"If we match, no one will think you copied me. We'll enter hand in hand and show that all is well within the Shrova household. Then the other packs won't find a reason to drive a rift between us. We'll be unstoppable," Sophie said confidently.

"This is for Aaron?" I asked, still cautious.

"Oh, darling. Who else?" She laughed. "You know I'll do anything for Aaron, even if it means becoming your sister."

"Becoming friends with you is where I'll draw the line, Sophie. We'll never like each other. That is the only truth," I replied, stony and cold.

"Fair enough," she smirked.

"Now, let us pick a design for our dress. The earlier the dressmaker gets our order, the faster and more perfect it'll come through," Sophie said, taking a show book and multiple pieces of paper with sketches of different dresses made by top-tier designers.

She sat cross-legged beside me, flipping through the pages of gowns. She'd look at each one carefully, taking her time before turning to

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 41: Wild Marrow

    DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ.I knew I was dreaming because everything was too warm. I could feel the ground under me pulsing like a heartbeat, or perhaps my feet were unsteady, unsure whether to go back or not, and the trees above shimmered with silver frost like a world of fantasy, the kind only read in books and rarely ever witnessed, though there was no cold.With all these things, I felt a connection to the forest that was familiar. It felt surreal. Too familiar. My steps fell over an old path I hadn’t walked in years. Then I saw her.A younger version of me knelt by a river, my wolf at my side.And even though I could not see my reflection, I could tell I was in my body again.The girl stood up, faced me, and grinned with mischief, then started running with her wolf."Wait!" I screamed, taking to my heels. "Don't go! Please." I was tired, breathing heavily, but I kept going. I knew she was trying to tell me something. Show me something. She'd turn back to see if I was still there be

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 40: Calling Me Home

    DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ I was strolling through the halls when I met Aaron on the way. Landon, who was behind me, was usually quiet and only grunted when I asked him to excuse me.Aaron wanted to work with me, alone. I was stunned at first but immediately agreed. I was slacking, and moving onto my next phase was important; to make Aaron experience loss, the same type I endured."I heard we might experience famine," I said, making my tone hushed."Word does travel fast..." He trailed off."Rest assured, the councilmen told me. I know the word is not supposed to go past the grand walls of the royal home.""Thank you," he gave me a warm smile. "Rest assured I am planning to control the situation. You may inform your parents so they can control it.""Last time a famine happened...""You remember?" He did not let me finish."Yes, I do." It was around the time my pack got attacked and taken away by the Shrovas. When I think about it, I can see the dust, remember the fog, the clashing of s

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 39: To Save My People

    AARON SHROVAA knock disturbed me as I looked through paperwork."Alpha Aaron, Luna Sana seeks to speak with you," my guard said."Let her in," I told him.Soon after, she stepped in, regally dressed, looking at me disdainfully."I cannot believe after all Sophie had done for you, Aaron-""Your daughter tried to poison me!" I snapped, immediately annoyed."She loves you! You think I wanted her to marry you?! There were many suitors lined up to marry her, but she chose you.""She said she doesn't love me," I told her, my voice lower."Oh, even the blind can tell that she'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, even at the cost of her own happiness," Sana spat. "Her happiness means little to hers, but oh yours...""True love is not abusive, emotionally or physically. She manipulated me, it is not love. She desires me, she does not love me," I blatantly replied. I leaned down to the table, placing my hands and looking up at her. "You think she ought to be alive? You must be aware of t

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 38: A truce

    AARON SHROVA"Can we talk?" I asked Deva after our guests departed. She had done more than she needed to do, withstood so much humiliation because of me, and I knew we both had a connection, the loss of someone we loved.She lost hers and was forced to marry me by the cause of duty towards her pack.Are we the same when I cowardly left mine? I continued to live like everything was in the right order while she rotted away unknown to me."I-""Do not say no, I beg of you," I pleaded. I knew that expression; she was hesitant. I, on the other hand, was desperate to fix whatever disagreement we had, to mend whatever had been broken if there was anything in the first place."Alright. Let us talk," she agreed. I smiled. "Thank you. But not out here.""We can go to the banquet hall; there's a tea party left unfinished. The tea and snacks will be cold but can be eaten regardless. Do you mind?" she offered."Not at all. I appreciate your kindness," I told her. "I would love to be there.""Hm,"

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 37: To the End

    DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"You cannot do that!" Luna Sana yelled from behind. "You will not ridicule my daughter by reducing her to nothing."Aaron replied with a straight face. "You cannot tell me what to do in my own pack. Perhaps it has not occurred to you yet what a grave sin Sophie has committed.""I am surprised she has not been sentenced to death. I know I would do that," Alpha Cain said, smugly. What a coy man he is, and this is the only moment I can bring myself to appreciate his wickedness."That is true," a man said, and the murmuring started again."Fine, then. I would rather have Sophie back home with us than see her suffer through this," Luna Sana snarled. "I want my daughter back this instant.""Mother, no!" Sophie's loud voice was enough proof that she did not want to go with Sana."You sick child! Come back with us," Luna Sana threatened, her teeth grinding. "Or you can kiss this family goodbye.""I did what I did, and it would be unfair to walk away like a coward. I a

  • I Became my Mate's Concubine    Chapter 36: A Humble Apology

    DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ Lady after lady.Guest after guest.And the seats were filled. High-pitched laughter filled the air, and the little crunching of biscuits and tiny pastries could be heard."You have outdone yourself, High Consort Deva, truly," a lady in a red dress hat, her fingers clutching the cup handle through her short red gloves."I could not agree more, and in a short amount of time. Honestly, I usually take two days to plan out a tea party, and I've actually never thought of something simple and pretty like this," a noble lady added.The other women murmured in agreement."Last night did not go as planned. It would not be right to let you all depart from Moonray without a pleasant memory at least," I smiled. "Scones, anyone?" I took a tray from a maid."Oh, Lady Deva, please! A woman of honor and valor should not be doing a servant's work," the lady in sapphire spoke."No, Lady Mira. I want to do this myself. It gives me a great sense of joy," I smiled."You cannot ex
