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
MILDREDI chuckled by the window which held the elegant view of the well-tended garden, staring out at the two chipmunks as they attempted to sneak down from the birches. They were cloaked in fear of being spotted and they were adorable to look at. They tend to entertain me that morning. It was a little over one week now since Enid had vehemently warned me to stay behind his closed doors. Where I was to pine away until the hundredth day of our marriage.I had obliged. Some days, I had my meals here and it was just on three occasions had he invited me to join the table. The three times were the days a few nobles came over for dinner.I was bored out of my mind. There was no nook to the room I didn't know now by heart. I sought great entertainment from the window and I remained there for most of my days. Now I was in his room all day, chances of me running into Marcella were now slim and Enid's secrets were preserved. His plan was going to work out the way they envisaged. I dared not
MILDREDChase stood in the middle of the living area, his attention was on his phone as his golden hair fell slightly forward. He was tall and handsome in a manner that warmed my heart just to think he was on my team. He wanted to be friends with me. His eyes swayed from his phone to where I stood by the landing, hesitating to head towards Enid's home office. Two things were involved: either Enid barked and went wild with rage for me attempting to leave his room or he would respect his friend's decision to let me out of that prison. Chase wore a jocular smile on his face which was quite infectious making me smile and wiping all the hesitations from me. I sucked in a breath and headed to get my husband for breakfast.A part of me prayed Enid wasn't in his home office. I did not want to face him, not after how cold he had been acting towards me lately. I did not want to stand the cold resentment in his eyes or have his condescending gaze flutter my way.My breath ragged as I stood be
MILDRED"Are you alright?" Chase was before me as I approached the table. Tears were in my eyes but I refused to let it drop. My mate had betrayed me in the worst way possible. Although he did not want me, although he had rejected me I still feel the pain of having my mate make love to another. "Did Enid say something hurtful?" Chase plodded concerned, clouding his blue eyes.I wagged my head and no matter how hard I tried, a forced smile just couldn't bare my teeth. It was hard to tell him Enid was busy with some other woman.Instead, I moved from Chase and took a seat by the table. The jet-black-haired dude by the table looked away from his phone to my face. My eyes narrowed at him in recognition. I scowled at him fighting the urge to spit on his face. I knew who he was. This nightmare unfolded because he chose to kidnap me.The brunette beside him smiled warmly at me. I wasn't in the mood to return smiles. All I wanted to do was shrivel into my mold and sob my eyes out. "Xim
ENIDAll through breakfast, my gaze wandered to Mildred's face. She seemed to have it going quite well with Chase. It was rare before Chase's playful side popped up, not even Marcella got that privilege but here Mildred was acting like a kid teased with candy. I quietly studied them. Quietly studied her from the rim of my glass, she looked happy from just talking with Chase, and whatever they had been talking about made her pout with the features of a kid. I did not miss it either, the grin she surreptitiously slid Chase before she wagged up the stairs. They repulsed me. She repulsed me. I thought of ways to send her off to the Omegas quarter without raising brows and tilting the attention of the elders and the entire Pack my way. I could endure her, just a little longer. She had lapses with me. She'd gone against me by leaving the room and had grossly offended me by dropping in on Ophelia and me that way. Ophelia was a perfect distraction from what I had going on in my life la
MILDREDPROJECT PSYCHO HUSBANDI lightly placed a soothing hand on the crook of my neck to ease the burning sensation and the bruise Enid's large palms caused. Enid was mad. He was pretty mad and I couldn't understand why. I was supposed to be mad at him. I caught him with another girl this morning and he didn't even bother to apologize. I had the right to be mad, not him. Even though our marriage was just a big mirage, I deserved to be respected. I deserved to be treated with the slightest respect as being spoken to softly and Enid taking his affairs outside. But here I was, left bruised on the floor and being treated in the worst way possible.He doubted my genuine friendship with Chase and accused me of flirting with him but how could I not act so friendly with someone who cared enough to smile my way? How could I not? Tears stung my eyes but I resisted the overwhelming urge to cry. Enid was gone but not from the room. I couldn't afford Enid walking back from the closet to see
MILDREDSELF-CONSUMMATION IS DIRTY!Enid moved from me leaving a void in my soul, making me feel empty without his stoic frame against me. I begged myself to recover from this unwelcoming arousal. I had never been this turned on in my entire life. I'd never felt I needed this deep inside of me. My lips quivered, and my teeth sank into my tongue hoping the pain would soothe my flaming body as my eyes helplessly watched Enid. I was unable to mask my needs now I had felt a little bit of him. Now his scent plagued my body. I wanted him more than I ever wanted anything. It was our mate bond. How come he was not feeling the same way? His claps brought my focus to his face. He clapped and snapped his fingers at me, gesturing to the abandoned box on the floor a few spaces away."Get to it. Stop acting weird." I could never do it. It wasn't how I ever planned to get my first orgasm so I remained pinned to the wall watching this outrageous man before. "I'm not doing it." I was plain and
MILDREDA LITTLE DESPERATION, A HUGE PAINEnid never left the window until the last wave of pleasure ebbed from my face. And until I headed to the bathroom to wash up.I was not expecting to meet him in the bedroom when stepped out of the closet in a fresh and crisp dress. I thought he'd be dressed and gone but he remained where he was by the window fully dressed in a pair of jeans and a white crew-neck shirt.He looked casual in a way I had never seen him. When my eyes snagged him he moved to me from the window."Did I do good?" I asked in a manner that suggested I was eager to find out if I was trying it on him next. All through the time I played with the toy Enid had been on my mind, I never ceased to Imagine what it would feel to have the actual thing. I did everything to be sure he thought I was good even though it had hurt really bad and had stretched me in a way that made me feel so sore even until now. All that mattered to me was getting to try it on him."You don't imagine
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
MARCELLAPLAN BI sobbed like a child who had been denied chocolate, feeling helpless and defeated. 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
