My Shadow Has Fangs — Episode 2

The moment Chloe graduates, she's in. He seemed to finally remember me. Alayra, do you need any help? No.

I had already found one. A corporate transfer to Mexico. I would leave in a few days once I got my degree. Zane grunted and said nothing more.

Dad laughed to smooth things over. Our middle child has always been independent. She never makes us worry. I wasn't independent.

I just knew something. If I didn't do things myself, no one would help me. Zane was the eldest son. He was the future alpha, pampered alone for six years.

Chloe was the youngest. She was the little princess held in my parents' palms. Only I was stuck in the middle. I was going nowhere, like an invisible wolf.

Chloe put down her cola and ran over. Alara, is there anything you want? I'll bring it back for you. A hint of unnaturalness flashed in her bright eyes.

She knew the unfairness too, but I knew the truth. She would forget. Just like every trip, she would remember the silk scarf mom wanted. She would remember the tie dad needed.

She would help Zane collect vintage cameras, but she would always forget mine. That trace of guilt was fleeting. I was used to it. Just bring whatever you see fit.

Mom stopped packing her luggage. Alara, look how nice your sister is to you. Shouldn't you show some appreciation since she's bringing you a gift? How about this?

Give your first month summer job salary to Chloe as pocket money. Oh, you don't have to. Don't be so sensible.
