“I had forgotten that we currently have another Mrs. Vinters,” Cole muttered, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I thought you were my mother for a second.”

Raising the mug to my lips, I took a sip of the tea Cole had offered me. As soon as I asked if I could come in, Cole pushed me in, while Tedros had his eye on me the whole time I spoke to his brother.

I was already used to requesting tea or coffee if the person I visited tried to offer something. I wasn’t surprised when he claimed to have mistaken me for his mother; after all, my marriage with his brother was a flash marriage.

“I understand,” I responded, my lips curling into a smile.

Cole returned the smile before finally sitting down. I was in the middle of the brothers again, and my eyes darted to Tedros. He was reading a magazine, but I was sure that if I asked him what he was reading, he wouldn't be able to tell me a thing.

“What brought you here, sister-in-law?” Cole asked.

Turning my gaze to him, I murmured. “Just

    ELODIE It was more said than done. After driving off from Vinter’s Company Limited, I drove straight home to get ready for the plans to get Tedros to fall in love with me. However, it was harder than I thought.The internet was the first place I turned to, and I managed to gather some ideas on the topic. The ideas I gathered were quite useful; at least they looked useful to me. The ideas on the list were:Buy him a gift, compliment him, do his favorite activity, flirt with him, befriend your partner, dress up for him, find common interests, plan a date, show your love, and most importantly, be yourself.There were more ideas, but the ones I wrote down were the ones I was sure that I was able to do. All I had to do was follow the list until he fell in love with me. I spent time writing in my journal and planning for the next day, and by the time I was done writing everything, it was already 9 p.m. Tedros wasn’t home yet. Rising to my feet, I headed for the window and closed all th

    TEDROSPacing back and forth, I waited for the doctor to come out and tell me about Ducky’s condition. She hadn’t said a word to me since I found her sitting on the floor with the front door wide open. I had taken her to the hospital because of how terrified she looked. The terrified look she had on her face was still fresh in my memory. I couldn't think of what she had seen that made her so terrified that she backed away from me earlier. My thoughts were running wild. Had anyone visited while I was away?Finally, after a long time of waiting, the door finally opened, and I turned my head to look at the doctor. “How is she doing?” I questioned her, walking over to her. “Has she said a word to you?” I recognized the doctor from the last time I came to the hospital, and I also knew how close she was to Ducky. It was more like an aunt-and-niece relationship. She also possessed the aura of an Alpha; it wasn’t hard to notice, but it wasn’t intimidating because I was a fellow Alpha.Alp

    ELODIEIgnoring the question he asked, I could only focus on the name he had called me. Had he just added Vinters to my name? Does that mean he has finally acknowledged me as his wife?Waving my head, I brushed off the thoughts. Definitely not.“Who visited while I was away?” He asked with a serious look on his face.I averted my eyes, avoiding his gaze. How could I tell him about what I saw? I don’t even know what I saw. It was more like a hallucination, but the mark on my neck was proof that what I saw was real.Was that a reciprocal of Tedros, or was it him? I thought about it hard, but I couldn’t think of anything. I had heard the sound of his footsteps approaching while he choked me. No, while the reciprocal strangled me.There was no way that it was him. And I can't tell him that he was the one who made me like that. I am not even sure it was him. “It was my ex.” I lied before I could stop myself. That was the only excuse I could come up with. “You have an ex?” He asked, sound

    ELODIE “Have you eaten dinner?” I questioned. “No.” He laid me on the couch and slipped out of his suit jacket. Placing the jacket over my body, he loosened his tie. We were in the little house I made in my large house. The first place in my home that he had coffee with me. The scent of his jacket hit my nostrils, and I slowly pulled it up to sniff it. He smelled of a heady mix of musk, woodsmoke, and the forest after rain. It was as though the very essence of nature had taken human form—intoxicating and irresistible.I rubbed the jacket on my cheek, a smile tugging on my lips as I kept on inhaling. “You seem to like my jacket very much,” Tedros said. Noticing that I had been doing that in front of him, I almost jumped off the sofa. “No!” I denied. “I was only sniffing to see what perfume you used.” “I don't wear perfume.” Oh, yes, he doesn't.“I don't know about that,” I muttered, lying. “You do.” He arched his brows, turning around. “You didn't give me perfume when you b

    ELODIETedros' eyes widened immediately, and the words left my lips. He pulled back his hand as fast as he could, moving them to his side. He left them there.“What?” He questioned, a frown appearing on his face. “What the hell are you talking about, Ducky?”I had anticipated that response, so I was prepared for it. “I know what I am talking about,” I replied, taking a step closer to him while he hastily took a step back. “We have to make consummate remember?”Before I could blink, he had already moved so fast that he was halfway towards the door. My face fell. Was he that hesitant to sleep with me? But there was no way I was letting him get away so easily.I then remembered the pills; I should have given them to him. Digging my hand into my skirt pocket, I pulled out the pills and tossed them into the glass of milk he had already made. I just needed time for them to dissolve and make him drink it. “Forget I said that,” I called out, making him halt. “Aren’t we going to have dinner

    ELODIEHis jaw dropped and closed, and then he gulped. The sides of his ears turned bright crimson. He averted his eyes, hesitation flashing on his face.“Ducky—”I repeated my question; I wouldn’t let him leave without answering that.“I haven’t thought about it.” He responded.“Then think about it,” I said, leaning in so my lips would be close to his. “Can I get an honest answer now?”“One time.” He mumbled.Arching my brows at him, I questioned. “One time?”“Yeah.”“When?”“I thought about what you looked like without clothes once,” he admitted. “It’s not such a big deal. After all, you were different then.”“I was different.” I teased.

    TEDROS“Think about it. I will go up now; you can come over to my room if you are ready.” She dashed away before I could respond.Damn it.I could tell that she was going to prepare whatever she wanted in the room. It had been three years since I had a woman, and she was making it seem so easy, but it wasn’t.She had given me an option, and I was allowed to choose if I wanted it or not, but I don’t think she was expecting a no. She was probably in her room, making arrangements for how the room was going to look.My thoughts were all messed up, and I was still worried about what happened to her earlier, even though she had brushed it off.Doing anything to keep myself busy, I picked up the plates and placed them in the sink. I washed them and then proceeded to check if the doors were locked. Glancing around, I tried to find something else to do.

    TEDROSWhat was I doing? I couldn’t tell, but all I knew at that moment was that I wanted to kiss her. She had initiated the kiss; that was permission for me to go on. Her tongue slipped into my mouth, hesitant yet demanding. She pushed me back against the bed, her hand still wrapped around my neck and at the same time pressing against me. Although I had kissed her back, I still had that hesitation to deepen the kiss. That intoxicating scent that I had felt earlier filled me again. After the kiss at the church, I still had the feeling of her kiss against my lips, and I wanted to feel it again.Now I already have the chance to have another taste of her.She raised her head, peeling her lips from mine. Her hand slid off her neck, and she peered down at me; her eyes were dark with arousal. Her lips parted, making me throb even harder.Unbuttoning two buttons on my shirt, she slid her hand into it and ran my hand through it. Suddenly, the reason why I came into her room in the first pla

    ELODIEGlancing at Tedros, I could see he was curious about that. Why had I mentioned it in the first place? Now, I have to talk about it.I was pissed that he had ignored my texts and calls; however, there was still a sense of relief in me. I was glad his look-alike hadn’t shown up when I was alone in the elevator.Also, I was yet to learn what was wrong with me.“I have been counting all the girls you dated,” I answered. “It doesn’t matter; you’ve heard my final answer, and since you weren’t with your phone, I’ll let it slide.”I rose to my feet and headed for the bathroom. “I’ll go shower,” I said but paused halfway. “There are no clothes to change into if I shower.”“You can wear my jacket. It has buttons,” he suggested. “You’re short, so it’ll probably stop at your knees or mid-thigh.”I glared at him for calling me short. “Alright. It would be best if you took off the jacket now. I have to go.”“Alright.”Tedros took off his jacket, and I took it from him before heading for the

    TEDROSLeaning my back against the wall next to the elevator, I sighed. Ducky was probably asleep by now. She must have thought about it like I asked her to.Her words couldn’t stop ringing in my head.“It’s because I love you, dumbass!”Dang it.How could that be possible?To be honest, Ducky and I were nothing alike. She got good grades in school, became the top student in all her classes, won all sorts of competitions, and even became the school president.She always shines bright everywhere she goes. She’s a role model for several students. Why the heck did she notice me of all people? An average student who barely passes his math exams.Come to think of it, our paths were nothing alike. She was on the academic path and super intelligent, while I, on the other hand, was on the sports path.I did quite well in sports and won tons of awards too.I had always thought she would go for a more academic guy and not someone like me who couldn’t solve quizzes with her or enjoy the same boo

    ELODIETedros' eyes were wide in disbelief as he stared at me. I had just laid out my feelings for him, yet all he could do was look at me like I had said something shocking.“I’m telling the truth,” I insisted. “I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember, but you’ve never seen me as anything more than a friend! Even now, we’re married, yet you still treat me as just a friend.”Tedros shook his head, trying to snap out of it. “Are you serious?”“Believe me or not, I don’t care. But I’m not going to let you kill yourself!” I growled.He slowly raised his hand, placing it on mine, which was gripping his collar, and gently pulled it down. “I think you’re confused, Ducky,” he murmured. “Why on earth would you love a man like me? You could love anyone in the world, yet you chose me.”As I opened my mouth to respond, he placed a finger on my lips to silence me. His expression was unreadable.“Think it through carefully. Consider what you really want. Do you want to keep me alive, or do y

    ELODIETedros's gaze held mine, a serious look on his face. Had he just asked if I was seeing something no one else could? How could he have traced it back to two months ago?“Am I wrong?” he asked. “What is it that you’ve been keeping from me for the past months?” He paused. “It was the same when you came here, too, right? The vase cut on your forehead wasn’t you, was it? It was them. Isn’t that right?”He knew. He already knew. There was no need to hide it anymore.“That’s right,” I replied. “I can see what other people can’t.”His eyes widened for a second, then slowly turned into a frown.“What do you see?” he asked. “Why don’t you fight back when you see it? Why do you keep letting it hurt you?!”“Because I can’t fight back.”“Why is that?!” he demanded.“It’s way too strong for me!” I answered. “It’s way too strong for me.”“Did you try?” he asked.The question made me pause. Come to think of it, I hadn’t tried fighting the look-alike whenever he appeared.The first time he grab

    ELODIEWas she just my imagination? But the ice cream was so real—I could see it. I held up the ice cream for Tedros to see.“Are you seeing the ice cream in my hand?” I questioned. “You can see it, right?”His eyes trailed to my hand, and for a second, my heart skipped a beat. If he didn’t see the ice cream, how many other things had I been imagining?Fear ripped through me. What the heck was wrong with me? I had seen that girl, listened to her, spoken to her, and even touched her. There was no way I could have imagined her.“Yes. I can see it,” Tedros confirmed. “You’re holding the same ice cream I bought you, except I never asked a kid to give it to you.”I felt the blood drain from my face.“Did you see the little girl when you got to the car?” I asked.He shook his head. “Nope.”No?“She was standing next to the window,” I mumbled. “In a pink dress with two braided ponytails?”He shook his head again.“How could you not see her?” I asked, my voice trembling.The cup of ice cream

    ELODIEThe culprit had been caught, yet I couldn’t bring myself to ask who it was. The guilt of finding my mate and being married was eating me up. I hadn’t thought much about it, but was I going to have to reject one of them? I shook my head to snap out of it. I was good at hiding my emotions, and I wasn’t going to let them show.“Who was the culprit?” I asked.Even though the culprit was behind the rogue attack, I had been the one to run on the broken glass and jump out the window like that. His look-alike was the one who made me get injured. There was no way I could tell him that, though. I’d let him believe it was the rogue who got me into that condition.Besides, one rogue broke my head and made the glass pierce even deeper.“Are you alright?” Tedros asked.I looked away. “I’m fine. My injuries have healed on their own.” I turned back to him. “Don’t you think I’ve needed medical attention too much? I must be worrying everyone.”He reached out to stroke my head. “We might be worri

    TEDROSWalking out of the cell with Jeremy and Mom, I rubbed my temples. That was stressful. I hadn’t gotten enough sleep for days, and dealing with that made my head throb.I wondered how Ducky was doing. Has she woken up yet? I wanted her to wake up, but I wanted her to wake up with me there.“I always knew she was trouble,” Mom said. “She had always been troubled since she was a little girl. Thank goodness she never ended up as my daughter-in-law.”Jeremy groaned. “That’s right. I disliked her too.”I had banished her from the pack, but I still needed to consult the elder of the wolf clan and bring the situation to them. Although Ducky could give her the punishment she wants, another pack could take in Jessica.All I wanted to propose to the elders was to make sure that Jessica never gets into another pack. If that happened, she was still going to be able to come close to Ducky, which I don’t want.“I will have to get an appointment with the elders,” I told Mom and Jeremy. “I will

    TEDROS“What the hell?” Jeremy questioned. “The rogue is your mate and happened to be the leader of the rogue attack?! Does that mean you asked her to attack our pack?” he growled.I could sense the anger in his voice as he growled. They had told me nothing about Mira being the person who had led the other rogues to our pack.Jessica said nothing but took the antidote from her mate and gulped down all of the contents.She held her neck and began coughing vigorously. It took several seconds for her to stop coughing.Jeremy wasted no time; he grabbed her, lifted her by the collar, and slammed her against the cell.“Did you ask your mate to attack this pack?” Jeremy demanded. “I heard two rogues broke into the house to find the Luna. They wouldn't have gone there if no one from the pack hadn't told them.”Jessica held Jeremy's hand and tried to stop him from holding her up.“It isn't a coincidence that you had a fight with her the day before and got embarrassed instead,” Jeremy continued

    TEDROSMy gaze turned to Jessica, who looked stunned for a moment before tears began rolling down her cheeks.“I think someone is trying to frame me,” Jessica cried. “Why would a rogue that attacked my pack claim to know me when I don’t even know her? She’s been lying all along, and now she’s trying to lie again.”Jessica looked like she was telling the truth, but there was no way I was going to buy her words.“Do you know her?” I asked the rogue.“Yes,” the rogue confirmed. “We’ve spoken to each other tons of times. She knows me too, but she’s pretending not to.”The whole situation was confusing. Jessica claimed she didn’t know the wolf and the she-wolf said she knew Jessica well.I had no idea who to believe—Jessica, whom I knew, or the rogue who was staring at Jessica with a determined look on her face. I could tell something was going on between them that Jessica didn’t want to talk about.“Stop lying!” Jessica snarled. “Just shut the fuck up and stop lying about me.”I stared at
