All Chapters of Her Mate Chooses The Fake Sister Who Stole Her Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I stormed into Howling Moon, the bass of the music thrumming through her bones like a second heartbeat. The air was thick with the scent of sweat, whiskey, and wild magic—werewolves, shifters, and thrill-seekers packed the underground bar, their laughter and growls blending into the night.I wasn’t supposed to be in—dark, reckless, alive, not a word for the Emerson heir—but after tonight, after the way Liam had looked at her, I didn’t care about rules anymore.I slid onto a barstool, the leather creaking under me. "Something strong," I told the bartender, a broad-shouldered shifter with gold-flecked eyes. He gave me a once-over—my rumpled blouse, the smudged mascara I hadn’t bothered to fix—but didn’t ask questions. Smart man.The whiskey burned going down, but I welcomed it. Better than the ache in my chest.I shut my eyes and ordered another shot. I gulped down the whole cup and kept ordering more till my surroundings started to feel lighter.The dance floor called to me, bodies mov

The hospital doors swung shut behind me with a satisfying click, cutting off my father's booming voice mid-threat. I didn't need to hear the rest - I knew the script by heart. Disobedient daughter. Ungrateful heir. The Emerson family mantra.Behind me, the door creaked open. I didn’t need to turn to know it was Liam. His presence was like a storm at my back, electric and suffocating."Avery—" His voice was rough, conflicted.I kept walking.Then, like clockwork, Riley’s breathy whimper cut through the hallway. "Liam… my chest… it hurts…"I didn’t stop to watch him choose. Again. He chose Riley."He chose her over us..." Lydia whimpered in both shock and pain. His tenderness with Riley must have been too much for her to bear."It was expected," I replied, trying to hide my disappointment."But still...""It's for the best. We weren't meant to be." I cut off Lydia's haunting whines."... It's high time we let go," I added in a whisper, taking a sharp breath. I swallowed hard when I hear

He really had the guts to bring her here with him, after what had happened at the hospital. Riley's face turned crimson red at my direct accusation."It isn't what it looks like Avery... I was just here to...""Save your explanations for someone who cares." The indignation in my word was as clear as water. I sounded vile but I didn't care, as long as my words gets passed.But I was wrong.All of a sudden, I felt Liam's strong hold on my wrist again as he cornered me at the wall."Don't you speak to us that way!!" He let out a low menancing rumble, showing his dominance and intimidating self.I gently cocked my head to the side, wondering why he would think that I would succumb to his authority, I was his mate for fuck sake!! His equal!!"What are you going to do about it??" My lips twitched into a smirk when I noticed how increasingly infuriated he was at my boldness and resistance to his authority.He snarled, his blue eyes had a piercing glare as they stayed on mine while I maintain

There he was, dressed handsomely in a black tuxedo, his hair styled back highlighting his beautiful blue eyes but next to him was Riley. Her arms around him like she owned him, like he was her accessoryHis eyes were cold as he acted like I wasn't there. Before Riley could engage me in a conversation, I walked away.As the event went on, I watched as Riley paraded around the ballroom with Liam in her arms, making everyone think they were together."Welcome Mr. Russell, Ms. Emerson." The host greeted as he led them 5o their table.They were surrounded by other high ranking wolves and most of them couldn't take their eyes off them."Your Fiancee looks beautiful tonight." One of them complimented and all attention around the table was drawn to them."Don't flatter me.." Riley replied with a shy smile as she pulled herself closer to Liam with a soft expression on her face."A compliment needs to be given when it's earned. You really hit the jackpot with her Liam. She gorgeous and she's th

"I've decided to cancel my engagement to Liam Russell and revoke my title. I am no longer an Emerson nor your future Luna anymore."I watched as the expression of everyone's faces instantly switched to that of shock; then, the side talks started."What's going on?""Why is she stepping down from being the heir and getting married to Liam Russell?""Is she out of her mind? Others would be killing to get what she has and she's throwing it away."The murmurs were infuriating but I held myself back. People judge when they don't even know much about the person they are judging so why try explaining to them when they'll only judge more?It's my life and my decision and I've chosen to live for myself, even if people see it as something so absurd and stupid to do.I gave the microphone back to Benjamin who already looks like he was about to eat me alive when;"Is your decision to leave the family related to your accident five years ago?" I felt the hair on my body stand upon hearing that ques
