Afterall Or After All

On the day my twin sister, Alexia Cavanaugh, and I turn 22, I collapse and find out that I have late-stage cancer. Ignoring the doctor's advice to be admitted, I walk out of the hospital. All I want is to spend one final birthday with my family without a single worry. But when I arrive at the party, a server stops me at the door and tells me the venue has been reserved exclusively for Alexia. Outsiders aren't allowed in. Through the glass, I watch as my brother holds a cake and my father places a birthday hat on Alexia's head. Even my boyfriend is there, smiling as Alexia makes a wish. I stand there for half an hour, gripping my phone, before my boyfriend finally answers my call. "I was just at the hospital. I—" He cuts me off. "Ophelia, you've always been healthy. It's Lexi's birthday today. We should talk later." Isn't today my birthday too? My mother died giving birth to me. The doctor later explained that I deprived Alexia of nutrients before birth, which left her frail from the start. And just like that, everyone decided I should always step aside for my twin, who was born five minutes before me. I ball up the report with my cancer diagnosis and toss it in the trash. I'm done letting their favoritism hurt me. I've never received their love anyway, so I choose to leave for good.

"Up on your feet," I carefully lifted her up while I was on my feet too. "It's your turn to get on your knees now."

He caught hold of her leg and yanked backwards. She hung on and flailed both legs, kicking him in the head, the face. He fought to hold her legs down. Sweat lathered her hands. They slipped from the post. He yanked again. She rolled over to face him and punched with both fists. Her right fist caught him in the eye. He growled in pain, then threw himself on top of her, pinning her arms and legs. She screamed.She strained to free herself, lunged up to bite him. He jerked backwards. They slid down one stair. She tried to scream again. He slapped a palm over her mouth, his breath hot on her face.She fought him until they had tumbled down every stair. By the time they reached the bottom, every ligament burned. She stared at him wide-eyed, gasping for breath between his bruising fingers.She trembled violently, longed to run again but knew it would do no good. He stood at a good seven inches taller and outweighed her by at least fifty pounds. She didn't stand a chance.All she could do now was placate him. Do what he wanted... no matter what it was!

The night of my first shift at eighteen, my two older brothers brought home a twelve-year-old orphaned Omega. My alpha brother seized the rare healing herb I'd spent all my savings on—herbs meant to ease my first transformation—and gave them to her instead. "You're strong enough," he growled. "You don't need such precious herbs." My beta brother snarled with fury, pointing toward the door. "Get out! Don't come back!" I said nothing more, just grabbed my packed bag and left. They assumed I was merely throwing a tantrum, that I'd return in a few days. My brothers, finally free of my presence, took the orphan girl on an international vacation to the Caribbean islands I'd always dreamed of visiting. Many days later, when they returned to the pack, they were shocked to discover I'd accepted an offer from the neighboring pack's Head Healer. The position required fifteen years of isolated herbal research. I could never return home. That night, they fell apart.

He pushed me roughly, grabbing my legs and humping his hard d**k on my p*ssy gate. "Fuck! we shouldn't be doing this." he hissed under his breath. "Shhh." I whispered to his ears. "You opened my legs, inserted your sausage inside my cherry...and now you are backing off? Daddy, something is considered forbidden, only when you make it so." **********(Flashbacks). “Samantha Monroe, do you take Dominic Vance to be your lawfully wedded husband?” Cierra's breath caught under the veil. The name wasn’t hers, it was her mother's. But the entire church waited. Cameras flashed. And somewhere, her mother was still trapped in a courtroom on the other side of the city, where her flight was with-held. “I… do.” The words came out barely a whisper. Dominic’s fingers brushed hers as he slid the ring on. Warm. Certain. He didn’t know the woman beside him wasn’t his bride.. only the bride's daughter. It was supposed to be a cover-up, a harmless favor to protect her mother’s reputation for a few hours. But one signature turned the lie into law, and one look from Dominic, created a huge lust in her... a temptation that made her realize there would be no easy way out. When her mother finally returned, victory in court, she found her new husband already captivated by her daughter, the girl who’d worn her veil. Now the secret binds all three of them: A daughter carrying a forbidden truth, A mother desperate to reclaim the man meant for her, and A husband torn between the woman he promised and the one he can’t forget. In a world where every vow hides a sin, Cierra must learn that not all that glitters is gold… sometimes, it’s her stepdad.
