Chapter 2 On my dying days , I didn't want to stay at home anymore . I just wanted to pack up my belongings in advance . But when I pushed open that creaking wooden door , I found there was nothing to pack at all . My room was the smallest storage room in the pack house . What belonged to me there were just a few old clothes and some worn - out notebooks . Even stationery was pitifully scarce . In comparison , Selena's walk - in closet was three or four times the size of my room , filled with silks and jewels that were updated every season . Only what she didn't want would be casually thrown into my little room . After packing these broken things , I received a call from the cemetery company . " Miss Morgan , please confirm the cemetery plot you previously reserved . If you pay the deposit today , we can hold it for you , otherwise it will be sold with priority to others . " That was the burial site I had taken a fancy to not long ago . Tall pines and cypresses , neatly trimmed roses , tombstones and urns all in simple modern style . At that time I thought - since living was unbearably painful , at least death should be peaceful . 11:25 The Alpha's Regret : Begging for His Outcast Mate Master New Skills with Udemy Chapter 2 But now , I could only respond quietly : " No need . " Because I had no money . Someone who couldn't even afford treatment , how could they have the means to buy their own burial plot . Before death comes , I will follow the pack's customs, going alone to the depths of the forest at night , letting my soul return to the Moon Goddess's side with the moonlight . Just as I hung up the phone , my brother Owen pushed the door open , threw his briefcase on the chair , his face full of questions . " Cemetery? What are you up to ? " My heart tightened , thinking he knew . But the next second , his words lashed down like a whip . " Jossie , what tricks are you playing now ? I heard that to sabotage Selena's coming - of - age party , you actually made a scene at the Wolf Council ? You've made us lose all face ! " He pressed closer step by step , his voice full of reproach . " Selena cried herself into a mess worrying about you , her coming - of - age ceremony was ruined just like that ! That was her only eighteenth birthday . She lost her parents since childhood and finally had a chance to be recognized . Why can't you tolerate her ? " The words stuck in my throat like being strangled by iron chains . Who really couldn't tolerate whom - her or me? 11:25 The Alpha's Regret : Begging for His Outcast Mate UULIVIT.C Shop now Chapter 2 Selena's eighteenth birthday was important , but what about mine ? Ever since she appeared , my birthday has been forgotten year after year . One cough from her and the whole family would accompany her to the hospital ; while I could faint from fever and no one would care . One allergic reaction from her and Mom and Dad would keep vigil at her bedside . While my eighteenth birthday passed quietly , without even a " happy birthday . " Tears blurred my vision as I choked out : " Owen ... my eighteenth birthday is also my only eighteenth birthday . Not only did they forget , they didn't even give me a cake . " A wolf's eighteenth birthday is important , more important than any other birthday . Because now I'm not only a legal adult in both human and shifter government eyes , my wolf has finally matured , and now we can find our soulmate .

If you hadn't refused to admit your mistakes , would Mom and Dad be so angry ? " Before he finished speaking , footsteps came from outside the door , accompanied by accusations . " You still have the face to mention your eighteenth birthday ? With what you've done , you have no right to celebrate a birthday ! " Father's face was flushed red , fire burning in his eyes . " You made such a mess of Selena's birthday , she cried until she nearly went into shock , yet still pleaded for you ! And you still dare to remain unrepentant ? Apologize to her immediately ! " Selena wiped away her tears , squeezed out a gentle smile , and stepped forward . " No need to apologize . I just want to eat the blood berry pie that sister makes . Sister , can you make one for me ? " Mother's eyes flashed with relief as she hurried to persuade me . " Isn't this what you're best at ? Jossie , this is her giving you a way out , you're getting off easy , why don't you agree quickly ! " I looked at the smugness floating at the corner of Selena's mouth , didn't move , and only said coldly : " Aren't you allergic to red fruit pulp ? Insisting that I make blood berry pie - do you want to blame me again for causing you to go into allergic shock ?
