PAULINE

I closed my two eyes tightly, my breathing fast and shallow. I was waiting for it. I was waiting for the Chiefs to scream, for the guards to grab me, and for the final order to cut my head off to be given. I was tired. I didn't want to beg anymore. I had cried all my tears in that cell, and if the price of my love for Ricardo was my life, then let them take it.

Ten minutes passed with my eyes shut. The silence in the lounge was so heavy it felt like a physical weight. No one moved. No o

  • A MIRROR OF MALICE   TRAPPED

    PAULINERicardo said he was going to change, and he was a man of his word. He changed for real. The man who used to worship the ground I walked on was gone, replaced by a cold Alpha who acted like a machine.In the middle of the night, the peace of the house was shattered by a phone call. It was Maria. I could hear her shrill, crying voice through the receiver even from across the bed. She was complaining that Leo had finally moved out of their bedroom. He had taken his things and moved into a guest room down the hall, refusing to even look at her.Ricardo’s face turned into a mask of stone. Without saying a word to me, he got up, grabbed his pillow, and walked out. He went to the guest wing to sleep alone, just as my brother was doing to his sister. He was keeping his promise: whatever Maria suffered, I would suffer too. Diana moved into the main house. She didn't go to the servant quarters or the guest house. She took the room right across from ours. The woman I had rescued from th

  • A MIRROR OF MALICE   BACK TO TEARS

    PAULINEThe air in the courtyard turned cold, even colder than the night breeze. Just minutes ago, I felt like I had won. Ricardo had stood up for me, and Diana had tried to sacrifice herself for me. I thought the bond I had built with Ricardo in our bed was stronger than anything in this world.But I forgot one thing, I am an outsider. And in this house, blood is thicker than any liquid that flows between a man and a woman.Maria, who had been standing silent and trembling, suddenly let out a piercing wail. She didn't just cry, she broke down. She fell to her knees right next to the casket of her father, her hands clutching the wood."My father is dead!" she screamed, her voice breaking into a million pieces. "He is dead because we let a viper into this house! Ricardo, look at me! Look at your sister! I am bleeding inside while you protect the woman who served the poison!"She began to speak in fast, emotional sentences. She talked about how she had tried to be a good sister, how she

  • A MIRROR OF MALICE   EVIL OR LOVED

    PAULINEThe sun had begun to set, casting long, bloody shadows over the estate. Tomorrow was the funeral, the day the late Alpha Alexander would be returned to the earth. If the real killer wasn't found by sunrise, I was the one who would be led to the gallows. I was the official suspect. The village girl who poisoned the king.The Candlelight Vigil was starting in a few minutes. It was a somber, ancient tradition where the pack gathered to light the way for the fallen leader's soul. I was dressed in a heavy black gown, the fabric itching against my skin. I stood in a far corner of the courtyard, feeling like a shadow.Evelyn and Maria stood near the front, surrounded by the high chiefs. They made a show of their grief, wiping away dry eyes with lace handkerchiefs. Every time they looked my way, they pulled their skirts aside as if I were a leper."The killer shouldn't be allowed to hold a candle," Maria whispered loud enough for the guards to hear. "She has no shame.""Clear conscien

  • A MIRROR OF MALICE   OH DIANA

    PAULINERicardo left early that morning. The house was buzzing with the heavy, dark energy of burial preparations. Black cloths were being draped over the balconies, and the smell of incense was starting to fill the hallways. He kissed me before he left, a hard, desperate kiss that tasted like he was trying to hold onto me forever. He had to meet with the undertakers and the council to finalize the burial of the late Alpha.As soon as his car pulled down the driveway, a strange restlessness took over me. I couldn't just sit in that room like a bird in a cage while my world was falling apart.Maria had been quiet—too quiet. She had been away from the main house all this while, and I wondered what life was like for her and Leo right now. My heart ached when I thought of my brother. I didn't even know if he had actually left that night he tried to rescue me, or if he was still trapped in his own "Mirror Marriage" with that woman.I felt a sudden, sharp need to find him. I needed to tell

  • A MIRROR OF MALICE   WEIRD SEX DRIVE

    PAULINEThe three days leading up to the funeral felt like a slow walk toward a cliff. This family—the Ricardos and the entire pack—never forgives and they never forget. It is in their blood. They are like wolves that hold a grudge for a lifetime.As I sat in the room, locked away from the glares of the Chiefs, my mind kept drifting back to Diana. At the mention of her name, a cold shiver ran down my spine. Could she have done it? Could she have killed her ex-husband, the father of her children, out of revenge for being banished? I started to hate myself for bringing her back to this house. If she was the killer, I would be the one blamed for his death. Everyone would say, "Why did Pauline bring that woman home?" I prayed to the Goddess that she was innocent, not for her sake, but for mine.The second day came, and there was still no report. No evidence found in Evelyn’s room. No secret bottles of toxin. Every hour that passed without a new suspect meant that I was going deeper into t

The silence in the lounge was so heavy it felt like a physical weight. No one moved. No one spoke. I expected the sound of a sword being drawn or the cold touch of shackles on my wrists. Instead, there was only the sound of a clock ticking somewhere in the distance.I was about to open my eyes, wondering if I had already died, when I heard Ricardo’s voice. It wasn't the voice of a judge or an executioner. It was low, tired, and steady."Pauline, let us go to the room. This meeting is adjourned."The words sounded like a joke to me. My eyes snapped open, and I stared at him in disbel
