Chapter 1

After our parents died, my Alpha brothers promised they’d protect me forever. But for that adopted human girl, Lily, they locked me in the dungeons and left me to be eaten away by wolf's venom, my body dissolving until nothing was left."Ethan, you can't do this! I'm your sister!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face, hoping for a shred of pity from my oldest brother."Sister?" Ethan turned, his eyes cold. "My sister wouldn't lead an innocent human girl into a dangerous forest, much less plot with a rogue wolf to get her killed.""I didn't!" I struggled, but my second brother Caleb’s arms were like steel, locking my shoulders in place."Enough, Freya." Caleb's golden wolf eyes were filled with disappointment. "The fact is, Lily is hurt, and you don't have a scratch on you. How can you even argue?""It wasn't me—""Shut up!" my third brother, Noah, cut me off, his face twisted in disgust. "Do you realize that's going to scar her? And all because you were jealous she got our attentio

"It's all my fault," Lily’s voice was weak and innocent. "I'm sure Freya didn't mean it. She was just… just trying to play a joke on me."As she spoke, huge tears rolled down her cheeks. She was playing the part of the heartbreakingly fragile victim to perfection."A joke?" Caleb shot to his feet, furious. "Luring you into the woods to be attacked by a rogue is a joke?!""No, it wasn't like that…" Lily shook her head. "Freya just… she just wanted to show me the beautiful scenery. I was the one who was careless and got hurt by the rogue. It's my fault for being so useless…"The more she defended me, the darker my brothers' faces grew.I watched her little performance, my heart cold. It was a familiar act. Lily always painted herself as the innocent victim, and all the sympathy for her would curdle into accusations against me.As if by accident, Lily raised a hand to wipe her tears, revealing the still-healing gash on her arm. The ugly gash was a violent tear across her pale skin.Ethan’

"Freya! Get out here!"Caleb kicked the dungeon door impatiently, shaking dust from the walls. Of course, there was no response."Playing dead? Think that'll make us go soft?" Noah sneered, his handsome face etched with scorn. "You're getting good at these games, Freya. First, you hurt Lily, and now you're faking your own death to make us feel guilty?"The dungeon remained deathly silent. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard."You think… something really happened?" Caleb's voice faltered for a second before he dismissed the thought. "No, impossible. She has healing powers. What could possibly happen in three days?"Ethan nodded. "She must have bribed a guard and snuck out."He turned to the guard at the door, his Alpha's authority making the young wolf tremble."No, Alpha!" The guard turned pale and dropped to his knees. "I swear! Miss Freya has been in there ever since you locked her in! I've been right here the whole time, I haven't moved a step!""Then where is she?" Caleb

As the light flooded the dungeon, my first instinct was to hide. Even knowing they didn't care, I didn't want them to see me like this. But I was dead. There was nothing I could do.I could only watch as they approached my body.It was unrecognizable. The wolf's venom had forced me back into my wolf form in my final, agonizing moments. It had charred my fur and melted my flesh, my face swollen and mangled beyond recognition. My limbs were twisted in the position of my final struggle. My claws were broken, my paws still caked with the blood from clawing at the floor and the door.I look so ugly, I thought numbly.A tiny sliver of hope remained. Maybe they'll recognize me? Maybe they'll give me a proper burial, for our parents' sake.They didn't.I watched Ethan take a step back, his face white, as if trying to get away from the body. "What is that thing?""Alpha…" a servant began, his voice trembling. "Could that be… Miss Freya's…""Shut up!" Ethan snapped, his voice shaking with agitat

"Search everywhere, now!" Ethan commanded into his phone, his voice cold and hard. "Notify all the surrounding packs. Anyone who dares to shelter Freya will be considered an enemy of the Blood Moon pack!""Yes, Alpha," replied his most trusted Beta, Marcus.After hanging up, Ethan turned to Caleb and Noah. "You two split up and check our businesses and territories. She's holed up somewhere, waiting for us to come crawling back.""What a pain," Caleb scowled. "She acts like her healing powers give her a free pass to be a brat. Nothing like Lily, who's so obedient and sweet.""I'll take the North and East sectors," Noah said, adjusting his cuffs with a sneer. "She'd better pray I'm not the one who finds her first."Obedient and sweet?I remembered after our parents died, how I would cry silently into my pillow every night, trying not to worry my brothers. Caleb found me once. He stroked my hair and told me, "We'll do anything for you, little sister. You never have to learn to be 'obedien

A wall of heat and thick smoke blasted Ethan as he stood before the incinerator.“Stop! Stop it now!”The servants scrambled to put out the fire.But it was too late. Inside, there was nothing left but a pile of ash.He grabbed a servant by the collar, his voice a low growl thick with rage. “Who told you to burn this? Who gave the order?”The servant fell to his knees, shaking. “It… it was young master Noah’s order. He said it was… filthy…”Ethan’s breath came in ragged gasps. He whispered, as if trying to convince himself, “No. This can’t be Freya…”“This has to be one of her sick games…”“Alpha…” a servant approached timidly. “While we were cleaning, we… we found some words… on the wall.”Words?Ethan’s head snapped around. He stumbled into the small, dark dungeon.In the corner, where the body had been, were several lines of crooked words.I had carved them with my own nails. Every stroke was a line of blood.In some places, you could see where my nails had broken off.“Brother, I d

Ethan turned stiffly, walking like a machine to pick up the dust-covered device.The screen read: Caleb.My second brother.He answered, his hand trembling.“Freya!” Caleb’s choked sobs came through the speaker. “I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I was wrong! We were all wrong!”Ethan’s hand shook so badly he could barely hold the phone. “What do you mean?”Caleb paused. “Ethan? Why do you have her phone? Where’s Freya?”But Ethan seemed not to hear him, stubbornly repeating, “What do you mean, you were wrong?”“I caught him…” Caleb’s voice was broken. “The rogue who attacked Lily… I interrogated him… He said… he said Lily came to him first…”“She paid him a fortune to ambush them in the forest. She led Freya right into a trap, just to pin it all on her…”“It was all a setup! That bitch played us for fools!”Caleb’s voice was spiraling. “Brother, we were wrong… We were so, so wrong… I’m coming back now. I’m going to apologize to Freya in person… I’ll get on my knees and beg her to forgive me…”

The phone rang again.The screen showed: Noah.My third brother.Ethan answered.“Freya!” Noah’s voice was tinged with pleasure. “You finally picked up! Alright, stop this childish game. I found the brooch you left in my room. The craftsmanship isn’t half bad.”He paused, his tone condescending, like he was granting a huge favor. “Come back right now, and I’ll put in a good word for you with Ethan. You’re our sister, after all. As long as you’re truly sorry and apologize, we can let this go.”I remembered that Noah’s birthday was tomorrow. The brooch was a gift I’d spent weeks making for him by hand. I never imagined he’d find his ‘surprise’ like this.The veins on Ethan’s hand bulged as he gripped the phone.“Noah. Was it your order to have the body burned?”Noah froze. “Ethan? Why do you have Freya’s phone? Where is she?”“Answer me!”“What of it?” Noah said, annoyed. “It was just some stray…”“That stray,” Ethan’s voice was a raw whisper, “might have been our sister.”“What?” Noah’s

Chapter 9

The three brothers fell silent. In each other’s eyes, they found the horrifying answer: they had all consciously severed their mind-links with me.That realization was even more devastating than the news of my death.Ethan’s body began to tremble, and a beast-like roar tore from his throat. His body started to swell, his bones cracking and rearranging. Sharp claws burst from his skin, shredding his clothes.He was losing control.“Brother!” Noah yelled in terror.But Caleb was changing too.His golden eyes were completely overtaken by red as his sanity shattered under the weight of his grief and regret.“Freya…” he whimpered in broken sobs, “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…”And then, he too, shifted into his beast form.Noah looked at his two brothers, then at the box of ashes on the ground.An overwhelming wave of grief drowned him.He remembered a little Freya, always trailing behind them, shyly calling out, “Brother.”He remembered her secretly making them gifts.He remembered the utter de
