All Chapters of May My Death Bring You Peace: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I stumbled and collapsed onto the dirt inside the tent. A tearing pain shot through the center of my back where the silver hunting knife had stabbed me deeply in the back just behind my heart. Blood spurted out at once, soaking the dry hay under me.Silver inhibited our wolf's natural healing process, so my wound just burned with a searing and relentless pain, showing no signs of closing up or healing."Can't you just be more careful? You made that noise on purpose just to torment Lena, didn't you, Camellia Shaw?" Dad roared at me.I didn't even have time to explain myself before Selena Shaw's deafening cries rang out from the side.She curled up in a tight ball on the ground, her shoulders shaking as tears streamed down her face. She screamed through her tears, "It was Cami! It was her! She did it on purpose! She knew that I couldn't be startled and still did it to scare me!"Mom crouched down next to her and petted her gently on the back, comforting her gently and patiently."I

I floated in mid-air, looking down at my own corpse on the ground.It was strange. I had expected death to be an agonizing and heart-wrenching pain, but all I felt now was just a sense of weightless ease.My body lay slumped in the corner of the tent. The wound where the silver knife plunged into my body remained open and unhealed, even though the blood had already congealed.The tent was in a state of chaotic bustle.Dad held Selena in his arms as they walked out with the pack healer. Mom brought the wolf-stabilizing herbs with her as she hurried to catch up to them. Everyone was busy making sure Selena made it to the healing center in time, but none of them even bothered to spare me a glance in the corner."Hurry! The healing center is waiting for us!" Dad said, his voice thick with anxiety.Mom suddenly paused halfway, stopping in her tracks as she glanced at the tent subconsciously. "Where's Cami?""Forget about her! Lena's condition is much worse and more urgent!" Dad chi

Inside the pack's interrogation room, Dad sat numbly on a stone bench, his back hunched, and his eyes vacant.The pack elder, Edgar Maxwell, slid the investigation and forensic findings toward Dad, speaking in a cold, grave tone."Based on the scene investigation and the healer's autopsy report, your eldest daughter, Camellia Shaw, died from a knife wound to a vital area caused by a silver hunting knife."He then handed over several photographs showing bloodstains on the floor and the hunting knife blade."The blood on the ground and on the blade both match Camellia's. What happened, exactly?"Elder Maxwell looked up and stared at Dad.Dad gulped with difficulty. Then, he spoke in a raw, hoarse voice, forcing the words from his throat."I was the one who pushed her… Lena's wolf went out of control that time, and she wouldn't stop screaming and thrashing around. I was so frantic that I lost my composure. I just never noticed that there was a silver hunting knife behind her, hangi

Selena opened the small wooden box, revealing a bundle of finely crushed herbs inside. "These are the herbs Cami gave me. She said they would help me stabilize my wolf," Selena explained. "I was scared, so I secretly took them to the healing center to get them tested. The results showed that some of the herbs contained hallucinogenic substances that could disturb one's wolf!"Elder Maxwell took the box from her with a grave expression. Not a moment later, Dad was summoned to the interrogation room. "Your youngest daughter has accused Camillia of several things. We'll need you to verify her statements," said Elder Maxwell.The moment Selena saw Dad, she rushed forward and threw herself into his arms. Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably as she sobbed, "Dad, I'm so scared. Cami, she…"Looking anxious and heartbroken, Dad wrapped his arms tightly around her. "Take your time, Lena. Tell me what happened.""Cami was bullying me behind your back all this time! She pretended to be th

A month later, an unexpected discovery completely changed the course of everything.One day, the entire pack went camping together. One of our fellow pack members had brought a camera along to document the excursion. He had intended to capture the lively scenes from the gathering, but his camera happened to scan the area outside of our family's tent. By chance, he ended up recording the entire incident that had taken place that day.The footage was set aside for a long time before the pack member happened to come across it again. Once he discovered what it contained, he immediately handed it over to Elder Maxwell. After watching the footage, Elder Maxwell's expression turned grim. Then, he made the recording public.The footage was incredibly clear. That day, I had accidentally knocked over a pile of firewood. The logs scattered across the ground, but Selena's wolf wasn't agitated at all. Instead, she paused for a moment before quickly scanning her surroundings to make sure no
