The sound of guests cheering filled the room, what did they ever know, blinded by the surface, never understanding what lingered beneath.I looked up to see her, faking her smile like her life depended on it.She was too timid to be true, a victim that was forged out of obligations. Our obligations.I didn’t plan to marry her, I wanted her sister.But fate had a way of intervening and the story checks out.Her bouquet was wrapped back after the wedding play.And we waved goodbye as we entered the black decorated SUV, made especially for our newly wedded affairs.The cameras clicked,paparazzi lashed their lights, waiting for a mistake.But that won’t happen, so I quickly opened the door for her in the backseat, entertaining their lovely wedded act.She entered, traces of her lace sweeping gently into the car.And at that I took a bow at them, and they all took their final sight at us.We were fast driven in the car, silence reigned and none of us could break the air between us.I could

I stood there, the heaviness of my veil weighed down on me, like it was reminding me, clarifying that I was indeed the substituteThe lace scratched over my skin, suffocating as though it knew it didn’t belong to me. That I wasn’t supposed to wear it.The gown wasn’t mine, and this day, thus cursed day was never meant for me.Mother’s sharp voice rang in my ears, reminding me of the title I held and not to screw it up.Not to screw my family’s business in the mud, because my behavior at this weapon would determine my fathers business future.“Smile.. you’ve always kept a borny face; not today”she said, but how could I smile ?How could I laugh and let my cheekbones betray me?when I know the void that is feeling inside of me.Sure they would be happy, but me… no one really knew what I wanted.“Stop fidgeting, when the doors open, you smile, do you hear me?” She ordered again.The repetition of laughter I had to carry.Smile?, when my sister had run off and left me to pick pieces of h

I stood there feeling empty,I knew he felt nothing for me but how it hurt badly was on another volume.It was all because I wasn’t good enough,my sister “Katherine”had all the beauty,all the brains,all the curves,I was only her shadow… only her unexpected creation.No wonder boys I’ve ever liked only seemed interest in me to get to her.SighI let out a deep heavy breath as I counted my chest to make the pain subside. My throat felt sore from screaming silently and before I could ache some more.Mia saw me devastated in the hall corridor.“What happened Olivia?”She asked with a look or worry and disbelief.“He.. he doesn’t like… me”I said, pouncing on every word,split like a fire setting rain.“Then how on earth did he agree to wed you already?”My heart sank into an epilepsy.What?.. How?… Wasn't he like the one who just gave me the worst rejection of my life ?Thoughts spiraled in my mind. It didn’t make sense,none of it did.“Are you sure of what you’re saying Mia?”I asked and she

Something was odd but I couldn’t pinpoint it ,the air was filled with a spring of disappointment and I could sense the coming trail that would await.“Where is Katherine”I asked one of the event manager.Ofcourse they wouldn’t know,how would they,their job was just to decorate and get paid ... .well with free food.I had kept walking through the halls till I stumbled on my family doors,I heard arguments chirping in,from Olivia back to her mother before I finally heard my fathers ruthless voice.I had heard it all,and I refuse to let that happen,never to her.“Whatever plans you have in mind Father,call it till zero”I barged in…speaking without fear to my dad.To him he was the emperor,filled with wrath,I was nothing like him…but I could borrow some characters when needed.To me,he was just a spoiled parent ... .Yes, that was the right word to use for someone who would use their children just to gain a business collaboration.Like we were some scale that marked his profit and loss.“You

Today was the wedding, and Kathrine was nowhere to be seen."Your sister isn't answering any of her calls," my father says, eyes filled with worry as he dialed Kathrine's number for what seemed the hundredth time."The wedding is about to start. Where could she possibly be?" my mother asks, her voice filled with concern. She paces from one end of the room to the other while my father dials my sister's number again. Just like the others, it goes straight to voice mail. This was bad, this was really bad. Hundreds of people were already out there waiting for the bride to show up; how were my parents supposed to go out there and tell them the bride was a no-show?"Maybe she's stuck in traffic," I offer, but even I don't believe my words. The door of the dressing room swings open, and in walked Xavier's father, shit, he did not look happy. Standing at a height of 6'1, Adrian Sinclair stood in the middle of the dressing room, his gaze intimidating as they fixated on my parents. "Where is y

My parents' home looked like something that crawled out of an Elle Décor Magazine. The living room had several pieces of furniture, including a large white sofa which sat at the center of it all and in front of it a large marble coffee table. On the other side of the room was a glass case showcasing my father's priced book collections, and next to it was my father's favorite painting of a majestic horse."Your skin looks dry," my mother examined with critical eyes. She stood across from me, her own skin glowing with a milky opalescent that almost seemed too fake. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a bun, and her eyes did little to hide the disapproval she felt."Have you been attending your monthly facial?" she asks, her eyes lingering on my neck."Yes, Mother," I reply, forcing a smile."Good. You're not getting any younger, you know; it's good that you make an effort to maintain your youth." Ever since Kathrine's engagement to Xavier, my mother has made it a habit to constantly remi

Her words shouldn’t have pierced me, but yet they did. My chest tightened with a heat I couldn’t name:Lucien and Eva?Those were two names that was never bound together, two fate that was never connected and yet she says that those two have something I didn’t know about.Nonsense !!I was furious, refusing to believe her shallow voice, that was who she was, a manipulative gaslighting hag, a wolf filled with deception.“You expect me to believe this?” I growled, my claws still half unsheathed at her throat.“I expect nothing”Astra wheezed, eyes wild but lips curled into a smirk. “What a blinf Alpha you are, I’ll be generous to let you see the truth through my eyes” She said, this… this parables again.“Talk damn wolf” I yelled, the pack outside must be hearing, eavesdropping on the walls but I couldn’t care less.“Temper Kael, I was also shocked that she magically re appeared, but when your not gathered by emotions you start to put pieces together”“My instincts, they tell me that

“He’s coming from you and him” Eryx said, his small hands clenching to me in fear and expectation. He was waiting for the danger, I didn’t know what was more dangerous, the cloaked figure or my son who ripped lungs minutes ago.I didn’t answer immediately,my eyes were locked on the figure in the red cloak. His steps still as steady as the cold wind of snow blew between our legs, then he stood fts from us, standing motionless, like a predator waiting for its moment.The forest around us has sensed the immune darkness that had raided us, trees talked with their movement, wind blowing beneath my fingers, and the cold snow razzling like it knew the threat in front of us.Every nerve in her body screamed to run, to flee from this environment. But that would cost me the presence of my son, the one who I had just found, that was not possible, I was ready to protect this boy till the ends of the earth.“Stay behind me” I whispered, shifting Eryx to my back, he hesitated but obeyed tucking hi

I watched her leave with that curse she had adored.Eryx shadows clinging to her like death reborn.My wolf thrashed in me, a feeling I had to restrain.I wanted to drag her back, to lock her where she would be safe.I wanted to bury his throat, to stamp on the Vernon he was touched with. But an Alpha didn’t act on impulse An Alpha doesn’t grieve and let his emotions capture the serenity. No, an Alpha restrains and thinks. Build the blocks step by step and plan.I am that Alpha, I wasn’t like that before, and only acted at the east journey, taking the route of the already made, but not anymore… I was determined to behave like an Alpha, a leader and that would be done strategically.I went back inside, and just like I had imagined, words had spread round the pack.They had known of the accursed, of the child should never be.I turned to the pack, their eyes restless,lips drawn back over teeth. They were restless and hungry for condemnation.“She shouldn’t be alive, the boy smells w

Kael didn’t stop me, he never had and I couldn’t expect him to do anything for me. I was content with what I had found, my boy, his boy, our child which he plans to cast out.He always loved the easier way out , what an Alpha that makes him.I was lost in thoughts as we both walked out of Blackridge woods, let them come ,I was more than ready to defend my child.And so they came, in an instant I felt the swift of people moving, it was so fast ,so tense that I found it hard to pace my steps.“Mother !” Eryx had called to me, he didn’t just call with an ordinary look, he called out of fear and a hidden loyalty.Just like that I saw it right before my eyes , he took action and grabbed one of the unknown figures arms. Dead blood in his eyes, I saw a child devouring a full grown abnormal figure. Tearing it limp from limb, strength conveyed in a way that even Kael, his father would’ve been jealous of.This was no child, no this was a weapon, a half breed weapon that was choked by every moti

This was all because of me, the child that was before me became an entity of hate, all because of me.His sinister politeness wept pores in my skin. I could feel every ounce of treachery spiral, to think my heir was to be the one who wants to end my bloodline, to end his own mother.“My sole purpose has been to kill you mother” he said, and my heart traded into shades of guilt and agony.“Who sent you ?” I said to him, it was evident his former allies were not friendly.It was visible in his appearance, like a younger mini me, lean but muscular with an aura so supreme it even held his mother to cut.“It is not who sent me but why I was sent “He said, that was already portrayed, his sole mission was murder. “You will speak when I command,” I said, fed up with his evil curtesy.“And you shall command with caution” he said, spitting in her face and name.It was then I knew that I couldn’t accept him, he was a curse, a mistake burned out of me. And before he could do anything to harm Ev

The gates swept open as guards came in, I heard the words loud and clear.“A child, with features of Kael and my eyes”That was my child!. I rushed inwardly to the guards with disbelief and hope at the same time. Their eyes wavered at my presence, fidgeting in fear, heads bent below and I would say I loved every bit of it.“Luna your grace” One of the guards uttered such discreet words. Luna ?… do they now yield to me because they saw the second option was their flesh getting torn ?“Hold your tracks, I was never your Luna, more like your sacrifice” I spat at them, each word holding truce, they shivered at the sound of my voice and I continued the interrogative torture.“I did not walk up here to see your fake royalties, answer as I speak, what child did you see ?”Silence for some seconds before a bolder one summoned courage to answer, eyes still facing beneath the ground.“A child, a male child born with the Lord Alpha features but his eyes took a resemblance to yours”.“Direct m
