MARCELLA

"It gladdens my heart to see Enid this happy!" I forced a smile and let the emotions clog my throat.

The emotion everyone misinterpreted as care. Enid and I have been friends since fifth grade and that friendship had thrived in a way that a very lonely part of me had prayed it turned to love.

I had prayed on everything I held scared Enid be mine but the Goddess was as deaf as rock when it came to this one request.

My dreams all failed when Ximena walked down the aisle to the love of my life. And she was going to pay for it. Every second she breathed I was ready to make it tormenting until she eventually let go of her reins on Enid.

Enid would have chosen me if she did not reappear. I would have been the Luna of Moonlight Pack soon-to-be Queen of Selenia. But Ximena chose to steal that lifelong dream from me.

A server appeared in a black blazer and an arm arched behind him stretching the gold tray our way.

Whao. This is thrilling, I wonder if Marcella will discover Mildred's real identity, but why was the Alpha not there to protect her?

    ENIDAll through the morning, my mind was out the window from where I stood and it swirled around the elders' decision. How long was it going to take before I got crowned as the King of Selenia? I had met all the criteria they shoved up my face before I was crowned King of Selenia. Then why was no elder speaking of the coronation date?Then it occurred to me that yesterday was my marriage. They were leaving me some time to enjoy my honeymoon. I heaved a sigh.My mind returned to the wolfless girl prancing in my mansion and pretending to be my wife. Of course, she was my wife, we were married in the sight of the goddess and the sight of the law.There was a rap on my door and shortly after my bedroom door opened and without looking back I knew exactly who it was. "The guests are duly entertained, I think it's time for you to join them, my Alpha."Drew, my assistant, called out a few distance from me. "Any memo about the coronation Drew?" I asked without bothering to look his way, m

    ENIDI texted Chase to remind him of our little meeting later that day and it took him a decade to confirm the time. How typical of him! Clover replied in the shortest time and that warmed my heart. Clover was the brain behind our little strategy and with how ready he was to work, I couldn't help but get assured things were going to play out as planned.I thought about stopping by the glam room to be certain Mildred was getting her glam done and to douse my qualms she didn't escape the mansion as Ximena did. If she left it was game over for me. My throne would be taken away. I was in the last phase of this kingship. Once my wife and mate were crowned the Queen then the elders could fuck off to hell for all I cared but for now, whatever title I had now was not solid. That's why I needed Mildred to play a convincing part. I needed her to keep my throne. It troubled my heart that Mildred's nerve was going to desert her and she wouldn't hesitate spilling her guts. I was the Alpha Kin

    MILDREDI stared at my reflection in the mirror by the vanity countertop in the bathroom. I was void of any feeling. There was no disgust, nor regret. All I knew was that my black tresses had gone down and were now dyed out to this offensive brown bobbed hair which made me a little bit skinnier than I actually was. I looked at my eyes. My hazel eyes were perfect, these honey-brown eyes made it disturbing for me to look at. My stomach built, and I felt the need to throw up. The disgust in the pit of my stomach rose back to my gut threatening to spill. This wasn't me. This wasn't who I was. How did I get here? Where did I go wrong to have the goddess take my life from me?When the need to throw up was consuming, I dashed to the toilet and emptied my bowels. I strengthened, flushed the toilet, brushed my teeth, and stripped, going into the shower. After a few minutes, I stepped out, towel dried my hair and body and it was a few minutes past eight p.m. when I retired to bed. I was i

    MILDREDAn overactive mind had kept me awake, taunting me with heated pictures of what my night would have been like if things weren't so different with the handsome ruler. If he didn't despise me so much. Enid had ignited a spark in my soul the night before bringing out something wild in me. When the sun rose, I gave up the struggles for rest. I slid out of the comfy bed coverings, shredded off my nightwear, and stepped into the bathroom. The shower was soothing enough to calm me and prepare me physically for the day. I looked around the closet and couldn't find what to wear. I had a few clothes in here yesterday but now I couldn't seem to find them. I huffed. All I could find were Enid's collection of shoes, jackets, shirts, and a bunch of other outrageously expensive outfits anyone as wealthy as Enid could think of owning. He wasn't thoughtful enough to at least consider my outfits. My gaze fell on the white crisp crew-neck shirt in the drawers. I couldn't prance around the

    MILDREDChase broke the proximity with a sweet smile on his face. He trodden further into the garden with his hands tugged in the pockets of his pants. I followed closely, wondering what he meant by the pyramid. Was he aware of this entire plan? Was this marriage not just in Enid's favor?I chose to look at this from another angle, what if he suspected something fishy and tried to get a slip from me?I glanced at him and he was by the rose flowers. But the lovely scent and the beautiful flowers were not what appealed to my heart right now. I needed to know who was the foe and the ally lest I confided in the wrong person. "I'm still processing your words, if I'm being honest I don't understand what you mean there. Enid's plans?" I chuckled nervously. "You're much better than how Enid described you." He shrugged and considered me a little longer with his blue eyes. "How did he describe me?"I regretted the second the question left my lips. A very insecure part of me knew Enid was n

    MILDRED"You can't fucking say something?" A smirk appeared on Marcella's perfectly lined lips. This lady was growing into a threat and as the day went by, her plans seemed to be tilting. First, she wanted me to divorce Enid and now she was trying to uncover the truth behind my brown eyes. "Why did you cut your hair? Why did you fucking dye? Your eyes what the fuck did you do to them?"I was nervous to the pits of my stomach, beads of perspiration trailed down my back beneath my dress. My lips shivered and I thought of how to answer her unnerving questions. Instead, with a great shove, I pushed her aside quickly turning inside and heading straight towards the stairs hoping to disappear into the comforting room I stayed in.I hurriedly selected my strides and headed towards the stairs but just then, I bumped into someone and the contents of the laundry basket spilled to the floor. Miss Baxton glared from the spilled-out laundry to my face with a defiant pout on her face. I rubbed

    MILDREDMy tone and how boisterous my voice grew only seemed to heighten the fury in Marcella's eyes. Her eyes darted nervously from me to Enid by the double doors right before the butler and Alpha Bruce and his wife Navaeh.She seemed relaxed now to find Enid's attention back on the company before him."Look," I drew out a slow and steady breath, "These few days have been crazy and hectic for me that's why I would so much appreciate it if you could just let me be for now. We can catch up and chat another time." My tone became as soft as marshmallows as a sweet smile curled on my lips.But Marcella didn't quit; she wanted the truth. And what was she going to do with the truth?Considering she was friends with Enid, if Enid had let Chase in on the truth then he should have done the same had she not been a blabbermouth. Such people were never trusted with delicate information.With her attitude and her 'divorce Enid' thing I couldn't help but think this woman was eventually going to go

    MILDREDMy eyes could not depart from Enid as we made our way to the room. I was glad he now had the attention I required. Today he wasn't in such a terrible mood and his subtle gesture made my heart swell. The hallway seemed to cut more than half as we got to his room in no time.I in a way felt disappointed as we turned into the room and his grip on my hand softened and eventually broke from mine. It was strange how my hand felt empty without his large palm in it. He stepped into the room first and the second I did, he hurled me to himself, slammed the door, and slammed my back hard against it. Soft pain tingles down my back from the effect of the hurl. He pinned me to the door and his eyes blazed as he glared at me. He was closer to me in a manner that knocked all the breath from me, the pain in my back was slowly washed away by the blissful feeling of having his body pressed against mine. His breathing fanned my face and my knees buckled threatening to give up on me. "What th

    MILDREDTHE END.I sat on a bench at the burial ground, surrounded by the peaceful silence of nature. In front of me lies the grave of my beloved sister, Ximena. I took a deep breath and began to speak, as if she's still with me."Ximena, it's been a year since you left us. I know you're no longer here, but I need to tell you everything that's happened. I need to make sure you know how much we've accomplished, how much we've healed."Elias and Naveah, they thought they could get away with taking you from us, but they were wrong. Enid and I worked together to bring them to justice. They're now serving life sentences with hard labor. Molly, who was sheepishly helping them, was released and came to me asking for forgiveness. I forgave her, and we've moved on. Marcella, who was also involved, was released but left the pack in shame. Elder Remy, Elias' accomplice, was given a one-year jail term and was banished from the pack as soon as he was released.I paused, looking at her grave."Toda

    MILDREDFINALLYI woke up to a knock on the door, my heart was still heavy with grief and I didn’t expect that anyone would be at my door this early. My heart still aches badly. I had only met my twin sister,the Ximena I thought I was impersonating all along, I didn’t know that she was my other half, I had the opportunity to meet her, how could she even be gone already? This doesn’t even make sense!She was taken from me in an instant, by a bullet meant even for me. I felt very guilty even until this moment. I grumbled as I got out of bed and made my way to the door. Vanessa stood outside, her face looking really somber.I looked at Vanessa for a moment, then nodded and walked back to my bed. She suddenly hugged me tightly and burst into tears. I tried to hold back my tears, but I couldn't. We both cried for a while. Then, she held my hands and looked at me with sad eyes. "Someone is here to see you, Mildred," she said softly. "Who is it?" I asked, my voice barely audible. "Just c

    MILDRED RIP XIMENA "Oh no, Ximena! Please wake up! We've just found each other, don't leave me now!" I screamed, my voice shaking desperately. Ximena's body lay limp on the ground, her eyes closed, her chest bleeding from the gunshot wound. "Take this madman away!" Enid yelled, and the police dragged Elias away, wresting the gun from his hand. Ximena's eyes flickered open, and she gazed at me with tears streaming down her face. "I'm so glad I found you, sister," she whispered, her voice weak. "Navaeh took me from our mother when we were babies. She used us being twins and that fact that it was a taboo and we will be killed if disclosed to blackmail me, but I'm free now." I held her hand, my heart breaking into a thousand pieces. "Don't worry, Ximena, you'll be okay. We'll get you to the hospital, and you'll survive this." But Ximena's smiled, even though I could see how sad she was through her eyes. "It's too late, Mildred. The bullet hit my heart. I'm sorry...there's nothi

    MILDREDHE PULLED THE TRIGGER!"This is it, Marcella! You're going to pay for all the suffering you've caused me!" I snarled, my hand cracking against her cheek in a resounding slap. "And that's for Ximena! I turned my icy gaze on Navaeh, my eyes blazing with pain and fury. "Navaeh," I spat, my voice dripping with venom. She cowered, her body trembling like a leaf, as she beheld the wrath in my eyes. This was the moment I had been waiting for, the moment of reckoning."You treated me like dirt, Navaeh! You made me feel worthless, always favoring your own daughter, Molly, over me. You never cared about my well-being, only your own selfish interests."“Errmm, I…I…” Navaeh tried to speak, but I wouldn't let her. "No, you don't get to talk! You sent me out into the night, alone and vulnerable. If not for destiny, I would have never met Enid. You would have gotten me killed by gunmen or kidnappers because you obviously wouldn’t have paid a dime to get me out of there"My voice cracked w

    ENIDMILDRED AND XIMENA ARE TWINSElder Remy's face turned beet red with rage. "You've betrayed the pack, Enid! You lied about Ximena! You're a disgrace to the throne!"Mildred dropped to her knees, pleading with the elders. "Please, have mercy! Enid had no part in this. I deceived everyone, I pretended to be Ximena. I'll accept my punishment, but spare him!"I watched, frustrated, as Mildred took the blame. Didn't she realize she was making things worse? I thought she had learned to think before acting, but apparently not. I felt a surge of annoyance, wanting to tell her to stop, to let me handle it. But I kept my cool, knowing that would only make things worse.Remy's harsh words towards Mildred ignited my anger. "Shut up!" he barked, and my blood boiled. How dare he disrespect my mate?Mildred's attempts to take the blame only made Remy more furious. "You're not fooling anyone, this was a plan between you and Enid. You'll face a harsher punishment," he snarled, ordering the guards

    MILDRED OFFCOURSE SHE IS NOT XIMENA I paced back and forth in the room, my mind racing with questions. Why did Enid look so worried? What could be so important that he had to cut our night short? We had plans, plans that didn't involve returning to the pack's headquarters until whenever. I felt a knot in my stomach, my wolf senses tingling with unease. As I paced, my feet carried me to the window, where I gazed out into the night. The stars twinkled, but my eyes saw only darkness. My thoughts were a jumbled mess, my emotions raw. I couldn't believe what Enid had just revealed - that my stepmother, Navaeh, had locked my wolf away all these years. The pain and anger I felt were overwhelming. Eventually, my back ached from pacing, and I collapsed onto the bed, covering myself with the duvet. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, and I let them fall, my body shaking with silent sobs. I didn't know how long I cried, but exhaustion finally claimed me, and I drifted off into a f

    ENIDMILDRED HAS A WOLFI couldn't contain my excitement. Today was going to be very beautiful and I just couldn't wait. I don't want to spill the tea to Mildred so I just asked her to get dressed but has been trying to ruin the surprise with too many questions."Where are we going?" she asked for the upteenth time, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."Somewhere special," I replied, my smile growing wider. "Just trust me."She laughed and chatted as she got ready, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy being around her. I helped her into the car and asked her to stay quiet.I signaled Courtney and she injected her with a sedative. I thanked Courtney and we drove to the forest, where Danda, a powerful shaman, was waiting for us.*"Mildred's wolf has been locked away," Danda revealed, his eyes looking serious. "Her stepmother's doing, no doubt." I was so shocked, how can someone penetrate such cruelty? What could she have done for him to have done that? She deserves to be punishe

    ELIASTHE CAT’S OUTTA THE BAG!I swirled the wine in my glass, the rich aroma filling my senses as I sat in Elder Remy's cozy sitting room. The warm glow of the fireplace lighting the room and it made it exude an aura of wealth, but my mind was far from at ease.I summoned the Elder himself, elder Remy had so much power and influence in the pack and I knew he would be the best person to help me with this. My thoughts raced with the weight of the secret I carried - the truth about Ximena. Or rather, the imposter who had been masquerading as her.I took a sip of the wine, the flavors dancing on my tongue as I gathered my thoughts. How could I break the news to Elder Remy, to the entire pack, that the woman they believed was their beloved Ximena was a fraud? That Enid, of all people, had been deceiving them all?I began to have double thoughts. What if that scares them and they deny me the throne too since we are related and have same bloodline? Not possible! They will trust me and see

Elias's betrayal cut me really deep, and I couldn't bear the thought of him ruining my reputation with whatever video he took of me, but Alexis's warm embrace and gentle words of encouragement comforted me. "Marcella, it's not the end of the world," she said, trying to make me feel better. "We'll find a way to make it through this without Elias soiling your name."I looked up at her, tears streaming down my face. "But how? He's going to ruin me, Alexis. I've come too far to let him win." My voice cracked, and I felt fresh hot tears tingling at the corners of my eyes.Alexis' facial gesture changed, I could tell an idea had clicked. "We'll set him up, Marcella. I'll act like I want to get down with him, and then I'll raise an alarm, saying he tried to molest me. We'll turn the tables on him, and he'll be the one who's left looking bad."I sniffled, considering her plan. It was risky, bu
