After I Died They Found Out Their Lives Were Stolen
733 Views · Ongoing · Piper Hayes
I burn through eighty years of my life raising three dogs that turn around and tear into me.
My vampire husband, Damian, used to be an outcast covered in festering sores, cursed to fear the sun. I cut my wrist and gave up thirty years of my life so he could become the most powerful man among the bloodlines, in control of half the world's wealth. Cold and ruthless to everyone else, he only ever bares his fangs for me.
Knox, the werewolf boy I grew up with, was born with a genetic flaw that kept him from ever shifting. I gave up another twenty years so he could have the strongest bloodline of all. Wild and reckless, he used to swear he'd carry me on his back for the rest of his life.
Julian, my human brother, got burned beyond recognition saving me from a fire. I spent my last thirty years giving him back a face people would pay a fortune for. He used to send crates of his paintings to my room, the kind of work people would kill to own.
Then a woman named Daphne shows up, and all three of them lose their minds over her.
And somehow I become the jealous, vicious wife everyone wants gone.
She cries that I pushed her, so they drive blades of blood straight through my bones.
She says I'm cruel to the staff, so they break my legs in front of a crowd.
And when I'm dying, they drain my blood to keep her alive.
If you're all going to treat the life I gave you like trash, then I'm taking it back. The strength, the face, the life. All of it.
[God, I take it back. I want everything I gave them returned to me.]
