Gwen’s POV

He is silent for a while. I study his back as I wait for his reply.

He is wearing a black long coat over his clothes. It falls off his wide shoulders nicely and reaches the middle of his legs. He is quite tall.

His hair falls past the collar of his coat and onto his back like a river of white silk. Nobody mentioned vampires also happen to have better hair.

“It’s not the time for that story,” he says finally.

From his tone, I can tell it’s not one he is looking forward to telling.

“The werewolf. He hurt you.”

I’m about to say that no, he didn’t. But I don’t think he is talking about physical injuries. I swallow down the knot forming in my throat. “How do you know that?”

He turns and walks back to the bedside. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry, but I saw your memories when I fed you. I don’t understand how he could do that to you.”

I recall the things Stefan told me about vampires. About how they can read your mind and control people with their minds. Knowing he w

    Gwen’s POV The last thing I expect when Alexander brings me to take a shower is to be led into a bedroom that looks like it belongs in a modern luxurious mansion instead of an ancient castle. It’s nothing like the room I woke up in. A king bed sits in the middle of the room against the far wall, heavy drapery frames the windows, and an expensive Persian rug lies on the floor. The wall is adorned with oriental paintings. Next to the bed on one side is a vanity, and near the window, two armchairs and a table. Alexander stands in the doorway while I survey the room, which is on the third floor of the castle. “Do you like it?” I walk towards the window and peer outside. From here, I can see the beautiful compound outside. I can only imagine how beautiful the sunrise must look from here. “I love it.” He smiles. “I’m happy you do. I’ll leave you to it, then. I’ll be in the library.” An hour later, I head back to the library. I walk into the room but don’t see him. I’m about to turn

    Stefan’s POV I can’t look away. It’s nothing I want to see. It’s like a train wreck, happening right in front of my eyes and I can’t look away. Levi was right. No. This can’t be right. He bought her, abused her, and kept her imprisoned for years. There’s no way she would be with him willingly. She would never work for him willingly. That’s not the Mari I know. He must be forcing her. I’m sure of it. But the look she gives me when they pull away from each other freezes my heart. It’s cold, searing through me like an ice shard. This is not the Mari I know. She is not the girl I grew up with. Not the woman I saved…or thought I did. Her eyes have only ever been warm when she looked at me. Now, I can’t recognise the look in them. All I know is it’s sending chills down my spine. “What did he do to you?” I ask anyway. Maybe her sudden coldness is just for show. She doesn’t mean to look at me like I’m her prey, finally snagged in her trap. “What has he got over you?” “He is my ma

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   52. Eric

    Five Hundred Years Ago “Ruby! Ruby!” Ruby turned her head at Maeve’s voice, wondering what the ruckus was about. It was a quiet, lazy afternoon. Ruby was sitting in her room by the window, painting a flower she had picked up earlier outside. She had no idea what it was called…she had never seen it before, and that’s why she had felt compelled to pluck one and preserve it on canvas. It had red blooms with black nectaries in the middle. Her door flung open and her maid, also her childhood friend and closest confidant, burst in. Her red curly hair was pulled over one shoulder in a messy braid, tendrils whipping around her face. Her excitement made her face even more animated than it usually was, with her big green eyes popping and her cheeks flushed. “He is here,” she rasped, breathless, before Ruby could ask what the excitement was about. “Who?” Ruby asked, despite the fact that she had a good idea who, and her heart was already pounding in anticipation. There was only one person

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   53. Monsters

    Five Hundred Years Ago Ruby did not get back home until the next morning. She knew her father would be worried to death–but she couldn’t have gotten back any sooner. Eric had brought her to a cave deep in the mountains, where nobody would find them. He assured her that the warriors would not flush him out. They were all like him. His entire clan was made up of werewolves. It had shocked her to hear that. But not as much as she was terrified for him. He was not well. When they got to the cave and he shifted back to his human body, he had lain down, his entire body shivering. He was also incredibly hot. Luckily, there was a stream rushing by. She had torn off a piece of her dress and used it to cool his body, soaking it in the stream countless times. That’s what she had done most of the night. He had gone in and out of consciousness many times. She hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep. She didn’t ask questions. Partly because he wasn’t in the state for interrogation, and partly becau

    Five Hundred Years Ago For the next few days, the war between the tribe and the werewolves raged. Every man that could be spared took up arms and went into the mountains. There were a lot of deaths on both sides. Ruby did not go back to the mountains after coming back with Maeve’s body. The look on Maeve’s mother’s face had torn her to pieces. The woman had lost two children to the werewolves in one day, and Ruby was the reason behind one of those deaths. How could she dare to say they were not monsters? She should be out there, hunting them down with fellow warriors. She should be the one to sink a dagger into his heart. Make him pay for taking Maeve’s life. But her father had left her in charge while he led the warriors in the mountains. It was her duty to keep the community safe in his absence. Deep inside, she knew nobody ever had to die. They could have banished the clan from the tribe. Maybe they would have accepted it and left peacefully. But now, there was no chance for

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   55. Craving Her Warmth

    Five Hundred Years Ago Everything was quiet for a few weeks after the two bodies were found. The warriors came down from the mountains eventually. There was no sign of werewolves. Everyone believed that the nightmare was over. But the reprieve did not last long. About a month after the last couple of murders, people began disappearing. Some were never found. Those that turned up did so dead and drained of blood. The attacks happened during the night, so the chief placed a curfew limiting movement after dusk. But it turned out that they were not safe even in their own homes. Nobody believed this was the werewolves’ doing anymore. They were facing something else, something much more evil. Something that was more in tune with the tales they told about vampires. The knowledge created panic and that was when it dawned on the tribe the mistake they had made. Killing the werewolves. The warrior clan had not just been protecting them from rival tribes. They had also been their

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   56. Sacrifice

    Five Hundred Years Ago The High Priestess of the warrior clan showed up at the chief’s residence the day after Ruby’s father died. If she had shown up a month before, she would have been ambushed right away by the guards. But things had changed. The adversary had changed, and the tribespeople were aware that the werewolves they had banished could be their only saviours. Ruby was in the front hall discussing funeral arrangements with Maeve’s mother when the priestess walked through the front door. Nobody had heard of her since the werewolves were exposed. She was the first of the warrior clan to appear openly in the tribe since the hunt began. Were there others in hiding like her? Could she know what had happened to Eric? Ruby rushed forward and met her. “High Priestess–” “I’m here to meet the acting chief,” she cut her off. Maeve’s mother appeared beside Ruby. “Who allowed you to come into this house?” The priestess’s cold eyes moved to her. “Should I go back? Perhaps you’ve

    Five Hundred Years Ago After leaving Ruby in the hunting cabin, Alexander went back to the place they had been ambushed by the werewolves. He found the werewolves gone, but he caught up to the tribesmen. He couldn’t let them go. He didn’t intend on staying at the tribe anymore, but it didn’t matter. Every human who knew his true nature had to go. They also had to pay for putting Ruby in danger. As their screams rendered the air as he worked through them, he thought about Ruby’s face a few moments ago. She would hate him even more when she knew he had gone after them. If she could hate him any more than she already did. He had murdered her father. He knew she would have sunk that dagger into his heart if he had stayed for a second longer. He had just dropped the drained body of the acting chief to the ground when a huge black wolf rushed onto the scene. He waited for more, but none showed up. The wolf poised ready to attack. “Where is she?” the werewolf’s voice reached his

    High Palace, Ninth Heaven Selena, Moon Goddess, walked through the open doors of the High Palace. It had been centuries since Mother Creator had summoned her. A summon from Her Holiness was a rare occurrence that sent fear through even the most powerful deities. It often meant one of two things–you’ve gotten on her bad side, or she’s about to give you a new Order. Orders could be bad or good, but it was better to manage one’s expectations. Selena spent most of her time at her Lunar Palace, overseeing the race the Holy Mother had sanctioned her to begin as guardians to the human race. That had been thousands of years ago, and it had been her last Order. She wanted to hope, but she had a sinking feeling this summoning was not about her Order. When she got in front of the throne, she got to her knees, her white robes spilling on the iridescent marble floor. Holding her hands together in front of her, she bowed deeply. “Mother.” There was nobody on the throne, but the creator’s

    Stefan’s POV It’s not until I watch the flames engulf her body that all hope dies within me. Gwen is gone. She is dead. When I saw her at the castle two nights ago, I thought I had time. Now, I have all the time in the world, but I don’t have her. I have nothing. And it’s all my fault. If I’d never let her leave, this would not have happened. Heck, if I’d left her alone that night I found her at the nightclub, she would be alright. ‘You can delay fate, but you cannot change it.’ That’s what Eric said when I woke up in the middle of the jungle after he went off running last night. She was meant to die, that’s what he meant. That it didn’t matter what I did or failed to do. She would have died anyway, at that exact time. He said the High Priestess never mentioned it. She told him about his own demise, but not a word about Gwen’s. Why did she insist on sacrificing Gwen in her past life when she must have known she would die young? Because then, she must have known that Gwen

    Stefan’s POV “Why did Alexander help Theodore?” I ask Phillip when he shows up in the library in the evening. I’ve been in here most of the day, looking through Alexander’s books. Eric insists that I’m wasting my time. But time’s all I have. Gwen has been avoiding me all day since our conversation in the garden this morning. I know I have to give her time. It’ll be a while before she wants to see me, leave alone talk to me. While I wait for that time to come, I’ll not stop looking for a way to give her something she might want more than me. Eric says he is not the one she loves, but she hasn’t heard their story. Maybe…what if…what if all this time, he was the one she loved? She says if we break the bond, I’ll realise I never really love her. What if that’s true for her? Maybe without the bond, I’m nothing to her. Because we were never meant to be. We only found each other because Eric chose me as his host. I’d never have gotten tangled up with her. I only served to bring the

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   63. Set Him Free

    Eric’s POV Gwen and I are a pair of star-crossed soulmates. That’s what the High Priestess told me in my past life while trying to dissuade me from going through the ritual that would keep me around for half a century. She said no matter how many lives our paths crossed, it would never end well. I don’t think I entirely believed her back then. After all, she was the same person who took Ruby’s life with a lie. She could have been lying to get out of performing the ritual because it was forbidden and would cost her. Even if she was telling the truth, it wouldn’t have changed my mind. It’s okay if I never get to be with her, as long as I can protect her. I had hope that would be for at least a few years before my spirit dissipated. But all I’ve gotten are a few months so far. And unless I convince Gwen to give Stefan another chance, that might be all that I get. We make the switch in the morning. I told Stefan I can rob him of his body. I was bluffing. I’ll be lucky if I can hol

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   62. Lend Me Your Body

    Stefan’s POV I catch Gwen just before she hits the couch behind her. Her limp body falls into my arms and I lift her, holding her against my body. This is not one of the scenarios I had in mind when I imagined how it would be when I saw her again. I imagined she’d be mad and say she hates me–and I could see that in her eyes when I walked into the room a moment ago. But I didn’t imagine seeing me would be so horrible for her that she’d pass out. “Where’s her room?” I ask the vampire. “Can you get the healer? I’ll make a call.” When the vampire came to me not long ago, I wasn’t at the pack. I was in possibly the hundredth town I’ve been to in the past five months, looking for her. “This way,” he says, leaving the room. I follow him into the hallway and up a flight of stairs. He branches off on the third floor. He opens a door to the east and I walk through it into a large bedroom. “Make the call,” the vampire tells me as I lay Gwen on the bed. “I don’t want to spook anyone.” I

    Five Months Later It’s been five months since Alexander died. In that time, I’ve not left the castle. I could go anywhere I wanted, but that’s the thing. I don’t want to go anywhere. Not for another two months, at least. When the baby comes, I cannot stay here. It’s fine to isolate myself in the middle of the jungle with no contact with the outside world save for a vampire butler who refuses to leave, but I cannot do that to a child. When she comes–according to Phillip, who can sense a ton of things I’d normally need an ultrasound for, it’s a girl–I want to give her a normal life. As normal as I can before she grows up and finds out she is a werewolf. I don’t plan on looking for a werewolf community. There are werewolves who live in the human world, perfectly hidden. As long as I raise and teach her well, it can be just the two of us, living a peaceful life away from the chaos in the supernatural world. When I leave the castle, I intend to move to one of the houses Alexander lef

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   60. Forgive Me

    Gwen’s POV I wake up in the middle of the night to strange sounds coming from the hallway. I sit up in bed and listen. When a feminine scream rends the air, I jump out of bed and rush for the door. When I get to the hallway, I see a woman outside Alexander’s door. She turns around when I appear, and on seeing me, rushes towards me. “Help me! They are trying to–” She comes to a sudden stop as a stricken look crosses over her face. She stumbles back, eyeing me with suspicion. “Are you one of them?” Phillip appears from Alexander’s room and I walk over, looking between him and the woman. She is human. “What is going on?” “Don’t worry about it,” he tells me. “Go back to sleep.” The woman is looking between us, pressing herself against the wall. I look at her. “It’s okay. No one’s going to hurt you.” There’s only one reason a human would be in a vampire’s castle. But as long as I’m here, no one’s getting drained. She looks at me with wide, terrified eyes, unsure whether to trust me.

    Stefan’s POV “So you went to bed with a vampire,” I mutter into the dark room after Eric is done with his story. ‘After everything I’ve said, that’s what has left an impression on you?’ I sigh and rub a hand over my face. “You have faith in this vampire, but you have no idea what he has been up to for the past five centuries. He is working with an asshole like Theodore. Maybe Gwen is not as safe with him as you think. Maybe at some point, his dark nature caught up with him and he found everything he did back then laughable. Maybe he took her so he could do what he failed to do back then.” He is quiet. And that means he knows I could be right. ‘But she is still alive,’ he says after a moment. ‘I would feel it if she died, no matter where she is. He wouldn’t keep her alive if he was back to his true nature.’ “There are worse things than death,” I whisper. What if he is torturing her? She is a werewolf, so he cannot drink her blood. If he regrets the things he did for her hundreds

  • My Alpha Mate is Fated to My Sister   58. An Unlikely Deal

    Five Hundred Years Ago The vampire disappeared right in front of their eyes. Eric hated it. It was the most annoying ability those cursed creatures had. When they knew it was a losing battle, they avoided all contact with werewolves. Because once a werewolf got their claws or fangs into their undead bodies, they couldn’t get away. With the vampire gone and the High Priestess done with her ritual, he rushed to the altar and fell to his knees. He unfastened the ropes around Ruby’s limbs and gathered her in his arms. Tears blurred his sight as he called her name, stroked her face, embraced her limp body close. She was gone. It felt like someone had reached into his chest and tore his heart out. How could he have such a connection to a human? He had never understood his feelings towards her. At twenty eight, he was yet to find his destined mate. He should have met her about a decade ago. He assumed she was already dead. Was that why he had been able to fall for her so hard?
