I have celebrated my 18th birthday two months ago and here I was, two months later, preparing for my mating ceremony with my childhood friend and my mate; Daxon Dimitri.Our pack The Red Warriors was not the same after the passing of my father. My father departed this earth when I was only four and after that, his beta best friend gained charge of the pack.Uncle Charles had always been an enormous support to us. I should have been the new Alpha of the pack but my wolf never woke up. That has been the biggest insecurity of mine but it didn’t matter to Daxon. He is an Alpha of his pack; The Hill Pride.Both our packs were at a downfall when Uncle Charles suggested we merge the packs. Together, our packs can be pretty powerful and hold an excellent reputation.I was just done shopping for the rest of the stuff when I entered the room and was met with a surprise. My wedding dress had been torn apart, my entire room was a mess.“My wedding dress!” tears ran down my cheeks as I knelt down a

“I would like to talk to her,” she repeated her wish to speak to me and it was finally granted when my mother and aunt left the room for the two of us only.I hadn’t spared her from my glare. I was breathing heavily and fixating my glance on her face.“You cunning little shit.” I got out of the bed and stood at a distance from her. I don’t know what else she can do; I didn’t want to take any risk.“Why? Is it that horrible to be in my body?” she shrugged her shoulders a little when letting out a scoff.“You stole my life,” I retorted, helping her understand why it was so horrible? But the look on her face changed to smug. How can someone be so vile?“I am enjoying your body. This is the first time in my life that I have had everything I could ever dream of.” the little smirk on her lips made me feel disgusted. It was sad that I hated the smirk on my own face.“You wanted to punish me. You did it by ruining my day, now ple---ase give me back my body.” I was still whimpering between the

“Shit!” I cursed, watching the text conversation time and again and letting out sighs of disbelief.“What have you been doing in your life?” I muttered under my breath, bewildered by the choices my sister had made in her life.Now it made sense. She wanted me to help clear out this mess for her.“I need to go and speak to my sister. She needs to tell me why she relied on drugs and what kind of information she has left with her drug dealer for him to blackmail her?” I was muttering under my breath and heading towards the bathroom while unaware of the judgmental stares thrown my way.It wasn’t until I heard a comment that I shook myself awake to my surroundings.“Did you hear what she did on her sister’s wedding day?”The wrinkle between my eyebrows suggested it intrigued me to hear what they knew.“She tried to ruin the day for her by yelling something like, oh I should be there, I’m the bride,”The other girl mimicked me back from the wedding day.I precisely remember yelling I’m the

“What are you talking about?” I was now shaking, with mixed emotions rushing through my veins. If she lost her memory and woke up in my body, why didn’t she question anything?Why didn’t she ask them why she looked like Serena? They sure mentioned a part of her memory. So whatever part is left with her should question her existence as Serena now. Why didn’t she?“She lost her memory. She only remembers the basics of her daily life,” Aunt Marissa thought, repeating after Daxon would clear everything to me, but it confused me even more.“What is going on? Why is Arlene so mad at me?” Serena finally broke the silence and spoke up after quietly listening to us for the past few minutes.I was flabbergasted and left with nothing but shock. How convenient for her to lose her memory at the exact time when she was going to be questioned?“She is lying,” I pointed at her since nobody really thought it was weird, “She is---,” I grunted, unable to escape my mother’s gaze.“What am I lying about?”

For a moment, my mind stopped working. I couldn’t even process what had just happened. He had his lips hard pressed against mine with his hand caging my head and preventing me from moving away from him. It wasn’t even a normal kiss; it was filled with passion and possessiveness. The way he suddenly sucked my lips and moaned on them it froze my body.I was stuck!Unable to respond, and push him away.He was the one who broke the kiss and smirked, setting me free and stepping back, too. Our eyes met for a brief moment and it didn’t indicate he was angry or doing it out of spite. He did it because he wanted to.“So you liked it too.” that comment was another blow to my existence. Did she not like it before?What was happening?I was watching him with peeled-off eyes and tears in them. He was steadily stepping back while smirking wider with his every step.“This is how you apologize to me, Arlene. Don’t forget that,” his voice was now giving me a headache. Serena was in the room and here
