Bury Me Alive
Just because his first love's younger brother accidentally fell into Shadow River, my Alpha mate, Ethan Horn, forced me, the only Spirit Soother of our pack, to go and rescue him.
When I sank to the bottom of the river, I chose not to save him.
When the man was pulled out of the river, the healer lamented, "If it were a few minutes earlier, Leo might have been saved. What a pity."
Ethan's first love, Serafina Pike, had her wolf soul shut off and soon passed away because she missed her younger brother, Leo Pike.
From that moment on, Ethan, who had once loved me, hated me to the core. Without giving me a chance to explain, he slit my throat with a silver blade and ruthlessly sealed my wolf soul.
Later, he believed the heresy of the witch about soul sacrifice and nailed me and our young daughter in coffins before burying us alive by Shadow River as sacrifices to resurrect his beloved Serafina.
In the end, the woman he deeply loved did not come back to life, and my daughter and I died with endless resentment.
When I reopened my eyes, I had returned to the night when Ethan forced me to jump into the river to save Leo.
I tied up the specially made rope and asked him for the last time, "Are you really sure that you can bear the consequences after I rescue him?"
