I Refused To Be His Stand-In After Rebirth, Alpha Went Crazy Chapter 23
I had assumed that once Adrian agreed to the mating ceremony, Vanessa would have what she wanted, and they would finally leave me alone.The next morning he was at my door.He was sitting on my front step, looking exhausted."Adrian?" I frowned at him.He stood up slowly and held my eyes. "I'm doing the mating ceremony with Vanessa."He searched my face for a flicker of any kind. Anything.What he saw was relief. "Congratulations."It didn't feel like the kind of news that deserved congratulations to him. "I don't love her. But she's pregnant. I don't know if the child will make it, but I have a responsibility—"He didn't know how things had gotten this far either.It had all started with that one cursed heat.One wrong step, then another, and another, until there was no way back.He looked at me, his voice low. "Vanessa won't last long. After she's gone. Is there any chance for us?"Funny.In my last life, I spent twenty years with him. What I got at the end of it was: If only Vanessa

My father chimed in. "Selene, you're being so unreasonable. Your sister is dying, and you're still trying to take a man from her."My grip on the doorframe went white at the knuckles.I wasn't going to argue with these people. "If you don't leave, I'm calling the guards."I slammed the door.I had nearly enough evidence. All I needed now was the right moment to release it.When the buzz around Cassandra started to fade, my mother dropped her edited clip. The same second, I hit send on mine.Vanessa watched the wave of hate pour in for me again, and smiled."An Alpha's got your back. So what? She can shield you for a day. She can't shield you forever."Then the tide turned.The further down she scrolled, the darker her face got.[Wait. Isn't that witchcraft? Sacrificing one daughter to save another? What kind of mother does that?][If she knows she's dying, she should be focusing on treatment, not stealing her sister's man!]I had posted everything. Every conversation, every audio clip

The next morning at the hospital, something was off. My coworkers gave me strange looks. As I walked past, I caught the whispers."Is that her? She always seemed so kind. Who knew?""Wishing your own sister dead. You wouldn't say that to your worst enemy."I pulled out my phone. The first headline that came up: [HEAD HEALER CURSES OWN DYING SISTER STRAIGHT TO HELL!]The video showed a woman on her knees, sobbing, begging me for forgiveness. The clip ended on me: "You should've gone to hell long ago."I got it instantly. Vanessa had cut everything she'd said to provoke me, and left only my one moment of anger.I had a public profile in this pack. As Head Healer, the moment that clip went up, the views started piling on.The comments were brutal. Someone had already dug up the name of my hospital. By the time I checked, there were people outside the front entrance, holding signs.It started affecting hospital operations. Under public pressure, the director sent me home for a few days.Th

Deep in the woods, in the witch's house, Vanessa was running out of time.The witch came over to examine her and shook her head. "Your condition has worsened, and that potion forced a mate bond on top of it. If we don't get the sacrifice here soon, you have less than a month."That was when Vanessa actually started to panic. She lurched up and grabbed the witch by the collar. "You gave me that potion. Why is it making me worse?"The witch looked at her, unfazed. "You came to me wanting a fake-mark potion. I gave it to you. You didn't ask about side effects."That night in the forest, Adrian had held on to just enough of himself to refuse to mark her.Vanessa had no other play. She drank the potion and forged a mark of her own, becoming his fake mate.Now she was furious and frantic. She rounded on her mother. "He won't even talk to me anymore. What do I do? I'm not ready to die! Think of something."Her mother held her hand. "Sweetheart, calm down. Selene has guards on her constantly.

The days at Cassandra's place were quiet. Adrian had been telling the truth about that part, at least. My parents didn't call once.I thought a few days of laying low would be enough, and I'd be back at work soon.Until I picked up my phone the moment I woke up and a photo took up the whole screen.Two people, mostly bare, tangled together. Marks across the skin that left no question what had happened.The angle made it obvious. Vanessa had taken it.A second message followed:Vanessa: [Adrian's already marked me. What exactly are you fighting for?]The picture didn't move me at all. My fingers tapped out a reply:Selene: [Marking, in your condition. You really do have a death wish.]Then I blocked her.I had never been competing with her. She was the one who'd decided I was an enemy. Jealousy was her own weapon, pointed inward, and it was going to kill her.A week went by. I went back to work.Cassandra came barreling into my office and slapped a signed contract down on my desk.She g

I ran through the trees until I saw lights flickering in the distance, just before nightfall.I let out a long breath and dropped to the ground, completely spent.My mother knew where I lived. My mother knew where I worked. What was I supposed to do now?Then I thought of someone. I opened a mind-link and gave her the bare bones.Half an hour later, a black sedan pulled up in front of me. Cassandra rolled down the window. "Don't panic. Get in. We'll figure this out."I had barely settled into the passenger seat when my phone started lighting up. Adrian. Message after message.Adrian: [Selene. I'm sorry. I never wanted you hurt.]Adrian: [I thought they only wanted to see you.]Adrian: [I've already warned them. They won't bother you again.]Adrian: [Please answer.]I could feel the panic in every line.I didn't reply. I blocked him.Even if every word he said was true, I was done with him.Every wound I had carried in this life and the last had come from him.Better to walk away than w

I stopped paying attention to the headlines. Adrian and Vanessa being together was, frankly, a relief.He'd stop bothering me. I could focus on what mattered.Sure enough, days went by without him showing up. The tabloids had plenty of fresh material on the two of them, though.I had just finished a

Cassandra was waiting for me when I got back. "How did it go? Are we getting the funding?""Honestly, I don't know yet. He hasn't given me an answer."She put her arm around my shoulder, smiling. "Don't sweat it. You did your part. I'm taking you out tonight."I gave her a small smile. "Thanks, Cass

Three years went by.I'd settled into Cassandra's pack and earned her trust.The pack was launching a major medical project that needed serious funding. Cassandra had been negotiating with potential sponsor packs.As head healer, I assumed I had nothing to do with the deal. Then I was told I was the

He had Vanessa and the assistant brought to him.Before Adrian could speak, the assistant dropped to his knees. "It wasn't me, it was Vanessa, she made me do it. She said if I didn't go along with it, she'd lock me in the dungeons the second she became Luna."Adrian turned to her. Her face was bone-
