LOGINLife was going smoothly for Zara after she left everything behind, just to elope with her high school lover. They left the country together with the money she was able to save, and got married. But it took a big twist when she found her husband cheating on her on their matrimonial bed. Due to chronic stress and emotional distress, she went into labour, and ended up losing her child all because of her husband’s cruelness. When she was discharged from the hospital, she got welcomed back with a divorce paper from her husband. Unable to face the pains and humiliation, she went back home, but it was too late. Her family had already disowned her. She had no choice than to make a phone call which she never thought she would make after what she did years ago. After the phone call, helicopters filled the sky around her. “Will you run away just like you did two years ago?” A smirk appeared on the billionaire’s face. “No. Let’s get married, today.” She proposed, her eyes filled with determination.

The bed was wet beneath me, soaked by the juices that flowed from between my thighs. A grunt, one so husky brushed against my ear as he moved in and out of me.
"Don't tell Kimberly," Alpha Ryan groaned as he pushes his cock deeper until the tip brushed a tender spot. I shudder beneath him. Kimberly was his future Luna. She was also my sister.
I looked up at him beneath my lashes. "Don't tell my sister you slipped inside the wrong one?"

"Everything must be perfect for my darling Kimberly," mom sighed as she pushes a white daisy flower into the glass flower vase.
Her crystal green eyes lift to catch me staring and her lips curl back into a sneer. I rip my gaze away quickly, my heart pounding as I continue to peel the potatoes.
"You better not embarrass us tonight Evie," she sneers under her breath. "You're already so useless, I don't want you tainting Kimberly's day."
I lowered my head in shame, tears stinging my eyes as my throat burned. "I won't mom."
"Don't call me that!" She snaps. "Call me beta Margaret! Don't call me mom! I refuse to be called such by the shame of the pack."
Lucy, an old maid here, who was also helping me peel the potatoes for Kim's big day, reaches over and lightly squeezes my hand.
It wasn't the first time mom was so harsh with me but her words always pierce me deeply and painfully.
Tonight would be Kim's birthday, her eighteenth to be exact. It so happens that it would also be my birthday. Just that no one cared about it being my birthday too.
I was used to it. Used to being the one who was the shame of the family. The one who never got her wolf. The one no one cares about. I was used to it.
"I wonder if Alpha Ryan will claim her tonight," one of the helpers who was in the kitchen preparing food for Kim's birthday party tonight exclaimed with a sigh of awe.
I lift my gaze to catch sight of mom's gleaming eyes when she replied in a sweet chirpy tone. "I bet he would! It's already written in stone that they'd be mated. He has to mate with the strongest female in the pack which happens to be Kimberly."
Some of the helpers voiced out their agreements while some like me....stayed silent.
Mom was right, it was already written in stone that Kim would be Alpha Ryan's mate. She was the strongest female in the pack and according to our leaders, alpha Ryan must mate with the strongest female in our pack. It wouldn't matter if she was truly his destined mate or not. He had to mate the strongest and that he was fixed to do.
"My sweet Kimberly," she clapped her hands in happiness. "Makes us so proud every single day....." her eyes caught mine once more and her face morphed back into the sneer she had reserved for me. "Unlike wolfless Evie over here."
I flinched, my head lowering until my sandy brown hair cloaks around my face as if protecting me from my mother's gaze.
"Anyway, I'm going to bring these pretty flowers for Kimberly. After you're done here Evie, Kimberly's room needs to be cleaned," her tone was dry, lacking any emotion before she leaves with the pretty flowers.
As her presence disappears from my own, I could finally let out a sigh and breathe.
Tonight at midnight would also be my birthday but here I was preparing the food with the others for my twin sister's party tonight.
"Are you okay deary?" Lucy's grey eyes scanned my face as the lines around her eyes wrinkle when she frowns.
I nod, swallowing hard. "I've been told worse," I murmur softly. "It's not like I shouldn't be used to it by now."
Lucy's frown deepens and she gives me a sympathetic pat on my shoulder. I hated those pity looks.
I let out a breath and continued to peel the potatoes when I heard heels clicking closer. I had no wolf like the rest of them but I didn't need the enhanced senses to know that it was my sister coming over.
So I was not surprised when I see bright red heels with a beautiful blonde wearing them. She had blue eyes like dad while I had green like mom's. She was also taller than me and her face was sharper unlike me who had chubby cheeks. We were not identical twins.
"Evie," she plaster on a fake smile as she swipes her blonde hair behind her shoulder.
I raised an eyebrow. "Kim?"
"I need you to go get something at Hannah's for me. I need it before noon," her lips plastered on a smile but I saw right through her. "I forgot the necklace Alpha Ryan gave me last year for my birthday in her room."
She walks into the room more, her presence intimidating. "So I need you to go fetch like the good dog you are," she snorted and my heart clenched painfully.
I nod. "Will do."
Lucy gently pries the potato and the peeler away from my hands. "I'll do it, don't worry," with a gentle smile Lucy continues to peel the potatoes while I wash my hands.
"I'll ask dad if I can borrow the car to go. It's too much of a long walk and-
I started but Kimberly cut me off with a sneer. "You stink Evie, dad won't let your sweat go on his seats. You better walk."
I turn to look at her, my nails biting into my flesh as my tongue burned to say the words I really wanted to say to her. A smirk painted on her face.
Hannah's house is like an hour walk from here. I wasn't like them who could shift into a wolf and get there in minutes.
"But-
"I need the necklace before noon," she spat, her eyes narrowing. "You better hurry up before I tell dad and mom that you're upsetting me. Don't want them knowing you're making me sad, right?"
I bit my tongue and with a shaky sigh, I nod. "Fine."
"Try to not be slow," with those final words she's gone.
Lucy gives me a look that is a mix of pity and rage. I forced a smile. "I'll be fine," I said and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. I'll need it if I have to walk all the way to Hannah's.
It's not like anyone would offer me a ride.
I slipped out of the house and breathed in the cool air. The chatter and clinking in the kitchen fading behind me as I start to walk away from the house. However, it is replaced by the sound of distant laughter as the pack members set up for Kim's party tonight.
As I walk , a sudden sound of tires screeching fills the air. I stopped and watch in awe as a red Lamborghini pulls up the driveway.
I know who that expensive shiny red car belongs to.
The door to the Lamborghini opens smoothly and he steps out. Tall, about six feet three, black shaggy hair, dark mysterious eyes and red lips that were made for kissing. He was easily the most handsome guy I have ever seen.
Alpha Ryan.
For the first time today a real smile graces on my lips when our eyes clash.
He tilted his head, a teasing smirk curling up his lip as he said huskily. "Hey munchkin,"
I beamed as I ran over to him. Alpha Ryan was not only going to be my sister's mate, but he had also been my best friend for years.
As she walked out of the hall, a lone tear dropped from her eyes and at that instant, she began cursing Felix. He was the genesis of all her problem. If she didn’t elope with him she wouldn’t be here getting humiliated by Harry in front of many people. Upon getting close to the reception, she wiped the tear off her face and kept a straight face. She was tempted to ask the receptionist for cash but that would be a slap to her face. She ignored the lady’s scorching gaze and walked out of the company. There wasn’t any cash with her, she had no money to go back home. Home? She didn’t even have anywhere to go. She didn’t want to go back to the same person who humiliated her, she was scared he might do worse if she went back to his house. “Miss Zara.” She turned back immediately she heard her name. To her surprise, she found Harry’s cousin there. She wanted to snap at him and ask why he was calling her name, but then she decided not to pass aggression on. “Hey.” “Harry as
The drive to the company was silent. While Harry was busy with his laptop, Zara watched him, trying to see what he was doing. Despite seeing the screen, she couldn’t understand what he was busy doing. She shrugged her shoulders and looked away, staring at the outside views as the car rode speedily.“I’m not supposed to tell you this, but your father called.” Harry suddenly said. She looked at him immediately. Her eyes flashed in surprise. “He did?” “Yes.” “Why?” She asked curiously.“He said he was worried about how you were doing and why you came back to California looking homeless. He asked if I knew where you were.” Her brows furrowed. She found his words unbelievable. “Why would he ask you? You are the last person that comes to anyone’s mind when…”“He saw the photos, the one that was posted the day you called for help.” He cuts her off.“The one at the restaurant?”“Yes. He said he saw us together, and wanted to know if I knew where you were and why you came back to Cali
Zara grabbed the bottle of water through to her by her gym instructor. She uncovered it quickly and gulped down the whole liquid, gasping for breath after that.“I can’t do this anymore.” She fell to the floor, breathing heavily. They had been training for about an hour and it wasn’t even a light training. She had to lift heavy weights, do squats and lots more. It had been a week since the gym instructor arrived in California and started his session with her, and she couldn’t tell if there was a difference. Harry wasn’t home, he went for a business trip three days ago and she didn’t even feel his absence, maybe because they rarely talk while he was at home.“If you continue this way, it will be hard for you to lose weight quickly.” The gym instructor lamented. He was a forty five years old man, but he looked way too younger than his age. He was huge and tall, and Zara could swear he had great six packs beneath his shirt, it was even glaring from his tight gym shirt.“It’s just
Harry’s mansion* The big TV in the living room was displaying an high school show which used to be Zara’s favorite, and on the couch directly opposite the TV was seated Zara. Despite it being one of the shows she used to like much, she wasn’t watching it. Her gaze was fixed on it but her mind was somewhere else, thinking about someone she wasn’t supposed to. She returned from the company and when she got bored, she decided to watch a movie at home, but she couldn’t focus. No matter how hard she tried to deny it, she couldn’t hide the fact that Felix’s betrayal hurt her deeply.The days they laughed together, the days they played together, his smile, his touch, his handsome face, she couldn’t deny the fact that she missed all that. If only money could buy back time, she would have desperately looked for money to go back in time and experience all that again. She missed him so much that it hurts. It hurts because he wasn’t who she think he was. She ought to despise him and forg

She dropped her phone beside her, lost in thoughts. The lady wouldn’t just wake up and decide to apologize for body shaming her, there was more to it. She picked up her phone and tried to message the lady but she found out that the account had been deactivated immediately.“Strange.” She mum
