Someone That Looks Just Like Us

“He is not a toy that you can take back just like that” Whitney scoffed and placed both hands on her waist aware of what must be going on in Samantha’s mind. 

“Wow, you don’t want to give him up. Dressed like this, did you suddenly feel like you’re the alpha’s daughter?” Samantha Cole sneered at Whitney. 

“I’m the alpha’s daughter” Whitney barked back as her face turned gloomy. 

Although she was aware of the rumors going around the pack, she doesn’t want to hear such side talks from her sisters as it would hurt her more. 

Samantha chuckled and said, “we all know the truth Whitney, you’re just a slave with no status. How about I tell him that you don’t have any position as the alpha’s daughter in the pack? He will go berserk when he finds out that the mate he has chosen is nothing but a mere servant in the Bloodmoon pack” Sam said mockingly.

Samantha Cole would take all the time to remind Whitney about her life in the Bloodmoon pack, which was one terrible event that creeped her out. 

“What do you want?” Whitney, not wanting to proceed with this talk, decided to finish up with this talk quickly, since she was never interested in mating with the last lycan, she’d rather team up with Sam. 

“Give the Lycan back and I can help you escape from the pack right now” in an instant Whitney’s eyes flashed with excitement as she found Samantha’s offer appealing. 

“Deal!” She mumbled without thinking twice, Samantha Cole had a triumphant smile on her lips and nodded at Whitney. 

The two ladies walked out of the kitchen like they never had a conversation, with a smile Whitney served the tea and sneaked out of the living room with Sam who had packed some of her money and handed it down to Whitney.

“Don’t ever return, I don’t want to see you close to the alpha king” Samantha yelled and Whitney nodded in response. 

Who wants to be with that mean man?

Sam snuck Whitney out of the manor after she had called her friends over, with the assistance of her friends living nearby, Whitney in a rush left through the back door and got into a black truck driven by Sam's friends.

She watched as the Bloodmoon pack disappeared in her eyes while recalling the torments and how badly she was treated by her family in this land.

Being betrayed and rejected by her lover who she has loved for six years and her sister who she has taken as a family was like getting crushed by a lorry. 

These are all painful memories that were glued in her heart. Shortly, she was far from the pack territory and could only sigh at how things had finally ended for her. 

Many months later after Whitney Cole had escaped from that hell hole, the money given to her by Sam wasn’t enough to start a new life but she was able to rent an apartment close to where she had gotten a job.

It was nothing huge but a bakery store where she earned a thousand bucks a month, ‘this would be enough for me to enroll in college,’ She would say to myself excitedly whenever she received her pay.

“Whitney, be fast with the cake parfait! The guests are getting impatient” Mrs. William's voice from the counter was loud and impatient.

She was the owner of the store and has treated Whitney nicely ever since she started working in her bakery store. 

Meanwhile, Whitney was about to place the parfait in the glass when a strong feeling of nausea hit her.

At first, it was minor, but this time she couldn’t control herself, she kept the parfait back on the table and ran to the restroom to puke.

Mrs. William's heard the commotion and was startled, she stood in the hallway with her arms folded up to her chest.

After Whitney had relieved herself, she washed her face and walked out of the restroom, “what’s going on with you, are you okay?” Whitney flinched as she was startled to see Mrs. William standing in the hallway with a creased brow. 

“I’m fine, maybe I have an allergy. I might have eaten something bad” she responded suddenly with a smile after recovering from the trance.

Mrs. William gave Whitney a suspicious glance that turned pitiful.

“I’ll serve the cake parfait,” Whitney said and attempted to leave but she was held by Mrs. Williams. 

“No need, you look pale and sick. Just go home and rest, also have yourself checked up in the hospital” she asserted, Whitney Cole wanted to retort but Mrs. William firmly stood her ground and left her standing alone in the hallway.

Whitney went back to the kitchen, grabbed my things, and headed to the hospital just like Mrs. William had advised.

However, after informing the doctor about the sudden feeling of nausea, she took down many other questions which Whitney found unnecessary. 

The doctor took her blood sample and did a pregnancy screening, “the result will be out in a few minutes, so we can determine what the cause of your nausea is” Whitney nodded her head in response while rubbing her palms nervously as she prayed for the result to come out negative. 

That man was notorious and had a bad reputation, he would break her bones if he ever found her, especially if she became pregnant with his child. 

Only the thought of this made her quiver with a sweaty palm. 

“Miss Whitney, your result is out” the doctor uttered as she sat down opposite Whitney who was lost in reverie. 

“You’re pregnant Miss Whitney, two months gone. That’s why you’re feeling nauseated and dizzy” the doctor announced with a beaming face. 

Whitney’s face turned pale immediately after the doctor announced the result, it was like she was in another world ready to escape all this.

“Miss Whitney” the doctor's voice kept echoing in her ear and she wished that this was just a bad dream that she’d wake up from. 

“Miss Whitney” the doctor called again with her hand placed on Whitney’s shoulder, she shuddered and snapped out of a daze. 

“Are you okay? You seemed lost” the doctor asked with worry written all over her face, Whitney faked a smile and said, “I’m perfect, I want an abortion” she uttered abruptly. 

The doctor frowned and walked back to her seat, “why Miss Whitney?” She arched her brow.

“I’m not ready for this child and I still have to finish my study” she lied, Whitney wanted this child, it’s her baby. 

How can she not want it? However, keeping the devil's child would only put her life at stake.

Shortly after the procedures for the abortion were processed but it turned out that she wouldn’t be able to abort the child as she would die doing it.

She is left dejected and can only return home like a lost soul. 

However, as months passed, Whitney grew to love her baby more, she was already in the seventh trimester of pregnancy and was already making plans of leaving the country with the money she earned from working at the bakery store. 

On the day of her trip, Mrs. William saw her off at the airport and handed her an envelope, Mrs. William is the only family she had made in her whole world. 

“Take care” Mrs. William uttered and bid Whitney goodbye. 

Whitney Cole boarded a plane to Milan where she stayed with Mrs. William's sister who took care of her till the day she delivered her twin boys. 

*Four Years Later*

Whitney Cole was sent back to Moschino headquarters US to join the biggest fashion competition as a designer representing their company.

She got her degree in fashion design and was recruited to Moschino as a fashion designer after giving birth.

In the business suite, Whitney, who was sitting on the left side of the plane, was gloomy throughout their flight to the US.

They took off from Milan and soon arrived at Los Angeles airport, “come on boys” she said to Liam and Oliver who hurled their boxes out of the airport. 

The driver sent by Whitney’s company was already waiting in front of the airport with a polite smile, “hello ma’am, I’m your driver Jack” a blonde guy said. 

“Hello Jack, nice to meet you,” they exchanged a handshake while smiling at each other. 

“Should I take you to the house or do you have anywhere else in mind?” He inquired after Whitney and the boys got into the car. 

“Take us home” She affirmed and took off her sunglasses. 

The ride to Whitney’s new apartment which the company has awarded to her was on the outskirts of the town, they’d also stop at a grocery store where she bought a few groceries. 

“Here is my card, you can contact me anytime you want to leave the house” Whitney took the key from Jack while nodding her head. 

“Mummy, is this your hometown?” Liam asked just after she slammed the door. 

Whitney’s face turned pale instantly as she recalled her life in the Bloodmoon pack and also the vicious monster that could end her life if he finds her.

She got a few heads up that he has been searching crazily all over the city for her.

“I'll make lunch, then we will meet Mrs. William at the bakery store.” She decided not to answer the question and carried Liam to the kitchen. Oliver was busy with his video games and had no time to be bothered about his new home. 

He can easily blend in so long he had his tablet. 

The family of three had their lunch and quickly headed to the bakery store, “Whitney dear” Mrs. William who looked much older now embraced her tightly. 

“Where are the boys?” She asked looking around but suddenly the boys called out to Mrs. William who was so excited to meet the twins. 

“You two look more adorable in reality than on video calls” she pinched their bubbly cheeks and giggled. 

“Aunt, have you seen our daddy? I think I saw someone that looked just like us now” Oliver said to Mrs. William. 

Meanwhile, Whitney was speaking with the director of the Moschino Fashion Design Enterprise on the phone and was not able to hear what the three were going on about. 

“Shh! Don’t speak loudly or your mum would be sad, where did you see him?” Mrs. William inquired, Oliver pointed to a black Rolls Royce that was driving away from the vicinity. 

“You must have got it wrong, people can look alike but are not related. Don’t make your mum worry too much, she has lots of things to handle already” the two boys nodded in agreement and sat down on a seat in the center of the store, Mrs. William gave them a chocolate cake and orange juice and went back to work. 

“I’ll report to work tomorrow morning, thanks once again,” Whitney Cole said to the person at the other end of the line and disconnected the call.
