Chapter 9

Autor: Palma W
The last thing I heard before I passed out was my dad asking why I'd gotten out of the car on my own. When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was that same angry, exhausted face.

I tried to say I was sorry.

Instead, a booming howl burst out of me, and the healer sorting medical tools beside me jumped.

My sister was leaning against the car door. She'd been looking stern, but in the end, she couldn't help laughing. "Even your apologies are a lot louder than they used to be."

  • The Alpha’s Daughter They Mistook for a Dog   Chapter 12

    In the sixth week after my wolf spirit woke up, I finally managed to shift into human form.The first thing I did as a human was wait until my dad's back was turned and snatch the last piece of roast meat off the plate with my teeth."Mia!" My dad turned around, saw me, and froze for two seconds before scrambling to grab the clothes he'd gotten ready ahead of time. "Put some clothes on first!"I stood in the middle of the living room and looked down at my hands. Each hand had five slender fingers, and faint scars from the silver burns still marked my palms. I made a fist and opened it, over and over. I finally didn't have to scratch marks into wood with my claws to say what I meant.Sierra heard the commotion and burst into the room. She picked me up and spun me around twice, then checked every scar left on my body like she was inspecting a patrol member's gear, complaining that I was too skinny."And this." She shoved a thick coat at me. "It's cold up in the mountains. No more running

  • The Alpha’s Daughter They Mistook for a Dog   Chapter 11

    The day Grant was removed as Alpha, there was no screaming, no fighting, and no dramatic protest.He arrived at the Black Pine council hall as usual and, out of habit, told someone to get the door for him. The patrol member at the door stayed where he was, the sealed silver guns in his arms."Sorry, Mr. Grant," the patrol member said. "An interim leader is in charge here now."Grant froze.Five days had passed since the arson at the mine. My neck was still wrapped in bandages, and my left back leg was in a brace. I hadn't wanted to go out. But Lucy said all the kids Black Pine had hurt would be there today to confirm what would happen to them next. I couldn't stop worrying, so I pestered my dad into bringing me.My dad moved my cushion to the break room next door and left the door open, so I could see and hear everything that happened in the council hall. Sierra guarded the door and didn't let anyone with silver weapons near it.In the past, Grant could summon dozens of bodyguards with

  • The Alpha’s Daughter They Mistook for a Dog   Chapter 10

    In the end, I was the one who tore the bag holding Lucy's original videos from Violet's arm.Violet had been plotting one last way out.Lucy's phone had the full, unedited videos. Sierra had only managed to save a few clips, and most of the original footage hadn't been backed up yet. While the healers were busy taking in the wounded, Violet sent her driver to steal the phone from the nurses' station. She planned to throw it into the lodge's incinerator to destroy the evidence, then force Finn to change his story and tell everyone he'd been teasing the hounds for fun.When I saw her circle back to the ambulance, my dad was on the other side, arranging shelter for the victims. Finn had just fallen asleep, and Lucy had tucked him in and turned to pour some water. The ambulance door suddenly flew open, and Violet reached in to drag the little wolf off the cot."Come with me," she threatened in a low voice. "Tell everyone you're the one who provoked those hounds. As long as you do what I sa

She'd been looking stern, but in the end, she couldn't help laughing. "Even your apologies are a lot louder than they used to be."I looked down at myself. My front paws were wide and thick enough to cover an entire old blanket. My silvery white fur hung past my shoulders, and my tail wasn't a tiny puffball anymore. It looked like a broad white broom with a pointed tip.Before I could even celebrate, the healer picked up a pair of scissors and cut through the old gauze on my neck. The second she touched the wound, I flinched back into my dad's arms, and all the dignity of my newly awakened wolf spirit vanished."Don't move," the heale

  • The Alpha’s Daughter They Mistook for a Dog   Chapter 8

    No matter how hard the rabbit holes in Silver Moon Valley were to squeeze through, they were nothing compared to the narrow drainage ditch in that abandoned mine.By the time we got to the mine, it was almost completely dark. The mountain wind carried the smell of rust and damp, rotting wood. Sierra took her people to guard the entrance to the mountain road, Ethan went to search the old warehouse, and my dad stayed with me in the armored vehicle. I lay by the window. Every movement of my back leg tugged at the wound, and the healer's warning kept echoing in my ears.I was staying put in the car like a good girl.Until a familiar smell drifted up from the bottom of the hill.Finn's blood, mixed with the burnt smell of silver searing flesh.I threw myself at the car door frantically, my paw pointing again and again at the drainage ditch down the slope. Sierra heard the noise and ran over. She followed my paw and spotted a wooden board behind the weeds, sealed tight over the drain opening

  • The Alpha’s Daughter They Mistook for a Dog   Chapter 7

    The silver chain left more than 30 burns on my neck. When the healer took off the last layer of bandages, my dad looked as if those wounds hurt him more than they hurt me.Stop staring at me. The more you stare, the slower the healer works.Of course, I couldn't actually say it. All I could do was wag my tail so it brushed his hand. But the moment my tail moved, it pulled at my wounds, and I curled into a ball, wincing.Joanna came to help with the treatment too. Violet had confiscated her work badge, but Joanna still insisted on examining me. She put the silver collar in an evidence bag and explained to us that a grown werewolf's wolf spirit could be disrupted by silver, and because I'd never shifted, my body was especially fragile. That was why I looked so much like an ordinary pup.My dad stroked my head. He was quiet for a long time before he spoke. "You've been our girl from the very beginning. Nothing about that has ever changed."I felt proud and teary at the same time.Before l
