Chapter 8

Autor: Holly
From then on, I settled into a routine at the training center, splitting my time between my room and the studio and devoting myself to my designs.

That peaceful routine didn't last long.

One day, Mira sent me a message.

"Annie, your parents are here. They say they're taking you home. Come downstairs and see them."

My heart sank. I hurried downstairs at once.

The moment Mom saw me, she rushed over and pulled me into a tight embrace, her eyes red with worry.

"You're only 18, and this place

  • Unwanted Twin: I'll Vanish From Their World    Chapter 9

    A few months passed, and the competition Mira had told me about finally took place as scheduled.To my surprise, it was being held in the city where my pack was based.As I stepped off the plane and returned to that familiar city, I felt a strange mix of emotions.The venue was lavishly decorated, and many renowned werewolf designers had gathered to compete.With my designs in hand, I followed Mira to our seats.When I looked up, I spotted Claire in the crowd. She was dressed in a beautiful gown, with my parents standing beside her.Claire noticed me, too, and came over, bringing Mom and Dad with her."Annie, you're competing too? I've missed you so much these past few months while you've been away from home."I stepped away from her outstretched hand and looked at my parents."Didn't you say that designing was a waste of time? Then why did you let Claire study it? And why did you bring her here to the competition?"Mom's face turned pale, and for a moment, she couldn't find

One day, Mira sent me a message."Annie, your parents are here. They say they're taking you home. Come downstairs and see them."My heart sank. I hurried downstairs at once.The moment Mom saw me, she rushed over and pulled me into a tight embrace, her eyes red with worry."You're only 18, and this place has tricked you into coming here. Do you have any idea how worried we've been?"Dad stood beside her, his jaw clenched. He turned to the two local law enforcement officers."I'm Annie's father. Could you please help us take her home?"Embarrassed, I glanced around. Fortunately, everyone else was in class, so there was no crowd of trainees watching us.The officers nodded and asked Mira to show them the center's paperwork.Mira remained composed as she handed over the relevant paperwork. The

    Mom's frantic voice came through the speaker the moment I answered."Annie, why are you only answering now? Do you have any idea how worried your dad and I have been? You just took off without saying a single word! Do you know how worried we were?"I clenched the bedsheets and said nothing.Then Dad spoke, his voice heavy with reproach. "Book a flight and come home right away," he ordered. "Claire's been worried about you all day. She hasn't even been able to eat properly. Whatever the disagreement was, couldn't you have talked it out instead of just walking away?"After a moment, his tone softened slightly."If you left because of Claire, then when you come back, I'll have her apologize to you. How about that?"I listened in silence as the warmth I'd only just begun to feel slowly faded. Not once had they genuinely asked if I was okay. They didn't even understand why I'd left home.To them, I was just throwing a tantrum. They thought all it would take was a little coaxing for

    I arrived in Weychester early in the morning. After getting some rest, I headed to the training center.I'd kept my phone on silent throughout the flight. Once the plane landed, I checked my phone and found a dozen or so missed calls. I couldn't quite sort out how I felt.Still, I didn't dwell on them. I had already made up my mind to leave, so I tried not to let myself overthink things.That home no longer had much to do with me.When I pushed open the doors to the center, I was greeted by an elaborate welcome celebration. Confetti drifted down around me as the woman at the front stepped forward and held out her hand."Annie, welcome to the team."She handed me a bouquet with a warm smile. "I'm Mira Gallagher, and I'll be your mentor from now on. If you ever have questions about your work or need advice on your designs, you can always come to me."Wasn't your birthday a few days ago? I talked it over with the others, and we decided to put this welcome celebration together for

    Mom thought she'd misheard Dad. "Huh?" she asked. "What did you say?"Dad seemed unsure how to explain, so he tried again."Annie isn't home, and some of her things are missing. Do you think she went out because she was upset?"Mom set the medicine and cake she'd bought for Claire on the table, looking displeased."Upset? What does she have to be upset about? We only took Claire out to get her injury treated."As she spoke, she walked farther into the house. When she realized I wasn't there, a trace of panic crept into her voice."Maybe she just went out for a while," she said uneasily. "She'll be back soon.""Don't worry," Dad reassured her. "I'll call her in a bit."Claire's eyes turned slightly red, and she spoke up at just the right moment."Mom, this is all my fault. If I hadn't fallen and hurt myself, Annie wouldn't have been so upset that she left.""It's okay," Mom said, patting Claire's back to comfort her. "This isn't your fault. Your sister is old enough to know

  • Unwanted Twin: I'll Vanish From Their World    Chapter 4

    A few days earlier, the Moon Goddess herself had told me in a dream that Kevin was my fated mate. He was heir to an ancient family in the pack. Known for his cold, distant demeanor, he rarely showed up at pack gatherings. I'd planned to find Kevin and reject the bond before I left. I hadn't expected to run into him so soon. I stepped forward to explain things to him, but he walked right past me and went straight to Claire. Kevin lowered his head slightly, his gaze softening as he looked at Claire. A beat later, Claire lifted her head. She looked sincere as she said, "I'm sorry, Annie, but Kevin can't be your fated mate. He's in love with me. If you let me have him, I'll buy you a new computer or give you all my allowance."I stood there in a daze, remembering how Claire had been away from home so often for a while. Whenever she returned, she'd spend hours on the phone in her bedroom. Mom hurried over to me. "Annie, you can't force someone to love you. Why don't you take
