All Chapters of They Lost Me Through Blind Favoritism: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I, Anna Moore, walked home alone.I was drenched from head to toe, and even my bones felt like they were freezing.The moment I stepped inside, my phone buzzed.Mom had sent me a message.She asked what I planned to eat since I was home alone.I sniffled, and my eyes immediately welled up with tears.Did Mom actually remember that she had another daughter who was going hungry?I was about to type a reply when another message from Mom popped up.[Don't touch the food in the fridge.][I prepared it specifically for Kaiser and Kelly. They each have one portion. I divided everything carefully.][If you dare steal even a bite and ruin the fairness, you can pack up and leave!]The moment I read those words, the warmth and hope I had felt disappeared.I wanted to ask Mom, 'What about me? Where's my portion?'But in the end, I only replied with a blank expression on my face.[Okay.]I'd asked that question countless times throughout my childhood. No one had ever answered me.Th

Kelly couldn't wait to show off my trophy to all her friends.When Kaiser saw it, he threw a fit and demanded a party.To keep things fair, Mom and Dad had no choice but to hold two parties at home at the same time.The date they chose happened to be the day of my wolf awakening.It was the most important day in a werewolf's life.I'd been looking forward to it for an entire year. Months ago, I'd even reminded them to prepare my awakening ritual.But now, all those hopes had been crushed.On the day of the party, the living room was decorated beautifully. It was filled with laughter and excitement.For once, Mom and Dad were nice to me. They softened their tone and tried to coax me into going along with their plans."Anna, we can always hold your awakening ritual another time. But if we don't throw your brother and Kelly their parties at the same time, they'll start fighting again. For the sake of fairness, be a good girl and don't make a fuss over it."I pursed my lips toget

After what happened at the party, Mom and Dad became the subject of everyone's gossip.The guests clicked their tongues and shook their heads. They urged my parents not to show too much favoritism.Mom was humiliated and became even more resentful toward me.After the party ended, she assumed I was hiding in the storage room and sulking, so she simply locked the door from the outside.The next morning, Mom stood in the living room and announced loudly, "From now on, nobody is allowed to open the storage room door!"There was no response from inside.Mom assumed I was silently rebelling against her. Her ears bristled with anger."Unless she willingly admits her mistake, we won't forgive her!"For the next two days, the storage room became a forbidden area in our home.No one dared go near it.But without me, the house quickly descended into chaos.The dirty clothes Kelly changed out of piled up and eventually filled the house with a sour stench.Kaiser's hunting boots were c

Mom returned home in a daze, only to hear terrible news.To prove that he was stronger than Kelly, Kaiser had secretly gone hunting near the border. A rogue had stabbed him in the chest with a poisoned dagger.Mom and Dad were horrified. They rushed him to the healer's den.After an emergency examination, the healer made a grave announcement. "The poison has already spread. His wolf spirit is gradually going dormant. He's in critical condition!"The best option is to use his family's blood to neutralize the poison and save his life."The healer looked at Kelly. "You're the patient's twin, aren't you? Your blood would be the best antidote!"Kelly immediately shook her head. "N-No way! I don't–"Mom and Dad both stepped forward. "We are his family too!"The healer frowned. "You're both old. Drawing enough blood from you to neutralize the poison could seriously damage your wolf spirits. Are you sure?"Mom burst into tears and rushed over to Kelly before grabbing her hand."Kelly

After I blocked Mom, her phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor.She cried until her voice was hoarse. "We drove Anna away. We really ruined everything!"Dad had aged considerably during this period. His eyes were bloodshot from sleepless nights.He said nothing. He simply raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.They gave up on trying to get me to save Kaiser.Dad returned to the healer's den and asked the healer to use his blood instead.The healer sighed helplessly and said, "The detoxification process will be extremely painful and dangerous. Are you prepared?"Dad nodded weakly. "This is our only option."He had made mistakes, and he should be the one to make amends.The pain of the treatment would remind him for the rest of his life of the wonderful daughter he had lost.After Kaiser was saved, everything in the family changed.Mom and Dad abandoned their so-called rule of fairness and stopped spoiling the twins.Whenever Kaiser and Kelly fought
