I was the traitor everyone in the Flame Pack loathed. I was the former Alpha's sister, and at the Flame Pack's darkest hour, I abandoned my mate and my baby daughter and defected to our enemy, the Dark Moon Pack. I even killed my own brother and climbed over his corpse to become the Dark Moon Pack's Beta. Two months ago, gravely wounded, I collapsed on the Flame Pack's border. The guards on patrol threw me into prison and tortured me for information. I never said a word. My former mate, Eugene Carter, now the Alpha of the Flame Pack, kept delaying my execution on the grounds that there wasn't enough evidence. That angered everyone. Furious crowds took to the streets, marching and demanding the traitor be put to death at once. So Eugene's current mate, Edna Parker, proposed putting me on trial with the Memory Crystal. The Memory Crystal extracts a person's most important memories and projects them for everyone to see. The price is agony beyond human endurance, followed by death and the complete dissolution of the condemned person's soul. For ten years, Edna had passed along countless messages that helped the Flame Pack resist the Dark Moon Pack. Her contributions had been immense. Everyone supported her proposal, certain the Memory Crystal would prove my guilt once and for all. Eugene agreed. But none of them knew that the truth they were about to uncover with their own hands was far crueler than anything they had imagined.

The Memory Trial and the Blue Ghost Chapter 8
AudreyEugene collapsed to his knees in front of me, his composure finally gone."Why? Why didn't you tell me?"When they threw you into prison and tortured you, why didn't you say a single word?!"You did all of this for us. Why didn't you ever tell us?!"If you had spoken sooner, I would never have listened to Edna or started the Memory Crystal trial. What do I do now? How can I save you? Tell me how to save you!"Did you think I wouldn't believe you? Do you trust me that little?"I raised a blood-streaked hand and gently wiped away his tears. My voice was barely audible."I trust you. I've always trusted you."I just didn't want any of you to spend the rest of your lives feeling guilty. I didn't want you carrying the weight of this past."Mrs. Hayes was good to me. If she were still alive, she wouldn't want to see Edna suffer. So please don't pursue this any further, all right?"Eugene wept. "Other people. It's always other people. Audrey, is there nothing you want to say to me?"My

AudreyEdna crawled to Eugene on her hands and knees and clung to his leg, sobbing uncontrollably. "Eugene, everything I did was for the Flame Pack! For you!""I never knew who was sending that intelligence. If I'd known it was Audrey, I would never have taken credit for it, I swear."Eugene looked down at her, cold and unmoved. "That doesn't excuse lying to me about gathering the intelligence yourself."Edna choked out, "I stayed by your side for eight years. I raised Hermia like my own child. After everything I've done, do I still mean less than a woman who hasn't come back to see you in fifteen years?"Fifteen years, Eugene. Fifteen whole years she stayed away, and you were kept in the dark from beginning to end. Everything she did was for her brother, for the Flame Pack, or for her daughter. Was any of it for you?"Which of us loves you more? Can you really not see it?"The accusation struck Eugene exactly where it hurt. He looked at me, his eyes turbulent with emotion.Hurt. Grief
The Memory Trial and the Blue Ghost Chapter 6
AudreyThe memory opened with me walking down the main street of the Dark Moon Pack. A name stopped me mid-step."Did you hear? The Flame Pack Alpha's daughter, Hermia, has come down with some strange illness.""What illness?""Scales, growing all over her body. Itching and burning. They say she ran into the Phantom Forest after a fight with Eugene and got bitten by the Seven-Star Serpent."The other speaker sounded delighted at the news. "The Seven-Star Serpent! Then she'll grow scales head to toe until her skin rots off and she dies. Serves her right.""Yeah. Unless she gets the serpent's antivenom. But who would risk their life going after the Seven-Star Serpent for it?"The two of them wandered off, laughing. All the color had drained from my face.A moment later, once I had made up my mind, I sprinted toward the Phantom Forest without hesitation.I staked out the Seven-Star Serpent's favorite hunting ground for three days and three nights before it finally appeared.The serpent wa
The Memory Trial and the Blue Ghost Chapter 5
AudreyMrs. Hayes's face was unfamiliar to the crowd. No one remembered ever seeing her.Only Edna's reaction was unusual, but every eye was fixed on the vision, and no one noticed.In the memory, I stepped into the cabin and drew a box from inside my cloak.It held no intelligence, no evidence. It held... a stuffed doll.The instant Hermia saw the doll, she cried out, "That's the birthday present I got when I turned eight! It was from you!"Mrs. Hayes took the box and sighed. "You send Hermia a birthday present every year, and she never even knows. It also raises the risk that you'll be exposed. Is it worth it?"I gave her a tired smile. "I can't be there to watch her grow up. As her mother, this is the only thing I can still do for her."Mrs. Hayes was quiet for a moment. "Audrey, I'm a mother too. I understand.""Thank you, Mrs. Hayes," I said gratefully. "You're the only person left in the world who knows I'm undercover. There are so many things I can only say to you. Thank you for
