All Chapters of Swapping Places with My Sister Before I Die: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"What do you mean she's handing over the position to me? The position must be mine!" Lia Smith grumbled softly, clearly displeased by what she had just heard. "You can't seriously let someone who was exiled host the offering ceremony, can you? Besides—""Lia! It's getting late! Hurry up and get ready!" my mother, Vanessa Greene, cut Lia off. Without wasting another second, she dragged Lia away.My mate-to-be, Kellan Cohen, spoke up for Lia. "Lia doesn't mean any harm. She's just blunt and speaks her mind. Don't take it to heart.""She's right," I said calmly. "Someone who was exiled really isn't suited to be the host."Kellan immediately frowned. "Ella, are you blaming me for it? I know I was the one who should have been exiled. If you're angry at me about it, just yell at me. Stop with the passive-aggressive attitude."A year ago, during a full-moon shift, Kellan had accidentally injured an Elder. At the time, he was in the middle of competing for the position of pack Alpha, so I

When I opened my eyes again, I realized I was already dead. My soul, for some reason, was bound to Kellan.I floated in the air and watched as Kellan and Lia, both dressed in lavish formal wear, walked toward the altar. However, unlike the excited Lia, Kellan looked somewhat distracted.The moment the offering ceremony ended, he impatiently slipped away from the crowd and pulled out his phone."Kellan," Lia called out to him as she walked over and grabbed his arm. "Don't blame Ella. I think she's hiding because she's too afraid to face you. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have sent you that video of her throwing up from morning sickness."The moment Kellan heard the words "morning sickness", his eyes seemed to blaze with fury. But still, he gently patted the back of Lia's hand. "This isn't your fault. If it weren't for you, I'd still be kept in the dark!"With that, he unlocked his phone and dialed my number again. But of course, the call went unanswered. After all, a dead person c

Kellan stood frozen in place, as if all the strength had been drained from his body.He stared at me on the stretcher, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. It took him a long while before he finally managed to force out a hoarse whisper. "Impossible... This is impossible..."After a long pause, he seemed to snap out of his stupor. He whipped around and roared at Lia behind him, "Didn't you say she was hiding because she got pregnant? Then what the hell is this? What is going on?"Lia flinched in terror and stumbled back several steps, clutching onto Mom. "Y-yes… You saw the video yourself, didn't you? How was I supposed to know that she…"Before she could finish, a frantic, stumbling rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.The next second, my grandmother, Felicity Hale, came crashing through the entrance. The moment she saw me lying on the stretcher, she seemed to crumble. She threw herself down on her knees beside me, covered her face, and burst into heart-wrenching sobs

A sharp scream snapped me out of my memories.Lia suddenly shoved Mom to the ground in a frenzy, then ran back to Kellan. She begged desperately, "Kellan, whatever Mom did has nothing to do with me. I'm innocent. Please don't hate me, okay?"But Kellan did not even acknowledge her. He stepped forward, grabbed Mom by the collar, and hauled her to her feet. "So you killed Mr. Smith and Ella because of your filthy affair with your brother?""Jacob brought it on himself!" Mom retorted, meeting Kellan's gaze without a trace of fear. "He overestimated himself and challenged Jason to a duel, and that was what led to him falling off the cliff and dying!"Then, a twisted smile crept across Mom's face. "As for Ella, wasn't that all your fault?"Kellan stiffened. "What do you mean by that?""What do I mean?" she scoffed. "Had Ella not taken your place and suffered in the wilderness for a whole year, you'd be the one who's dead now!"She pointed at Granny, who was lying not too far off, and

A crisp, loud slap landed hard on Lia's face.Mom shook with rage as she said, "I've done so much for you, and yet you blame me?"Lia, who had probably never been hit in her life, stood stunned for a few seconds before bursting into hysterical sobs.She shoved Mom away as she cried, "You don't deserve to be my mother! I want nothing to do with you! Get out! Leave right now! I never want to see you again—"Mom kept backing up until suddenly, her foot met empty air. With a loud splash, she fell straight into the old well in the courtyard.That well had been dug by my grandfather's forefathers and had stood in the courtyard for centuries.I remembered how Dad had always warned me to stay far away from it back when I was a pup. The well was narrow and deep, so if anyone ever fell in, it was almost impossible to climb back out.Years ago, there used to be a railing around it. But now, there was no protection at all.I floated over quickly, but all I saw were ripples spreading across
