Semua Bab My Sister's Fiance, My Fated Mate : Bab 1 - Bab 8

**Elena**“How dare you try to seduce your sister's husband?!”. She said as her palm landed hard on my cheeks. My face snapped to the side. I didn’t flinch. I’d learned not to.“I'm... sorry” I managed to say. ‘I was only trying to look out for Helena”. I continued.“Oh, spare me that nonsense. You’re nothing but a substitute, Elena, and you better get that straight into your head.” She fired back at me.This wasn't the first time I was hearing those words from my stepmother's lips. I had to pay the price for being bad luck and not protecting my sister enough that she had to run away.“I promise, I'll not go near his room again”..I said, trying to hold back the tears.For peace to reign and for my father's sake I had to put on this mask and hide the fact that I was in love with Xavier, my sister's betrothed husband and the father of my unborn pup.“Now get dressed and spray this on your body, it has your sister's scent all over. And the Alpha wouldn't be able to tell the difference.”

**Elena**"Xavier.. Please don't chase me out. I beg of you," I said, as tears streamed down my face.I could hear my heart pounding in my chest. What would he do to me?."I asked you a question, Helena, and I expect an answer," he said sternly, though his voice sounded tipsy.I moved closer, and I could smell the alcohol on him."Are you drunk, Xavier?" I asked as I approached him. He was never himself after drinking too much. But… this felt different. There was pain in his eyes, something deeper than the burn of whiskey. Had I really hurt him that much?"Since you have nothing to say, I'll just leave," he staggered."Please stay," I pleaded, wrapping my arms around him from behind. My boobs pressed against his firm back, and the fear of rejection made my heart ache.I felt his grip on my arms as he turned my face to meet his. He removed the mask and looked at me with an unreadable expression.I couldn’t tell if he was surprised, pleased, or even disgusted.After a few seconds of si

**Elena**"There's no need to come out, Helena," he said, his voice low but clear.What did he mean by "Helena"?“Xavier, what are you talking about?” I asked, trying to step out of the room to make sure I heard him correctly.“I won’t repeat myself...” he interrupted, blocking my movement. “If you’re going to come out, you better be in your mask. And I won’t tolerate this newfound closeness towards me.”I pinched my skin to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Reality struck me, and I realized I wasn’t.The memories of last night flashed back, and I recalled that Xavier had come in drunk. But how could he not remember anything? And my voice? Did he not notice it?At this point, I let myself fall to the floor, my face buried in my arms. Why was the Moon Goddess testing me?.I stood up slowly, careful not to make a sound. He was still standing just outside the door, his back to me, but I could hear the shift in his breathing, like he was battling something inside himself."Why do you keep cal

**Elena**The air was thick with something unexplainable—like he’d just left. My chest tightened. No, it couldn’t be. Not him… not here.A dull headache gripped me as I tried to remember what had happened.I pressed my palms against my face, feeling a sense of relief. The mask was still on, but then something else caught my attention. I traced my fingers to my neck. The hospital gown had tightly covered the mark, just as I wanted.I could smell his presence all around me. "It couldn't be possible that he had been here." I muttered, rubbing my forehead."Why'd you do that?" a voice interrupted my thoughts. I raised my head to see Nick.Panic surged through me. Did he remove the mask? Has he seen my face? Does he know the truth? Has he told anyone?"Helena..." he called out, snapping me back to reality."What happened?" he continued. "You took an overdose.""What?" He just called me Helena.And the overdose... Oh, I remembered that."I don't know what happened, Nick. I just wanted to qu
