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

    “How dare you, Anny?” Dad’s words came with a resounding slap that landed me right on the floor. The train of my dress was now tangled with my toes and I was struggling to free my leg from the cluster of the dress.My gaze went up instantly as I heard a familiar voice that held so much mockery, “Dad, she’s a total shame to this family,” Zoe was standing right in front saying what I couldn’t understand. She should be ashamed and not me, what was she saying then?With all the strength I could garner, I tried standing so I could ask what was going on, but another slap from my father glued me to the ground. “Why are you standing, you criminal?” Second painful slap in a few minutes without the knowledge of what I had done. “Dad, you can’t keep slapping me, what have I done?” I found myself asking amidst sobs.“Why are you pretending Anny? I’ve already informed everyone of your shameless acts. How you have been sleeping around with different male members of the park, including how you were

    Leonard’s POVI stood from my seat immediately Alpha Nicholas entered my room. “Leonard, we need to go,” I couldn’t understand the underlying emotion in his voice. I sincerely hoped it was worth the wait and I haven’t lost Elizabeth.Closing the door behind me, I caught up with Alpha Nick on his track. He turned slightly while walking towards the exit “The doctor asked to see us, but I don’t why,” he said as he continued in his tracks.It better be for a good course. Elizabeth lying there for months has caused me many internal damages. Like, I wasn’t ready to let go of the sweetest soul that I have encountered. As if Alpha Nick was reading my mind, he patted my shoulder assuringly.I could see the young girls outside the compound smiling and giggling. I wondered how they would react if they lost Liza. We’ve all waited for her to come back to us very soon, and going into the doctor’s segment of the park commanded a new wave of hope.“Emm… Liza… she’s awake…” I didn’t wait for him to fi

    REALITY KICKS INAnnabel Danny’s POVFor the umpteenth time, I shot a glance at myself through the mirror. I can’t believe this is me, no matter the number of times I try to accept my new reality.I look so damn hot! I wore a flowing dress, the fabric swirled around my legs with each graceful step. It was a deep shade of black that stuck to my body like my second skin. A visible deep V cut made the curves of my breasts swell, and its hem fluttered like a whisper with every movement.I grabbed the oxblood bag and slipped on oxblood heels. I double checked my deep shade of burgundy hair that was loosely pinned up, with soft tendrils framing my face. Rubbing the back of my neck as if it’d make me less nervous, I made my way out of the room.The sound of my heels tapping against the polished floor gave me out as everyone shifted their gaze to me. My breath caught in my throat at the number of people that swarmed the pack house.“To the Moon Goddess who decided to return Elizabeth to us!”

    Leonard’s POVLiza’s body was right in front of me, her familiar features, the softness of her hair, the curve of her lips, but the eyes that met mine are so different. They are cold, distant and possess a depth that chills me to the core.I couldn’t keep my cool any longer, “Just tell me the truth, I freaking know you are not Liza. Who the hell are you?” her eyes widened in shock as she remained fixed on spot, batting her eyes like a startled deer caught in the glare of oncoming headlights.It was as if her mind was battling to process what she was hearing, her lashes fluttering rapidly in disbelief, trying to blink away the impossibility before her.“I… I don’t know what… you are talking about Leo,” she stuttered trying to hide her nervousness and fear of her being exposed. “Who are you?” I demanded, my voice a mixture of desperation and anger. I took a step closer, and she took a step back. I clenched my fists, struggling to keep my composure. “What have you done to her?” I increa

    Annabel’s POVThe afternoon light streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the elegant space. I had joined the pack warriors earlier to train, and it felt so good to know this body was a very strong one. After having a shower, I was now leisurely dressed in a flowing gown of light blue silk, the fabric catching the light as I moved. Liza’s wardrobe is so full of nice dresses, that I have to dress like I’m attending an event even at home.The dress was simple yet exquisite, its design tailored to highlight my natural beauty. Delicate lace trimmed the neckline, and a satin ribbon was tied at the waist. The air was calm, but there was an undercurrent of tension.I was deep in thought as I hadn’t heard from Leonard. Probably he had left for his pack. I understand his pain, he had waited for his beloved for four good months, only to realize she was no longer the person he was mated to.My long hair cascaded freely down my back, framing my face with a softness that belied

    Annabel’s POV“Pretty Liza, up for a challenge?” I instantly looked back to be met by the view of a grinning Chris. If there’s one thing I like about this park, it’s surely Chris. I still feel unsafe with people, but there is this peace I can’t place my hands on around him.“Sure! Why not? I replied with a subtle smile on my face.We chatted as we walked down to the arena that is situated in the middle of the park. The arena has so many segments, ranging from adult warriors, kids, the Alpha family, the Beta family, and the general arena for members of the park.My gaze drifted to the kids' arena and it caught sight of a little boy fighting with all his might, he kept standing after every pull-down. His actions made me stop in my tracks.“Isn’t it funny how these kids have such great dreams at such tender ages?” Chris asked as I stopped walking.“I find it amusing Chris,” my mind flashed back to the dream I used to have as a kid, and nostalgia settled on my face for a second. “I’m gla

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

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.
