"Hey!" I heard Reynard yelling when he spotted me sitting on the edge of the bridge and crying in my hands. I got up the instant I saw him approaching me. He had parked his car a little farther away so that he could look for me.I rushed towards him and landed in his arms. He was wearing a long black overcoat that he took off and wrapped around my body while hugging me tightly.I didn’t raise my face from his chest, and neither did I utter a word to him. I was in a lot of pain, crying, and traumatized."Hey! hey!" As he stroked his hand up and down my back, I sank deeper into his strong and comforting arms. His scent and mild heartbeat were able to soothe my soul."I am here now. Nothing and nobody will harm you," he whispered, tightening his arms around my body.After I stayed in his arms for a few more minutes and calmed down, he walked me to his car. I was in the passenger seat as he drove the car. I was defeatedly just looking at the road while resting my head back and letting sil
"Tell me everything," Lady Greta had sat me down, and after feeding me food and juices, she decided to have a detailed discussion with me.We were in their sunroom. She said I need to go outside the closed walls or I will fall into a depression. Little did she know I was already depressed."My uncle spoke to the council and gave them a report on my character and actions. They decided it is a good idea that I get married to someone who can control me and prevent me from making mistakes or whatever nonsense they think I will do if they don’t clip my wings," I said without displaying any emotions. I was still hurting and just lost who to cry for anymore."That is foolishness. They cannot marry you off to someone unless they get your permission," Reynard said, straightening his back in the seat. I raised my face just to watch him and then immediately looked down because it hurt.I foolishly fell in love with him.Now what? He is in love with Arlene. He has no idea I am not the one he is i
"I am so---rry!" He stepped back in hesitation and rubbed his hands over his face, looking all guilty. I couldn’t even process the whole situation for a moment. "I will grab my stuff." I rushed ahead to the lockers after excusing myself from him and he didn’t stop me either.He said Serena!Was he in love with Serena before or now?If so, then why did he want to be with Arlene?I was lost, feeling clueless, and betrayed. I grabbed whatever I could from the lockers and marched past him in a hurry. He followed me to the car, and soon we hit the road back to his mansion. I had a lot going on in my head, and since he too didn’t utter a word, I couldn’t figure out the truth about them."Oh! You two came back already." I heard Greta call for us from the sunroom. She must have been waiting for us, so we rushed to the room to hear the next part of her plan.Things were a bit awkward between Reynard and me this time. We've also been stealing each other's gaze."So, what to do next?" Reynard as
We had to sit them down in the living room to have a word with them. Mr. Valdman looked very angry and frustrated with me. I knew he was not too fond of me, and now that he had caught me with the alpha king when they were planning my wedding, that had upset him even more."You need to listen to the girl when she says she doesn’t want to get married to that old man," Greta raised her voice as she was done hearing Valdman talk about how inappropriate it was for me to come stay here when my soon-to-be husband was looking everywhere for me.Daxon had been clenching his jaw and probably finding ways he was going to murder me when they took me home."It is about the rules. She is going to marry Charles because he seems to be the only one who can control her." Lady Vivian cleared her throat before she spoke very elegantly. I didn’t like their stiff postures and self-righteous tones."She is not a dog that needs controlling. You treat her well and she will respond nicely," Greta shook her hea
Once at home, that’s when the actual battle started. Uncle Charles hadn’t stopped pacing around while they sat me down in the living room to have a word with me. I could tell they were going to do their best to make me reject Reynard."I can’t believe this. How could he feel a mate bond with her when she doesn’t even have a wolf?" My mother complained, watching Charles pace around in agitation. They didn’t let Serena join the so-called family meeting.I didn’t want her to find out about Reynard through them. I had prepared an entire speech to convince her to let Reynard know the truth after I tell her how her plan of exchanging our lives helped me find a better mate.Daxon was sitting on the couch, puffing hot air out of his nostrils, and constantly grunting. It was so hard sitting here and watching my mom. Her sight disgusted me, and I bet even she noticed it."So she is going to be the Luna Queen now?" my mom commented while tears formed in her eyes. I have never heard of a mother b
I was in shock after being put into my body again without my knowledge. Things didn’t add up anymore. If my sister had planned to return me to my body, she would have told me anything and not made plans to meet me on the rooftop. That’s when I finally jumped out of bed and realized how light and featherlike my body was. There were no scars and bruises on my body, unlike my poor sister’s.I had to simply stand on my feet and think through a little before I walked out of the room to see what the whole commotion even was about.I found the omegas to scatter away as if the show had ended. I couldn’t help but wonder what happened when I watched my mom and uncle go missing while Daxon and my aunt stood outside Arlene’s bedroom.Everybody looked sad as if somebody had died. That’s when my heart skipped a beat."No! That can’t be." I shook my head in fright and bolted in the direction of my sister’s room.Aunt Marrisa and Daxon walked into the room after me to let me be aware of the whole sit
After the doctor told us that Arlene tried ending her life, we were left speechless. Things didn’t add up because I could tell 100% that she didn’t take the poison. I would have known since I was in her body.We had taken her home on a ventilator, but everybody has already lost hope. Or should I say, their plan was working fine? They wanted to get rid of us. At least they took care of one.I watched them all around me, one by one, some genuinely sad, some angry, and some just pretending to be sad. Daxon’s anger was at the news because he had so much planned with her. Uncle Charles was sad because he wanted her for himself, and my mother was just pretending because she didn’t care at all. Aunt Marrisa seemed neutral and genuinely sad, but only to a limit.One of them has to be the one who gave her poison. I just needed to first get out of this pain of watching my sister suffer and then figure out a way to find her culprit and mend everything that has been broken."I don’t believe she d
"What?" Reynard broke out of his frozen state and looked my way to hear me explain myself to him."She is not safe here. Please take her with you." I said this in haste before anybody else walks in on us and hears me beg the alpha king to take away their favorite toy.Reynard was watching my face with an undefined expression."Just take her with you." The moment I said it loudly enough to bring him to reality, my mother barged in and heard me."Is everything alright here, Serena?" My mother asked, secretly watching Reynard’s face."I--," I stuttered, not understanding what to say now because I am certain she has heard me."You want me to take her with me?" Reynard asked, as he needed my permission because she was my twin. Uncle Charles and Daxon walked into the room after my mother and stared at our faces."Nobody is leaving!" Daxon shook his head, his eyes glaring into my soul. I could only tell he was waiting for me to be alone with him so that he could teach me an excellent lesson.
