Scarlett pov "Elena?" I whispered, my face pale with shock, as I struggled to comprehend the sight before me. I rushed forward, arms open wide, but instead of a warm embrace, she pushed me away, her hands firm on my chest. I stumbled back, my hair whipping sideways as I collided with the door. "Why...why are you pushing me away?" I demanded, confusion and hurt etched on my face. "What are you doing here?" I asked again, but her response only added to my bewilderment. She looked at me with a mix of surprise and curiosity, shaking her head gracefully. "Who are you?" she countered, her question sending shivers down my spine. "Hey, miss, I brought you here to stay, not to cause trouble," Nyx said, gently grasping my wrist, but I pulled away, crossing my arms under my chest and turning to face him. "What now? Are you saying I'm causing trouble? That's my friend Elena! Don't make me feel like I'm losing my mind," I exclaimed, playfully punching his chest. He winced, groaning loudly. "Ouch... that could crack my bones, be careful, miss," he said, his voice husky, revealing his vulnerability to pain, a trait uncommon in his kind. Nyx gestured towards the door, and I nodded, still gazing at Elena, while he followed closely behind me. As we entered the house, Elena's eyes never left mine, her expression a mix of confusion and curiosity. "So, you're saying we're friends?" she asked, her voice laced with skepticism. I nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, we were inseparable! We shared everything, from secrets to dreams. You were my rock, Elena." Elena's gaze drifted to Nyx, then back to me. "I don't remember any of that," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "And, by the way, my name is Katherine, not Elena," she said abruptly, gesturing to the cup of water I had accidentally spilled on the floor. The sudden change of name left me stunned. "Why did you change your name?" I demanded, my voice rising in confusion. And then, a wave of panic washed over me. "Where's my son, Henry?" I exclaimed, jumping up from my seat and frantically scanning the room. It was as if I had been living a lie, and everything I thought I knew was crumbling around me. Nyx, who had been quietly observing the exchange, finally spoke up, his eyes still fixed on his phone. "Tell her you don't know what she's talking about," Katherine, his voice firm, as if instructing Katherine to deny any knowledge of my claims. "How can I explain anything to her when you've brought a... a disturbed person into my home?" Katherine exclaimed, her voice rising in frustration. "Did I say disturbed? I mean, a madwoman! Did you expect me to justify myself further?" She glared at me, her eyes blazing with anger. "See, what's your name, miss? I am not Elena! Can't you grasp that?" As she yelled, the veins in her neck bulged, and her face reddened. I sighed heavily, my heart racing as I watched her genuine distress, tears streaming down her face. "Do you understand now?" she finally asked, her voice calm and laced with a hint of desperation. I nodded slowly, trying to process the situation. "I understand that you're not Elena, Katherine. But I need to know, what's going on? Why did Nyx bring me here? And what's happened to my son, Henry?" Katherine's expression softened slightly, but her eyes still held a hint of wariness. "I don't know anything about your son, I swear. And as for Nyx, he's... a complicated person. He's been helping me with some issues, but I didn't know he was bringing you here." "Oh my goodness, she still doesn't get it!" Katherine exclaimed, throwing up her hands in frustration. She stormed out of the living room, only to return with a box, which she dumped onto the floor and table, spilling out a flurry of pictures. "Look at all these photos! Here's my mom, here's my dad. What more proof do you need? If you don't believe me, then leave! Use the door!" I stood up, my eyes scanning the room in frustration, before landing on the wine cellar. I stumbled towards it, my movements sluggish, and selected a bottle of 100% alcohol. The glasses clinked together as I poured myself a drink, the sound echoing in my ears. I downed the glass in one swift motion, gasping as the pungent smell wafted out of my mouth. I needed something to clear my head. Katherine's expression softened slightly as she watched me struggle to compose myself. "Maybe we should start from the beginning," she said, her voice a little gentler. "I don't know what Nyx told you, but I think we've got our wires crossed." I nodded, still trying to process everything. "I thought you were my friend Elena," I admitted, feeling a mix of emotions. "I thought we had a history together." Katherine shook her head. "I'm sorry, but that's not me. I don't know what kind of relationship you had with Elena, but I'm Katherine. I've never met you before in my life." I took a deep breath, trying to wrap my head around this new information. "Okay, Katherine. Let's start from scratch. "I'm Scarlett," I began, catching myself before revealing too much. "I'm... sorry, I made a mistake calling you my friend." I apologized, offering a sheepish smile. I hastily retreated to the wine cellar, pouring myself another glass of liquor and downing it swiftly. "Sorry about that," I said calmly, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. Katherine waved it off, her voice firm and confident. "It's fine, Scarlett. People can look alike, I suppose." I nodded, still trying to wrap my head around the situation, and pulled Katherine into a hug. My mind was reeling with the revelation that Elena had a doppelganger.

Chapter 6 Katherine pov I found myself uncomfortable with the woman's gaze, which seemed to linger on me. Her intense stare, accompanied by dramatic eye rolls, made me feel uneasy. I would often force a smile when our eyes met. Scarlett's gruff tone was unmistakable as she said, “How does it feel to live alone, like a loner?” The emphasis on the word “loner’ sparked a defensive response within me, but I chose to laugh it off. “That's my problem to deal with, don't you think?” I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm as I shrugged my shoulders and pocketed my hands. I turned to escape into a book, but my solitude was short-lived. A gentle hand on my shoulder sent shivers down my spine, and I spun around to face Scarlett, my eyes wide with surprise. “How did you get here?” I asked, my voice laced with astonishment. She replied simply, “I walked.'" The sound of footsteps on the stairs caught our attention, and we both turned to look in that direction. “Nyx,” I whispered, smiling at

Scarlett povAs I stepped into the new building, my mind was totally preoccupied with that wild woman who looked just like Elena. Please, let it not be Elena trying to play games with me; I would never let her live that down."Welcome, Scarlett, to my little abode," she greeted, all calm and collected, her smile shining like she was trying to sell me a house. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, brushing off her overly friendly vibe."Thanks, miss," I managed to mutter, my lips twitching as a reluctant smile threatened to escape.“It’s all good! Katherine has mentioned you a lot; maybe we could be friends. I…” she trailed off, her brow scrunching up in thought. I found myself at a loss for words, caught off guard."Miss," I called softly, motioning to her as she nervously fidgeted with her fingers. A wave of guilt hit me; maybe I was being too harsh. I wrapped my arms around her, lifting her chin to meet my gaze, and noticed a tear resting on my palm."Wait, were you crying?" I asked, my

Chapter 8Scarlett povIt's a new week, and it's time to get ready for work. Marina landed me a sales position at a supermarket to hold me over until she can find something better in an office. I realize that's just a dream for someone like me, who feels uneducated and out of place.I was still rolling around in bed, completely naked. My hands sluggishly reached for the duck-shaped alarm clock, struggling to silence it. With a heavy sigh, I glanced at the main wall clock, blinking in disbelief at the time. "Crap!" I shouted, quickly swinging my legs off the bed. A sharp pain shot through me as my skin pinched. What was that? I wondered, gently probing the mattress with my hands.My heart raced as I rubbed the sore spot. I then shuffled to the wardrobe to slip into a revealing dress. My stomach growled, and I felt lightheaded as I stumbled toward the wardrobe, my legs moving without much thought."Scarlett!

Scarlett pov“Oh, honey! Werewolf claws, can you believe it? Snagged them from the store down the street, and I just know you’re about to lose it! Just kidding,” my voice was barely a whisper because I was still trying to pull myself together. Seriously, it was wild how she just waltzed into my room like she owned the place without even knocking. I shot her a look while I stayed curled up on the floor, hoping the clueless wonder would take the hint and scream. “Alright, since you’re obsessed with werewolves, I guess I’ll be on my way.” She looked all kinds of confused, but I could see the suspicion brewing in her eyes. “Marian!” I called out as she turned to make her exit.“What’s up, Scarlett?”“I’ll catch the bus or something to work, so don’t stress about me.” “Oh, I’m not worried at all. Just get your butt off the floor and put some clothes on. I’ll be waiting outside.”I nodded, blinking like a lost puppy, trying to nudge her out the door with my head. “I’m on my way out

Her eyes danced on my chest like a lost lamb. She was unpredictable and funny, and I felt at ease with her demeanor. Her gaze and smiles were infectious. We weren't particularly close, yet there was a strong bond between us. I couldn't dismiss the feelings; they were intense, igniting my desire and revealing unfamiliar emotions. All I could think about was tasting her and hearing her whisper my name.We remained on the couch, our eyes locked, my eyelids fluttering as a smile broke through. "What? You shouldn't look at me like that!" she teased, tracing her fingers along my lips. "I want you, Katherine," I replied, meeting her gaze.She caressed my hair softly, leaning in closer, and I pressed my lips against hers.Katherine's eyes sparkled as our mouths met, sending tingles through me. Her soft kiss deepened, and I

Scarlett povThe morning breeze rushed through my window, rattling the glasses and creating a cacophony of sounds that made it impossible for me to focus. My mind felt jumbled, and I tossed and turned on my pillow, clutching it tightly as the familiar scent enveloped me. I squint one eye open to sneak a glance at the clock.“What the heck!” I exclaimed, leaping out of bed with my heart pounding in my chest. I was already running late. Normally, I wouldn’t care about what the store owner thought, but Marian had a knack for inserting herself into my life. Just as I was lost in thoughts of her, I heard her voice echoing from the hallway.“Scarlett! Are you ready? It’s timeee…” she called out, stretching the word "time" for dramatic effect.If I had the luxury of time, I would have tackled the laundry piling up around me. The sight of dirty clothes scattered everywhere made me uneasy, and a wave of longing for my family washed over me. I felt a sense of discomfort as I slowly pulled a cha

Chapter 12 Scarlett povThe sensation on my skin made my hair stand on end with unease. A man in dark sunglasses, hands tucked into his pockets, approached me. He felt otherworldly, radiating an energy that was hard to define."Hey, princess, can you hand me the cake posh? A customer needs it," a colleague called out, waving his hands. But my attention was solely on the man coming closer. I lost my balance on the stool I was using to organize the store's products. I took a deep breath as my colleague hurried over, his hand brushing against the man who was slowly making his way toward me."Oh, sorry, sir!" my colleague said, but the man only smirked in response."Scar..." he began to say my name, but I interrupted him, my jaw dropping in disbelief. "What’s with that look?" he asked."Nothing, it’s not your concern."He shrugged, opened the door, grabbed the cake posh, and walked away. I stepped back, wanting to avoid any connection. If he was indeed supernatural, he might sense m

The man from the store was following me, and I couldn't quite understand what was happening. An unsettling tension hung in the air, emanating a menacing energy from him.I stole a glance back before redirecting my attention to the driver. “Excuse me, sir, could you take me to your home?” I stressed the word "homeless" to clarify my predicament. I let out a heavy sigh, my eyes drifting back to the man who was now anxiously pacing in the adjacent lane.“Sorry, ma'am, can…” he stammered as I slipped into his car. I slammed the door behind me, catching a flash of fear on his face, but I brushed it off. “Can you start the car and drive, Mr.?” I said firmly, placing my hand on the driver's seat. I didn’t intend to intimidate him, but his expression revealed too much.“Alright, ma'am, I’ll take you to my house,” he replied with a calm demeanor, and I smiled back. “Good, let’s go,” I commanded, a wave of anxiety washing over me as I glanced in the side mirror to check on the man.“Wait!

Initially, I assumed he had gone for a run or to get breakfast, but as the hours passed without any sign of him, my worry deepened.I attempted to call him, but his phone went directly to voicemail. Texts went unanswered, and I even checked his usual hangouts, but he was nowhere to be seen.Eventually, I made the decision to report him missing to the police. However, when I arrived at the station, they informed me that they couldn't initiate a search until 24 hours had elapsed.Twenty-four hours! It felt like a lifetime. What if something had happened to him? What if he was injured or in peril?The thought was unbearable. I felt utterly helpless and powerless. All I wanted was for Finn to come back, safe and sound.As I sat there, overwhelmed with grief, I

I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.There was a pause on the other end of the line before Katherine responded, her tone calm and collected. "Yes, Scarlett, I did. I had to know what was going on."I felt a surge of fear mixed with anger. "Katherine, how could you? You know what he's like. He won't forgive you for this."Katherine's laughter was like a slap in the face. "Oh, Scarlett, you're so dramatic. I can handle Finn."I gritted my teeth, trying to keep my cool. "You don't understand, Katherine. Finn is not someone to be trifled with. He's... he's not human."There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, I thought I had lost the connection. But then Katherine spoke up, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, please, Scarlett. You're not going to tell me that Finn is a vampire or some

I sighed heavily as I walked along the desolate street, hoping that my contacts would provide me with information regarding Scarlett's whereabouts. I lifted my eyes to the night sky, feeling the chill of the evening air against my skin. I chose not to focus on the darker parts of the street, as I sensed she was nearby.I moved purposefully through the empty streets, my gaze searching the misty alleys for any indication of Scarlett's presence. My associates had let me down, and I could feel my frustration boiling just beneath the surface. They would face consequences for their incompetence.As I rounded a corner, I noticed them lurking in the shadows, visibly shaken by my fury. I smirked, revealing my teeth in a predatory manner."You fools," I growled, my tone low and threatening. "You were meant to capture her, not allow her to esc

Scarlett povI felt a wave of anxiety wash over me after having a disturbing dream about my son, Henry, so I decided to reach out to his father, Markus. As always, I was careful to move quietly around the house, ensuring Katherine wouldn’t discover that I was fine, just pretending everything was normal while she occupied the kitchen.I held the phone to my ear, pacing back and forth in my small room as Markus’ voice crackled through the line. My hands were sweaty, and my heart raced as if it wanted to escape my chest. I bit my lip, glancing at the door every few moments. Katherine was just outside, humming a cheerful tune in the kitchen. Her voice could sour milk.When Markus finally picked up, his tone was as icy and indifferent as usual.“What do you want, Scarlett?”I brushed off the bite in his voice and took a deep breath. "It’s about Henry. I had a troubling dream about him. Something felt… wrong."He let out a scoff. I could almost hear him rolling his eyes. “Scarlett, not this

Nyx povKatherine, please hear me out. I am truly sorry; I never intended to break your heart like this. It was never my plan, I promise.As I stood there, paralyzed by regret, Katherine's gaze burned with intensity. Her voice dripped with venom, each word a sharp blade aimed at my very core."Don't you dare come near me, Nyx," she hissed, her body shaking with fury. "I've sacrificed so many relationships because I couldn't concentrate without you. You're like a constant noise in my life, a reminder of everything I've ever desired but could never attain."A wave of guilt washed over me, my heart weighed down by my wrongdoings. I reached out, uncertain whether to comfort her or give her the distance she needed.But Katherine wouldn’t allow it. She recoiled, her eyes flashing with rage. "Don't touch me," she warned, her voice low and menacing. "You've hurt me for the last time, Nyx."I felt a sharp sting, as if I had been struck. I knew I deserved it; I had caused her deep pain. Yet, th

Marian povI nestled closer to Finn, unable to find sleep; the nightmare I faced was nothing compared to my current turmoil.I pressed against Finn, attempting to dispel the fear that clung to me. Yet, I couldn't shake the sensation of being observed. Each creak of the house and every rustle of leaves outside sent jolts of anxiety through me.Finn wrapped his arm around me tighter, drawing me in. "It's alright," he murmured gently. "I'm here. You're safe."But I didn't feel safe. Not truly. I had witnessed something tonight that haunted me. A creature, a being that was beyond comprehension. Now, every time I closed my eyes, its face and its eyes invaded my thoughts.I fought to dismiss those images, trying to concentrate on Finn's warmth and reassurance. Still, my mind was a chaotic swirl of fear and unease, making it impossible to relax.As the hours passed, my eyelids grew heavy, but sleep eluded me. The memories of what I had encountered lingered too vividly.Eventually, fatigue ov

I had not anticipated that my new human girlfriend would be aware of my true identity. The pain was excruciating, and I found it impossible to restrain myself.As the explosion echoed through the trees, I sensed my body beginning to change. The full moon loomed above, casting an unsettling light over the turmoil. I struggled to resist the transformation, but the agony was overwhelming. My muscles throbbed in distress as my bones began to realign.I staggered, my vision fading, and that was when I caught sight of her. Marian, my girlfriend, stood paralyzed with fear, her gaze locked onto me.

My senses sharpened, and I could detect the fear radiating from Marian. I

Nyx povI stood outside Marian's door, my fist raised as I knocked urgently on the wood. The sound reverberated down the hallway, a desperate call for her to let me in, to hear me out. My voice, strained from the emotional chaos inside me, broke as I pleaded."Marian, please... I need to speak with you. I want to make amends." I took a moment to breathe deeply, trying to quell the turmoil within. Tears threatened to spill as I reflected on the hurt I had caused her.The door remained unmoving, a barrier to the feelings and truths waiting on the other side. I leaned against the frame, resting my forehead on the cool surface, releasing a heavy sigh. Why wouldn’t she respond? Didn’t she realize how much she meant to me?In that moment, I replayed the events that had brought me here. The confusion, the doubt, the fear of causing pain to those I cared about. It all led to this chaotic situation, with Marian at the heart of it, her spirit wounded by my choices.I recalled the look in her ey
