Just then, Carl received a phone call.

The next second, all the color drained from his face.

He yelled, "Aunt Cordelia, Uncle Josiah, bad news! The police want you back at the manor immediately! S-Sara died in a fire!"

Aunt Clara's eyes widened in disbelief, and she collapsed to the floor.

Carl's eyes turned red as he screamed hysterically, "Your house caught fire last night! Sara was burned alive! Yesterday, she was still at that party, smiling as she accepted my gift! How could she have d

  • Perfect Stand-In: I Became My Dead Sister   Chapter 10

    Dad eventually succumbed to grief and exhaustion, and he passed away one morning.Without his care and attention, the therapists at the rehabilitation center had to restrain Mom forcibly. Every day, she was confined to a wheelchair, left with nothing to do but stare blankly at the empty walls.Just then, a Werewolf Warrior arrived with a report. Because of the fire at my house, the pack had reopened the investigation into my sister's death in the fire 20 years ago. Attached to the report was a newly discovered copy of Leah's diary. The words written there were unmistakable. "Life has gotten so boring. Tomorrow, I'm going to set the forest on fire and have some fun."It turned out Leah's death had never been an accident. She had been fooling around and looking for a thrill, but she ended up burning alive in the flames. She wasn't just a worthless nobody, but she was also a total idiot.When Mom saw the report, the perfect image of Leah she had built in her mind shattered.

  • Perfect Stand-In: I Became My Dead Sister   Chapter 9

    After that day, Mom went completely insane. The Elders intervened in the investigation and determined that my parents were suspected of negligent homicide.Dad spent all his money on the fine, which allowed him to avoid prison. However, he sent Mom to the pack's rehabilitation center.Mom lay in bed in a hospital. She had become so thin that she was just skin and bones. In just a few days, her hair had turned completely white. She looked like an 80-year-old woman.When Leah died, my parents were already in their 40s. After having me and watching all these years pass, they were well over 60. When I was little, I would look at photos of Leah with our younger parents. I was always jealous and worried. I was jealous that Leah had known them when they were young, unlike the old and stern parents I knew. I was afraid that they would grow up and die before I even had the chance to grow up. It was ironic how I had ended up dying before them.In the rehabilitation center, Mom sp

    After unblocking my number, hundreds of messages popped up on Mom's phone. Before she could check them, Aunt Clara called. However, she hung up immediately.Aunt Clara didn't bother wasting time with words and sent her a high-resolution photo from the scene of the fire. "Do you hate Sara that much? She's dead, and you won't even come see her?"The moment the photo popped up, Mom tapped to view the full image with trembling hands. The horrific aftermath of the fire filled the entire screen.There was no body in the room, only a pile of ashes. What caught her eye was a charred, pure-silver candlestick in the corner. This was the very thing every werewolf avoided at all costs. "Pure silver… How could there be pure silver?"Mom's lips trembled as she gripped Dad's arm tightly. "Say something! How did that candlestick end up there? If she was hurt, why didn't she call for us?"Dad staggered, barely able to stay on his feet. "She did… Last night, she was calling for her when w

Sara was burned alive! Yesterday, she was still at that party, smiling as she accepted my gift! How could she have died in a fire in her room?"Mom and Dad stood frozen in place, completely stunned.Several seconds passed before Mom finally returned to her senses. She laughed mockingly, as if she had just heard the funniest joke. "A fire? She burned to death? What kind of farce did she put on now? Carl, you've been deceived! She's always been like this, putting on an act for attention! And now, she actually has the nerve to use her death to threaten me?"Dad also refused to believe it. "That's right! She

    After daybreak, they didn't return to the manor. Instead, they went to Aunt Clara's house.Along the way, Mom was still planning her future with Dad. "Now that she's gone, our family can finally be whole. From now on, we'll just live with Leah's statue."The car stopped in front of Aunt Clara's house. When Aunt Clara opened the door and saw them, she looked surprised as she asked, "What are you doing here? Where's Sara?"Carl also came out of the house and glanced behind them.Mom's face turned cold as she plopped down on the couch. "Sara's no longer my daughter. I've decided to cut ties with her! Don't you like her? You think I've treated her unfairly, right? You can have her instead!"Aunt Clara frowned and started arguing with Mom. "Are you insane? You're refusing to let Sara become a Werewolf Warrior and destroying her future. And now, you want to throw her out too? "She's your flesh and blood. How can you be so heartless?"Mom shot to her feet and started screaming a

  • Perfect Stand-In: I Became My Dead Sister   Chapter 5

    When a werewolf died, its soul would instinctively drift toward the person they were most closely related to by blood. Therefore, my soul was forcibly drawn to Mom and Dad.In the dead of night, Mom and Dad were kneeling before Leah's tombstone in the cemetery.Mom clung to the tombstone, sobbing, while Dad's eyes reddened with tears. Mom cried, "Leah, it's been 20 years, and I still can't forget you."It turned out they had abandoned me in the fire to check on Leah. Ever since I was old enough to remember, they had come here without fail on every full moon to keep vigil over Leah. But they had never once brought me along.When I was little, I thought they were secretly going to the amusement park. All the other pups had gone with their parents, and I was the only one who hadn't. I mustered the courage to tug on Mom's sleeve, and for the first time, I begged, "Mom, I want to go too."However, she glared at me with red eyes as though I had done something bad. She scolded
