I “Stole” the Alpha’s Love, but I’m Giving Him Back to My Sister
My mother asked me to step aside and let my twin sister have Ronan, my mate-to-be.
She held my hand gently, her eyes full of pleading.
"Mara, your sister has given in to you for twenty years. Just this once, let her have him, all right?"
She was not wrong.
I had been fighting and grabbing since I was a child.
Whatever my twin sister, Aurelia, had, I had to have too.
Even when she took medicine, I would insist on stealing a sip.
Mom always said I had been competitive before I was even born, that I had taken too much from Aurelia in the womb, and that was why she had come into the world so weak.
So dad would wade through freezing river water and go deep into the forest to pick moonfruit for her.
Mom learned to weave so she could make every dress Aurelia wore from childhood to adulthood with her own hands.
And I had nothing.
All I could do was charge forward like a little thief, snatching whatever scraps I could reach.
Because I knew that if I did not fight for anything, nothing would ever be mine.
This time, Aurelia fell in love with Ronan at first sight.
And I, who had never given up so much as an inch, obeyed without a fight.
"Fine."
After all, I had been poisoned by wolfsbane while saving her and mom, and I was already living on borrowed time.
After I died, regret drove them all mad.
