Ethan's Point of View(Earlier that morning)"Wake up, Ethan," I heard Ella say before she poured cold water on me, causing me to open my eyes and sit up on my bed. "Happy Eighteenth Birthday, brother," Ella laughed as she ran out of my room."I am going to get you back, Ella," I growled. I should have known she was going to pull a stunt like that. She always did something to me every year on our birthday. I got up out of bed and walked over to the bathroom, which was attached to my room. I took off my wet clothes and got into the shower. My name is Ethan Black, and today is my eighteenth birthday, along with my twin sister Ella. You would think that we hated each other because of the way she just poured water on me, but we were actually really close. I loved my sister, and she loved me. I would never let anyone hurt her, and she would never let anyone hurt me. After taking a shower, I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and headed back to my room. A few minutes later, there was a knock o
Ethan's Point of View"Ethan, wait up," My best friend and future beta, Ryan, said, causing me to stop walking and look at him. "Where are you going?" Ryan asked. "For a walk. I need some air," I said. I needed to get away from Jane. She wouldn't leave me alone. She apologized to me for trying to mark me. She told me it was her wolf and that she felt terrible. I wasn't sure if she was being truthful. I had a feeling she was the one who wanted to mark me and not her wolf, but I decided to let it go and told her that I forgave her. It was a big mistake because, after that, she wouldn't keep her hands off of me. She was acting like we were still in a relationship. She was calling me baby and trying to kiss and hug me. I couldn't take it anymore, and I needed to get out of the packhouse, so I decided to go for a walk. "I will walk with you," Ryan said, and we started walking toward the woods in silence. "It's because of my sister, isn't it?" Ryan asked. Yes, Jane was Ryan's twin sister,
Sofia's Point of ViewI had never been so happy in my life. The girl I had always loved was my mate. I put my face into her hair and inhaled her scent. I would never get enough of her scent. I was sure everyone was watching, but I didn't care. The only person that mattered was Sofia. "It's you. I can't believe it's you. You have no idea how happy I am that it's you," I said. I pulled away and looked at her face, and smiled. "Um, what are you talking about?" Sofia asked, causing me to frown. Sofia looked so shocked, and I couldn't blame her. I was sure she was confused about what I was talking about. She was probably wondering why I was hugging and talking to her after all of these years of ignoring her. My dad walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. He told me that we needed to talk in his office, and I knew he wanted to talk to me about Sofia being my mate. I told Sofia that I would be back before following him to my office. I could tell everyone was shocked that she wa
Sofia's Point of View"There you are. I have been looking everywhere for you. What are you doing out here?" Ella asked as she sat beside me on the grass. After seeing Ethan and Jane kissing, I went for a walk. I needed to get away from him. Seeing Ethan and Jane together always made me feel bad. I always wished I was the woman he decided to be with. For some reason, it hurt even more today when she kissed him. I could feel a pain in my chest, and I felt like he had betrayed me by being with her. I know I had no right to feel that way, but I did. I wished I could talk to Ella about my feelings for her brother, but I knew I couldn't. I was sure she would be upset with me if she knew how I felt about him. No one wants their best friend to get with their brother. I was sure she would think I wasn't good enough for him anyway. Hell, I knew I wasn't."I just needed to get away for a moment," I said as I looked at the moon. "Are you okay?" Ella asked worriedly"Yeah," I replied. I could te
Sofia's Point of View"I love you so much, Sof. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. You have no idea how happy I am that you are finally here with me. Now, we can finally be together. I am so happy we can finally be together," Ethan said as he hugged me. We were standing in the woods, and the moon was shining bright. Ethan started moving closer to me, and I knew he was about to kiss my lips, but I moved away. "This is wrong, Ethan. We can never be together. We are from two different worlds. No one would want us together," I said sadly."You are wrong, Sofia. We are meant to be together. I don't care what anyone else thinks. You are mine, and I am yours. I will never let you go," Ethan said, making my heart flutter. We both moved closer to each other so that we could kiss, but then I heard Ella's voice. "Sofia, Sofia, time to wake up,"I opened my eyes and saw Ella standing there in front of me. "Hey," Ella said. I looked at the clock to see it was almost noon. I was shock
Sofia's Point of ViewAfter grabbing my purse and phone, I decided to head to Ella's room, which wasn't that far from mine. I opened the door and was shocked to see Ethan walking back and forth by my room, looking nervous. When he realized I was there, he stopped moving and looked me in the eyes. I couldn't help but stare into his eyes as well. I felt like I was in a trance. I looked into his beautiful blue eyes that I had loved for so long. After a while, I cleared my throat before speaking."Hi, Ethan," I said. I wanted to face palm myself for not coming up with something better to say. "Hey, I was about to knock on your door to see if you were ready to go get your things from your old apartment," Ethan said"Yeah, I am ready. I was about to go and see if Ella was ready," I replied"Good, we can go to her room together," Ethan said"Okay," I replied. Ella's room was on the other side of the hallway. Ethan and I walked in silence for a moment before he spoke."How did you sleep?" Et
Sofia's Point of View"Where is the rest of your stuff?" Ella asked as Ethan and I walked into the living room. "This is it," I replied, and Ella frowned"This is everything you own?" Ella asked "Yes," I replied. Ella stayed silent. "Now that we have everything, we can leave," Ethan said, and he opened the front door. Mr. Prescott, the owner of the apartment complex, was standing at the door. It looked like he was about to knock. "Hello," Ethan said, and Mr. Prescott's eyes went to me. He had a frown on his face. "Is your mother here?" Mr. Prescott asked"No," I replied"I need to speak to her immediately. She is two months behind on the rent, and I know the utilities have been cut off. If she doesn't pay by the end of the day or keep our arrangement, I am going to have no other option but to evict her," Mr. Prescott said. I didn't even want to think of the arrangement he was talking about. Mr. Prescott was an old, dirty man. He was around sixty years old. I always saw him with
Sofia's Point of View"Thanks for carrying that for me," I said to Ethan as we made it up to my room. "It was nothing. I have some work I have to do with my dad right now, but I will meet you here later to take you to dinner so we can have that talk. How does seven sound?" Ethan asked "It sounds good," I replied "Great, I will see you later," Ethan said"See you," I replied, and Ethan walked away.Ethan's Point of ViewI was so upset when we went to Sofia's apartment. I already knew where she lived because I used to follow her when she rode the bus home from school. She would either go to the diner where she worked or to the apartment complex. It was on the poor side of town and in a bad neighborhood. There were prostitutes and drug dealers that stood outside of her apartment building. I hated that she lived there, and I couldn't stand the thought of something happening to her. That was why I would follow her every day after school. I even followed her on the weekends when she had
