The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake No Trouble For The Innocent
GinaIt had been over a week since my father slipped into his coma, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw his body lying on his study floor, the blood, my mother’s hand shaking with the weight of the gun.The secret was eating me alive from the inside.I loved her. Gosh, I loved my mother so much it hurt. She had been my anchor, the only parent who was actually there with me since my dad was not. But she had made my back bear this weight of a secret, and with each step, I felt as though it were going to crush me. Every smile I forced at the breakfast table. Every laugh I faked while Mina rambled about school. Every stolen glance toward Emory, towards Rain, towards Aria, Elias, I couldn’t take it anymore.I hated her for it. I despised my mother because she made me bear her sin as my own.I was lying on my bed, and was playing with my silver chain around my neck, when I heard a knock. My mother came in with a cautionary, nearly imploring voice as she called my name.I swallowed my dre
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Under Questioning
AuthorThe station’s interrogation wing was a world away from the grandeur of the estate. There was nothing fancy there, just grey walls, a table and a fluorescent bulb that buzzed. The place was designed to rattle already frayed nerves.Detective Hale had requested they be brought in one by one. No parents watching their children, no siblings covering for one another. Just the truth, stripped bare.EmoryEmory rested casually in his chair with tight jaw and folded arms. Hale studied him quietly before asking, “Where were you the night of the attack?”“Upstairs,” Emory muttered. “In my room.”“Alone? On the night if your sisters birthday?”“Yes.”Hale leaned forward. “You didn’t hear the struggle? The gunshots?”Emory’s eyes flickered, but his voice was sharp. “I heard. I just didn’t come out. You think I wanted to get shot too?”Hale scribbled a note, then asked, “What’s your relationship with your father like?”That question stung more than the others. Emory’s jaw clenched. “Complic
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake A Fractured Vigil
The constant beeping of the monitors disturbed my ability to grief quietly. The sound that pressed against my skull was a reminder that Kol was here, but not here. The machines kept him alive, as his body lay dead, his skin pale, his chest going up and down in shallow motion.He was in a coma. And I was doing everything I could to believe that he would come back. But the longer I sat there, the harder it became to convince myself. I was also fooling myself that my heart was breaking when really it was splintering at causes no one here in the room could possibly imagine.I sat beside his bed, holding his hand in both my hands, talking to him like my words could stitch him together again. “Don’t give up, Kol. We all need you. The children need you. Emory needs you, even if he doesn’t realise it yet. Please come back to us.”My voice squeaked and I felt like crying briefly with myself. And not for Kol, but for myself, to what I had done, and to the consequences which were nearer and near
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake The Betrayal
AgathaI struck a deal I should never have struck and it clung to me, choking the life out of me, day by day. I would spend the night lying awake and replaying that single choice. How easy it had been to tip the rogues. How simple it was to give an anonymous tip to them about Rain’s whereabouts. And how irreversible it had become the moment they took it.If I didn’t think fast, if I didn’t cover every step, I would drown in the truth.I told myself Kol had forced me into this corner. He had stopped being my mate for sometime now, that’s if he had ever been one at all. What we had now was not love. Not even friendship. We were parents, coexisting under one roof because of our children, because of appearances. He gave his time, his attention, his heart to Aria. Not me. Never me. I became his duty. Aria was his everything.And resentment… oh, resentment had been growing in me like a rot.So when the opportunity came, when the rogues who had killed Rain’s brother crossed my path, I saw a
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Birthdays and Gunshots
Author The morning began with light and laughter, or at least, that was the illusion.Kol and Agatha sneaked into the twins room before dawn, the arms loaded with boxes wrapped in glittering paper, their voices low. The curtains remained closed, and the girls were still twisting and turning in sleep, Mina huddled on her back, Gina sprawled like she was the king of the world.Kol bent and turned on the lamp. “Happy birthday!” He shouted with a voice that was rough with too many late nights in his study.Agatha was behind, smiling more gentle. She kissed each of them on the forehead. “Sweet sixteen,” she said like it was magic.Mina woke up, blinking at the light and smiling sleepily. Gina, on the other hand, shot upright with a squeal. “Finally!” she exclaimed. “Do you know how long I have been waiting this?”Kol laughed, but it was more of a sigh than a laugh, and then he gave them their presents. Mina opened hers, and found a sensitive watch with a silver band. Gina tore off her wra
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Secrets and Dresses
MinaThe estate was full of noise, full of colour, full of sugar, and somehow I’d never felt heavier.Everything was to be brightened by our birthday preparations. Ribbons were wound over tables like vines, swatches of fabric heaped up in the sitting-room, and in the kitchen the odour of birthday cane floated up the stair. Gina virtually darted across the rooms, commanding the workers as though she was already Luna of her own land.But the more she sparkled, the more I felt myself sinking.Sixteen was supposed to mean magic. A doorway. A before and an after. Instead, all it meant was another reminder of how fractured we’d become. The night before, Kol and Emory had fought so loudly the walls in my room shook. Emory had raged off, anger cut into his face, and I believed, a moment, that he might never reappear. So much like Father he looked like them at that moment--like rage was all the language he still possessed.How I wanted to keep it all together. I would have liked to be the glue
