ARLENE

With my dark shades on, I stepped out of the cab and paid the driver. My heart clenched when I spun around and faced the high school building that Adriana and I attended.

The building brought memories rushing into my mind and displayed before my eyes. We were young and free. Even though we weren't free to make our own decisions, we were free from the toxic and demanding society. We were free from scrutiny and making sacrifices to live.

I sucked in a deep breath and turned away from the

    CELESTE“I need to leave the Pack House.”The words hit me the moment I stepped into Arlene's bedroom the next morning.My stomach churned, and I felt a skip in my chest as I watched Arlene stuff clothes into a black duffel bag.“Where will you go to?” I asked, closing the door behind me.She paused and swung her head back for a second before resuming.“Anywhere,” she whispered in a quivering voice. “Anywhere away from this place and closer to helping me find out where the hell Salvador Vlad is at… that is, if he is still alive,” she added and brushed her hair back, then reached for another pile of clothes. I covered the space between us and grabbed her hand before she could dump them into her bag.“Stop!” I snapped at her.She stared at me, wide-eyed and pale with fear.“Those people are after my life. They're going to hurt me!” She spat out, her voice still quivering.I swallowed, and even though I didn't want this, I pulled her into a hug and ran my hand through her messy hair.“

  • Betrayed By My Lycan Sister, Became A Villain    Chapter 46 The beginning of their end

    ARLENEI stood rigid on the bridge, watching Arlene until she disappeared down the path that led to the Pack House. I sucked in a deep breath and stared down at my white knuckles, my chest tightening.I held myself from bursting into laughter when she told that story of redemption. It was just as it was said to be. Word for word. She didn't even try to miss a single plotline.“That lying bitch!” I spat out, exhaling to diminish the anger raging in my veins. I dragged my feet to the end of the bridge, dialing a number.It rang for half a minute before the lines connected.“How was her reaction?” the dark, rough voice pierced into my ears. I tilted my head back and stared at the path she had gone down.“Exactly how you predicted,” I said. “She will spend her time searching for Salvador Vlad. I will keep an eye on her and pass every piece of information to you.”There was a pause before the voice came up again.“Good.”My throat knotted, and I gripped my hands tightly.“Can I ask a quest

    ARLENEI didn't stop running until I reached an old bridge far away from the Pack house. My heart was thumping loudly against my ribs, and my breath had grown uneven.The lady's words echoed in my head, over and over, as I dragged my trembling feet towards the old bridge.I kept trudging forward, barely listening to the creaking warnings from the bridge.I slumped down and gripped my legs together as the bridge swayed slowly.There was a rushing lake underneath, and the air was cold. I closed my eyes, listening to the rushing waters, the whispering breeze, and the creaking sound from the bridge.A sigh escaped my lips, and my chest stung with pain.Was this my punishment for what I did to my sister? Or was this a warning from whoever sent that note?Sebastian was dead. He died a few days after my sister, and since his death, no one had heard any rumor of him being alive.I couldn't understand why they were all coming for me.Perhaps because I was the instigator of it all.“Just let m

    ARLENE “Find Salvador Vlad,” I whispered the words I saw on the paper as I stood in the middle of the hall, clutching a glass of wine while Celeste chatted away with the other women in the room.My body was gleaming with sweat, and my heart kept thumping wildly in my chest.Everywhere I turned, I felt the chilling feeling of someone watching me.This was supposed to be my night. But a few words had ruined it all.Besides, Salvador was proclaimed dead a few years ago. Why should I look for a dead man? Or is this a trap?I sighed and rubbed my burning forehead, my head spinning slightly from the constant worry and fear.Celeste's sharp words were slowly fading into crashing waves. The ground beneath my feet was spinning, making my legs tremble.I staggered back, feeling my weak, trembling legs give way.“Arlene!” I gasped and slumped.The halls suddenly fell silent, but instead of drowning in peaceful darkness, I felt the burning glare of haughty eyes on my skin.I let out a short ga

    ARLENEARLENEI trudged down the corridor, my mind clouded with thoughts and fear.Ever since Diana left, I hadn't been myself.I kept thinking about her words, and no matter how much I thought about them, they still made my skin crawl.Someone was after us. Someone was seeking revenge for my sister, Adriana, and whoever it was wasn't targeting the Scorpio, the organization that had caused her death. They were targeting us.Could I have been wrong about her death?I was trying so hard to convince myself that I wasn't guilty that I'd forgotten I was the true reason for her death.I rubbed my neck, gasping as chills washed down my spine.What if they knew? What if they knew the Scorpio was right here?I shook my head at the thoughts, refusing to believe them.“If they know, they won't go after Diana too,” I whispered to myself, nodding.Whether they were here for the organization or for each of us who had betrayed her, one thing was certain—I was in danger.I shook my head and rubbed my

    ARLENE I froze as I looked up, and my gaze locked with the cold gaze of Diana.I gulped hard and lowered my head, my fist clenching beside me.“She is your best friend, isn't she?” Celeste whispered as she stole excited glances at Diana.I gulped hard and gripped my fist, sinking my teeth into my lips.If only she knew that the one she thought was me had always been my sister.“Arlene?” Diana called again and began to walk briskly towards us.I shivered and gripped my fist, gulping down nothing while keeping my head as low as possible.“Hey, your friend is calling,” Celeste whispered and pinched my arm.I jerked back, my head swinging to the side.Diana was closing up on me now, but the smile on her face was gone.She grabbed my hand before I could move an inch, her eyes piercing right into mine.“What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?” She asked. But I knew that wasn't the true question she meant to ask.She wanted to ask if I was afraid of meeting her. If I were afraid my secret

It could be of help in finding what she hàs been after all these years,” he said, and my throat knotted.“What is it? Please, tell me quickly!" I blurted out, unable to hold in the curi
