My Mate’s Deception
At dawn the next day, I called my brother and told him I wanted to leave early.
He agreed right away, even promising a surprise for when he picked me up.
As soon as I hung up, my body felt weak all over.
The door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.
Ivy stormed in, her pregnant belly visible, and threw a handful of silver dust all over me.
“Emily, you really are a bitch. Your mate dies, and you come sniffing around mine? You really think you're the family's favorite, don’t you?!”
Her eyes were full of venom. She sneered and took out a lighter, setting fire to the curtains.
