Chapter 3

Karla:

I climb through my window and get into my room, I was just throwing the duvet to cover myself when I heard the tap on my door and the warrior summoning me.

I didn't bulge since my nanny had told me, the alpha wanted to speak with my sister and me. I walked down the hallway to his office, I couldn't even remember the last time, I set eyes on my father, he was a busy man, I know but I think, it wasn't just his busy schedule that had caused it, but the fact that he doesn't want to see me.

"C'mon in..." His voice came up as I raised my arm to tap on his door. I know he must have smelled me. I pushed the door and walked into the office, his eyes were buried in a file in front of him. He sat behind an executive chair desk, wearing a well-tailored black tuxedo clinging to his massive frame. I wondered what he wanted to discuss that couldn't wait, my eyes moved slowly to my perfect sister, having her platinum blonde hair down covering half of her face, she was gorgeous almost too perfect to be called just a wolf, while our mother sat beside her, caressing her back.

Something was off, her amber eyes were buff like she had been crying. What could have happened at the ball to the Princess of Nightshades Pack? "Have your seat, Karla." He beckons me like I was his favorite pet. I swallow hard staring at the seat beside my mother, I shake my head. I would rather stand. "We have something important to discuss." He said ignoring my actions.

"What is it Alpha?" I couldn't even regard him as my father, because I couldn't even remember the last time, he referred to me as his daughter or treated me like one.

"I am not getting younger and you are not naive to the news of wolf hunters invading packs and capturing the household of the alpha and you know I am old, so it's time to have a younger generation to rule, someone that could take my place."

My curiosity perked up immediately, even though I knew I had no business in what would be said here, it's not like Father will pass his title to me and I doubt if other pack alphas knew he had more than one daughter, still I wanted to know what is behind this meeting.

"So are you stepping down for my sister?" My eyes move to my sister, it's a great piece of news and I know she had always bragged about being the first female alpha of this pack but why is she not happy? Did Father pick another?

"There is a law, that is going on between the pack, to get Pack alliance there must be marriage alliance. Before other packs could help us, there must be a marriage alliance and it's a good thing, I have a daughter, that could fit into that role."

"So an Alpha had decided to have a pack alliance with us and he wants to marry Anastasia?" I asked.

"Yes, Alpha Killian Rasmus, is willing to have one with us." My eyes bulge, and my heart shrinks for my sister. That bloody cold-hearted monster. Yes, he is handsome, strong, powerful, just the man needed to protect a Pack, every she-wolves dreams, but he is a monster, a brute, and a heartless beast.

I don't need a seer to tell me that Killian is a demon, he is a sinister. I just weakness his brutality and I don't think Anastasia stands a chance to tame the monster.

"Alpha Killian Rasmus is allying in exchange for marriage to my sister?" My voice softened like I was the one in the bad situation.

Although Anastasia never treated me like a kid sister, that doesn't stop me from worrying about her, even though most time, I get into trouble because of my sister and dad never for once spare me.

"Yes and no..." I looked at my father confusingly, I couldn't make out his words, and I guess he understood my dilemma, so he parted his lips to explain. "Yes, because he met your sister at the party and he accepted to take her as his mate and I agreed to it."

"What the fuck father? You want to give sister to that monster?" I whirled at my father furiously and desperately, hating every single word coming out of his mouth. "You are not going to be an ass..."

"Karla..." Father growled banging the table, as he stood from his chair. His height towering over me, making me feel like some ant in front of an elephant. I bit the inside of my cheeks, fighting the urge not to cower, that has always been the case, is either he was trying to intimidate me or letting out an Alpha's command, and I am always fighting it, and one of the ways I do that, is biting the inside of my cheek till I bleed. At this point, I was already tasting blood. "You don't talk to your father like that."

"Sorry alpha, but letting Anastasia be with that joke of an alpha is an asshole move..."

"Yes, I know that alpha is a prick that is where the word no comes into place..." I breathe in relief. "No, I am not letting your sister marry that asshole, I can't risk my lovely daughter's life by giving her to that beast, that is where you come into the picture..." The blood in my veins drains and my face becomes pale, my eyes bulge staring at my father. "You will marry him, in the place of your sister, you will become his mate under the mask of your sister." My jaw dropped when my father threw a facial prosthetic mask of my sister on the desk. "From now on, you will wear this mask, you will no longer be Karla, your name will be Anastasia, and her favorite food, colors, and hobbies will all be yours. You will take the place of your sister and your hair color will be altered by tomorrow considering the fact your union will be tomorrow night by 10 pm under the moonlight and you will learn how to act and speak like your sister, you must not tell anyone what happened between the four walls of this office."

"No way, I will not..."

"C'mon, Karla, you don't want to force me to spill everything that happened that night on your fifteenth birthday. Do you?" I swallowed hard as I stared at my monster of a sister and my mother beside me. Someone I was feeling so bad for, couldn't show a single empathy towards me, I don't know if my situation is worse. Staying here and letting my sister spill my little secret or go to Alpha Killian's pack. Whatever choice I made, none was good. "Stop giving that look, the alpha isn't all bad, he is handsome, super hot and his eyes are charming and captivating..." I watch with tears as my sisters give her hilarious description of the alpha, if he is that perfect why didn't she accept to be his mate?

"Why don't you just accept to be his mate? Since he is so perfect?" I snarled and tilted my gaze back to my father. I know Mother wouldn't bulge. "Father, please... I don't want to be mate to him, you could demote me to being just another one of your omegas but please don't give me to him. I don't want a mate as evil as him, I am your daughter as..."

"Enough Karla... Stop with the tantrum, stop making me seem like a beast that doesn't care about you. Is not like you are going to be with him all the rest of your life, I just need you to do three things for me, just those three things accompanied by four rules, and before you know it, you will be back here, safe and sound. Trust Father and no harm will come to you"

"Three things? Four rules?" I asked my tears already unshaded, they were streaming down my cheeks something I wouldn't want to show these three monsters I called family.

"Yes, three things and you will be back here before you know it."

"What are those?" Yet again, files flew across the table, father was already back on his chair, and my arms trembled as my vision was blurry with tears, still, those words were already registered in my head, I will become a Spy on Alpha Killian, [Find a weak spot in the alpha's security, infuriate the Pack against him and get rid of him…”
