Stormie-His question seemed to suck the air out of my lungs. If anything, it almost felt as if he had just dunked me in a pool of water and refused to let me up. I hadn’t lied about not knowing I was allergic, but that would explain why, after only a sip of whiskey in the past, I had been plastered.Every second that passed, I felt better. When I woke up, I realized I was in the hospital, but I vaguely recall what events occurred to lead me to this point. His words told me enough to know I had messed up and got caught.“How about we try the truth for a change? Do you not think I can sense your lies from a mile away?” Axel leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes were like daggers, trying to get past my defenses.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I frowned to seem innocent.He could try to get me to waver all he wanted, but I have been dealing with a lot in the past, and this didn’t scare me. I suspected I would get caught eventually, so I devised a plan to s

Stormie-As planned, Axel and I left the house a quarter before noon. He only told me to dress comfortably and meet him on the front porch at half past eleven. Since returning home, I haven’t seen much of him. He took a quick shower and told me not to expect him back until our date.“Where are we going?” I asked as we climbed into his Jeep.“Well, I realize that I don’t know much about you. I also know I have been keeping you at arm’s length, so I thought we could spend today simply getting to know each other.” He looked over at me for a moment before he focused on driving.I considered it momentarily, but I didn’t need to. This morning, I already decided just to be myself today. What happened after Misty returned wasn’t my problem. I liked Axel and wanted to have at least one day where I could imagine he liked me for me.Smiling, I put my seat belt on just as we headed into town. “What is the first thing on the agenda?”“Lunch. I don’t know about you, but I am starving. Afterward, we

Stormie- “It looks like you are enjoying my life a little too much.” Standing up, I peered at the stands and saw Misty walking down. I wasn’t sure how long she had been there. I panicked, as I had hoped to have a little more time. Taking a step back, I looked around to see if Axel was still around. “Well, it matters not. I am here to take back what belongs to me.” Misty’s sneer seemed to be more devious than I remembered. What happened to her after she disappeared? I wanted to tell her that, technically, she was living my life, but I knew it would be pointless. Now that she was back, I could leave and live my life in peace. I would miss Axel, but I was no match for my family. Without a wolf, I was even less of a match for Misty. “I will leave so you can take over.” I bowed my head to keep my eyes low, succumbing to my old ways when I had to back down out of fear of having something worse happen to me. “Did you seriously think it would work like that?” Misty had left the stands an

Axel-I have been pacing the waiting room for almost two hours, waiting for the doctor to tell us something. My mother was a hysterical mess. When the doctor finally arrived, my mother and I rushed toward him.“How is he?” I asked.“Can I see him now?” My mother asked at the same time.“Okay, I know you two have been waiting anxiously, but you can calm down. He is out of the woods, and after running some tests, we discovered that he is simply exhausted. His body is worn out, and he just needs to rest. You guys can see him, but please don’t stay for long. He needs to get some sleep before we can release him.” The doctor motioned for us to proceed down the hall he came from, guiding us to my Father’s room.“Thank you so much.” My mother said to the doctor as we reached the room.“No problem.” The Doctor nodded his head before walking away.When we entered the room, my Father was already sitting up in bed. “I must have given you quite the scare.”My mother rushed to his bed, throwing his

Axel-When I woke up the following day, I felt much better. It was only five in the morning, so I knew Misty wouldn’t be up yet. I wanted to apologize to her for my behavior last night. As I lay in bed this morning, debating whether to get up or return to sleep, I considered the possibility that it was because of the stress I was under with my father in the hospital.As I climbed out of bed and showered, I thought about what I could do to make it up to her. I could explain what happened with my father and why I had to rush out on her during our date. Perhaps another date might help, except this time something more formal.With a plan in mind, I exited the shower and prepared for the day. Going through her clothes in my room, I found a beautiful black dress that I thought would look great on her. Laying it on the bed, I went to my desk to write a note for her.“I will be busy today, but I would like to take you on another date. Be ready by eight tonight. I will pick you up, and I would

Axel-“Tell me!” I leaned in until I was but an inch from her face.Misty flinched, but she didn’t open her mouth to speak. I was getting angrier by the second, and if she didn’t tell me soon, I couldn’t make any guarantees for her pathetic life. Every second I was wasting with her was another second that I could lose the woman I loved.“How long do you think she can hold out?” Dominic asked.“I give her another thirty seconds before her willpower is depleted.” Breck answered.“Want to make a bet?” Dominic asked, obviously amused.“Enough!” I yelled but kept my attention on Misty.Breck had guessed correctly because thirty seconds later, Misty gasped, and her eyes clouded over. I didn’t know if it was because of her mark or what it was, but I had to admit I was slightly impressed with how long she held back. When her eyes locked with mine and she started speaking, it sounded as if she was a robot.“Her name is Stormie. She is my twin sister. You were supposed to marry me, but I left,

Axel-Once the path was figured out, we rushed through the tunnel. It felt like we were getting lower in the Mine due to the downward slope. For a while, I wondered if I had been wrong and if we were going the wrong way.Ten minutes later, I saw a light in the distance and heard someone yelling. As we proceeded, the voice became louder until I could recognize it. It was my mother’s voice. She must have realized the main entrance had collapsed and found where the other exit was.A few yards from the wide exit, the ground began to shake again. Losing my balance, I stumbled but quickly caught myself against the wall, careful not to let Stormie get injured. Breck grabbed my shoulders and forced me to keep moving while helping me maneuver around the falling rocks.As we reached the exit, my mother grabbed us by our shirts, pulling us away. The tunnel completely collapsed just as we got out. We didn’t get out completely unscathed, as I was hit with a blast from behind and was thrown forward

Axel-Having not slept, I was already sitting up in bed, working on my laptop, when my parents returned. Breck and Dominic brought me some things from the house last night when I realized lying in bed wasn’t solving anything. I spent the night trying to find as much information as possible about Stormie, but everything was about Misty.“Good morning.” My mother greeted me as she brought over a container of food. “I thought you might be hungry.”“I am fine.” I accepted the container anyway, but set it aside for now.“You look like you haven’t slept.” My father’s tone was rigid, but when I looked at him, I could see the concern in his eyes.“I couldn’t. I decided to do a little investigation but couldn’t find anything about Stormie except for school records.”“I thought about it last night. I remembered Katrina and Corey had two daughters, but I didn’t know anything about the other daughter. Maybe I have seen Stormie, but I likely mistook her for Misty. I remember I asked about their ki
