After my sister Rose died, my Luna Mom remained consumed by the immense grief of losing her daughter.
So, from the moment I was old enough to understand, I was forced to play the role of my sister.
Mom forbade me from wearing white, because my sister's favorite color was red.
She forbade me from cutting my hair short, because my sister wore hers long.
If I disobeyed, a slap would come across my face, and she would question whether I was truly her daughter.
Alpha Dad told me again and again that Mom was overwhelmed by grief, and that I should indulge her and play along.
I obediently followed suit, imitating my sister in everything.
Until the day I was accepted into the Werewolf Academy, and Mom tore my admission letter to shreds.
"Your sister died before she ever got to attend the Werewolf Academy, so you are not allowed to go either!"
I nodded.
Back then, my sister died of spirit decay. Now the healer has told me I'm in the final stages too.
This time, I will be her perfectly.
