Worried that I would scream for help, my mouth was sealed shut with duct tape. I couldn’t even scream, my throat burning with silence.
My parents always loved Laura more, ever since we were kids.
Laura got the nice candies and wore the dresses I had wished for.
Later, even though they could afford tuition for two, they paid only for her to go to Lycan Academy. They told me I was an adult and that I should get a job to pay my own way through.
However, even with all of that, I never thought they would make me give up my mate.
When Laura told them a wolf had poisoned her with wolfsbane during a camping trip and didn’t have much time left, they didn’t hesitate.
The icing on the cake that broke my heart was that David, my childhood sweetheart, would cheat on me with my sister.
Their ceremony went off without a hitch, and all I could do was watch.
They rolled their suitcases out the door and headed off on their honeymoon as I floated silently behind them.
At the foot of the northern mountains, they strolled hand in hand across the snowy fields, golden sunlight bathing them in a soft, warm glow.
Laura wrapped her arms around David’s neck, and the two of them kissed tenderly. Tourists nearby snapped photos and praised them for being such a beautiful couple.
Even my usually conservative parents smiled and cheered them on from the sidelines.
They had long forgotten that my body still lay discarded in the mine.
So, who would care about getting justice for me?
