After Aunt Marissa’s statement, everybody was slightly uncomfortable talking about Arlene in the sense that they didn’t want to feel bad for her."Whatever Marissa said indicates Arlene was a horrible person. But we will continue the trial only if Serena can prove to us that she didn’t have a reason to end her life. However, soon after Arlene wakes up, there will be a trial held against her for the ra*** accusations," Lady Vivian looked so excited now that the fingers were getting pointed in the direction of Arlene.Daxon seemed at a loss for words, so I had no clue what he was thinking at the moment. However, they gave us a few minute's break, and I rushed out of the crowd to the open road to breathing some fresh air.‘Why the hell did Aunt Marissa say all that?’ I was yelling inside me, sharing my concern with Ena.‘I don’t know why she isn’t on the suspect list. And if she isn’t already, she should be now,’ Ena argued, making me realize it made sense.‘You are right! She had every
Everybody looked shocked when I read the whole entry from the diary where Arlene talked about how grateful she would be to marry Reynard."You see! There is no way she would end her life after finally having everything she had ever wanted," I stated loudly, and I watched the councilors share a glance and nod in response to my words. Reynard was staring at my face with a mixture of emotions."Who would end their life after finding the world?" I raised a question, watching everyone agree with me. My mother had buried her face in her hands while Daxon was clenching and wheezing."This new revelation changes everything," Vivian straightened her posture in the seat and claimed, "we will hear from the alpha king before taking a break until the next date."Reynard closed his eyes and took a deep breath, escaping the eyes that were held on his face."With everyone coming out and the family focusing on dismissing the case, I don’t think anyone is any less of a suspect. The main suspects would
After Daxon started a whole new rumor, my mother and I went to Arlene’s room, where I have been staying now until the entire case gets resolved."See what you did. That’s why I wanted you to first come and speak to me," My mom tried to make a point after Daxon accused us."It doesn’t matter. He would have done it anyway when I reopened the case. It is not like you could have saved us from these accusations. And they are not bothering me too much. I know I didn’t do anything, so I am not worried," I shook my head while panicking back and forth."It doesn’t look like you are not bothered," mom scoffed, "we could have avoided it by not reopening the case. It is pretty evident that Arlene did this to herself; why don’t you just accept it and move on with your life?" Mom’s inability to even pretend that she cared about her daughter or wanted to find out the truth about her didn’t surprise me anymore.After hearing all the dirty things she did to Arlene and even letting Charles do to her, I
Having dinner with family didn’t seem like a good idea any time now. I was done pretending like everything was fine. I did my dinner in my room and then lied down to rest. The night was going to be heavy for me. I knew because I had to wake up fresh and meet Reynard, answer his burning questions.I was only able to doze off for a few minutes before a hard knock on my bedroom door woke me up. I was still sleeping in Arlene’s room to avoid Daxon and also be closer to her memories."Who could it be at this time?" I frowned, getting up from the bed and wearing a pink silk robe over my pink nighty.As I answered the door and watched Daxon stand there for me, I realized I should have pretended to be asleep."Daxon!" I mumbled, stepping aside when he invited himself into the room."I guess I woke you up," he stated, while rubbing his hands together."What do you want at this time of night, Daxon?" I asked with a tired expression on my face."Can’t I come over to see my wife for even a few s
"Where are you headed?" My mother’s commanding voice surprised me. I thought we were on the same side, but the way she stopped me right when I was leaving the mansion made me think she wasn’t too happy with me anymore."I am going to see Arlene," I said, trying to look confident and not show any reaction to her being the prime suspect."Why?" Mom asked, looking suspicious of me for some reason."Mom! Is there a problem with me wanting to meet my sister?" I didn’t hesitate to raise my voice just a little bit when her numerous questions irked me."Since when did you start loving her so much? Do you not remember what she had done to your husband on the night before your wedding with him? Do her actions not bother you in the least?" She raised her brow, using her high-pitched voice and harsh tone with me."That night was a lie," I stated with confidence, and once again, she looked surprised."What do you mean by that?" she asked, "We all remember that night happening.""Yeah, but the trut
"Drink some water," I offered her some water after she woke up from another pass-out.It ended in such a horrible manner. She woke up and heard Reynard basically confess his feelings for her, and then she passed out again.Reynard didn’t mean to confess his feelings for her. In fact, he wanted to say he loved Serena all along, but here it was—my sister got it all wrong.However, I pushed everything to the back of my mind and focused on her recovery. I was extremely happy to see her awake now. "Are you feeling fine now?" I asked her, holding her hand tightly, to keep smiling. Lady Greta asked the nurse to walk her out so that we sisters could spend time together. After watching her leave, Reynard also stepped ahead, but Arlene stopped him."I want to speak to both of you," she murmured, making him stay. Reynard passed me a quick glance before nodding and standing in the corner. I am sure he was happy that she was fine now, but his worries were as deep as mine."I heard what you two sa
As soon as I got home and saw Charles in the living room, I prepared myself to execute a plan."Uncle Charles!" I approached him briskly with a bright smile drawn over my lips. To see me this happy must have raised alarm bells in his head. After my sister went into a coma and I had been busy with the trial, I seemed to have forgotten to smile. But I was smiling today, and he noticed it."My child looks so happy today. Any good news on the trial?" he asked while approaching me."There is even a bigger news," I whispered, giggling uncomfortably."What is going on? You look way too cheery for me to take a guess," he said, looking a little confused, but that was because he had skeletons in his closet as well. He was afraid of when one of his secrets would be revealed."Arlene woke up," I whispered and watched his eyes grow bright, "but don’t tell anyone yet," I instantly placed my finger on my lips and eyed him, telling him not to announce the news to the world yet."Wait, she is awake an
I returned to my room with a lot of courage in my heart and good hopes for the next few hours. And I had a feeling Charles would do something to take revenge on my mother for pulling Arlene away from him. I saw him fuming as I was walking away. That could be a very good thing.Now all I had to do was convince my mother to propose to him tonight. It will be even more effective if she talks to him when he is angry.I waited in my room for a few minutes before Ena decided to bring attention to something else.‘What do you think will Daxon do when he will find out Arlene has woken up? So far, he has been really enjoying all the sympathies after Marissa accused Arlene of ra***** him. Do you think he will let her come forward and defend herself or expose him?’ She asked, and I bit my bottom lip in worry.‘He is the major problem, I know. There is no way he would sit silently. He also gave us 10 days; I am not sure what he will do after finding out Arlene is also back. We need to understand
Last Chapter:"I, Alpha King Reynard, accept Serena Majestic as my mate and wife," Reynard smiled, holding my hands."I, Serena Majestic, accept you as my mate," I giggled, barely able to look him in the eyes because I was blushing so hard."I, Alpha Kai, accept Arlene as my mate," Kai said, looking happier than he had ever been."I, Arlene Majestic, accept you as my mate," Arlene said, and she instantly started making out with him. Everybody giggled, and soon we were asked to mark each other. Reynard pulled me closer and gently tucked my hair to the side, burying his face in my neck. I felt his tongue moisten the area before he dug his teeth into my skin. He pulled back, and I aimed for his neck. But every time I reached for him, he would pull away, and everybody would start laughing."You don’t want me to mark you in bed, do you?" I teased, "I will be rough," I mimicked a tougher tone, and he smiled.I finally buried my face in his neck and sucked his skin before piercing my teeth t
"Say it again," she demanded, facing me."I love him, Arlene. He is my mate," I repeated myself, hoping she would not disappoint me. Reynard stepped away from her and then smiled."Then go for it," Arlene stepped back and smiled as well, making me wonder what was going on."What is going on?" I asked in a whisper.Reynard was watching my face with such a huge smile and satisfaction, while Arlene didn’t look upset either."I don’t get it," I wiped my tears clean, as I could tell they planned this."You stupid Serena! You thought I would steal your mate from you after you gave me my whole life back?" She let out a laugh while tearing up."What?" I gasped."He is not my mate, you idiot," she started laughing when rushing over and hugging me."But you said---" I was still at a loss for words.She was hugging me and jumping up and down. Reynard gently touched his ears and mouthed an apology."I still don’t know what is going on. I need someone to explain this madness to me," I shook my hea
"Congratulations,"A councilor shook hands with Arlene as he headed to the food court. She looked like a true princess in that blue gown, wearing the alpha crown on her head. It’s been a week since that trial of Daxon, and we have all come to the conclusion that Arlene will be a better fit as the alpha of this pack.She was truly shocked in the beginning and hesitant too, but I told her I had faith in her. I knew if anyone could take care of this pack, it had to be her. She had faced a lot; she will not shy away from helping out her pack."I am so hungry," Arlene complained as she rubbed her hand over her stomach and kept looking at everyone eating their food.The coronation had reached the point where everyone was just eating dinner now. Arlene had to stand and watch everyone, but I think everyone had already met her, so she could relax now."Let’s go take a seat with them," I said, and she excitedly clapped her hands. The red gown I was wearing was what Reynard had selected for me.
The gunshot deafened us and silenced the others. Everybody stopped on their feet and stared at the mess my mother had created one last time.The guards knocked her down and handcuffed her behind her back while she screamed and cried. Vivian was still in shock because she knew the bullet would have hit her, but Arlene pushed her aside and saved her life.It was all happening so fast that I lost myself for a moment."Oh, my God!" Vivian gasped as she hugged herself. Valdman rushed down to check up on her before he glared at my mother."I should have aborted you two," my mom was screaming and crying, "You two are the reason my life is ruined," her yelling was so bad that many young mothers had covered their ears. "Take that bitch away and give her hell," he shouted angrily. Reynard had rushed to our side to see if I was doing fine while Kai had sneaked up beside Arlene."She saved my life," Vivian said, freeing herself from everyone’s grasp, who were checking on her to address what Arle
"Eh!" The first thing I heard was Daxon groan and move in the bed when his alarm rang like crazy.He was probably still very drowsy but was in the process of waking up.I was lying beside him under the blanket with no clothes on. After meeting up with Reynard and Arlene, we discussed the plan, and Reynard was a little upset that I didn’t include him before taking such a huge step.I understand he was worried that if Daxon had refused to drink, I’d have landed in trouble. But after calming him down and putting Arlene to bed because she was exhausted, we made out and then made the whole plane for the next day.Just before his alarm rang, I had slipped in bed with Daxon to make it look like we slept together after doing it."Ahhh!" Daxon groaned again and shifted his side to face me. I instantly shut my eyes tight and made it seem like I was still asleep. I noticed a little freeze in his body movement before I heard him grunt out a complaint."What the fuck!" he groaned, "I slept with he
"Fine, I accept your apology," he said as he finally stopped laughing and put his phone in his pocket."Why did you do all that?" I asked while sitting on my knees."Did what?" he asked, dragging a chair to place it before me and sitting down, acting like the fucking Alpha King that he will never be."Why did you force my sister?" I asked him, watching him smirk at the memory of it. Such a disgusting man."Because it was fun," he shrugged."I honestly don’t remember any other reason. Yeah! It is true that I wanted her to be my mate because she could make a better bitch, but then I got over her. Aren’t you happy that I am over her for you? I like you more. You should be thankful for me and not make these ugly faces," he said, shaking his foot while talking nonchalantly."Where does this stop?" I asked with teary eyes."Get over this whole Arlene and make her life a better thing. Sleep with me, and it will be over," he shrugged, as if that was all that was needed to be done."That’s it?
"Oh!" I blushed hard this time, thinking how weird it is that even I saw it, then how did Arlene not see it? That’s when another horror struck me. If it was that obvious, then Daxon must have noticed it too. Is that why he was hurrying up for the wedding?"Where did you get lost?" Kai asked."I am here. Actually, it is not about their wedding," I said while checking the door to make sure Daxon was not around."Oh, thank goodness—I mean, okay, then what is it?" Kai must have bitten his tongue, because I heard him let out a little yelp before talking again."She got her wolf," I said, with a bright smile covering my lips."What? really? Oh my goodness! That’s such good news," he started getting excited, making me realize how perfect he was for Arlene."But we are not telling anyone yet," I made sure he understood me, or else we will get into a huge mess."Oh okay! I get it," he nodded to himself as he promised not to tell anyone. We talked about the whole incident in school once again i
"I can’t believe I am finally having my wolf," Arlene had been pretty excited all this time. But we knew we had to take her to the woods for her first transformation. I just couldn’t define in words how happy this news made me. For her to finally get here wolf and also be this close to getting justice from almost everyone was just amazing. Reynard had been driving like crazy to reach the woods while Arlene was constantly babbling in the backseat of the car with her hands constantly rubbing her elbows as the pain kept intensifying."Argh!" she let out a little complaint, and then I heard a crack."Umm! Reynard!" I called for him while rubbing her back, "I heard a crack," I said in a terrified tone. The issue was that her wolf was waking for the first time after being tormented a lot. We had a feeling that if she transitioned with people around her, she would go crazy and probably hurt someone.So we must take her to the woods and let her transform alone in peace."We are almost there,"
Max looked irritated at my arrival because he wanted Arlene to be left alone. He must have gotten the instructions from Daxon and knew already that I would defend Arlene."Walk away, Serena!" Max voiced, making sure they didn’t break the circle and keep Arlene trapped."And why would I do that?" I asked, taking steps to reach them. The others shared a glance and smirked, probably wanting to bully me as well."And why not? This isn’t the sister you would want to protect. Did you forget how she used to make your life a living hell?" Max tried his best to pin me against her, but I have lived her life, so I am aware of everything.I noticed Arlene standing up and rushing to the corner, looking angry and probably frustrated with herself for not having a wolf."She is not the one at fault," I said, "My sister is innocent. Whoever told you all these stories is the real culprit," I was not shying away from defending her anymore."Oh, come on, don’t believe anything she tells you," he rolled h
