บททั้งหมดของ 24 Hours After My Death My Family Regretted: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 7

"Let the Alpha mark Freya in your place, tonight, Kira." Dad said quietly, his eyes not meeting mine, like he couldn't bring himself to look at me directly. He cleared his throat. "Take off that dress, she'll be wearing it.”I blinked as if I'd just heard my death sentence.Let Freya take my place tonight?"But...But why? I'm the Alpha's mate." I swallowed, my heart thumping at what their response would be.Guilt flickered across Mum's face for a breath, but it was gone before I could hold on to it for too long. Her usual expression fell back into place. "Stop pretending like you don't know your sister's condition!"She had never smiled at me or looked at me like she did at Freya.Dad was the same, always going on about what Freya needed but never once asking what I needed or what I wanted."No, Mum." My mouth acted before my mind did. "I have lived my whole life watching you pamper her like I was invisible. I will..."A slap landed on my cheeks and shut me up.Mum's aggressive gaz

I moved to the garden, surprised by how I was able to glide through walls.My first stop was with my parents. Mum and Dad clicked glasses with each other as they rejoiced.“Freya would live, honey. I'm so happy” Mum cooed.Dad's lips formed a thin line as he contemplated before replying to her. “I'm worried about Kira. Isn't it too extreme to place her in a silver cage?”"We shouldn't worry ourselves over the heartless child!" Mum's reply was defiant, not too sincere, like she was fighting an inner battle.But none of it moved me again.They lost me in the protection of a liar like Freya.They let her manipulate their minds and truncate their emotions.Dad moved forward, obviously avoiding Mum's comment, and mingled with the crowd."We just killed the eldest daughter" I heard.Turning toward the sound, the same assassin who killed me was seated, dressed like distinguished guests, but had a small radio in their ears with which they were communicating."Yes, Alpha." Their leader said. "V

I wasn't sure if a ghost was allowed to feel this way, but I felt sad, empty, and angry.Dad and his guard took some things and left the room. I got up after them."Why are you going to Lady Freya?" the guard asked him with the same confusion as mine.He had turned toward Freya's room.Why would he go there at these dire times?Dad said nothing, but moved quietly until he got to the door and knocked.I walked through the door into the room, met Freya on her knees, begging Eden whose eyes were red with rage and maybe guilt."Go and open the door." Eden's voice was low.She clutched his feet. "Not until you forgive me."She's trying to beg her way out.I angrily kicked her even though my leg went through."Kira is dead!," Eden reminded her, his tone hurtful. "Will forgiving you wake her up? You lied to me, lied to the pack, and even to your own family, Freya. Do you even have a heart?"The knock on the door stopped.Freya's hand slid down Eden's leg.For a split second, I almost thought

Dad arrived before dawn, clutching to my battered corpse like a prize.Sorrow filled the air, mortuary attendants arriving to take care of it.Freya's eyes froze when she saw the body still intact.“How was she still complete?” she asked hastily over the phone when no one was looking.I didn't hear the responses from the other end but she dropped this call, gritting her teeth. “Everyone is focused on her again!”When the body was already cleaned and dressed, they laid it into my room.“We shall bury the body tomorrow.” Dad sounded tired.Freya tried to sound normal. “How…. Are you able to get her body back, dad? I heard the Deltas are very powerful”Dad paused for a while.He had a bite mark on his shoulder, and his guard was seriously injured.“I made a deal with the RedFangs in exchange for the body” his tone was , he looked up at Freya. “You're marrying their prince in the next full moon”Freya's hand dropped stop. “What!?”Mum jumped to her feet as fast as light too.“You're marryi
