My sister kicked over my corpse, disgusted that I wasn't dying convincingly enough

Introduction
Before dying, with my broken, blood-stained finger, I dialed the last desperate call for help.
On the other end of the phone, her tone was filled with scorn and impatience: "Vincent, can't you even tolerate a little grievance from your younger brother? Let's just cancel the engagement, and I'll replace you with him as the groom."
Later, I truly died.
My soul drifted in mid-air, watching coldly as the whole family thought I was faking death to make a scene. My older sister even kicked over my disfigured body on the haystack in disgust: "Get up right now, stop pretending to be pitiful here!"
Until the flashlight's beam completely illuminated my ghastly, rigid face, and the shattered phone screen, still stuck on the moment she hung up, clutched tightly in my dead hand...
That forever aloof, arrogant female CEO finally went weak in the knees, kneeling in the foul-smelling, blood-soaked filth, and utterly lost her mind.
Chapter 1
When my soul drifted out of the stable, I heard my sister Natalie's voice.
In the distance, the main house of the Clarke family farm was brightly lit. They had arrived.
"Been out for three days and still not back? Throwing a tantrum, are you?" Natalie stood on the porch of the farmhouse, phone pressed to her ear, her tone full of impatience. It was the family butler on the other end. She snorted coldly, "Got it, don't bother with him. He can just go die out there if he's so capable."
I drifted behind her into the living room.
The fireplace was lit, driving away the early autumn chill. Father, Richard, was flipping through a newspaper. Mother, Caroline, held a teacup. And my bride-to-be, Grace, sat on the sofa with one slender leg crossed over the other, casually flipping through a financial magazine. Dylan leaned meekly against the armrest of her sofa, listening to her plan tomorrow's riding route.
"The butler says Vincent hasn't been home for three days," Natalie threw her phone onto the coffee table.
Mother frowned. "How long is he going to carry on? His brother almost fell into depression over a breakup, and as the older brother, can't he just postpone the wedding a bit? He has no manly tolerance at all."
Father put down the newspaper. "He's been like this since he was a child, always pulling disappearing acts, waiting for the whole family to beg him. No one pays him any attention this time. This bad habit needs to be cured."
Mother sneered. "If he's so ungrateful, it's best he never comes back."
I drifted in the corner, listening quietly. Once, I would have been in pain, would have argued. But now, souls cannot shed tears.
Dylan lowered his head, biting his lower lip. "Dad, Mom, don't blame brother... It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so emotional, Sister Grace wouldn't have suggested postponing the wedding..." His voice was soft, fragile, and full of guilt, like a harmless puppy.
Mother pulled his hand over, her heart aching. "Silly child, what does it have to do with you? Vincent is just narrow-minded himself."
Dylan lowered his head, his thumb flying across his phone screen.
[Hope you're enjoying the trouble you brought upon yourself. Compete with me for Grace? Are you even worthy? She taught me how to ride today. Her hands were so warm. Drop dead. It's best if you never show your face in front of us again.]
Send. Delete history.
He looked up, his eyes slightly red, reverting to that pure and innocent younger brother.
My soul drifted by the window, watching this scene, wanting to laugh but making no sound.
Today was supposed to be my and Grace's wedding day. I should have been in a custom-tailored tuxedo, listening to this lofty chaebol daughter crisply and decisively say "I do" before the priest.
But because of Dylan's "heartbreak" over a non-existent ex, Grace had lightly and matter-of-factly decided to postpone the wedding: "Vincent, Dylan is very fragile right now emotionally. As the head of the family, I need to take care of everyone's feelings. It's just two weeks. Don't be so petty."
Three nights ago, I stormed out of the house. The cold wind was less biting than the cracks in my heart. I didn't notice the dark van following me—several pairs of hands covered my head with rough cloth and stuffed me into the trunk.
The car drove for a long time. Gradually, the air carried the scent of hay and the snorts of horses. They threw me into the private farm stable of the Clarke family itself—chaining my ankle, like a dog.
Those thugs didn't know me at all, let alone that they had dumped their prey on the prey's own turf.
For three whole days.
Blades slicing open my chest, cigarette butts pressed against my collarbone, flesh bursting open. Endless humiliation and torment.
On the third day, the leader, drunk, smashed a heavy lead pipe against the back of my head. Blood gushed from my nose and mouth. My body convulsed like a dying animal.
He panicked. "Fuck! I was just paid to scare him! I didn't want a death on my hands!"
The chains were frantically undone. Footsteps rushed out of the stable.
The world finally fell silent. I lay on the cold, muddy ground, fumbling with trembling fingers for the kicked and shattered phone.
I dialed my mother's number. It was hung up with a "Stop pretending to be pitiful."
I dialed Grace's number. The woman I loved for three years coldly sentenced me to death with, "I'm going to replace you with the more obedient Dylan as the groom."
The phone fell into the filth and blood. I wanted to say, "Save me," but only bloody froth bubbled up in my throat.
At the last moment of my life, I thought: Grace finally got her wish. She always found me boring, stubborn, not as pleasing as Dylan. Now, she was completely free.
And at this very moment, in the living room less than sixty yards from my cold corpse, they were gathered around the warm fireplace, blaming me for being "unreasonable." No one knew I was already dead.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
