Aria

The bang of the study door was still sounding in my head when Emory had left.

Kol stood in the centre of the room with gripped fists and his chest heaving up and down irregularly. It was almost as if he was about to shift out of annoyance, that’s how I knew a storm was coming.

“I’m going to have a word with Elder Sorah,” he growled.

My stomach twisted. He thought Sorah was the problem. No. Sorah had only given Emory confirmation. The problem was me.

I took a step toward him. “Kol—”

But he cut me off, spinning toward me, eyes blazing. “He repeated things only Sorah could have told him. Things I never wanted him to hear.”

I swallowed hard. “Not everything came from Sorah.”

His head snapped toward me, sharp as a whip. “What?”

I forced myself to meet his gaze. “Some of the things he knows… I told Mina.”

He became silent. Angrily silent.

Kol’s jaw tightened. “You did what?”

“I had to,” I said, my voice low, rushed. “She overheard us once. I thought, if she was already piecing things t

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   The Man I Thought I Had Killed

    Agatha I had gone to my room after the accusation to suffocate in silence. I drew the curtains tight but even with the not so bright light, I could see my own reflection in the glass. My eyes were swollen, my face was pale. I was a woman unrecognisable even to herself.I had cried until there were no tears left, and still they came. I couldn’t believe Gina had done what she did. My daughter. My sweet, sharp-tongued girl had taken the burden onto her own shoulders, no, onto her brother’s shoulders, for me. She had pointed at Emory, her own blood, and offered him up to save me.I covered my face with my hands. “Oh, Gina,” I whispered. “What have I let you become?”I remembered her words in the interrogation room, the way her voice had cracked but still sounded so defiant. She had promised me she would never let an innocent be taken down for my sake. And then she did. And I let her.Just then, a knock on my door startled me from my thoughts. I sat upright, quickly wiping the tears off m

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Patterns of Guilt

    Author’s POVThe air that surrounded the council chamber thickened the moment Gina’s words left her lips.“I know who tried to kill my father,” And then, eyes agape and voice shaken, she had indicated her own brother. Emory.The silence that succeeded was not relief, but shock, and surprise and a new opening that threatened the shaky basis of the family.Detective Hale was quick. His pen snapped against the papers in front of him as he straightened. “Bring him in,” he ordered.Elias swung round and looked at Gina with a tight-fisted frown. He had something in his stare, something which told him that she was not telling the whole truth. Mina sat in frozen amazement as her lips opened in wonder that her twin had sacrificed Emory so easily.And Agatha, Agatha, said nothing. Her eyes were merely down to the table, and her nails were biting her palms under the table. On the inside, she was shaking, relieved and appalled. Relieved suspicion had shifted away from her. Horrified that her daug

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   What Have I Done?

    GinaThe figures in the board were nonsense. That was because I was not listening. I could hear the voice of the teacher, but I heard nothing familiar. I had my notebook open, I had my pen to make some notes, but the only word I could write repeatedly in the corner of the page was: Father. Father. Father.That night continued to reappear, and I shook my head as many times as possible to make it go, the sound from the gun, my mother’s trembling hands, my father’s body jerking, before falling down. That sound again. That smell of gunpowder.My chest tightened so that I was unable to breathe. I shoved back my chair.“Bathroom,” I said, and I did not bother whether the teacher assented or not. All the heads in the room turned my way, and followed me like I was glass at the point of breaking. Mina’s eyes followed me the longest. I could feel it on my skin.My vision was blurring. I pushed myself into the bathroom and locked myself inside the farthest stall, and allowed myself to crumble. I

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   A Lead

    AuthorThe detective didn’t waste time. A week had passed since his last visit and now everyone was back under scrutiny. No explanations had satisfied him. No story felt solid enough to hold.That afternoon, the estate was quieter than usual, yet heavy with unease. The family had been summoned once again to the interrogation room.The detective had requested the family’s presence again, and the message had not been gentle: “We have more questions, and this time, I expect fewer half-answers.“They filed in reluctantly, Aria, Agatha, Emory, Mina, Gina, Rain, and Elias. Each one carried their own burden into the room, but together they sat like suspects lined up before judgment.Kol’s absence was louder than any voice in the room. His coma was a heavy weight of all of them. Without him, there was no anchor, no authority to hide behind.The detective adjusted his papers with a sharp gaze. “We’ll begin where we left off. One by one, you’ll answer again. But let me warn you, last time, ther

  • 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
