Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reborn: I Let the Wolves Hunt Them: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

"I heard wolves roam this trail, so I brought a gift for everyone," Kimberly Thatcher said with a shy smile.As she spoke, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a bundle of embroidered sachets. "These are good luck charms I made myself. With these, the wolves will keep their distance, and we'll all be safe."My boyfriend, Fabian Lowell, lit up instantly. "You probably don't know this, but Kimberly has always been Lady Luck back home," he cut in. "Last year, when the whole town flooded, her family's house was the only place unaffected.""Seriously?" someone in the group exclaimed. Fabian replied firmly, "Of course! Ever since she was a kid, everything seemed to go right wherever she was. These charms she made will definitely keep us safe."The group broke into cheers, and everyone began scrambling to snatch a good luck charm for themselves.Curious, one woman asked, "What's in these?""It's my own special blend. These herbs are meant to keep danger away. It's an old rec

Seeing that, everyone rushed to pull me back. "Priscilla Jensen!" one yelled. "Don't push your luck! Kimberly stayed up the whole night making these for us. Look! Her hands are covered in cuts!""And now you're accusing her of setting you up? Fabian had merely spoken up for what was right, and you attacked him out of jealousy! How can you be so cruel?"I realized then that no matter what I said, none of them would take my side. Even with my bloody wound laid bare before their eyes, I knew it was pointless to say another word. I looked at the good luck charms dangling from their backpacks, and a cold dread ran through me. The sky had darkened. If I kept following them, I'd end up attacked by the wolves, too. By then, there would be no way out. Survival came first. I couldn't be bothered to argue with them, so I turned to leave.But Fabian had already gotten to his feet. In the next second, he yanked me by the collar. "Priscilla, do you think you can frame Kim and just walk aw

My words had barely settled when the ward's door was kicked open. Fabian stormed in, his eyes full of disgust. "Priscilla Jensen! After everything, you're still trying to pin this on Kim? You're evil!"Just look around. Half the group is lying here because of you! Don't you feel the least bit guilty? You'd better admit what you did and beg for their forgiveness. Otherwise, we're done! A heartless woman like you doesn't deserve to be my girlfriend!"His outburst struck me as funny, and I couldn't help but laugh. "Then we're done. I hope you and your darling Kim live happily ever after."Fabian's eyes went wide at my words. "Priscilla, are you out of your mind? Back then, you were all over me, and now, you're acting all high and mighty! If I hadn't taken pity on you, you never would've been my girlfriend. "You're nothing but a used-up slut now. Who the hell would want you after me? Do you really think anyone would marry you?"In a flash, the crack of a slap rang through the hospi

I shoved Fabian aside, glared at him, and bellowed, "Even if my family donates every cent and I end up a beggar on the street, I still won't hand over a dime to scum like you!"Then, I turned to the onlookers, who were all acting like they were the moral police. I pointed at them without hesitation."And who do you think you are? What proof do you have to accuse me? You're all adults. Can't you tell right from wrong? "You condemned me on nothing but hearsay! All of you who dragged my family's name through the mud… don't think for a second that you'll get away with it. I'll sue every last one of you!"I scanned the crowd. At that point, the room had gone silent. Just then, police sirens wailed on the street below.Soon after, several officers hurried upstairs, their faces grim. One of them said, "We got a call about trouble here. Please cooperate with the investigation."I quickly stepped forward. "Officer, I was the one who called. They tried to extort me, and when I refused,
