A Shadow in the Mirror

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-19 17:27:28
Lily sat on the edge of her bed, her hands clenched in frustration. The argument with Lucas and Liam replayed in her mind, each word cutting deeper than the last.

She felt betrayed—not just by Alex’s threats but by the two people who were supposed to be on her side. They had chosen caution over her autonomy, letting fear of Alex dictate their actions.

Her room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting long shadows across the walls.

With a heavy sigh, she stood and moved to her vanity. She picked up her brush and began running it through her long hair, the repetitive motion offering a small sense of calm.

The silence in the room was thick, broken only by the soft sound of the brush against her hair.

Lily stared at her reflection, her mind a storm of thoughts. She was so lost in them that she almost missed it—a flicker of movement behind her.

Her heart jumped, and she froze. Slowly, her eyes shifted to the mirror, and there it was again—a shadow, faint but unmistakab

    The morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows of Silvermoon High as students bustled through the hallways, their chatter and laughter filling the air. Yet, amidst the usual hustle, an air of tension followed Lily like a dark cloud. She clutched her books tightly to her chest, her lips pressed into a thin line. Walking on either side of her, Lucas and Liam, her new bodyguards, scanned the hallway with sharp eyes, their presence intimidating enough to part the crowd like the sea. Lily could feel their overprotective energy radiating like heat, and it only served to stoke her simmering frustration. "You know you two do not need to follow me everywhere I go" Lily said, trying her best to control her anger that was threatening to make her explode.Lucas and Liam had insisted on being with her all morning. Even when she had gone to take her bath, they made sure to stand closely by her door and monitor what was happening inside.A big part of her wished she had not told them abou

  • Fated To The Alpha Twins    Lexa's Return

    The hallway buzzed with murmurs and stolen glances as Lexa walked past, her every step deliberate, her head held high like a queen returning to her throne. She seemed completely unaffected by the whispers and the shocked stares. Her lips curled into a faint smile, the kind that made it clear she was fully aware of the spectacle she was creating. Lily stood frozen, her hand clutching Maya’s arm tightly. Her mind raced with questions she couldn’t answer. "Okay, is it just me or does Lexa look like she's a whole different person?" Lily asked, her voice showing her shock at what she had just seen."I'm just as dumbfounded as you" Maya replied. "I can't believe she could muster up courage to set foot in the same place as where she had waged war with the Alpha twins."" She didn't exactly wage war on Lucas and Liam. She just came after me and tried to kill Mr several times " Lily replied." Trying to kill you is also waging war against Lucas and Liam. You're their mate and anyone who is a

    Several Days Earlier Blood pooled around Lexa’s trembling body as she lay on the cold gym floor, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. She could feel her life slowly draining from her body but there was nothing she could to stop herself from gradually getting closer to crossing into the other side. Every muscle screamed in pain, but it was nothing compared to the rage boiling inside her. She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. "How could I let her defeat me?" That question lingered in her mind as she fought to keep being conscious instead of falling asleep and let death take over.The image of Lily standing over her, triumphant, played over and over in her mind like a broken record. Her worst nightmare had unfolded before her very eyes and she couldn't stand the fact that such a thing had happened to her.It was humiliating. Lexa’s eyes burned with fury as she struggled to move, to rise and chase after Lily. She wanted to catch up to her and demand

    Lexa’s steps were cautious as she crossed the grand dining room. She was aware of Lucian watching her as she regarded him with a feeling of caution, telling herself she couldn't completely trust this man."Instead of standing there, you're welcome to sit" Lucian said, his hand stretched and pointed to a seat. Lexa nodded her head with a bit more obedience than she would have wished to show.Her eyes flicked to every detail—the golden trim of the walls, the intricate patterns on the rug, and the heavy crystal chandelier hanging above the long mahogany table. It felt like stepping into the lair of someone powerful, and Lexa hated the idea of being out of control. She could feel his eyes following as she contemplated choosing which chair would be safe for her to take."You can sit anywhere" Lucian said, his cool voice bouncing off the walls of his exquisite dining room. "Trust me, I don't bite." Lucian’s calm, confident gaze followed her as she approached the table. She took the chair

    Present DayLexa finished her story with a sharp exhale, leaning back in her chair, her arms crossed over her chest. Her amber eyes flickered to each of them, gauging their reactions. Lily’s brow was furrowed in suspicion, her lips pressed into a thin line. Maya sat beside her, nervously twisting a strand of hair around her finger, while Lucas and Liam exchanged thoughtful glances. “So,” Lexa said, breaking the silence, “that’s the truth. Take it or leave it.” Lily let out a small laugh that echoed through the room. Everyone turned their attention to her but she couldn't care less what they all throught.To her, Lexa's story had been nothing but made up and completely designed to get their sympathy and answer questions lingering in their mind with lies."What a touching story, don't you think guys?" Lily looked at Lucas, Liam and Maya before turning her gaze back to Lexa who crossed her arms and watched Lily in silence. "I mean, you almost had me fooled with your stupid made up lies

    The door clicked shut behind everyone, leaving Lexa alone with Alex in the dimly lit room. His presence dominated the space, his green eyes like molten fire fixed on her, his lips curling into a menacing smirk. “Lexa,” Alex said, his voice low but dangerous, “you’ve been very busy, haven’t you? I heard everything you told Lily and the Alpha twins, and I have to say, it all sounds like a lie to me too.” Lexa rolled her eyes, not giving Alex the satisfaction to see that she was scared of him and how dangerous he has become."Well, thank you for those kind words, but nobody really asked for your opinion so I don't care what you think" Lexa moved closer to him, her stance showing her strength. "Why don't you go back to the hole you crawled out from."Alex wasn't the least bit intimidated by Lexa's words but he was stunned by how unfazed she seemed with the entire situation."I can't, not right now. I'm relaxing from listening to different conversations all day" Alex said in mockery. Lex

    The towering double doors of Lucian’s mansion creaked open, revealing a vast foyer bathed in the warm glow of crystal chandeliers. The floor gleamed with marble so polished it reflected the grand staircase moving upward. The group stepped inside, their footsteps muffled by a deep crimson carpet that stretched across the expansive space. Lily and Maya exchanged impressed glances. “Wow,” Maya said, taking in the gilded mirrors and intricate tapestries adorning the walls. “This is... something else.” Lily couldn't help but agree. The mansion was a beauty, the decor enchanting and it's alluring beauty had a way of drawing its occupants in without having to put in too much effort. Lily nodded, her gaze lingering on a sparkling chandelier overhead. “It’s gorgeous" Lily said, momentarily forgetting the suspicions she had harbored when they were on their way to the mansion. Lucas scoffed, putting his hands into his pockets as he regarded Lily and Maya with a nonchalant look.Although

    Lucian led the group down a long, dimly lit corridor lined with bookshelves that stretched up to a high ceiling. Each shelf was filled with ancient tomes, their spines cracked and faded, some bearing runes that glowed faintly in the dim light.The air was heavy with the scent of aged walls and polished wood, and the atmosphere hummed with a sense of reverence.“Is this your personal library?” Lily asked, her voice low as if she feared disturbing the quiet majesty of the space.Lucian glanced back, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Part of it. My study is just ahead.”“Part of it?” Maya echoed, her eyes wide. “You could open a museum with this.”Lucas and Liam exchanged skeptical glances, clearly unimpressed. “Books are fine, I guess,” Lucas muttered, “but they’re not going to stop Alex.”Lucian ignored the comment and pushed open a set of heavy oak doors, revealing a room even grander than the corridor. The study was expansive, its centerpiece a massive, circular oak table polish

    The late afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the neighborhood as Lily made her way to Maya's house. The beautiful cream-colored home stood nestled between two sprawling maple trees, their leaves rustling softly in the breeze. She admired the charming flower boxes under the windows, each bursting with bright colours and a magnetic scent, a testament to Maya's mother's love for gardening.When Lily knocked on the door, it opened almost immediately, revealing Maya’s mother, Mrs. Hudson. She was a warm, cheerful woman in her mid-forties, with kind eyes and an apron tied snugly around her waist. The scent of freshly baked cookies moved from inside the house and Lily was happy she had come.“Lily, dear! It’s so good to see you,” Mrs. Hudson greeted with a bright smile. “Come in, come in. Maya’s upstairs in her room.”“Thank you, Mrs. Hudson,” Lily said, stepping inside. The inside of the house was as cozy as the way it suggested on the outside, with soft lighting and family photos li

    The school courtyard buzzed with life as students moved to and fro, chatting in groups or heading to their classes. Lily and Maya walked side by side, their voices low as they went into the startling revelation Lucian—or rather, Alpha Derek—had made the previous night.“I still can’t believe it,” Maya said, her voice filled with disbelief as she clutched her books tightly against her chest. “Lucian, or Derek, or whatever we’re calling him now, was Alex’s Alpha? And Alex nearly killed him?” She shook her head. “It’s like something out of a bad soap opera.”Lily sighed, her expression thoughtful. “I know. It’s a lot to take in. The fact that he lied to us about his identity all this time—it’s hard to just accept his story at face value. What if there’s more he’s not telling us?”Maya nodded, her brows furrowed. “Exactly. If he lied about something as big as his name and his history, who’s to say he’s not lying about other things? I mean, he could be hiding even more secrets.”Lily st

    The air in the room was suffocating, filled with disbelief, tension, and an almost audible crackle of shock. Everyone stared at Lucian as if waiting for him to say he had been joking, that Alex’s accusations were just a cruel manipulation. But Lucian remained composed, his face unreadable, as his confession settled heavily among them.Lexa stood motionless beside him, her lips pressed into a tight line. The silence stretched unbearably until Lucas finally broke it.“What the hell do you mean, Alex wasn’t lying?” Lucas growled, his fists clenched at his sides. “What game are you playing, Lucian? What have you been holding back?”Lucian’s eyes flickered, but he maintained his calm demeanor. “It’s not a game, Lucas. It’s the truth. And you deserve to hear it" Lucian said as his eyes moved from Lucas and moved around to the sea of faces that were watching him.Maya crossed her arms, her brows furrowed. “So start talking. Because right now, none of us trust you.”“Nor should you,” Liam

    The air was tense as the car sped down the darkened road leading to Lucian’s mansion. Lily sat between Lucas and Liam in the backseat, her hands clutched tightly in her lap. Maya sat in the passenger seat, her face illuminated by the faint glow of her phone screen as she absentmindedly scrolled, though it was clear her mind was elsewhere.No one had spoken much since they decided to confront Lucian and Lexa. The weight of Alex’s cryptic warning about Lucian’s true identity hung heavy over them, thickening the silence in the car.They didn’t trust his words, but they had a feeling that if they don’t find out the truth, they might regret it later. Lucas finally broke the quiet. “Are we sure this is the right move? Confronting Lucian like this?”“We don’t have a choice,” Liam replied, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. “If Alex knows something we don’t, we can’t just sit back and do nothing. We need answers.”“But what if we’re walking into something we’re not prepared for?”

    The ball had ended in a glittering success, much to Lily’s relief. The grand ballroom was now empty, the laughter, clinking glasses, and lively music just a memory lingering in the air. Lily felt the exhaustion of the night settling into her bones as she went up the stairs to her room, Maya by her side. Despite the calm exterior of the night, her mind was anything but peaceful.“Thank the stars no one noticed Alex’s arrival,” Lily murmured, breaking the silence as they reached her door. “I was terrified something would go wrong, but it seems the guests were none the wiser.”“Except us,” Maya replied, her tone dark with unspoken concern. “And that’s bad enough.”Lily nodded, unlocking the door and stepping into her room. It was dimly lit, with soft, golden light emanating from the bedside lamps. Maya followed her in, closing the door behind them.Lily sank onto the edge of her bed, kicking off her heels and rubbing her temples. “What does Alex want, Maya? Why now? He’s always been..

    The grand ballroom was alive with the murmur of conversations, laughter, and the soft strains of music floating from the live orchestra. Lucas and Liam stood near the center of the room, deep in conversation with a group of dignified guests, their expressions polite but distracted. Though they were putting on the facade of charm and engagement, their thoughts were elsewhere—mainly on Lily and how she was managing the ball. Liam leaned slightly toward Lucas as another guest began a lengthy anecdote about her pack’s historical alliances. “She’s doing great, isn’t she?” he murmured under his breath, his eyes scanning the room. Lucas nodded, his jaw tightening. “She is, but she shouldn’t have to worry about this alone. We should be with her” Lucas said. Before Liam could respond, Breca appeared, her face pale and eyes wide with alarm. She hesitated only for a second before stepping forward and whispering urgently, “Alpha Lucas, Alpha Liam, there’s a problem. Alex... he’s in the ki

    The ball was in full swing, a dazzling display of grandeur and elegance. Chandeliers sparkled above the crowd in the great ballroom, their light catching on the sequins and jewels of gowns and tuxedos. Music swirled in the air, an enchanting melody that made everyone feel like they were in a fairy tale. Maya stood at the edge of the room, her breath catching as she took it all in. This was the first time she was invited to a ball such as grand as this and she was enjoying the experience. She couldn’t help but admire the sheer beauty and meticulous planning that had gone into the event. From the intricately arranged floral centerpieces to the perfectly curated music, it was clear Lily had outdone herself. She was so proud that her best friend was able to pull off an event that would surely be the talk of the pack and she couldn't help but smile as the feelings of admiration came over her. “This is... stunning,” Maya whispered, smiling at a passing couple. She couldn’t wait to fi

    The air in the kitchen felt heavy, as if the tension had entered into the very walls. Lily’s breaths came fast and shallow, her pulse racing as Alex’s dark presence loomed. The maids who had been diligently assisting her moments ago now stood frozen, their eyes darting nervously between Alex and Lily. “Leave us,” Alex commanded, his tone smooth but laced with steel. The maids exchanged anxious glances, clearly torn between obeying him and staying to protect Lily. One of them, a small woman named Breca, stepped forward, her hands trembling but her chin lifted defiantly. “No, sir,” Breca said, her voice quivering but resolute. “We can’t leave Luna Lily alone with you.” Alex’s expression remained calm, but the flicker of menace in his eyes was unmistakable. “I won’t repeat myself" Alex said, his voice stern and his eyes filled with power. Lily placed a gentle hand on Breca’s arm, drawing her attention. “Breca, it’s okay,” she said softly, trying to keep her voice steady despite

    The great ballroom of the mansion sparkled like a dream, lit by cascading chandeliers that seemed to dance with the elegance of a thousand twinkling stars. Guests moved gracefully across the polished marble floor, their laughter and conversation blending harmoniously with the soft strains of classical music played by the live orchestra. Lily stood near the towering double doors, her palms lightly damp as she welcomed each guest with Lucas and Liam on either side of her, Alpha Dean and Luna Ariel just a few steps away. The weight of her position bore down on her like never before. Her dress, a flowing emerald-green gown that perfectly complemented her luminous skin, felt heavier than it had earlier, as if the expectations of the night were stitched into the fabric. “Welcome, Alpha Drake,” she said warmly, her voice steady despite the nerves knotting in her stomach. “We’re so honored to have you here tonight.” The broad-shouldered alpha nodded politely, his mate giving her an appr
