The Night I Died in My Room, Dad Thought I Was Just Sulking

Elair is only twelve, but she is already Subject 11—a werewolf experiment trying to stay hidden. As silver poison weakens her, she realizes that asking for help would only reveal her and put her adoptive family in danger. So in her last three days, she pushes them away on purpose: dumping out medicine, stealing, and speaking with cruel intent, all so they will stop trying to save her. But after she dies in the red dress her father gave her, they uncover the painful truth—every act of defiance was her way of protecting them.
