After my parents cut our mind-link the 99th time, I took my Wolf Spirit Failure diagnosis to the Pack’s archives to schedule my early banishment. My parents rushed in with my adoptive sister Isabella. Father Marcus, an Enforcer, slapped me. He thought I lied for attention. Mother Evelyn, a healer, called my diagnosis a forgery. Isabella cried and begged them not to blame me. I wiped black blood from my mouth. I told the guardian I had three days left and begged to finish my banishment.
