After the doctor told us that Arlene tried ending her life, we were left speechless. Things didn’t add up because I could tell 100% that she didn’t take the poison. I would have known since I was in her body.We had taken her home on a ventilator, but everybody has already lost hope. Or should I say, their plan was working fine? They wanted to get rid of us. At least they took care of one.I watched them all around me, one by one, some genuinely sad, some angry, and some just pretending to be sad. Daxon’s anger was at the news because he had so much planned with her. Uncle Charles was sad because he wanted her for himself, and my mother was just pretending because she didn’t care at all. Aunt Marrisa seemed neutral and genuinely sad, but only to a limit.One of them has to be the one who gave her poison. I just needed to first get out of this pain of watching my sister suffer and then figure out a way to find her culprit and mend everything that has been broken."I don’t believe she d

He got in bed, and that’s when anger took over me. He cannot treat me like this. He messed up my sister and now he was only sleeping with me because he was angry with me?I jumped out of the bed and rushed to the corner of the room near the door, glaring at him as he frowned."I told you something," he said, muttering through a clenched jaw. He really thought he could scare me into listening to him."And I am saying no!" I raised my voice, clenching my fists back at him. He looked shocked because he had never seen me talk back to him or disobey him."What did you say to me?" He took off from the bed and briskly approached me again. He knew he could scare me to the corner with his muscular body and enraged wolf, but it didn’t stop me from keeping my spine erect."I said, I don’t want to sleep with you," I yelled, and that’s when a knock on the door broke his glare from my face. He approached the door with heavy breaths and an obvious hint of anger on his face. My mom, aunt, and Charles

Reynard’s POV:I watched her turn into a beautiful red wolf, a very peculiar kind. It was never a surprise that there was something very special about her. However, I didn’t want to focus on her. There was once upon a time when I wished to be with her, but all those hopes withered away when she married that asshole. I couldn’t blame her, though. She didn’t have a wolf, and we never interacted, but somewhere deep down, it upset me. It wasn’t enough for me to get over her until I started spending time with Arlene and my thoughts changed about her.I remember watching Arlene with Daxon and constantly wondering how one could do that to her sister after knowing all the details from her. I fathomed she was blackmailed into it. The poor girl had faced so much and then our interactions turned different.Her whole vibe changed, and I began to like her. It was still a little weird because my wolf felt the mate bond with Arlene after we became friends. I thought that was it. I got the other sist

I have spent a few days in a weird setting. I would sneak out at night to let Ena transition and run freely and sneak back in before anybody woke up. I only called Reynard a few times to talk to him about accompanying me to a faraway village, but he never answered my calls. I haven’t been able to visit his pack to see Arlene because I didn’t want my family to see me caring for her.They need to think everything is still in their power and control.Now that I am finally going to school again, I have planned to speak to Reynard upfront and see how I can convince him to go on a mission."You should have stayed home another few days. Your record has always been spotless. It is just that the marriage brought you a lot of stress," my mom said when watching me leave for school. I have been avoiding home-cooked meals because I knew my mother had been drugging us. I only joined the breakfast to eat some fresh fruits and let them know I will be joining school regularly now."I agree with your m

"So tell me," he insisted, taking slow and steady steps to approach me. We were standing on a trail with only one home in sight on the hill. The sky was filled with clouds, and it was going to rain soon. Whereas I was caught in a lie, now I had to come clean with my truth.With Reynard’s approaching steps, I pushed back and away from him in confusion and fright."Tell me which one is the true Serena? The one I am looking at now, who cares and is open to showing her emotions, or the one who only likes to follow Daxon’s lead." As he stopped in front of me and explained his question better, I understood he had yet to find out there were more shades to Serena than he could ever expect. For instance, Serena, was in contact with him all this time when she was in her sister’s body."Oh!" I looked down to take a deep breath."Maybe you are looking at the one version who just woke up after a long slumber---," I answered him, and then after a brief pause, I added, "And she is here to stay."
