He yelled out in panic."Mom, Cora's not in her room! Did she not come back last night?"His mother froze."Impossible! Is she not doing her ceremony today?"Blake walked out of the room, his face dark."She didn't take any luggage."His father waved a hand dismissively."Don't worry about it. She probably just went straight to the chapel in a huff. Since when does she actually run away?"Mother suppressed the rising panic in her chest and agreed."Stella, hurry up and get ready. We'll head to the chapel first.""Your ceremony is the most important thing today."When the family arrived at the chapel, Father reminded the priest, "We have two coup
