Zoe’s POVOh… no… not on my wedding day! I imagined myself screaming down the whole place. But I can’t contribute to making this day a disaster.Why bother about whatever happened outside? The priest already pronounced me and Alex as a couple.I watched with total disgust and hatred for the girl who ran in to cause such commotion. Looking at her sternly, I realized she was the girl I had punished alongside Sarah the other day.Her sharp mouth had gotten her into the mess, and a part of me just wished she hadn’t gotten into a deeper mess.If at all this whole thing happens to be a prank or payback for what I did to her, then she must have a death wish. I muttered under my breath.People started flocking out to see what happened outside and why she called out for help.“And where do you think you are going?” I asked Alex who was about to leave me and join everyone.He looked at me like I had asked the wrong question. But I honestly didn’t care. Who leaves their bride just because some
Annabel’s POVIt’s been days since the party event. Oriel told me how I was found lying alone in the woods. I wondered who saved me.According to Oriel, there were no traces of who hurt me or of the one who came to my aid. One thing I know for sure is that whoever saved me, took care of the blonde guy.Oriel had smuggled us through the back door, so, no one knew what happened at the party or that we were out in the first place.It’s a good thing they aren’t aware. I don’t want anyone to get worked up about me. I need to level up my game and start finding answers to my numerous questions.Suppose I can’t have the man I had loved with my whole heart in my previous life. I can at least seek to know the truth about my identity.My mind took a journey back to that night. Most of her words sounded mysterious, but what I saw felt real. I wonder if I was really sane at the time.“You are too blind to see the potential of being Liza and Annabel, aren’t you?” I remember vividly the contempt in
“Anny!” Fiona’s voice jerked me back to the present. “Oh… hi,” a fake smile dangling on my face.She moved close, her hands on my shoulder, “Can I have a sit?” her eyes fixed on me.“Yeah… sure. I mean, why not,” batting my eyelashes with each word I said. I ran my sweaty palms all over my pants.With the look in her eyes, it was pretty obvious she was concerned about what was happening to me.“Are you okay?” she took time. Enough time to drag each word and make them stick to my brain. “I am not okay Fiona. I am great!” a wide smile was all over my face, and my cheeks widened to the sides, revealing my really nice dentition.I inwardly prayed she buy the whole lie and let it slide. “Okay… just that you seemed to have zoned out. You know I was calling on you for a while, and you didn’t hear me,” she sighed heavily.“And right now, you look like something is bothering you. Did anything happen at the party?” she inquired, “Anything that I or your father should know about?”She knows how
Zoe’s POVI opened the door, “Damn… he’s not here too,” I was disappointed to be met with his absence.Where else could he be? He only told me Dad had asked to see him, and now it’s like he’s disappeared from everywhere.He should be long done seeing my father. But I think the only way to be sure about that is to check.I closed the door behind me and started working towards my Father’s office. As much as I’ve been trying to avoid him, I needed to ask him about Alex’s whereabouts.With each step toward my Dad’s office, I kept reminding myself I had to see him in order to see Alex.As long as he goes on talking about possible investigations into Annabel’s death, I will keep avoiding him as much as I can.I gently placed my hand on the doorknob and before I could turn it and go in, I heard what I needed. I instantly turned back.He was with someone and in the middle of their conversation, he had mentioned Alex’s whereabouts.Of all places to be, why would he be there?“Hey girl,” Rita’s
Being mad at Alex was one thing and, having to sit close to Dad during dinner was another.I put on the pink dress Rita got for me as a gift on her way here. Applied some make-up on my face to hide the emotions raging within me.It was a family dinner, and as much as I don’t have to look like it’s my wedding, I do have to look good. I slid my feet into the silver shoe that Mum got me on my last birthday. Putting on the shoe did bring back some memories including ones that had Annabel in.I can’t believe I’ve got to worry about her even after her death. Final look into the mirror, I closed my eyes, inhaled, and exhaled. Repeatedly told myself, no Annabel today. Just show up for dinner like you always do, put on your best smile like always, and put away the thought of her.I walked out of the room with a wide smile plastered all over my face. Yes, that is the look that put away any form of suspicion from my end.“You look stunning love,” Alex’s comment came the moment I set my feet in

Annabel Danny’s POVMy ears twitched to the soft moans coming from the room at the end of the long stairs. It’s none of my business right as I have important things to do rather than puck my nose into other people’s affairs. I was going to walk past as I was too excited to try on my long-awaited bridal clothes. It just got delivered and the joy of seeing the dress again was all over me. I was thrilled I was finally tying the knot with the love of my life.It was a white-laced gown flowing extensively behind me. I have seen it at the store and tried it on. But it still feels like I haven’t set my eyes on it.Zoe followed me to the store to pick up the dress and ask the designer for a few alterations. This was to make the dress to my perfect personal taste. Zoe and I aren’t best friends, she’s my step-sister and we never get along. However, these few weeks have been promising since she picked interest in the wedding preparations. She was ready to be part of my big day. I kept walking
“Alex!”The two jolted up in fear, but upon seeing me in sight, they seemed so unfazed, as if I had disrupted their happy moment, while Alex tried so hard to cover up his nakedness.I swallowed so hard that it hurt my throat. My eyes scanned through the room falling on the undies scattered at different angles of the room. The boxers I bought for Alex on his previous birthday stared right back at me amusingly. I looked over at Zoe who was staring daggers laced with venom and disgust. I should do that and not her. But, who am I? This weak daughter of Alpha Danny has never stood up to confront anyone.“Zoe, you were supposed to be my sister,” I scoffed while wiping the little drop of tears on my cheeks.I had always known she was as much trouble as her mother, and I should have known better when she suddenly became very nice and warm-hearted. For the past few weeks, I trusted Zoe, we’ve shared moments that hold so many beautiful memories, shared my thoughts, and my laughter with her, an

Zoe’s POVI looked at the exact replica of the dress I admired right from the day I set my eyes on it. Following Annabel to the store was not out of free will. I had gone to see her dress, and I couldn’t help but admit, she got eyes for nice things.She had Alex, she had the most beautiful wedding dress. She had all that I admire.I smiled at the thought of her finally out of my breathing space. “She’s no more your competitor Zoe,” I belly-laughed, “the nonentity is gone… gone forever,”My hand ran through the perfectly crafted neckline of my wedding dress, which was made of shining bridal lace. The dress was exquisitely overflowing from the back. Diamond diamond pearls meticulously covered the underburst right to the waistline.Besides the trimmings flowing from the top right side of the second length down to the hem of the dress, it’s almost sheer at the back was my favorite part of the dress.A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie. While trying to collect myself and let
No matter how strong the pull is, I’m never allowing her in my heart. She’s not deserving of me or my Luna title.A Luna is someone who sticks by your side, fights by your side, and stays with you while you lead the people.She’s no Luna material. Though inhabiting the body of someone who was my mate, her soul is not my mate’s soul. That is enough reason to kill every form of affection towards her.“You see this… this right here is one of the reasons I can never feel any affection towards you,” I said to her while picking the tip of my nose. “Who comes into the woods with a stranger you met at a party?”I tilted her head to the side, expecting a reply from her.I know it’s not possible as she had passed out, but I wonder how gullible she could be to land in this messy situation.“Aren’t you so daft?” my brows raised, “you should learn to do a good job hiding your identity,” I muttered, “If you continue to act so gullible like this, they’ll find out sooner or later,” I scoffed.“Do you
Leonard’s POVAllowing Lucil to be in control was the best decision I made. His passion for finding and rescuing her from whatever trouble was unmatched.I’ve never felt him so protective like this. It made me wonder if my wolf had been swapped without my consent or what.I don’t understand why he would care so much about someone whose identity is so shady. She’s fake and that’s the reality. The reality that Lucil is yet to accept.But the earlier Lucil realizes that the better for him. I don’t want him nagging and lecturing me about some mate’s bullshit.“Just this once Lucil,” I whispered, placing my hand on my ear. Hoping he’d listen to me. “We are never doing this again man. I know you are pretending not to hear me. But, this would be the first and last time I’d be dragged into this kind of situation,”I went on and on while Lucil chose to ignore my ranting. Lucil jumped the cliff that was supposed to be a barrier to entering this particular forest.My eyes widened. She can’t pos
