Author: Cheesie
A few days later, Bella returned to school to complete the paperwork for her departure.

Mother somehow found out and arrived at the school gates early that morning. She carried a lunchbox filled with all of Bella's favorite dishes from childhood.

The moment Bella saw her, she turned around and walked away.

"Bella, I'm not here to bother you. I just wanted to see you."

She held out the lunchbox. "These are all the foods you've loved since you were little. I made them especially for you. You'v

    A few days later, Bella returned to school to complete the paperwork for her departure.Mother somehow found out and arrived at the school gates early that morning. She carried a lunchbox filled with all of Bella's favorite dishes from childhood.The moment Bella saw her, she turned around and walked away."Bella, I'm not here to bother you. I just wanted to see you."She held out the lunchbox. "These are all the foods you've loved since you were little. I made them especially for you. You've always had a weak constitution, so take them with you and eat more."Bella did not take it. "I don't want it."People passing by kept glancing in their direction. Mother's face tightened with embarrassment, and she lowered her voice. "Be good, Bella. Take it. Whatever you have to say, we can talk about it at home. Don't let everyone laugh at us."Bella let out a harsh laugh. "We don't even have a home anymore. What is there left to be embarrassed about?"Mother's eyes immediately turned re

    When she got home, she carried my backpack into my room and sat on my bed, slowly sorting through everything inside. As she went through the compartments, she found a diary tucked into one of the inner pockets.The first few pages were filled with excuses I had made for her.[Mother doesn't hug me because she wants me to learn how to be independent.][Mother doesn't punish Bella because Bella's wolf spirit is fragile and can't handle it.][Mother made me write Bella's apology again today. She must think I'm more mature and responsible.][If I just behave a little better, she'll love me eventually.]The farther she read, the messier my handwriting became. Mother's hands began to tremble harder and harder.On the final page, there was only one line: [If I really get another life, I want a different mother.]Mother looked as if someone had plunged a knife straight into her heart. She shook her head frantically, collapsed onto the floor, and sobbed like her heart was being torn apa

    Mother was taken to the territory council hall.I followed behind her. For the first time, I saw her sitting in that cold interrogation chair.The guards asked her why she had put lethal wolfsbane into a bottle of Nightblood. She lowered her head and kept explaining herself."I only wanted to teach my younger daughter, Bella, a lesson."She became obsessed with drinking cough syrup. I told her so many times that she needed to stop once her cough was gone, but she wouldn't listen. She was already in poor health. Medicine can be harmful if you take too much, and I was afraid her body couldn't handle it."I thought if she saw her sister get poisoned and understood how serious the consequences could be, she'd be too scared to drink it again."The guard stared at her. "So, you knew there was poison inside, yet you deliberately left it somewhere a cub could reach?"Mother suddenly raised her head. "I diluted it with Moon Spring water! I really did dilute it with a lot of Moon Spring w

    After returning from the Moon Goddess Grove, Father slammed a mate bond dissolution agreement onto the stone table."Sign it."The color drained from Mother's face. She looked at Father, then at Bella, as if she had finally realized that this family truly did not want her anymore."Seth, I know I was wrong." She rushed over and clutched desperately at Father's pant leg. "I won't cause trouble anymore. I'll never make Xena take Bella's punishments again. I'll change. I swear I'll fix every mistake I've made. Can't we start over? Just give me one chance. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to her."Father looked down at her without a trace of emotion in his eyes. "She's already dead. How exactly are you going to make it up to her?""I can visit her every day. I can buy her dresses and make her favorite foods. Whatever she wanted when she was alive, I'll give it all to her now."Father suddenly laughed. However, as he laughed, tears began to fall."When she was alive, all s

    "Xena! I'm sorry! Please come back!" Mother threw herself in front of my grave and clawed desperately at the dirt with both hands.Her nails split and began to bleed, but she acted as if she could not feel the pain. She dug harder and harder, screaming my name over and over."Xena, come out... Please, come out and look at me... I'll never yell at you again... Please wake up..."Father stood behind her at some point, watching everything with icy eyes. "Stop pretending to be sorry."Mother's hands froze.Father's voice was hoarse. "I spent most of my time away from home handling territory business, so I left both cubs in your care. When Bella wanted to buy two drinks on credit, you insisted she was stealing and made Xena apologize in front of all those people."When Bella lost her pack mark and it was discovered, you didn't even think about helping her look for it. Instead, you made Xena take the whipping in her place."When Bella got sick and became addicted to cough syrup, all y

    From that day on, Mother completely lost her mind. She stayed beside my body every second of the day, fighting anyone who dared to come near.When a healer brought over a white sheet to cover me, Mother snatched up a pillow and hurled it at him. Her voice was so shrill that it sent chills through the room."Don't cover her! She's still alive! Are you trying to suffocate her?"The healer stumbled back two steps. He could only sigh helplessly before turning around and leaving.The moment the door closed, Mother turned back toward me. The anger vanished from her face instantly, replaced by a gentleness I had never seen before.She brought over a basin of warm water and a clean piece of soft cloth. Sitting beside my bed, she gently lifted my hand."Good girl, Xena. I'm going to clean you up... Once I get you clean, you'll wake up."She lowered her head and carefully wiped each of my fingers, one by one. She was so thorough that she even cleaned beneath my nails.Her touch was impos
