~Isabella ~The hardest part of my plan was getting Charlotte to drink from the glass I had prepared for her. I watched as she earlier rejected the champagne guy and paid quite a lot. But it can't just be over when I was just getting started. I warned him to stay around until she wanted to order something to drink. From afar, I stood and watched every of her movement. . A victorious smile played on my lips, seeing that she had finally taken a sip of the water. Not just a sip; she gulped the whole content down all at once. Big Sis has gotten wiser, and if she ever sees me at the event, she will be really extra careful. I knew she would be suspicious of any drink she's given, so it was the glass I meddled with and not the wine. As long as she drank anything from that glass.Thankfully, Alpha didn't come with her; I didn't see him beside her when they walked in, so he's probably busy somewhere, and I wholeheartedly wish it's somewhere far from the hotel. And even the pack in general.
~Charlotte~I didn't drink any alcohol, but my head was so heavy and my vision was getting blurry. I tried to hold it in. Maybe I was sick or something.All the scents mixed together, and I am probably feeling choked because of that. I looked around, and the waiter that was lurking around me earlier had disappeared. He wasn't anywhere around me like he was before I took the water. My eyes caught Isabella as I looked around. She quickly averted her eyes once our eyes met. Isabella was here. What the hell, and why has she been hiding up until now? Isabella, I know, always wants to be in the spotlight at events. What the hell is she planning?I knew something was definitely not right. I stared at the entrance, but a lot of people were crowded there. The ball was about to start, so it doesn't make sense for me to leave at this point. I staggered in the bathroom to avoid the crowd for a while. I wonder where and who Kiara left me for. Luckily, no one was in the bathroom when I entere
"Big sis, this time, I will get exactly what I want. Let's see how much you will continue to brag after I have made your mate despise you. You could have just stayed low like we did during our childhood. You did what was asked and stayed hidden, but suddenly, big sis, you want to take all my glory?""You have finally lost it, Isabella. Are you out of your mind?"I managed to stand up in her arms. But then she carefully led me far away from the crowd. "We would see who is out of their mind after tomorrow's news headline. What you think won't matter anymore, it's now what the pack thinks that matters."Isabella going all out and not pretending anymore only means that she has me at the dead end. I don't know what she's planning, though, but I was already feeling so many goosebumps. I clutched my purse tightly, as if that were going to give me any balance to leave. I tried to steady my footsteps as I staggered against the walls in the opposite direction of where Isabella was heading befo
~Charlotte~A layer of sweat covered my face. I butted my lips so painfully that it almost started bleeding. At that point, I was running and trying to get hold of my phone as well. If I could dial the pack's police number, at least they would come running to save me. I didn't know the exact number my finger was clicking, but I was sure I was running as fast as I could with my three-inch heel; however, walking Isabella wasn't just very far from me. "Big sis. You are too naive. Nothing is going to save you this time. So please stop trying."My phone rang suddenly at that moment, and I could see it was Ethan. Was he back? Or was he calling for me to wish him a goodnight before he would be able to sleep?I answered the call quickly before Isabella got to me. I made sure of one thing. Even though I was sure I wasn't going to escape that easily, I made sure I ran to a side that had a CCTV camera. Isabella might be wise, but she isn't that smart to know when someone is using her plans ag
I could barely stand straight now.I tried to walk faster, but it was useless. The sound inside the room was tormenting me enough.Someone like Isabella deserved this, but then she is my sister. I don't know if I was being wicked and brutal to her.I entered the elevator. At this point, I just wanted to go back home and cozy up in bed since my mate isn't around. At least I have met about seven people who were positive about investing in my company; Ethan would complete the rest for me. Once the elevation reached the last floor, I noticed that the ball was still going on. I could obviously collapse and create a scene if I followed the main idea. I walked to the last end of the opposite direction, and there was no fucking exit on that side. I sighed and struggishly dragged myself in the opposite direction. If Kiara was there, she would have saved me a lot, and I would have at least rested for a while in the room she went to reserve for me. As I stepped out of the pitch-black prison c
I slammed the door of my car once I got out of it. My dark eyes coldly stared at the last location sunshine shared to me.."Alpha Ethan? ""Wasn't he out of the pack ?"I ignored the mummur from the entrance."He came back?" Came from the supposed stepmother to my mate. The moment she saw me, her feet became rooted to the ground. I quickly took my gaze away, acting as though I saw nothing. I know how much ill treatment she had given to my mate but that would be a punishment for another day. However I didn't give her an opportunity to escape. I ignored the few that had gathered around me with a freezing cold gaze. However it seemed the crowd where divided, some where watching with keen interest at the stage. I walked hastily to see Charlotte staggering to maintain her posture.Those men won't live to.see the next day if they dare to mishandle sunshine.Her hair was messy and her expression vacant. She probably don't even know that she had managed to get everyone's attention on her.
"We were chasing the rogues, through the woods..they are.more.than ten that came this time""Why are they determined to get to my pack? Does my father have any past history with them. However, I feel like I know what they want, they didn't just come for anyone, they where trying to make it to my house, to my wife, to my mate. How special is she that they won't leave her alone Vincent?" I asked with the anger boiling inside of me. "I am not sure about Luna's abilities however, Matteo was also present in the event. Now he knows her face won't she be at more risk? Should I ask some guys to secretly watch her? " Vincent suggested. This couldn't get any more worse than it is already. Her family are already a handful of enemies and now added to the ones I won her . "Don't worry, get me the divorce attorney""What? You... You are planning to divorce the only woman that made you smile?""Why? Can't I do that atleast? Haven't she being through enough already?" My voice was louder and I was l
Two weeks later,.It was our third anniversary, and I was preparing a delicious meal for my mate. He has been so busy lately tending to the pack's needs and making sure I don't leave the house for whatever reason. Ethan has gone to work as usual, and he will be back anytime soon. I am very nervous. I wanted everything to taste perfectly, but I am not sure if I have gotten the opportunity to make him nice meals for a long time now. Three years of marriage might not be so special to others, but to me, it was a great thing of joy that I am alive to witness a day I couldn't witness in my previous life. Honestly, I thought changing my fate was going to be a hard nut to crack, but maybe because of Ethan by my side, nothing has fallen apart. Isabella has been in the hospital, receiving treatment for the affliction she brought upon herself. I only made sure I took care of the media to be sure that the news of the incident wouldn't be a gossipy topic among the pack members or even the coun
