After my brother's mate accused me of bullying her, my brother sent me to the Pack Rehabilitation Center for troubled young wolves.I was finally allowed out after two years, but I had permanently lost my ability to shift because of the abuse. My brother went crazy when he found out.……On my eighteenth birthday, rain poured down as I was finally allowed to leave the rehabilitation center.My brother didn't come to get me."Selene isn't feeling well. Come back on your own," he said over the phone, his voice ice cold.I silently packed my things.In the isolated center, the handlers claimed we disobedient children were possessed by demons. They tortured us daily—burning, electrocuting, and forcing silver-laced potions down our throats under the pretext of "suppressing the demons within us."Each act of resistance was met with even more brutal treatment.The daily torture left permanent damage on my underage body. I discovered I'd lost my ability to shift into a wolf, so I could only sl

I'd been gone too long. This home where my brother and I had lived for over a decade was unrecognizable, transformed into something utterly foreign.The photos of my brother and me that once hung in the living room had vanished, replaced by pictures of him with Selene.The cream-colored sofa I'd begged my brother to custom order was gone, replaced by a pink one I detested.My bedroom had become completely unrecognizable. All my belongings had disappeared, and the entire room reeked of another she-wolf's scent."Is that you, Skye?"Selene emerged from my brother's bedroom with a smug smile dancing on her lips."You've been away so long, so I invited Selene to move in. Her leg—it's permanently damaged from when you burned her with that fire. You should help take care of her." My brother walked over, wrapping his arm possessively around Selene's waist. "I had someone clean out the small attic room. That's where you'll be staying now."I glanced up at the dark room above. A musty odor waft

I couldn't quite read my brother's expression. He seemed displeased.I grew increasingly uncomfortable. I was doing exactly as he wished—being patient and accommodating at every turn. Why was he still dissatisfied?The most excruciating moment was having dinner with them.The table was laden with a feast of delicious foods.My brother carefully placed choice morsels on Selene's plate, making her beam with delight.Meanwhile, I sat quietly with lowered eyes, gnawing on a cold, hard piece of bread."Why aren't you eating any meat, Skye?" Selene asked, pushing a plate of lamb toward me.I didn't touch it, silently pushing it aside."Does Skye have some problem with me? She won't even eat the food I specially prepared for her." Selene's face crumpled with feigned hurt, and my brother's expression instantly hardened."Skye! Eat the food Selene prepared and stop this attitude right now!" he snapped.I raised my head, my chest tight with an indescribable pain."I can't eat this," I said quiet

By the time they rushed me to the Pack healer's clinic, my breathing had grown dangerously faint. Fortunately, the timely medical intervention saved my life.My brother sat beside my bed, completely focused on comforting the weeping woman in his arms."It's all my fault," Selene sobbed, burying her face against his chest. "If I hadn't forced her to eat so much, she wouldn't have gone into shock.""Don't cry, this isn't your fault," he murmured, stroking her hair. "She's the foolish one. She knew her stomach was weak but ate carelessly anyway."Huh. So it was my fault after all."You're awake, Skye!" Selene wiped her tears, turning to me with exaggerated surprise. Her face lit up with fake concern as she approached my bed.My brother spoke before she could reach me. "Why didn't you tell us you weren't feeling well? Why did you insist on eating when you knew you shouldn't?""I did say I couldn't eat it," I whispered. "But when I refused, you got angry."My answer seemed to infuriate him

"The hospital was asking for payment, and I couldn't reach you...""What?" My brother frowned, but before he could finish, Selene approached us."Skye, come inside," she said warmly. "Are you feeling better? You need money for the hospital bill, right? I'll transfer it to you.""I'll handle it," my brother interrupted, immediately sending me ten thousand dollars."Is that enough?" he asked curtly.I nodded and turned to leave, intending to reclaim my necklace."Where are you going now?" he demanded."The healing crystal necklace Mom left me—I had to leave it at the clinic as collateral."I had only taken a few steps when Selene caught my arm."It looks like rain," she said with false concern. "You just got out of the hospital. Don't run around. Let the driver get it for you."I wanted to refuse, but my brother was watching me intently.I knew that the moment I rejected Selene's suggestion, he would get angry.But the driver returned much later without my necklace.The healer claimed it

"Give me back my necklace!" I lunged forward, desperation in my voice."Why should I return it?" Selene stepped back, fingering the crystal pendant with smug satisfaction. "Your brother gave it to me. He said you don't deserve to wear it—only I do."She dodged my reaching hands, flaunting her prize."That was from my mother! Give it back!" I shouted.I could let go of anything else, but not this—never this.I tried to grab it, but she kept backing away.When I finally pounced, she sidestepped at the last moment.Watching me sprawl helplessly on the floor, she laughed with cruel delight."Look at yourself," she taunted. "Where's that fierce wolf you used to be? You're more like a whimpering dog now."As I struggled to stand, she kicked me hard in the back. When I tried to rise again, she stomped on my hand."Look at you. Living like this—what's the difference between this and being dead?" Selene twisted the knife deeper. "Skye, your brother doesn't want you anymore. You're the only unwe

Overwhelming fear made me break into sobs. I ran after them, grabbing my brother's arm. "I didn't use silver to hurt her! Brother! You have to believe me!""Get away from me!" he snarled. "She's pregnant, do you understand? You could have killed them both! I should have left you in that rehabilitation center forever! Skye, how did I end up with such a wicked sister? Why don't you just die!"He shook off my hand and, just like before, walked away without looking back.My face throbbed with pain, but one phrase kept echoing in my mind: "Why don't you just die?"That sentence merged with the endless days and nights at the rehabilitation center when death seemed preferable to living."Brother, you don't know that I've thought about dying for so long..."I rolled up my sleeve, revealing a maze of scars—evidence of the abuse I'd suffered at the center.Standing by the window where the necklace had been thrown, I called my brother."Brother, if I died, would you believe me then? I didn't hurt

I felt no pain.It all happened so quickly—the silver dagger entering my chest with barely any resistance. There was no pain, only a strange, sudden lightness spreading through my body. An unprecedented sense of freedom.Because I would never feel pain again.The silver poison spread through my veins like ice water, numbing everything in its path. Distantly, I heard sounds—panicked voices, running footsteps, someone screaming my name. But they seemed to come from another world entirely.In my hazy state, memories flooded back with vivid clarity. I remembered when I'd fallen terribly ill with fever shortly after Mom died. I was only nine years old.My brother had been frantic then. Twelve-year-old Ethan, suddenly responsible for his little sister, staying by my side day and night. He'd refused to go to school, refused to sleep."Her temperature is 104," he'd told the Pack healer, his voice breaking. "Why isn't the medicine working? Do something!"I often heard his voice cutting through

My brother sat motionless by my hospital bed for almost three hours, saying absolutely nothing. He just stared at my pale face, at the machines keeping me alive, his eyes hollow with something deeper than exhaustion.A nurse came in to change my IV. "Alpha Ethan, you should get some rest. We'll call if there's any change."He didn't even acknowledge her presence. His fingers remained curled around my limp hand, his thumb absently tracing the scars on my wrist—scars I'd hidden from him since returning home.It seemed as though the shock of my situation affected him only briefly before he slipped into this vacant state. When he finally stood, his movements were mechanical, devoid of his usual confident grace."If she wakes up," he told the nurse in a voice I barely recognized, "call me immediately. Even if it's the middle of the night.""Of course, Alpha," she replied with a sympathetic nod.He drove home in silence, the radio off, the only sound the rhythmic swish of windshield wipers f

My brother closed his eyes, his jaw tight. "What about the house?""I also found footage from the surveillance cameras outside your property from three days ago. The necklace was thrown out of a second-floor window at 3:42 PM. The camera angle doesn't show who threw it, but the timing lines up with when Selene claimed your sister attacked her.""And my sister's story that Selene had the necklace?""Consistent with our findings. I've sent people to search the area where it would have landed, but it's been several days in heavy rain. I'm not sure if we'll find it. I'm sorry, Alpha."My brother's expression shattered, though he struggled to maintain his composure, his Alpha training kicking in even now."I understand. One more thing—it's from a while back, but I need you to investigate it thoroughly. The graduation night incident that sent my sister to rehabilitation. I need everything—witness statements, camera footage if it exists, medical reports. Everything.""That's over a year ago,
