Novel & Cerita Mated In The Shadow Of My Sister

My beast grimaced instantly at the stench of sweat, alcohol, perfume, lust it clung to the air. But beneath it, faint and fading, lingered my sister’s scent. It anchored me. It was the only reason I endured this place. I heard the humans whisper. “S Group’s heir…” “He’s even more handsome in person…” “His sister was here…” “If only she was well behaved like him…” I ignored it. “Find my sister,” I ordered. Hedrick gave a curt nod and slipped into the crowd, tracking her trail. I went to the spot where the fight had been recorded. The stink of pain and fear still lingered. I reached for the bond now that I was closer but nothing.

Mum's sobs became louder. "Mum?" I shook her gently feeling a sense of dreaded urgency, "what is Luc talking about?" "Nothing," Mum croaked with a sniff, her eyes were bloodshot. "Your sister is possessed." Luc screeched. A high-pitched sound that made the hair on my arms stand on ends. "Luc—" I blurted as I moved to her, cautiously putting one foot before the other like I was approaching a wild animal. I felt the onset of a pandemonium.

A wave of sorrow surged through my heart. Since they loved each other, I would fulfill their wishes. In this lifetime, I would live for myself. I picked up the pen and slowly wrote Sophia's name in the mate section. "Adrian, since you love her so much, let it be as you wish." I submitted the completed registration form to the city hall staff and soon received the mate certificate. I was not sad. Instead, I felt an indescribable sense of relief. My sister and I lost our parents in the territorial wars, and Adrian's family adopted us. I was someone who worked quietly without fighting or competing, while my sister had a personality that knew how to please others.

Anna can't die… she can't, but If she does… I swear to the Moon goddess, my parents will pay dearly for it, I will make it my life’s mission to see them suffer as she is suffering now, I promise. I furrowed my brows in anger and clenched my fist as I deepened myself in the thought of what I’d do if my mate died. “Peter!” I heard a voice call me from a distance. I cleared the tears in my eyes quickly before I turned to meet Thea running towards me with tears in her eyes. I couldn't let anyone see me in tears… not even my sister. Along with my sister, I saw my brother, Jackson, or as I usually call him, Jake, walking behind her.

I couldn’t let her see me cry, not when she already looked so tired, so thin, and shadows gathering under her eyes from too many sleepless nights. “I’m okay, sis.” I tried to smile, but the stretch only made the sting in my cheeks flare. She then pressed her lips together, shoulders shuddering, as if my words alone had hurt her. “Idiot, how can you be okay? Your mouth’s bleeding.” “Haaah, these siblings are starting to get on my nerves.” The rogue’s shadow fell over us, and I froze, meeting his glare. I was ready to apologize, to say anything just to ease his frustration, but he didn’t wait. In one motion, he snatched my sister up and slung her over his shoulder, as if she weighed nothing.

The site of the true Celestial Gate. Then darkness took me, and I fell into the cold embrace of shade, wondering if I'd ever see the sister I'd protected without ever knowing why. The sister who was my twin. The sister who was my only hope.

Their shirts hugged their chest to accentuate their tone muscles and my ovaries were exploding over here. I lit up seeing both my god of a mate and my brother approaching me. 'Christopher! Finally you decided to come get your little sister. How nice of you to take your sweet time.' 'So fucking good to hear your annoying voice, but let's not get too excited. I've seen these two fight and right now they are both seeping so much power I'm not sure we can take them.' 'Psh! They are nothing to a Shadow, big brother.' 'You sure? Because I do have a plan, but it might get us killed.'

My big sister scornfully told leaving to find her mates. I watched as a few people happily found their mates and this then gave me hope that I'd find mine as well. I wondered around hearing commotion before seeing Beta Williams kissing a girl who was no doubt his mate, everyone erupted into celebration, I looked towards my sister to see her crying before running off. I followed after my sister, I placed my differences aside knowing my sister needed me but before I could reach her a slight scent caught my attention. "Mate." A voice I knew all too well said from behind me.

Lewis rubs a hand over his face, opening his mouth to speak. One sharp glare from Talia shuts him up instantly. That reaction alone confirms it. Even if I wanted to deny what I heard, only a mate bond could explain that kind of instant obedience. My sister and Lewis fucking Thornfield are mates. Talia opens her mouth to explain, but I raise my hands and take a step back. "I need a moment." My thoughts are spiraling. My sister and…I can't even finish the sentence. The absurdity of it all is too much.

But the pull, the bond, was too strong, and the word tore itself from me before I could stop it. “Mate…” The night air grew unbearably still. My world tilted on its axis, caught between two brothers. “You’re my mate.” The words rolled from Shirin’s lips like a dark melody, smooth and confident—but beneath it, there was something feral, something that made my stomach twist and my heart hammer painfully in my chest.
