Pregnant For My Sister’s Mate 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 5

Lyla’s POV “Lyla, will you mind helping me to set the table?” My elder sister, Elowen, called to me, in her light and patient voice, in the kitchen. I heaved a sigh and pulled my hair and went down. I am supposed to be preparing to go to work but I guess I had to be polite at least a few minutes. Her friends lay sprawling in the chairs and couches giggling themselves about something I could not hear. There was silence the second I stepped into the living room, and then one of them, a tall girl with short dark hair, leaned forward smirking.“So, Elowen, have you chosen a dress for the mating ceremony?” she said.I could feel Elowen stiffen. “Yes,” she replied promptly, and her voice was tight, as though she wished the question to be over and over. “Oh…let’s see.” Her friends chorused at once.“I-“ Elowen stuttered.“Common, it can’t be that bad.” The tall girl pestered.“If she does not want to show you, leave her to alone.” I replied rudely.“No…it’s fine.” Elowen replied and w

Lyla’s POV“By the strength of the pack and the blessing of the moon goddess I bless this union,” said the elder, and his voice was steady as he laid his hands over the hands of my sister and those of Kieran. “May your wolves know each other and your union last till all times.”Elowen gave Kieran a squeeze and her eyes were sparkling.

Now I have to take her home, as--we do not do the same thing as you. The rogue ceremony is something that needs to be done privately and uniquely.””I changed my position and felt the knot of my chest. My sister smiled, excited an oblivious to the truth.Should I tell her? My throat got tight as I thought of telling the truth. She would be shattered, in case I said something.

Lyla’s POVMy mind did not allow me to rest as I sat on my bed staring at the wall. The recollection of that evening, six weeks before, was rolling like a sadistic cycle. I had backed out. I had deceived Elowen, and told her that I wished to go with the soldiers back to our old pack, and collect our things. I had uttered it without a second thought, and I had to sound careless, yet my stomach was turning with the guilt.I hated myself. My silence had increased in weight each day since. I despised the fact that I could not gather the courage to tell her the truth, that I had allowed my fear to mislead me. I despised the fact that Kieran- her mate- was publicly loving and flaunting her, whilst the mark still on my skin and she was unaware.My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at my door. I gathered myself, and a maid came in, with a tray of food.“Good afternoon, Miss Layla;” the maid said in a polite manner, laying the tray on the side table. “I have brought food.” “Thanks,” I
