Chapter 6

ผู้เขียน: Ophelia
Selena tore the pages out of her hands.

"No."

"She only shared a few little things."

"She's smart. There's no way she'd really stop loving us."

The Empath didn't argue. She just turned to the first page.

"First share. Mother and daughter."

"The relief she felt the first time she heard her mother's voice through the mind-link. Age four."

"Shared in full. Permanent."

The blood drained from Selena's face.

She looked down the page.

At three, I was sick, and she held me all night and wouldn't let go.

  • They Tricked Me Into Giving Away All My Love   Chapter 10

    Half a year later, I left pack territory.The Sharing Hall asked me to join a new program to protect people like me.I used my own case to push for changes. Family members now had to go through a separate review. Core bonds came with a waiting period before any share. And every donor had to hear the risks, out loud, before signing anything.The head Empath asked me if I regretted it.I thought about it for a long time."If someone had stopped me back then, I would have thanked them.""But it happened. I don't want to spend the rest of my life waiting for something that can't come back."Starting over wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.I made new friends. I learned a new job. I started writing down a little of every day.On the first page of my journal, I wrote one line.Love that's really mine will never ask me to prove it by giving myself away.The family still sent me messages.Selena said good morning and good night, every single day.Victor moved all his shares into a trust a

  • They Tricked Me Into Giving Away All My Love   Chapter 9

    Ella found me three days later.She sat down across from me and didn't touch her coffee."Every night, I lie in bed and I feel it.""Your love for Mom and Dad. It's like wearing somebody else's coat.""I'll go back to the Hall. I'll give all of it back to you."I shook my head."The Empath already told you. It's yours now.""But it came from you.""Dad said it was to make it up to me. That's the only reason I took it.""I didn't know they'd really push you to give up everything."Her shoulders were shaking."I just wanted to stay in that house.""I was scared that once they had both of us, they'd think I wasn't as good as you.""So I told them you didn't like me. I brought up the trust fund on purpose. I played pitiful in front of Arthur.""And that message in the group chat. About wanting to be closer to Mom and Dad.""I sent it because I knew you'd see it.""I didn't think it would turn into this."I looked at her.Maybe she hadn't planned the test.But she had enjoyed every single t

  • They Tricked Me Into Giving Away All My Love   Chapter 8

    The next morning, I had the pack's law Elder draw up three documents.The first was a formal end to my engagement.The second, a sworn release giving up my share of the pack trust fund.The third, a notice that I was cutting all financial ties with the Alpha's family.Arthur showed up just as I finished signing the first one.He slapped his hand down on the paper."I don't agree to this.""This engagement isn't just about you.""It's an agreement between two families."The Elder spoke up."Under pack law, a bond has to be freely chosen by both sides.""If Miss Ivy says no, there's no engagement."Arthur didn't even look at him.He set our engagement photo down in front of me."You told me your biggest dream was marrying me.""You started planning our wedding when you were fourteen.""The venue, the dress, the invitations. You picked out every single thing."I glanced at the photo."Do you remember why the girl in this picture had been crying?"His face froze.That photo was taken the d

    After the banquet, the whole family rushed to the Sharing Hall that same night.Victor slammed the record down on the counter."Reverse it.""Give it back to her."The head Empath glanced at the clock."Alpha Victor, we told you more than once. Core bonds can't be reversed.""Then I'll pay double.""Ten times. Name it.""This family has plenty of money."The head Empath shook her head."This isn't about money.""A shared feeling settles into whoever receives it. It roots itself in their own memories. It stops being Ivy's.""If Ella gave it back, Ivy would only feel Ella's love for you. Not her own.""And right now, there's nothing left in Ivy's heart for it to hold on to."Selena gripped the edge of the counter. She could barely stand."Then I'll remind her.""I'll tell her every single day. Sooner or later, she'll feel something again.""You can build new feelings with her."The head Empath paused."But the old ones are never coming back."Selena finally broke. She covered her face an

Permanent."The blood drained from Selena's face.She looked down the page.At three, I was sick, and she held me all night and wouldn't let go.At five, I danced at my first Moon Festival, and she sat in the front row and clapped the loudest.At seven, my wolf broke loose for the first time, and she kissed my forehead and promised she would never leave me behind.And three thousand four hundred and twenty-one mornings, brushing out my hair and braiding a vine circlet into it before training.A red stamp sat beside every single line.Selena's tears fell onto the paper."Ivy, how could you give these away?""I only wanted you to grow up

  • They Tricked Me Into Giving Away All My Love   Chapter 5

    The whole ballroom went silent.Ethan looked down at his empty hand like it belonged to somebody else.His voice cracked."Ivy... you're backing away from me?"Selena's smile had frozen on her face."Ivy, stop this."She reached for me again. I moved back before she could touch me.That one small step hit her like a slap. The color left her cheeks.It used to be that no matter how hurt I was, the moment she opened her arms, I would run straight into them.Now there was nothing in my eyes but caution."Luna Selena, please don't."Her hand stopped in midair."What did you just call me?""Luna Selena."I said it politely. The way any wolf in the pack would."That's your title, isn't it?"Ethan snapped out of it first."Ivy, are you done with the act?"He placed the hunting knife in my palm."Look at this.""Your sixteenth birthday. I gave you this knife after you begged me for years to teach you how to hunt. Remember how you used to follow me into the woods every morning?"I looked down a
