ELINNA

The covers were forcefully dragged from my body and the curtains were moved away, forcing light to pour into the room too quickly.

“What on earth is going on? If it's not the end of the world, why are you waking me up so early? It's the damn weekend.”

Lizzy dropped the covers on the floor.

“I told you that you were going to be spending your entire day getting pampered. So get up, shower and get to the salon. Your appointment is soon.”

After hating my life as much as I could, I finally sat up without even realizing that she was still standing there.

When she saw my face, she screamed.

“What is that on your face?!”

There was no mirror around me so I couldn't tell what she was talking about.

She pointed at me while walking closer.

“You have eye bags. You have eye bags on the day that your skin should be very flawless. You're doing this to spite me, are you not?”

I knew I'd have eye bags because I stayed up late with Chase, spending as much time with him as I could. He has barely b

    ELINNAFIVE YEARS LATER“I haven't gone to the florist yet. Did you take care of that?”Carlisle looked at me with food in his mouth.“Was I supposed to?”I lost all the strength in me.“Yes! I told you that two weeks ago! I even have you a note to give to the florist. You were supposed to go to him.”He didn't seem as troubled as I was. And it was annoying because it seemed like I was over reacting.Our wedding anniversary was this weekend. Our tenth wedding anniversary and Carlisle said we should come back to the pack because he wanted to celebrate it in the pack.I didn't even think that he would even be brothers to care about it but I was surprised when he did.“You want a celebration?”He nodded.“Of course, it's a milestone and we've been through so much. We should c

    ELINNA“What did the lawyers say about Emily? Can they set her free?”He looked at me and smiled.“You’re talking like they're superheroes. Well, in this case, I don't think we have an option. They're still thinking about it. The jury failed to meet on a mutual ground. It's a hung jury basically. So for now, we have to set a retrial."Gosh, that was going to be so much work.“Do they think they can help? I mean, with the way things are going, the public is already outraged that you're helping her to begin with. They think you're going against them. And now, your lawyers are still going to represent her at the trial. What will you do?”He placed his hands on my shoulder.“Don’t worry about that. It will be fine. As long as she's able to get out, I don't think I care. She's just a scapegoat in all this and they want someone to blame. Unfortunately, they can't

    ELINNAI cried two times that day.As I watched my best friend from birth walk down the aisle with my mother holding her hand, I couldn't help the happiness that flooded my heart.Helen had been such a good friend to me and I couldn't thank her enough. She had been by my side when I needed her the most and the way she took my kids like her and took care of them just shows how much of a good mother she was going to be.She had a very pure heart and she loved others to a fault. Sam had no idea what Queen he was marrying. She looked very beautiful in this dress and I'm so happy she finally found what she liked and looked confident in..Helen had always suffered body dysmorphia for a very long time. Back in high school, she got bullied and called Fat Helen and then Fat Belly. It got so bad that she had to drop out.I did all I could to fight for her, that it got me Helen's spot when she dropped out. We still talk about it

    ELINNAA FEW MONTHS LATER.“Do you think purple suits my skin? I'm having second thoughts about the shade?”I heard Helen grunt from the outside.“If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you were the one getting married. Why are you so worried? You know, anything suits your skin. Come out, the suspense is killing me.”I smiled as I drew the curtains back.Helen gasped as soon as she saw me.“Where did Elinna go, My queen? Elinna, your body has been taken by the most beautiful woman ever! This color is perfect, and the shade too. The way the dress hugs your body? Please, I'm sure the King will be tempted to marry you all over again.”Her commentary made me laugh but then her last statement stuck with me. I actually wanted to have my wedding again because what happened years ago was not a wedding. It was a joining of desperat

    ELINNAI didn't owe anyone an explanation as to why I gave Lawrence so much authority but for the context, I just had to.A lot of people obviously thought that something was going on between Lawrence and I but they didn't realize that it was strictly platonic.As a secret to take to the grave, I made a sacrifice for Lawrence just to make sure that he was happy.When he told me that he was in love with me and that he had always been, I didn't know what to make of that. He was my best friend and he was my closest Ally. Feelings always complicated things and I knew that it was already very uncomfortable for him to have these feelings since he was supposed to be serving Carlisle and not falling for his wife.So when the Three Sisters asked me for my request, I made a simple one.“Let all his love for me turn to loyalty. And let him find happiness in another woman's arms.”That's when
