"Tonight, is the coronation ceremony of the Alpha King's sons. Rather than presenting you as an option for their mate choice, your twin sister will be presented, instead.” My father spoke coldly to me. Every fiber of his being expressed hatred for me, and while I was a little used to being treated that way, it was painful that as the older twin sister, I was skipped for an opportunity like this. When the ceremony started, we all stood as a family, with my sister dressed really pretty, and waiting for the Alpha King's sons to meet us. But the moment I noticed them walking towards us, my heart skipped a beat and my whole body charged up with adrenaline as I realized one thing. They were my mates. Not just one, but triplets. Alyssa is an omega in the family and pack of betas, and was treated as a nobody by her father, sister and the pack, when her mother died. But as vibrant soul, she endured all she went through in their hands until she met her mates who were triplets. While she was happy to have finally met the ones whom she felt would show her love and care, little did she know that it was the beginning of worse misery in her life that led to her desiring revenge. As time goes on, she would find secrets that would break her soul. Would Alyssa torture every single person that made life worse for her or would allow love to ease her grieving heart?

“Mother!” I screamed out loud in tears as I watched my mother being torn apart by a rogue.
Other children and mothers ran off with fear in their hearts and they were all screaming, except for me, whose mother was stuck in the hands of a rogue.
Tears rolled down my eyes uncontrollably, and my heart ached in so much pain as she also cried out, trying to shield herself from the rogue’s claws. But he was too strong for her. As he slammed her to the ground, she looked towards my side with tears in her eyes.
“Run!” She urged me with every strength in her.
“Mother!” I cried again, and tried to stand with the excruciating pain I was feeling at my back.
Right when the attack had started, I tried to also attack the rogue, so it wouldn’t hurt my mother, but he hit me across the wall, and something sharp scratched my back, but was a little deep. I fell right to the floor in tears and my mother tried to run to me, but the rogue grabbed her back.
I immediately rose to my feet and tried to run towards the pack house to call father for help, but at that moment, I saw my father and his warriors rushing towards us. My heart beamed with joy that my mother would be saved, but as I turned back to look at her, I saw the rogue rip out her heart while her eyes were still open and on me.
I fell right to the ground in shock and my mouth gaped open. This couldn’t be. My mother possibly couldn’t be dead. No way.
My father pounced on the rogue and also tore him apart, then he held my mother’s body and growled out loud in pain.
“Lyra, no!” He shouted at the top of his voice as tears strolled down his eyes.
That was the first time I ever saw my father cry even when I had witnessed him suffer deadly wounds and attacks. Never did he cry because of the pain. He was already stained all over by mother’s blood as he hugged her tight like he wasn’t ready to let her go. But she was gone.
Minutes later, other guards went close to him, and separated him from his dead wife, and he buried his face in his palms after they took her from his arms.
Then I walked up to him while crying bitterly as I wanted to pacify him too.
“Father.” I called to him softly.
But instead, he rose to his feet with his eyes burning with anger.
“You!” He raised his voice at me, and the back of his hand struck mercilessly across my face.
“Ahh!” I screamed in pain.
The swat of his hand was hard on me that I fell to the ground. His claws had teared from my left eye and across my nose bridge to part of my cheek. I felt blood streaming down from my face and the pain stung me deeply.
“Father.” I whimpered in fear.
“You are the reason she died, and you wanted to run away. I always knew that you being an omega would cause issues. You have just proven to be nothing but a useless weakling.” My father spat those words at me in an angry manner.
His words were like a dagger to my little heart, and I only stood, watching him dumbfoundedly.
“Take her away and lock her up in her room with no food to eat!” He ordered his guards and they bowed before they took his order.
The guards grabbed my arms and one of them swung me over his shoulder as they headed back home. I couldn’t struggle to set myself free or anything, because it was all going to be for nothing.
On getting home, I was thrown into my dark room and they locked the door. I cried out so hard and began to hit my fist against the door. I wanted to see my mother for the last time, but no one heard me.
“Why did this have to happen?” I said with so much pain in my heart.
If only I didn’t bug my mother to take me to the playground, no rogue would have taken her life today, and father will never be this angry with me.
After for what seemed like a few hours, my door opened and Ingrid, my twin sister walked in.
“Ingrid.” I uttered with tears in my eyes as I rose to my feet.
Tears were also in her eyes and she seemed very angry with me. Before I knew it, she also raised her hand and slapped me right across where father had clawed me.
“Ouch! Ingrid!” I voiced out in pain.
“It’s because of you mother met her demise. Because of you, pain and sadness has struck our family, and I will never forgive you for that. For always taking more attention from mother, and leading her to her death before I could enjoy as much love as I want from her. Mark my words, from today on, you will regret you were ever born.” She threatened and then walked out of my room, then slammed the door shut.
More tears streamed down my face all through that night until the next day when I was called out to attend my mother’s funeral. Everyone cried and said a lot of good things about her. And even when they were done with the funeral rites, people joined in groups to have conversations while I went somewhere secluded to cry out my eyes.
“Mother, I miss you. I’m sorry.” I sobbed and continued to wipe my tears.
“Hey.” I heard a soft voice call out to me and I immediately cleaned my tears and raised my head up only to see one of the Alpha Princes standing before me with a flower in his hand. “Here.” He said, handing over the flower to me.
I received the flower and looked at it while more tears streamed down my face
“Don’t worry, your mother will always be with you. I’m Reece.” He said with a gentle smile, and hugged me tight before he walked away.
As he walked away, I stared at him and cleaned my tears while looking at the flower, and feeling my mother’s love. In a few minutes, my father and Ingrid were walking towards me with a scary look.
From that moment, I knew that my horrible life without my mother had just started.
131Alyssa’s Pov“You want to leave?” My opponent asked, looking up towards me. It felt exactly like looking into a mirror, and the thought alone was chilly.His eyes were just as bright as mine were, but his nose was chiseled, his jaw defined, his lips heart-shaped. Still, he looked so much like me, and that didn’t make any sense.“Who are you? Some crazy shape shifter?” I asked, getting to my feet with a little difficulty. There was no denying that I was weak.“Shape shifter?” The other me asked in my voice, and that sent a chill through me. It was unnerving, really. He was me! That had never happened to me in all my life. My exact replica. “Who am I? Dear Alyssa, you know me more than anyone else does. I am you.”“What the hell are you spitting out, shape shifter?” I voiced out, beginning to feel cranky.“Your strengths, your weaknesses, your flaws and imperfections; I have them all. You are fighting yourself. We have the same skills, the same mind, the same thoughts, the same vibe
130Alyssa’s PovWho the heck was Alyssa? Why did it feel like I was her?Alyssa? Why?The girl touched me, and a flood of memories that weren’t mine filled my head.“Stop!” I shouted, stepping away from her.“Wash the dishes properly!” A fat woman chopping onions at monster speed said, while I stood with the plates whimpering, my knuckles peeled and bleeding. The woman threw a plate, and it shattered on my head.“Ah!” I moved farther away from the girl, and in my head, another memory stood out.“Just take me!” I screamed, and a guy, whose face was mine, slashed my neck, and I fell to the ground. The pain and disoriented feeling too much to bear.Why was I having memories that aren’t actually true? Why was my own face fading in my head?“Get away from me!” I stumbled, and fell into the hands of a bald man.“You’re a shame, Ale! You slept with the Alpha’s wife. You’ll face death in the worst way! They decided you’ll be sent as prey to the Alpha King!”I scuttled away from the man, but
129Alyssa’s Pov“Damn!” I yelled, as I managed to bring my head above the surface once more. My black hair plastered to my face in slime water, and I took out my claws, swiping madly at the creatures. They made screeching noises, and stank so bad that I felt it would kill me instead of the slimy water they wanted to drown me in.“Stay.” They all began to say, their words overlapping, in their scratchy voices.“Get off me!” I yelled as they increased in number, gathering from every part of the water to come to me.My claws swiped blindly, black substance squirting on my face, with each slash.Face, neck, body, arm; I slashed madly, wanting to hit anything I could. Wanting to somehow magically ruin them all for daring to even touch me.My hair was pulled roughly by hands. My legs were also pulled downwards, and I actually held onto one of them, so I would stay above the surface. They were so slippery, I could barely hold on.One caught my arm, and before I could bat it away, I was pull
128Alyssa’s PovI laid on the bed, going under the covers, and closed my eyes.“Here I am.” I replied, and immediately, I seemed to fall from quite a height. I struggled, fighting with my arms and legs, wanting to land safely.Thudding onto a strong surface, my groan echoed, as I tried to raise myself. I looked around me; it was all darkness.“Let’s get this over with. Whatever it is.” I spat, looking around at the dark abyss.Slowly, as the darkness dissipated, the whole place began to tear down, coming awash with color.Beige walls, sunlight streaming in, a large bed, books, portraits, a pair of pink sneakers…I froze, my face draining of all color, as tears sprang to my eyes.This was definitely the land of the dead. The information seemed to seep into my mind. I’m hoping this isn’t too risky.Just then, I noticed something.Did the land of the dead have the capability to turn back the hands of time?Why was I back in my room as a girl? Those pink sneakers. They were the only shoe
127Alyssa’s PovA few days more passed as a Warrior College student and today was said to be a test in which I was so excited to find out what the test entailed.“Are you ready? You know he doesn’t like it when we’re tardy.” I said to Reynold who just came out of the room.“Yeah, I’m sorry. Just didn’t wake as early as you did. We could have had a bath together since the bathroom is big enough to do that.” Reynold said as we began to head to the college.“What! How would we have a bath together!” I said sharply, not finding it funny if he was teasing me.“Of course, we can. If you’re not comfortable with us seeing each other’s man, we could just turn to the other side and have our bath.” He suggested, playing with the arm of his cross bag.He was really serious about that? No, I can’t let him process that thought or life would be more difficult for me here.“That’s still a no! It’s not meant to be that way.” I stood my ground and he chuckled.Thankfully, that brought a wash of relief
126Alyssa’s PovThe next day, we were meant to start the class officially and after washing up and putting on my uniform, I felt so excited and ready for the class.I have never been this excited but the feeling is so good that it makes me feel like I can touch the skies.“So, are you getting ready for your class?” Ethan asked me as I waited at the hallway.“Well, I am more than ready. What about you?” I asked with a smile on my face.“I’m also ready. By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I trust in you and will always be there when you need a shoulder to lean on. Ensure you’re careful while you’re doing your best, and never lose your guard.” Ethan advised me while staring deep into my eyes.For a moment, I felt lost in those eyes that cared about me and I didn’t know when I smiled.It felt so good to know that someone really cared about me and they were always going to be there to watch out for me.“Thank you, Ethan. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to ensure that nothing goes
