Aniston's (two years ago) I didn't wait for Anisa to object when I took off. She was my sister after all, if a boy is interested in her then I needed to make peace with that and be happy for her. I didn't see Nick or Anisa for a while as I stayed away to find my inner sisterly love that was capable of snuffing out any atom of feelings for Nick Morgan but I couldn't help imagining Nick's lips on mine. I imagined him running his hand down my hair and whispering to me, how he cares for me. I imagined that I had his child or maybe children. I imagined him telling the whole world that I was his one true love. Even as I planned for supper, I smiled to myself. I left my room in search of my sister. I checked her room but it was empty and I went on my merry way. I was in a hurry to find Anisa and forced her to get down for dinner with our guest when I bumped into Elena, my best friend who is currently engaged to my brother. Elena was dressed in a black elegant gown with black heels. She
Aniston's POV "What? Was that your first kiss or something?" He asked, clearly amused. "Actually, it was and my sister was right. You are a fucking asshole" I stormed off. I found a bathroom and calmed myself down before I went to the dinning hall. I wondered whether people could tell just by looking at me that I had been kissed. correction, senselessly and earth shattering kissed by the devil himself. I wiped my lip with my palm but regretted it immediately. I wanted any part of Nick I can get or do I ? God! The thinking and the questions were driving me crazy. 'Get your head straight, Aniston!"' I whispered to myself. I adjusted my roughed up hair and straightened my dress and made my way to the dinning hall. I almost made it to the hall when I saw him again. He was holding a single rose flower. "Oh look, it's the asshole again" I murmured. He smiled like I just paid him a compliment. "Okay, I deserve that" he moved closer to me. "I obviously would have been more sensit
Aniston's POVEven though I have been awake for a few minutes now, I didn't try to move. I was very still. Anyone in my position would be. Because I was currently lying naked in the arms of the boy I really like and this moment was perfect, it was better than the reality of having to go back to my shitty life, where he might not be my true mate.It is the twenty-first century, most eighteen year old girls weren't virgins but Anisa and I promised each other to wait for love.And I did, I loved Nick and his actions said he loved me too.I watched him closely, especially his mouth. I thought about places that my mouth explored last night and it made me almost turn to crimson red as I blushed.Damn! It was real. Vanessa Aniston Jensen Stillblood is no longer a virgin, I couldn't wait to tell Anisa. I wonder what my life would be like post Nick and his true mate. Will I turn into those clingy women that don't know when to let go or will I sabotage his relationship with his mate any chance
Aniston's POV I looked at the dress I chose to be proclaimed Nick's mate and it was beyond gorgeous. The gown was a pepper red sleeveless that was just the right cut and very fancy, it cost Papa a fortune. I had never worn a designer dress before, Dryer-Red was successful but papa wasn't extravagant. To compliment the dress, I paired it with an expensive black strapless heel.I looked like a paper cut out of a fashion magazine. Even a blind man could see how stunning I looked.I was flawless….every part of me was except my out of control heart.I showed myself to Elena for her professional eyes.She was enchanted just like me."I think you are the most beautiful, elegant soul I have had the opportunity of meeting. And your mate if you find him today will be blown away by your beautiful Ani" Elena complimented me.I didn't tell her, I didn't want to spoil the surprise. "Thank you" I managed a little smile. I was so nervous and had butterflies in my belly.I put my necklace in place
Aniston's POV (present)It was the first time I thought of ending it all. I just remember standing outside my bedroom door with this giant heavy weight on my chest and the thought of going to bed and never waking up again sounded appealing...so appealing that for a moment I imagined standing on the edge of a bridge and just fall to a permanent sleep but that wouldn't be fair to a lot of people.Papa would lose a child, Markle and Anisa a sibling.It didn't seem fair but what about my life or anyone's life was fair.Everyday good people find themselves doing things we never thought we would do, being people we never thought we would turn out to be while assholes like Nick get to live happily ever after. Nothing about this life screams fair and I should be used to it by now but each time life knocks the air out of my lungs and I am left standing outside a mansion reliving the most painful part of my existence, just struggling to catch my breath.I can't breathe. I am struggling and I ca
Aniston's POVStormi and I made it into the mansion. He cradled me like a little frightened girl who couldn't trust her two feet to get her to her destination and I might as well be.I felt drained. Like someone had intentionally sucked out all the energy and all the strength and all the vigor and I was nothing but a husk…a hollow severely damaged husk.I was so God damned exhausted yet I couldn't stop remembering.I guess that's the thing with shoving all your pain and all your hurt into a glass box - once broken it could take forever to fix.And so, I let myself be taken back two years ago. To a time where my future seemed impossible and my zeal for living was severely depleted.Did you know a werewolf can accept his mate in a small ceremony or in the presence of two witnesses but with rejection…God! I am taking a deep breath because thinking about it feels like I am being kicked in my hoochie by a Scandinavian horse.Unlike acceptance, rejection had to be publicized. Yeah, I had
Stormi's POVI know enough about pain to know when someone needs help and protection, and right now was that time.I could feel my blood boil, not literally but it came close enough. I wanted a few minutes with this Alpha Nicholas and I wanted to put my fist through his ribcage and pull out his heart for hurting someone I have come to care about greatly.I walked past several of our domestic staffs on my way to my room. I could see by the looks on their faces that they found it odd that I was carrying a sobbing girl to my room but I think they valued their heads enough to keep their numerous questions to themselves. Only a lunatic would purposely poke an angry alpha werewolf without fear of repercussions.I made it towards the elevator and entered and pushed the button to my floor when Ari stepped in front of us out of nowhere.His eyes were darker and I could hear his heart pounding, it was out of control like he had been running a marathon for the past three hours.When I looked at
Storm's POV I stood up. How could Aniston be the little witch in her story? How could she be that person?When she turned to look at me again, my countenance was grim and she wasn't even a little surprised.How could she not be surprised? I longed to turn to her and shake her until she looked surprised. Then I wanted to ask her whether betrayal was worth it. Maybe if she explained how Anisa felt, maybe I would catch a glimpse of what my Bella was feeling.The girl I love was out there with the notion that I wanted nothing to do with her and I was only trying to save her life but it doesn't excuse the fact that it was the biggest betrayal of the century but I did it to keep her safe but not Aniston.I wanted to ask her whether the feelings of love she had for her sister prior to the betrayal was true or was everything a giant fat lie. But I simply sat still there in the bedroom as she turned and faced the window leaving me lost in my head.Poor girl! I know I should say because I am h
