Author’s POV:Years Ago:'Mate' She heard it again.The two spoke for hours after finding out they were mates. Adra needed a shoulder and got an alpha mate instead. Phillip seemed different from Charles; he was considerate and gentle with her. He talked about accepting her and making her Luna right away.Phillip took her to his mansion after she expressed her desire to see it, and soon things heated between them. In no time, they were in Phillip’s bed and having sex.Adra was not a virgin, but Phillip was. He had kept himself for his mate. However, Adra lost her virginity to Charles when they turned 18. It didn’t bother Phillip. He didn’t care if there was anyone else before him; he was happy to find her now and promised to be the better one for her.With every thrust inside her, he felt her scratch her nails into his back and squirm. His hands traveled around her beautiful body, exploring parts that made her bite her lip and close her eyes. His lips cradled her nipples until they ca

Author’s POV:Years Ago:Charles had sat down in the living room after telling Adra he didn’t want to accept her anymore and she knew why.“I am so sorry!” she hadn’t stopped crying while sitting on his feet. He had been on his phone all this time, not wanting to speak to Adra but also letting her grab his legs and beg for acceptance.“Why are you crying in front of me? Go ask him to accept you and his baby.” Charles put his phone down and yelled at her, scoffing at her sight.“I don’t want to be with him. It was an honest mistake, and I know how I can prove it to you.” She mumbled, cleaning the tears with the back of her hand and getting up from the floor to sit beside him on the couch.“How?” Charles asked out of curiosity. He would like to hear what she was thinking.“I can abort these babies,” she smiled, telling him how cold she could be. It was another moment where he realized he had made the right choice by not accepting her and choosing Marrisa.Adra was going to abort the bab

"What?" I asked, almost stunned by his decision. I was expecting him to be so cold toward me. I understand I never noticed him prior to the body swap, and that was because Daxon never let me. I was never allowed to have words with anyone or walk around without Daxon’s permission or his company. It's not like I ever felt a romantic connection with him before."That’s the only way to prevent making any mistakes," he shrugged, looking very relaxed when talking about rejecting his fated mate."And that doesn’t bother you? I mean, you are talking about rejecting me. It is not a small thing." I can’t tell how offensive I sounded, but I was mad at him for doing that to me. I really thought we were connecting."But it is important. I don’t want Arlene to wake up and find out while she's sleeping. I created a bond with her sister," he said, raising his voice a little too loud."Fine. Go ahead, reject me then. But I am telling you, you will regret," I sounded mean, I knew. But at the moment, he

"I will have the most perfect mating ceremony for us," Reynard said, hugging me from the back. We took a shower and sat next to the fireplace after we were done."Reynard! I really want to help my sister first. I don’t think I can be happy while she is in so much distress," I sighed, talking about how the council will take her away now that she will wake up."I will help you in whatever way I can," Reynard said."Do you think she too will get a wolf now that I got it too?" I asked, and he tightened his arms around my body."I hope so. But we need to focus on exposing Charles, Lady Adra, and Daxon, just in case Arlene wakes up with no wolf." He explained why we needed to focus on putting them on trial."You know, she kept my body safe from Daxon after marriage. Everyone always portrays her as my enemy. Little did I know they were the real enemies." I closed my eyes to let out a sigh. I turned around and hid my face in Reynard’s chest after the recalling of Arlene’s messed up life flash

I have been brainstorming about what mom said to me. There was no way I could allow her to marry him without a backup plan. The only reason they kept Arlene was because Charles wanted her. If Charles got over her, he would kill her in a heartbeat when she woke up. Now that Reynard wouldn’t be marrying her, Arlene would be sent back to our mansion, where she was not safe at all. And since they have already portrayed her as someone who is depressed and wants to end her life, her murder would be called a suicide. ‘If you are planning to make this wedding happen, make sure Charles and Adra get into a hate relationship the instant they mark each other,’ Ena suggested. Having her has been truly beneficial to me. Ever since she woke up, she has helped me with whatever she can. ‘That’s what I am thinking about. I need to use something against mom to make Charles see how evil she is,’ I said, rubbing my palms and walking around my room. ‘Who do you think tried poisoning Arlene? I am sure you
