Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Daughter She Chose: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

To free herself from my grasp, my mother, Wynne Carter, pulled back with most of her strength. Injured as I already was, I stood no chance against her brute force. I threw out my elbows to break my fall, desperate to protect the pup in my womb. Crack. I heard the sound of bone snapping. The broken bone and sharp pain in my abdomen forced a blood-curdling scream from my throat. I lay curled up on my side, my hand clutching my right arm in my feeble attempt to ease the agony. A rush of warm fluid spilled out from between my thighs. Terror gripped me. “Nurse…” I pleaded desperately, “Please save me… Get me a healer…” Someone passed by me and paused for a brief second before hurrying off. No one paid any attention to me. It was like I was invisible to them. They either acted busy or stood there scrolling on their phones. “Nurse…”“Ms. Carter, this is no place to act high and mighty like a Luna. Take yourself to the general waiting area if you need treatment.” F

Ever since my father died, Wynne had been raising me all on her own. To provide me with the best care possible, Wynne practically split herself in two. One part of her was devoted to the hospital, working her way toward a higher position so she could give me a better life. The other half was mine to keep. She taught me the basics of being a wolf and raised me to be brave, strong, and fearless. Sullivan was my neighbor, and we grew up together. No matter what happened, he was always there to keep me safe. Once, while Wynne was away for advanced training, I injured myself on silver by accident. Sullivan wouldn’t leave my side for days, determined to nurse me back to health. By the time we enrolled at the Werewolf Academy, Sullivan had turned down countless advances from well-born she-wolves and finally confessed his feelings for me. “Odette, you’re the only Luna for me. Be mine!” When did it all go terribly wrong? I supposed everything started when Wynne took in Lena, a

The tormenting pain vanished all at once. My body had never felt lighter. Confused, I looked around in a daze, only to realize I was hovering in midair. I lowered my gaze and spotted a she-wolf who looked just like me lying on the examination table in the corner. However, the she-wolf looked rather terrifying. Her lips were caked with dried blood, her face ashen gray, her neck flopped limply to one side, and her abdomen was swollen, showing no signs of life. It hit me that I was dead. No one was aware, though. Wynne and Sullivan had severed their mind links with me a long time ago. I let out a wry chuckle. Meanwhile, Lena sat propped on a huge, comfortable bed in the VIP section of the room. She snuggled up against Wynne, her cheeks rosy pink and her eyes bright. Wynne carefully adjusted the flow rate of the transfusion for her. “It’ll be over before you know it. My little Lena is the bravest.” Standing at the foot of the bed, Sullivan tucked Lena’s feet in

With Wynne falling to the floor, Sullivan asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Wynne?” Wynne didn’t say a word. Wobbling to her feet, Wynne extended her shaking hand toward me. The tips of her fingers met with a stiff, icy chill. Color drained from her face, and her lips quivered as she mumbled, “Odette… Don’t scare me…” She gave me a rough shove. My limp body twisted, my head lolling toward her. My face was a ghastly gray, dried black blood still crusted around my lips. “Argh!” Throwing her head back, Wynne passed out cold on the floor. “Wynne!” Sullivan rushed over. Once he took a good look at my face, a deadly chill gripped him, and he sank to the floor. He crawled closer on his knees and shakily reached out to check whether I was still breathing. It took a split second before he jerked his hand back as though his skin had been burned by fire.Despite grabbing the edge of my examination table, he couldn’t hold himself up. He slid down to the ground, heaving h

As it turned out, the moment I was dragged into the trauma room to have my blood drawn, Aida rushed straight to the Elders’ Council to sound the alarm. She was terrified that something would happen to me. When the elders arrived on the scene, they ran into the pack enforcers who were there to follow up on the fire incident. Brian, the captain of the pack enforcers, scanned the room with a keen eye before his gaze fell on my corpse. Surprised, Brian furrowed his brows. “Didn’t the paramedics tag Odette with the red critical band? Why does it look like she hadn’t received any care?” Wynne stumbled ahead and grabbed Brian’s sleeve. “What happened in the fire? Wasn’t Odette the first rescued? Why did she suffer horrific injuries?” Brian looked at her gravely. “It’s true she was the first one pulled out, but… that’s only because she was the only one trapped in the fire. On top of that, the fire was intentionally set ablaze. “We managed to restore the surveillance footage r
