The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake
When Aria Harrington returns home to find her family murdered and her twin sister Lira sacrificed to pay a debt, she vows revenge on the ruthless Alpha Kol Lannister— the man who ordered their deaths.
I pressed my palm to the fresh dirt. "You loved him once, Lira."
What a bittersweet lie.
I thought Lira had met Alpha Kol by chance and they fell in love but after the story my uncle had told me, I realised Lira hadn't loved him. She was forced to and she wanted out. But she wasn’t smart enough.
Well, I wouldn't make that mistake.
"I'll make sure he dies loving me."
————
Three years later, Aria returns, using her uncanny resemblance to Lira to stoke Kol’s obsession. But when Kol forces her into a sham marriage, Aria discovers the horrifying truth: Lira is alive, and she’s been pulling the strings from the shadows.
Now, Aria must choose between her revenge and the twisted bond forming with Kol even as she begins to question herself— Why did Lira fake her death, and what is her plan now? Does Kol truly love her, or is this punishment for Lira’s betrayal? What does Uncle Jarek know about Lira that Aria doesn’t? And most importantly, will she follow through on her revenge, or will she completely fall for the very man she had vowed to kill?

Chapter: A Possible Abomination?KolBreakfast that morning was supposed to be simple. But I could tell something was off, even before I sat down.Emory was on his seat, lowering his head with one hand tapping against the table and the other pushing his eggs around like he didn’t want to eat them. He barely looked up at his mother when she got into her chair.She tried. Of course she did.“How’s school?” she asked lightly, like maybe his mood would lift if she kept it casual.“Fine,” he muttered, without even looking at her. “Just… schoolwork.”Hi answer did not satisfy anyone. Even Aria at least. I could see it in her eyes, how she became suspicious as she studied him.“Why is it that every time we have breakfast, we tend to Emory’s emotional needs like he’s some type charity case?” Gina asked, irritated.“Shut up, Gina.” Mina retorted, under her breath.I didn’t say anything during breakfast. There wasn’t any point. But when the plates were cleared and Emory had already gone upstairs, I met Aria near the ha

Chapter: An Unhealthy Obsession EmoryThe atmosphere in the house changed a tad but the moment my mother and father walked in after returning from their so called ‘run’.How I noticed wasn’t because the smell of the woods clung to them, or the dirt in their clothes, to be honest, I couldn’t care less about those details. It was the way they moved. Side by side, but not talking. Without smiling. Aria’s eyes were distant, like they were lost in something she didn’t want to talk about. And Kol seemed like he was beating this weight, this burden, that he didn’t want anyone to notice.And I noticed it all.I rested my back against the doorframe to the hallway, staring at them. “Where’d you two really go?” I asked, with my voice sharper than I had intended.My mother blinked twice like she hadn’t seen me present before her. “For a run,” she said, too quickly.I looked at Kol. “And?”Kol’s mouth tightened. “It is not that important, Emory.”That was it. No explanation. No details. Only the way that they had dismissed

Chapter: The Leclair’sAriaWe moved deep into the woods, in search of any house that could possibly be the witch’s house. We had been walking for close to an hour now, yet, there was still no sign of the witch’s home. Could she even still be here after all these years? Was she someone that wanted to be found? “Do you think we should give up and just go back home?” I asked, already tired from the amount of walking we had been doing.“We should keep going, Aria.” Kol encouraged.We went on for some minutes in silence, before Kol broke it.“You’ve been here before?” Kol asked, glancing back.“No,” I said. “Why would you think that?”He nodded, crossing over a thick root. “Well, I am telling you, just in case we get cursed, I will blame you.”I smirked. “You will be dead before you’d be able to point any fingers at me.”He laughed and the years of bitterness between us faded into a lighter air. We started to converse freely as we walked together, a conversation we had not had in many years.He then pointed to

Chapter: Ghost EyesAriaI’d been pacing my room for an hour, trying to recall things from my past. What could it have been that I was missing?Rain’s face wouldn’t leave my mind. That look when she saw me, she was not just startled, she was not just cautious. It was recognition. Recognition dipped in fear.It made my skin itch.But no matter how far back I went through memory lane, I couldn’t find anything. Nothing to tie her to me. Nothing to tie her to Kol’s enemies. And I knew there were enough of those to fill three lifetimes. Could she be from Lira’s twisted past instead? That thought made my stomach turn.I sat on the edge of my bed, pressing my palms into my thighs, trying to force a memory. Something. Anything.But nothing came. And with a sigh, I got up and went down the hall to Kol’s room. I needed someone that wasn’t Emory to talk to. And if anything, he could be of help.He was seated at the side of his bed with his shirt half buttoned, and his hair a wet mess probably from taking a shower.

Chapter: You Have SecretsEmory I woke up the next morning still thinking about Rain. And it wasn’t in the dreamy, sweet kind of way. It was in the haunting kind. The kind that made your chest heavy and your pulse uneven.Her expression from yesterday, startled, pale, almost terrified, kept looping through my mind. It didn’t look like she was confused or surprised. It the look in her face looked like she was scared. And it definitely was not the fear of meeting a new face. No, lit was the fear of seeing a ghost you thought was buried long ago.“She knew my mother,” I muttered under my breath, sitting up in bed. “That wasn’t the face of a stranger.”I kept checking my phone even though I knew she wouldn’t text. She’d left too quickly, too suddenly. No goodbye. Just a muttered excuse and the click of the door closing.And yet, I couldn’t just move in and forget about it. When I got to school, we saw one another at the same time, but Rain hurried down the corridor, holding her books tight like they were some b

Chapter: The Mystery in Her EyesEmoryFriday.I’d waited all week for this day to come. Not because of some class, or because it meant the weekend was near, but because Rain was coming over after school. Rain. The girl of whom I had been thinking about all week and as well filling the white spaces of my canvas.I could not stop smiling in the hall before first period. I saw Jason by the lockers elbowing me.“She’s coming over today.”Jason didn’t even ask who. “Rain? Yeah, I figured. Don’t mess it up.”“I won’t,” I said with more confidence than I felt. “I got the snacks. Cleaned the room. Made sure no one would bother us.”Jason raised a brow. “You remember the part where she’s quiet and mysterious and not the type who swoons over setups, right?”“Which is why I’m keeping it low-key. Just us. Just... normal.”Jason patted my shoulder. “There’s nothing normal about you. Good luck.”On the ride back home, I sat in the car with Mina and Gina. Rain’s arrival was close and every tick of the clock made me more antsy.“I

Jade asked."For your type of person...crack would do just fine" Deryn jeered."Ha ha ha it's not for me it's for someone, someone stronger than me, even you" Jade said with a grin as she folded her arms."Whatever, here you go" Deryn said as he gave her the drug."How much?" Jade asked as she collected it."25" Deryn said then Jade gave him the money."If this doesn't work I'll need a refund, whether you like it or not" Jade said sternly and then she left the room hiding the drugs in the back pocket of her jeans. On coming out of the room, she saw Justin and Tristan bringing in a badly injured Landon from outside."What happened? Let me guess, you got into a fight with my boyfriend?" Jade jeered."Get the fuck away from me" Landon said in annoyance and then Tristan and Justin took Landon to the bathroom."Ugh! Rude" Jade said while rolling h

She called him cause he was wasting her time."Jake, my patience is running thin, where the fuck are you?""I'll be out in a sec" Jake responded and then he hung up. He turned to Dahlia who wasn't still speaking to him and told her that he was going to the party and she didn't reply to him."Dahlia, I'm sorry for the other day" Jake stressed but still no response from Dahlia and then he left to meet Jade. "Hoodies and shorts are fucking kidding me Jake? This is a Landon Tate's party not an early morning jog out sesh with the elderlies. I'm not going to that party with you on that!" Jade stressed disgusted."Alright then" Jake said not bothered and as he turned around and headed back to his house entran

Anyone and everyone are welcomed" Landon said with a smile. Everyone dispersed after Landon was done with his announcement. School was over and Jade walked back with Jake to his house. They walked in silence until Jade decided to break it."You look upset, you wanna tell me what's going on?" Jade asked with a smile but Jake ignored her."Jake, I'm talking to you. You know, it's fucking annoying how you always have to air me out" Jade stressed annoyed but Jake still ignored her. She got annoyed and got in front of Jake."Jake!" Jade yelled. As she rose her hands to hit him in order to get his attention,

Ms Flora asked as Liam rose his hands in the air."What's your name?" She asked."Liam, Liam Cowell" Liam responded."Ok Liam, do you think you can take this test on natural science?""I think I can" Liam answered unsurely."He's unsure Ms Flora. The test has to be postponed" Holly insisted and the whole class were with her."Everyone shut up! Liam can take the test, so we are having the test today" Ms Flora concluded."On second thought, I don't think I can take this test" Liam said."What?" Ms Flora asked confused."The thing is...

Don't you forget that part" Celeste said with a smirk on her face as Nathaniel stared at her with resentment."Oh and don't you forget that Jake will only see you as his best friend and nothing more" Nathaniel retorted."How many times do you have to remind me of this Nathaniel, and I'll tell you the same thing I told you the last time. You will die alone by Anika's side and the both of you will rot in hell. Now leave my cabin" Celeste ordered and Nathaniel did as she said in spite. *********************"Marry Celeste?"

Jade knew that she had a leash on them so she could do and say whatever she pleased. She hopped on their bed and asked Jake to stay with her. He had no other choice but to do as she said. She told him to kiss him on the lips and he refused."What part of being my boyfriend don't you understand Jake?" Jade asked annoyed."He's celibate" Dahlia said in his defence."I don't know if you guys understand that I have a clip showing the atrocities you guys have down your basement and that I know that you're a witch, so don't fucking underestimate me" Jade declared angrily."I still love Sky, Jade. Just you remember that" Jake said and then he went for a kiss that lasted for a short while."I'm gonna be staying over for the night. So Dahlia, go find someplace to sleep in okay?"

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE: LONE WOLFANDREA'S POVThis is me Andrea Brigadier, running from my duties as the next alpha of my father's pack. I was in my wolf form so I could run faster plus the wedding dress was getting in my way most of the time. Being in my wolf form was a bit crazy since I was already in the humans' territory, so I decided to turn human. The only problem I had was where to get new clothes from cause I was going to be naked the moment I turn. I saw light coming from a small house ahead of me so I decided to run towards it. As I got there, I got caught by a boy. He looked roughly 18-19. He dragged me into the house with the chains he had around my neck and kept me locked up in a room. The house looked abandoned. I wondered why someone about my age would be living in such. He made a phone call and it went through. I could barely hear what they were talking about. It was almost as if he lined the chains with wolfsbane because I was getting weak.Subsequently, he came into the room he had me in with some

The experiment cannot be on hold any longer" Mrs Barnsley yelled out the phone."I'm trying my very best, I'll get them as soon as possible. Maybe you could call a meeting, that could work" my father suggested."No way! It will soil the treaty. War could break out" Mrs Barnsley replied."I'll make sure nothing that happens. Just carry out the plan then or there will be no other way" m

I was in a shed standing next to a mirror admiring the white dress I had on when Joshua came in."You look beautiful...your parents would be so proud" he said with a high smile on his face."I wish they were here to see me in my wedding gown, to walk me down the aisle..." I said in a sad tone and then Joshua interrupted me."I was your father's right-hand man. Whenever he wasn't around, I would step up in his place. I'm here for you Andrea... I always will be" Joshua said as he pat me on the shoulder."I got you these" he continued bringing out a beautiful pearl necklace. Then he wore them around my neck. I felt the pearls against my neck and then I looked in the mirror."I look just like her" I said almost in tears."Very beautiful indeed. I'll be back in a sec" Joshua said and then he left. A few minutes later, Lucien came in."Go away. It's bad luck to s

Now the time has come" Lucien said. I then realized why Joshua left just the both of us alone in the apartment. "It's okay if you don't wanna do it, it actually is silly when you think of it" Lucien said reluctantly."I don't think this is something we can easily just back out of" I said knowing fully well that Joshua wouldn't let me disobey my father's wishes."Back out of what?" Joshua asked as he entered the house. He overheard a part of our conversation. Lucien was reluctant to speak but I stood up to his father."An arranged marriage, why didn't you tell me?"

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE: THE CALLAndrea's POVI was in my grade 12 when I heard the most shocking news of my life. Never had I imagined that the day will come not to talk of it coming this soon. I was in the class in a school for just us werewolves when I heard my name over the PA system - "Andrea Brigadier please report to my office" I was quite surprised, though my father was an alpha and I was used to getting my name called by everyone and anyone, her tone sounded a bit shaky like she were sad. I left the class to meet her in her office and she looked at me almost in tears. Our principal was really emotional. The slightest thing would make her cry a river. I just sat there staring at her as she wiped away her tears. She tried to communicate with me but the proper words didn't just come out. Moments later, she gathered enough courage to speak."I hate to be the person to tell you this but...your parents are dead" Mrs Patricia said.Her words hit me like a stray bullet.
