“What are you talking about?” I was now shaking, with mixed emotions rushing through my veins. If she lost her memory and woke up in my body, why didn’t she question anything?
Why didn’t she ask them why she looked like Serena? They sure mentioned a part of her memory. So whatever part is left with her should question her existence as Serena now. Why didn’t she?
“She lost her memory. She only remembers the basics of her daily life,” Aunt Marissa thought, repeating after Daxon would clear everything to me, but it confused me even more.
“What is going on? Why is Arlene so mad at me?” Serena finally broke the silence and spoke up after quietly listening to us for the past few minutes.
I was flabbergasted and left with nothing but shock. How convenient for her to lose her memory at the exact time when she was going to be questioned?
“She is lying,” I pointed at her since nobody really thought it was weird, “She is---,” I grunted, unable to escape my mother’s gaze.
“What am I lying about?” she started looking around and panicking, reaching for Daxon’s attention. He swiftly sat down with her and took her into his embrace. While it happened right in front of my eyes, I have once again met a dead end.
She really had it all planned and sorted out, didn’t she?
I did feel stupid enough for announcing my plans beforehand to her. I gave her a chance to get ready for my strike and even shield herself with a new game. How the hell will I convince them now?
“If she didn’t leave the room right now, I swear I will get my hands on her,” Daxon yelled while holding her close in his arms. It would have been much better had he just snatched my heart and crush it under his feet because watching them together was a worse feeling than that would be.
“But I am telling yo---,” I tried once again but failed.
“Stop it!” My uncle yelling at me was my cue to shut up. If he didn’t want to listen anymore, nobody with ears was going to hear me.
I have lost my only chance, thanks to my sister’s evil genius mind.
“I don’t even know what to say anymore.” sighing and letting my hands drop along my body, I gave up.
She had mastered everything before starting this game.
“Then get out of our sight,” Daxon jumped down my throat with his eyes flashing the color of his wolf.
Throbbing pain in my heart made me squirm under my skin whilst I stepped back and marched out of the room.
Now that she had cut all my attempts to nothing, I was forced to accept her demands, anyway.
“Ugh!” I groaned as I flumped down and dropped my back against the mattress, swinging my legs down the bed.
As if my life wasn’t already falling apart that Mr. Blackmailer too decided to text me. Staring at the phone when his message popped up on the screen, I rolled my eyes and groaned out a cry for help.
“Not this idiot,” I let out a fake whimper, expressing my exhaustion.
“And how do I respond to his question mark?” I asked myself while rolling my eyes at the text. My phone would hardly ring to cause me terror back when I was Serena. It was a whole different life for me.
Apart from that, Mitt had been on my back the whole day, sending me emojis and question marks.
“Okay, okay!” finally, I sat up in the bed and held the phone in my hands. “I need to fix this,” I added, convincing myself that would be the apposite step to take for now.
Sitting with a diary in my lap, I chewed the back of the pen while diverting my mind from Serena and Daxon.
“Mitt Pan! So what do we know about him so far?” I asked myself, “Umm! He is from The Iron Furs pack. He is an ex-warrior, and that makes him pretty close to the Alpha King. The Alpha King is a douchebag, who only cares about his existence,” suddenly, the notes changed to me ranting my feelings about the Alpha King. I have only come face to face with him once and that’d be when I bumped into him in the morning.
Right off the bat, I knew he hated my guts. All the things I’ve heard about him being stubborn and rude were proven right when I met him in school today.
“Wait! If I can speak to Reynard and tell him what his ex-warrior is doing, he might be able to do something about It.” My lips formed a smile when for once I didn’t construct a failed plan until I acknowledged no way he would help me.
“But why would he help me? And what would I tell him when asking for his help? Exposing the fact that I have been buying drugs from his pack’s ex-warrior will only give him an opportunity to spread the rumors about me.” I closed my eyes and groaned, “But I need to take that risk. I haven’t seen him getting involved in bullying ever, so maybe I will get lucky? That’s it, I will sneakily tell Reynard all about Mitt and get him arrested for blackmailing me,” I paused when I acknowledged what I just said, “I mean my sister,”
Now I had to tell Mitt to wait for a little.
I knew it would be a little hard to text him and act like it wasn’t odd. I have been good my entire life. I never got any punishments or got myself in any mess other than this big one, where I wasn’t even aware of my enemy being my sister.
It wasn’t actually easy for me to be my sister and deal with all the nasty things she had done. Not only that, I still haven’t recovered from the unsolicited di** pics she has been receiving her DMS. Kind of odd, because she should have blocked these assholes a long time ago.
Me: Hey Mitt!
I bit my bottom lip, feeling dirty even talking to him.
My D: Don’t hey me after you have ignored me the entire day.
Me: You know the deal. My sister fell off the stairs and was rushed to the hospital.
My D: I heard about it. I cannot believe such an angel could meet a fall. You, on the contrary, I am sure you will defeat death too, you nasty little hoe.
My body trembled at his choice of words. No girl wants to be referred to as such. I settled on looking past his comments and acting on the plan.
Me: Anyway! I have a request; can I borrow some time?
I have only said till that part when he called my number. I promise it startled me as if there was a bomb ticking in my hands.
“Why is he calling, texting was much easier!” I chewed the fat before attending his call.
“Ahh! Hey sexy!” the tone he said and those little moans when greeting me made me want to throw up, “You want to borrow time? I will give you time, but first, please me a little with your voice tonight.” His demand first baffled my mind. I didn’t know what he meant by that.
“My voice?” as the vertical stretches formed between my eyebrows, I started googling his words to understand what he meant.
“Shit!” I mouthed when reading through the web pages. How was I not aware of this stuff? I think of sex as a traditional way, I mean just one way.
Phone Sex!
There was a whole new world that I wasn’t aware of, but how? Have I been living under a rock?
“Where did you go?” I swear he sounded stoned. He must have been high on something.
I knew I must act quickly instead of spending hours worrying about why and how I was not let aware of these things?
“Mitt! I cannot talk right now.” my brain worked at the right time and I ended up whispering in heavy breaths.
“Oh, baby! I hear your breaths and I am turned on,” he let out a laugh in his deep stoner voice.
I rolled my eyes in disbelief. So he would get pleasure from literally anything right now? He wanted phone sex, but he was definitely asking the wrong person.
“Matt!” I grunted before ending his call.
Well, I might have pissed him off because he began to ring my phone nonstop.
Me: I am in my sister’s room for the night. My mother and I are helping her with the injuries.
I knew it would be unbelievable to him, but he cannot debate this, but that’s when another shocker hit me when he believed it.
My D: Yeah! Guessed it. How about sexting? And I am not hearing no for an answer now.
It was at this moment that I didn’t have to g****e it. The name itself suggested what he wanted from me.
It boggled my mind how he was blackmailing me, yet expecting me to please him in any way possible. I was biting my nails and staring at the screen when the only option left to me was a bluff.Me: I am busy but I can compensate by meeting you tomorrow night.I hated myself for playing along. I even list the count of how many times I have cringed when responding to him.“It’s fine. That tomorrow night is not coming. I will fix it all before he even expects it.” I convinced myself that my idea was going to work and that I don’t have to worry about anything else.My D: Wait! Really? I thought your pussy was only for your sister’s mate and that other older dude.If I have to express in words, the amount of shock I received when reading his message, I will probably say it was similar to getting shot in the head with a silver bullet. There were a million ways I can take that statement. Did she really tell everyone she was keeping herself for my mate?“Everybody knew she was chasing after my
For a moment, my mind stopped working. I couldn’t even process what had just happened. He had his lips hard pressed against mine with his hand caging my head and preventing me from moving away from him. It wasn’t even a normal kiss; it was filled with passion and possessiveness. The way he suddenly sucked my lips and moaned on them it froze my body.I was stuck!Unable to respond, and push him away.He was the one who broke the kiss and smirked, setting me free and stepping back, too. Our eyes met for a brief moment and it didn’t indicate he was angry or doing it out of spite. He did it because he wanted to.“So you liked it too.” that comment was another blow to my existence. Did she not like it before?What was happening?I was watching him with peeled-off eyes and tears in them. He was steadily stepping back while smirking wider with his every step.“This is how you apologize to me, Arlene. Don’t forget that,” his voice was now giving me a headache. Serena was in the room and here
I had spent the day fretting about the night. It was going to be hella crazy to convince Reynard. He has proven himself incompetent to bring justice against miscreants like Mitt Pan.After the classes were over, I again waited in the parking lot to speak to Reynard, but when he came out with his friends, I decided to stay behind and wait for the right time.The right time never came because soon he got in the car and left. I had to call an uber and chase after him.Call it desperation, but I wasn’t going to sit idle and let the night arrive. Mitt won’t stay silent for too long.“That’s it, just drop me here,” I told the Uber driver and after paying him, I got out of his car and stood in front of Reynard’s enormous mansion.I have only heard rumors about crazy things happening in his mansion. He lived alone; I heard. His parents passed away when he was only a child and his warrior grandma brought him up. I believed she still lived with him, but her existence was not much discussed by a
After I made his grandma coerce him into helping me, I enjoyed a great afternoon snack with her.“You are a pretty young girl,” she had her hands on my face as she imagined what I look like.“I have heard heroic things about you. You were such a badass,” I smiled as I calculated the difference between her and the type of Luna I was going to be. My entire life was a fib, it seemed. I carried myself like a doll and didn’t allow my mind to think outside the circle of love.“I am happy I have left that impact on young girls like you.” she had taken me to her room to have a snack with me. I could see Reynard standing outside the door, safeguarding his grandma as if I was some sort of witch, ready to consume her.“I wish I have met you sooner.” I was still feeling sad that I wasted many years of my life thinking Daxon is the only reward that I want from the world.“Now help your friend and save her from that asshole.” after patting the back of my hand, she set me free. I got up from beside
“I am sure there is a misunderstanding,” I laughed when walking out of the car to accompany the chief and Reynard, who I passed a deadly glare before stepping near the chief.“Arlene Majestic?” the chief said, even when I am sure Reynard introduced me to him already.“That’d be me,” I let an awkward smile, feeling this intense heat inside my body that wanted me to let out a cry and ask for my mommy.No wonder they had sheltered me from reality. At least not anymore.“He was blackmailing you,” the chief said. Reynard had his arms crossed as he watched me in a bizarre mood. He should be thankful to me for making him appear as a hero before his pack and his grandma’s eyes.“Yes.” I was using short answers to not accidentally say anything stupid.“Here are the files he had on you. Take this day as a lesson and don’t do anything that is illegal.” Thankfully, it wasn’t Reynard who laid me bare. The chief handed me over the files before leaving for his car. As the sirens faded into the air,
“What are you doing here at this time of night?” I defensively stepped back and watched him stare at me without really having any emotions on his face.I was not at all comfortable around him while being in my sister’s body. After last night, I even tried convincing myself that it was nothing and he probably did it out of anger, which was pretty messed up to even think of. But that’s what we do when we are in love.“Where were you?” his proceeding steps were rather threatening than seemed like from someone who was concerned because I was a family now.“I told everyone, perhaps you didn’t listen.” I retorted, stepping back from him and creating a space between us. If anybody told me like a week ago, that I will be talking rudely to Daxon someday, I will call them crazy.I have loved him enough to respect him in his every decision and step of my life. But I wasn’t too sure anymore. He was acting weird and trying way too hard to force himself into Arlene’s life.I had seen his side so fa
“Let go of me,” My struggle went in vain when he pinned my hands to the side. He was much bigger and more powerful than me. No way I could overpower him. I was still fighting him to the best of my ability. I was meek and probably very dull too, but that didn’t change the fact that I cannot try to get him off me.“Ahh! I almost forgot how good you smell, Arlene,” his whisper brought shivers down my spine. I was disgusted with not only him by my own existence, too.“I had to first wait for you and me to turn 18 and then this mating ceremony to pass in order to be in the same bed with you again. I cannot believe I survived these days without your pussy to fuck,” his murmur resulted in me throwing up in my mouth. This side of him was revolting. I cannot believe I gave my pack to the hands of this horny rapist.I can only imagine how Arlene must have felt all this time. The moment she turned 18, he unleashed his devil upon her.All the things he used to say to make me feel special now felt
Somebody has to say something, so I did.“That’s so unfair,” the one who had never objected was finally able to see the wrong. I voiced my opinion whether they like it or not. I had a feeling Daxon would be the one to lodge a protest against any of the rules being removed, but my faith in my uncle was still intact.My objection led to Serena raising her face from her plate and staring at me. She had big tears in her eyes and I saw it. I must shock her to see me voicing against Daxon. I also wanted to tell her I believe in her now. I just didn’t understand why she lied they were in a relationship when it was clearly an abusive situation?“Don’t interrupt when adults are talking.” My mother obviously had to scold me and silence me. This is what we all have been doing to Arlene for a very long time. Every time she would speak up, we would shut her down.“Excuse me,” It mustn’t be easy for her to sit and listen to her rapist make rules that protect scums like him.Wait!Is that it? He is
