The Daughter They Forgot Twice Chapter 10
From the day of my Moon Farewell ceremony, Mother carried the urn containing my ashes everywhere.She kept it beside her pillow at night and placed an extra setting across from her at every meal.One evening, she set a thick slice of roasted venison before my urn.“Ivy, I made this myself. I hope you like it.”My spirit hovered beside her as I looked at the meat covered in rich gravy.“My stomach was always weak. I couldn’t eat anything that heavy.”Mother’s hand stopped. As if she had heard me, she removed the venison and replaced it with a bowl of mild herb broth.“All right. We’ll have something lighter.”Tears slipped down her face as she adjusted the bowl.Father watched from the doorway. He did not try to comfort her. He knew he had no right to tell her to let go when he had forgotten me too.Several days later, while Mother slept, Father ordered two warriors to take my ashes to the family burial grounds. He believed completing the moon burial might help her accept that I was gon

For one brief moment, I almost admired Brielle.She was cruel, but she understood the truth better than anyone else in that corridor.None of them could deny what she had said.Mother approached the stretcher and lifted the sheet. She gently brushed the hair away from my forehead, staring at the injuries covering my face.“This is my fault,” she finally whispered.Father sat on the floor with his bleeding hand over his face.“One of the guards warned me that the cliff was unstable. I chose to stay anyway.”His voice faded.“I never wanted her to die.”Brielle’s words had stripped away Adrian’s last excuse.He lunged at her and knocked her to the floor.“You killed her!”Brielle pushed herself up and glared at him.“What right do you have to blame me?”“Every time Ivy tried to tell the truth, you were the first person to silence her. You saw the evidence, but you kept making excuses for me.”She gave him a bitter smile.“I only gave you a reason to punish her. You were the one who locke

Brielle struggled against Adrian’s grip, clawing at his wrist as he held her against the wall.She had never imagined that the brother who had always protected her would expose everything in front of their parents.“What are you talking about?”“You knew?”Father rose from the floor and stared at Adrian.“You knew she lied about the stairs, saw what the recording crystal showed, and still protected her?”Adrian said nothing.His silence answered for him.Mother steadied herself against the wall and watched the stretcher disappear at the end of the corridor. She had promised me that no one in the Silver Moon Pack would ever overlook me again.Yet I had chosen to hide in a storage closet and sleep on a planting bed in the conservatory rather than ask my family for help.“So Ivy was telling the truth.”Mother turned toward Brielle, her fingernails digging into her palms.Father crossed the corridor and slapped Brielle across the face.Adrian released her, and she fell against the wall, on

My consciousness hovered above the corridor as the healers covered my body with a white sheet and wheeled me toward the preservation chamber below the healing center.The elder healer’s words still echoed through the hall.My body had never responded to their attempts to draw me back.Mother watched the stretcher disappear down the corridor, and her knees gave out. Father caught her, but her weight dragged them both onto the cold stone floor.He drove his fist into the wall, and blood ran over his knuckles. “I should have looked for her. Why didn’t I even know which room she was staying in?”Adrian sank to his knees. “No. How could she be dead?”He suddenly scrambled up and chased after the stretcher. Grabbing the edge of the sheet, he pulled it away from my face.The healers had cleaned the dirt and blood from my skin. Only my bloodless face and closed eyes remained.Adrian used to accuse me of putting on a miserable expression so everyone would feel sorry for me.Now that I could no

The warriors carried me down the mountain in an emergency carriage while the healer held the moonwell crystal against my chest. Its blue light kept the faint rhythm of my wolf heart from disappearing before we reached the pack’s healing center.My parents, Adrian, and Brielle waited outside the healing chamber as the healers began the awakening ritual. A blue moonlamp above the door showed that the treatment was still underway.Adrian stood apart from the others with my blood on his hands. He repeatedly tried to restore the moonstone’s severed bond, but the stone remained dark.Mother finally turned on him. “She sent the signal. A warrior heard her knocking, and you still ordered everyone away.”“I believed Brielle saw her in the forest,” he said. “I thought Ivy was trying to make us search for her again.”“You gave her that moonstone so we would know when she was in danger.” Mother’s voice shook. “Then the first time she used it, you decided she was lying.”Adrian lowered his eyes to

The search continued deep into the night.The storm covered every trace almost as soon as it appeared. Pack warriors spread through the forest in different directions, but none of them found my tracks. Adrian questioned each group through the pack link and received the same answer.No one had seen me.Father finally faced Brielle. “Are you certain Ivy entered this forest?”Brielle stood inside Mother’s cloak, her face pale from the cold. “I am. The snow may have covered her tracks, or she may have gone much farther than we expected.”Adrian answered for her. “Tracks disappear quickly in a storm like this. Ivy lived in the forest near the orphanage for years. She knows how to hide her trail better than Brielle does.”Mother ordered the warriors to widen the search.At the rear of the group, the young warrior who had heard the knocking kept looking back toward the ruined lodge. When the others disappeared among the trees, he returned alone.I followed him as he knelt at the place he had
