Ever since I came to Arlene’s room, my mom and my aunt have come to see me many times.They anticipated that I would struggle to adjust to her room.Little did they know I have been sleeping in her room for the past few months.Once they stopped bothering me, I sat in bed and thought of my next plan."This whole - - - - - situation changes a lot of stuff now," I murmured to myself, feeling a little pressure on my chest."I need to find out where the heck Charles came from in our lives." I stroked my chin and then hugged myself tightly as my body ache increased. He was always there in our lives, but who is he?I sighed, frowning as my body twitched a little. Cold sweats starting to form on my temples, and I knew something weird was happening to me."What the heck is happening to me?" Rolling out of bed, I felt a weird pain hurting me deeply."I didn’t even eat anything," I whispered in confusion."Oww!" I grimaced in pain, stumbling upon my steps to reach for the door."Ouch!" I winced
Reynard’s POV:I watched her turn into a beautiful red wolf, a very peculiar kind. It was never a surprise that there was something very special about her. However, I didn’t want to focus on her. There was once upon a time when I wished to be with her, but all those hopes withered away when she married that asshole. I couldn’t blame her, though. She didn’t have a wolf, and we never interacted, but somewhere deep down, it upset me. It wasn’t enough for me to get over her until I started spending time with Arlene and my thoughts changed about her.I remember watching Arlene with Daxon and constantly wondering how one could do that to her sister after knowing all the details from her. I fathomed she was blackmailed into it. The poor girl had faced so much and then our interactions turned different.Her whole vibe changed, and I began to like her. It was still a little weird because my wolf felt the mate bond with Arlene after we became friends. I thought that was it. I got the other sist
Serena’s POV:Last night was spectacular. I ran around like a free person and enjoyed every bit of it. With Reynard keeping an eye on me, I wasn’t afraid of exploring the woods and letting Ena do whatever she wanted to do. And as expected, I woke up in a car and cozied up in a blanket that he had brought with him for me.I was fully dressed. He might have helped me slip into my dress from last night. A little red-tinted my cheeks at the thought of Reynard dressing me up. I opened my eyes completely, and as soon as I raised my gaze, I saw Reynard in the driver’s seat. He was casually sitting there and looking outside the window when I sat up and informed him that I had woken up."Morning!" he greeted, looking at me only through the mirror."Thank you so much for the night," I whispered, fixing my attire and realizing this was only momentarily. Soon I will have to return to that hell called home."No problem. Anything for Arlene!" he said in a weird tone as if he wanted to prove somethi
I have spent a few days in a weird setting. I would sneak out at night to let Ena transition and run freely and sneak back in before anybody woke up. I only called Reynard a few times to talk to him about accompanying me to a faraway village, but he never answered my calls. I haven’t been able to visit his pack to see Arlene because I didn’t want my family to see me caring for her.They need to think everything is still in their power and control.Now that I am finally going to school again, I have planned to speak to Reynard upfront and see how I can convince him to go on a mission."You should have stayed home another few days. Your record has always been spotless. It is just that the marriage brought you a lot of stress," my mom said when watching me leave for school. I have been avoiding home-cooked meals because I knew my mother had been drugging us. I only joined the breakfast to eat some fresh fruits and let them know I will be joining school regularly now."I agree with your m
I have managed to grab the letters that Charles received from the village. He had torn apart the message, but the address was still there.I had a firm belief I was going to find and sell the information I need on him. I sneaked out of the mansion before midnight in a black shirt and black jeans to wait for Reynard. I even recognized his car when it was far away on the road. He picked me up, and soon he hit the road. For the first few minutes, when we were discussing the address and all, we were fine. But then the awkward silence engulfed us. I was sitting in the passenger seat with him, wondering what we should talk about first."So, how is she?" I cleared my throat to start a conversation with him since he was really stubborn when it came to talking to me."Silent!" he answered.I could only imagine how he felt as he watched the girl he was about to marry go completely silent."She will wake up," I said, not sure if I was convincing him or myself."She has to. She has suffered a lot
"So tell me," he insisted, taking slow and steady steps to approach me. We were standing on a trail with only one home in sight on the hill. The sky was filled with clouds, and it was going to rain soon. Whereas I was caught in a lie, now I had to come clean with my truth.With Reynard’s approaching steps, I pushed back and away from him in confusion and fright."Tell me which one is the true Serena? The one I am looking at now, who cares and is open to showing her emotions, or the one who only likes to follow Daxon’s lead." As he stopped in front of me and explained his question better, I understood he had yet to find out there were more shades to Serena than he could ever expect. For instance, Serena, was in contact with him all this time when she was in her sister’s body."Oh!" I looked down to take a deep breath."Maybe you are looking at the one version who just woke up after a long slumber---," I answered him, and then after a brief pause, I added, "And she is here to stay."

Years Ago: Author’s POV: "I heard you stole your pack?" Adra was walking down the empty street and complaining about the issue to her boyfriend. "I did. It is not like there was anything left in that pack anyway," Charles answered, walking out of the house to make sure his mate was not listening when he was talking to Adra. "Charles! You were supposed to make me your Luna. But not only did you accept that useless mate of yours, but you have also now sold the pack, too. This is not the kind of life I wanted. I have become nothing but just a sidepiece," she complained as she sat down on a bench to give rest to her ankles, which were hurting from her overuse of high heels. "Adra! My love! I have a vision of a faraway plan. You just need to stop questioning me and listen to me more." Charles pulled the lighter out of his pocket as he lit up the cigarette and puffed the smoke into the air. "I want to see you right now. Tell me, where are you?" Adra insisted after realizing she wanted
Author’s POV:Years Ago:'Mate' She heard it again.The two spoke for hours after finding out they were mates. Adra needed a shoulder and got an alpha mate instead. Phillip seemed different from Charles; he was considerate and gentle with her. He talked about accepting her and making her Luna right away.Phillip took her to his mansion after she expressed her desire to see it, and soon things heated between them. In no time, they were in Phillip’s bed and having sex.Adra was not a virgin, but Phillip was. He had kept himself for his mate. However, Adra lost her virginity to Charles when they turned 18. It didn’t bother Phillip. He didn’t care if there was anyone else before him; he was happy to find her now and promised to be the better one for her.With every thrust inside her, he felt her scratch her nails into his back and squirm. His hands traveled around her beautiful body, exploring parts that made her bite her lip and close her eyes. His lips cradled her nipples until they ca
