Because my father’s childhood sweetheart’s daughter was accidentally burned 14

The suite was filled with their celebratory chatter, but I could see the truth beneath the facade. This seemingly harmonious family 

of three was actually a nest of vipers, each with their own hidden agenda

The day they returned home, an unusual heavy rain poured down on the territory

The temperature dropped significantly, which seemed to mask some of the lingering odor around the mansion. New servants had already been hired, though no one dared approach the fire house where my body still remained

They arrived home late in the evening, weary from the journey but still riding the high of their baby news

That night, when the house had fallen silent, Amber crept into my old room. Everything remained untouched since my imprisonmenta preserved shrine to the daughter my father had murdered

She rummaged through my closet, selecting clothes that resembled mine, and dressed methodically. When she looked in my mirror, the resemblance was uncannywe had similar builds and coloring, though her features were softer than mine had been

Confidently disguised as me, she walked boldly to the garage and selected one of the cars. With a hat and mask obscuring her face, she drove away into the night

Elise had a standing monthly appointment at an exclusive spa for wolf elders, where special treatments enhanced their fading vitality. The next day, as she left the spa feeling refreshed, three massive rogues wolves appeared seemingly from nowhere

Her driver immediately tensed, sensing danger. Ma’am, stay in the car,he warned, reaching for his silver dagger

But before he could react, the rogues attacked with practiced coordination. They disabled the driver with brutal efficiency, then dragged Elise from the car

Please,” 

,she begged, hands protectively covering her stomach. I have moneytake whatever you want!” 

The largest rogue, a scarred male with yellow eyes, growled low. We don’t want your money, elder wolf. We want the pup.Horror dawned on Elise’s face as she realized their true intent. Among wolves, there was an ancient, forbidden practicestealing unborn pups from their mothers for rituals or to prevent powerful bloodlines from continuing

Who sent you?she screamed, fighting with the desperation of a mother. Who paid you to do this?” 

The rogues didn’t answer. They dragged her into a nearby abandoned building, their claws tearing at her clothes, reaching for her belly

By sheer luck, a pack patrol heard her screams. Three enforcement wolves burst into the building, teeth bared and eyes glowing. The fight was swift and brutal

The rogues were quickly overpowered and bound with silver chainstheir criminal status leaving them no rights under pack law. When my father received the news, he rushed to the hospital. By the time he arrived, the doctors had delivered the grim diagnosis: while Elise had survived, the trauma had caused her to lose the baby. Worse, due to severe internal injuries, her womb had been removed to save her life

Who did this?my father roared, his eyes blazing yellow with rage as he paced the hospital room. Who would DARE?” 

His voice shook the walls, and tears glinted at the corners of his eyessomething I’d never seen, even at my mother’s funeral

Just then, a messenger arrived with a letter, handed to him with trembling fingers

The envelope bore my handwritingor rather, Amber’s perfect imitation of it. My father ripped it open, his hands shaking with 

fury

You pathetic old fool,it read. Everything you own belongs to ME, your true blood. Did you think I’d let that whore and her 

spawn take what’s mine? Dream on.” 

This was clearly a confessiona claim of responsibility for the attack

Scarlett!he howled my name, his voice cracking with emotion I couldn’t quite identify. Rage? Grief? Betrayal

Contact the pack enforcers immediately! Have them hunt down Scarlett Morgan. This is attempted murder! She’s forfeited her 

right to live!” 

As he gave the order, a single tear slid down his cheek

What are you crying for, Father? I wondered, floating beside him unseen. Are you mourning the son you never met, or the daughter you think has become a monster

His secretary rushed to make the arrangements. The pack enforcerselite wolves who served as the Alpha’s law keepers- 

arrived quickly to investigate

They interrogated the captured rogues, who broke easily under the Alpha’s specialized techniques

“A female paid us,the leader confessed, blood trickling from his mouth. Young, with auburn hair and green eyes. Said she 

wanted the pup gonepaid us with this.” 

He produced a distinctive emerald pendantMY pendant, a gift from my mother that I’d kept locked in my jewelry box

She smelled like death and fire,another rogue added, shivering. Wasn’t natural.” 

The description matched me perfectly, and the pendant removed any doubt in my father’s mind

The evidence was damning. Now they just needed to find me

My father paced the hospital corridor, grief and rage battling on his face. Find her,he ordered the lead enforcer. Find my daughter before I do something I might 

regret.”
