All Chapters of The Daughter They Forgot Twice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My curse did not make me invisible. It simply made people forget me the moment they looked away.After struggling my entire life only to die alone, I no longer wanted to fight. If death came for me again, I would let it.When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the pack orphanage, only weeks before the vampire attack that had killed me.I expected to spend those weeks waiting for the same death to find me again. Instead, the Alpha and Luna of the Silver Moon Pack arrived and claimed me as the daughter they had lost seventeen years ago.On my first day at the Silver Moon Pack’s Alpha House, my adopted sister, Brielle, caught my wrist at the top of the stone staircase and deliberately threw herself backward.When I lost my balance, I did not scream or reach for the railing.I simply closed my eyes.But Brielle’s grip slipped before she could pull me down with her. She lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs alone, while I remained exactly where she had left me.I stared at my empt

I drifted in and out of consciousness as wolfsbane smoke gathered inside the moonless cell. Each time I surfaced, the room seemed to contain less air.The same burning that had filled my lungs in the conservatory returned, sharper now that the vent was closed. My chest tightened until every breath became a shallow gasp, and I knew death had found me again.I tried to raise my hand toward the door, but my arm fell back to the floor. Soon I could no longer knock or call out, so I curled against the cold stone and waited for my breathing to stop.I had no idea how much time had passed when the heavy door finally opened.A guard entered carrying the morning meal and a lantern. At first, he did not notice me lying beside the wall. He was about to leave when he saw the blood on the floor.He crouched to check my breathing, then rushed out and called for a healer.I was unconscious when they carried me back upstairs. The healer cleared the wolfsbane from my lungs and forced fresh air into the

The search continued deep into the night.The storm covered every trace almost as soon as it appeared. Pack warriors spread through the forest in different directions, but none of them found my tracks. Adrian questioned each group through the pack link and received the same answer.No one had seen me.Father finally faced Brielle. “Are you certain Ivy entered this forest?”Brielle stood inside Mother’s cloak, her face pale from the cold. “I am. The snow may have covered her tracks, or she may have gone much farther than we expected.”Adrian answered for her. “Tracks disappear quickly in a storm like this. Ivy lived in the forest near the orphanage for years. She knows how to hide her trail better than Brielle does.”Mother ordered the warriors to widen the search.At the rear of the group, the young warrior who had heard the knocking kept looking back toward the ruined lodge. When the others disappeared among the trees, he returned alone.I followed him as he knelt at the place he had

My consciousness hovered above the corridor as the healers covered my body with a white sheet and wheeled me toward the preservation chamber below the healing center.The elder healer’s words still echoed through the hall.My body had never responded to their attempts to draw me back.Mother watched the stretcher disappear down the corridor, and her knees gave out. Father caught her, but her weight dragged them both onto the cold stone floor.He drove his fist into the wall, and blood ran over his knuckles. “I should have looked for her. Why didn’t I even know which room she was staying in?”Adrian sank to his knees. “No. How could she be dead?”He suddenly scrambled up and chased after the stretcher. Grabbing the edge of the sheet, he pulled it away from my face.The healers had cleaned the dirt and blood from my skin. Only my bloodless face and closed eyes remained.Adrian used to accuse me of putting on a miserable expression so everyone would feel sorry for me.Now that I could no

For one brief moment, I almost admired Brielle.She was cruel, but she understood the truth better than anyone else in that corridor.None of them could deny what she had said.Mother approached the stretcher and lifted the sheet. She gently brushed the hair away from my forehead, staring at the injuries covering my face.“This is my fault,” she finally whispered.Father sat on the floor with his bleeding hand over his face.“One of the guards warned me that the cliff was unstable. I chose to stay anyway.”His voice faded.“I never wanted her to die.”Brielle’s words had stripped away Adrian’s last excuse.He lunged at her and knocked her to the floor.“You killed her!”Brielle pushed herself up and glared at him.“What right do you have to blame me?”“Every time Ivy tried to tell the truth, you were the first person to silence her. You saw the evidence, but you kept making excuses for me.”She gave him a bitter smile.“I only gave you a reason to punish her. You were the one who locke
