I was dragged to Amber's grave , and everyone was demanding to know who the murderer was . They spat on me and hurled stones . Hands grabbed my arms , yanking hard , pulling my hair out of place . Countless fists rained down on me , leaving me battered and bruised , my body covered in wounds . I panicked , stumbling away from the scene , but the angry pack members chased me relentlessly . Ahead of me , flames shot into the sky . My house was burning , set aflame by enraged pack members , and I was helpless to stop it . Homeless , I fled into the deep mountains of the pack , carrying Chad , the little bear I had saved from the rogue pack . But the pack members found me again , and before my eyes , they skinned Chad alive and boiled him into a stew . I clutched Chad's leg bone , screaming in agony , tears pouring down my face . I was only sixteen that year , orphaned , without a mate . Nicole's eyes were fixed on the large screen , watching my tear - streaked face , a cold smile spreading across her lips . " Mira , don't you think you deserve this outcome ? This is karma . " " If you hadn't shielded the murderer , would everyone be treating you like this ? Do you really think you're the victim here ? " " You , of all people , have no right to feel sorry for yourself . You brought this on yourself , you accomplice ! " The crowd jeered in agreement . " God , how shameless ! She dares to feel sorry for herself ? " " Trying to get sympathy from these tragic memories ? What a joke ! Shielding a criminal makes you an accomplice ! You deserve to burn in hell ! " " Who does she think she is , trying to play the victim ? Amber's family is destroyed , the child dead , her mother insane - who's more pitiful than her ? " Just then , a girl's bright , clear laughter echoed from the screen . "Amber ! Slow down ! " Amber's face appeared on the screen . In the midst of the vast , snow - covered mountains , Amber beamed , running toward me . " Catch this ! " She tossed a snowball at me . " My poor daughter ! " Amber's father cried out , collapsing before the large screen in the arena . Seeing Amber's smiling face , he couldn't hold back his grief anymore and collapsed into a fit of sobs . Ten years ago , after Amber's suicide , this once lively and talkative pack beta had turned completely gray overnight . Every day since , he had gone to the pack house , asking the Alpha , " Have you caught the murderer ? " But every time , the Alpha could only shake his head helplessly . Back then , there were no surveillance cameras in the pack , and my house was on the outskirts of the pack territory . No one knew who had followed Amber that night .
