2024-10-29 19:42:56I stood in front of the mirror, tugging at the hem of the white dress that hung awkwardly on my body. The fabric was scratchy against my skin, and I couldn't help but feel out of place in it. It was clear that this dress was not made for me; it was a hand-me-down from my sister, who had a better figure than me.
As I fidgeted with the neckline, trying to make it suit just right, I couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling that settled in my stomach. This wasn't what I would have chosen to wear to meet Alexander, it was given by my mom. She handed me the dress with an evil smile, saying that she would not be wasting any of her time or money on getting me a new dress.
I sighed as I smoothed down the skirt; it didn't matter how uncomfortable or out of place I felt in this dress because I didn't have a choice but to wear it; if I walked out in anything other than what my mother had chosen for me, she would punish me worse than ever before.
The sickening feeling in my stomach kept growing stronger the more I thought about wearing my sister's dress in front of the man that I was being forced to marry. With one last glance at myself in the mirror, I took a deep breath and headed out the door to go and meet him, trying my best to hold my head high.
As I entered the grand hall where Alexander was waiting, my heart pounded in my chest.
He turned to look at me, and for a moment, his expression softened. But as I walked closer and he could clearly see my face, his eyes became extremely cold. I knew that him seeing me in this dress would hurt him and my heart broke for him. it would have all been a part of my mother's horrible plan to try and stop this marriage.
"You really are trying to replace her, aren't you?" he said quietly, his voice laced with hate.
I bit my lip, feeling the sting of tears threatening to spill over. "No, I swear I'm not," I whispered, willing him to believe me.
But he just shook his head and turned away, leaving me standing there feeling like a fraud in my sister's dress. The weight of everyone's expectations of me was suffocating as I struggled to hold back my emotions.
"I'm sorry, Alpha Alexander", I blurted out, trying to stop him from leaving. He stopped in his traps, standing there and waiting for me to go on. "I know that you loved Cas..." I stopped not wanting to say her name because even though she had bullied me my whole life, there was still a part of me that missed her, and just saying her name hurt me.
he turned to look at me, he tried to hide his emotions from me, but I could see the hurt in his eyes. "Her name was Cassandera" he spat at me as he walked toward me, his voice filled with venom. "Say her name" he ordered, waiting for me to do as I was told.
My heart was pounding harder than ever before, fear overtaking every part of my body as I stood there frozen in front of him.
"Say her name!" he emphasized, making me step away from him.
"Cassandra, my sister's name is Cassandra", I spat out, my voice filled with fear and sadness. That was the first time I had spoken her name since the day she died. I kept my head low, looking down at the ground, trying to hide the single tear that had escaped me.
I could feel his eyes burning into me as he stood there staring down at me. "You shouldn't be wearing your sister's clothes. You look like her now, but you're not her."
I never wanted to replace my sister and it eats away at me that no one ever believed me. I lowered my head further, unable to speak because I knew that if I did, I would lose control of my emotions.
His cold fingers lifted my chin, forcing my eyes to meet his. "You know, I promised your sister I would never love another woman."
his words pierced through me. The pain of losing Cassandera even though it had been two years was still fresh, and I knew that Alexander's heart belonged to her and always would. Unlike most he had chosen to love her they weren't fated together like most werewolves. I couldn't bear the thought of being a replacement for her, no matter how much my father and the packs wanted this marriage it was crushing me inside. I stayed silent.
"And I will keep that promise to her", he spat at this voice filled with promise.
"I always know that," I whispered, trying to keep my voice steady despite the tears threatening to spill over. "I don't want to come between you and her memory."
"Then tell me why you're trying to pretend to be your sister by wearing your sister’s clothes." His words were still cold and questioning.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to do it, my mom forced me to wear this dress." I tried to explain, "Please believe me."
"How could you expect me to believe someone who tried to seduce me at your sister's funeral." The pressure from Alexander made me breathless.
"No. No. I never thought of doing this. It was a misunderstanding." I shook my head desperately and argued for myself.
"You're not worthy of wearing this dress." Alexander turned to leave.
His words stung my heart so hard that I felt tons of pain crushing me.
Looking at his leaving figure, I finally chose not to explain.
"Alexander", I called out, making him stop. "I'm sorry to remind you of painful memories. I feel the same for losing my sister." He had no trust in me but I still wanted to say something.
He hunched his shoulders for a second before straightening up and disappearing through the grand hall doors.

I don't know why, but my wolf is crazily infatuated with her. My wolf has never acted in this way to Cassandra.Olivia is the younger sister of my dead wife. I shouldn't have any feelings for her, and neither should my wolf, especially since I promised Cassandra that I wouldn't fall in love with another woman again. I find myself watching Olivia sometimes from a distance, my wolf always telling me to want her the same way it does.Sitting in my study, trying to focus on my work, the voice of my wolf started whispering in my mind."She's so beautiful, Alexander. Can't you see that?"I shook my head, trying to push away the thoughts that were flooding my mind. "No, we can't do this. She's off limits.""But why? You deserve happiness, too. And she stirs something in me that I can't ignore. Please, just consider it," the wolf pleaded.I rubbed my

Alexander's PovFor some reason, when I saw another man touching Olivia, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed. I took her away from Victor. I didn't care if he was only looking at the colour of her eyes; I didn't want him or any other man near her. Taking her over to a deserted corner, I held her close to me as I stared down into her eyes, which were filled with surprise and confusion."What are you doing?" Olivia asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. It was clear by her question and how tense her body was that being this close to me made her uncomfortable. "I don't want anyone else touching you," I replied, my tone firm and possessive. Without giving her a chance to speak, I leaned in and captured her lips with mine. The kiss was intense, fuelled by the emotions that had been building up inside me.At first, Olivia seemed taken aback by me kissing her after all I hardly kissed her at all. But as our lips moved together, she melted into my arms, slowly starti

Alexander stood before me, his eyes cold and accusing."Why are you lying to me, Olivia?" he growled, his voice laced with anger. "You know what you did to my wife.""I didn't do anything!" I protested, tears welling in my eyes. "She was cruel to me, but I could never kill her. She was my sister and despite all the horrible things she did to me, I loved her."Alexander's expression changed from rage to a terrifying calm."Shut up! How can you say that about your sister? Slandering Cassandra will only make it worse for you." He looked at me with dark eyes, and what he said broke my heart again. "someone saw you fighting with her the day before you died and that you were alone with her hours before when she went into labour, and everything went wrong."Cassandra was always a kind and pure person in his heart. And I was framed for her murder and no one believed me.Panic gripped my heart as I sta

I got up and crept over to the door, trying my hardest not to make a sound.I pressed my ear against the door, straining to hear what they were saying. The woman's voice was familiar - it was Rebecca."I'll make it worth your while," she said, her voice dripping with greed. "Just get rid of her quietly and quickly. I don't want any loose ends.""But what if Alpha finds out?" one guard whispered, his voice filled with fear.Rebecca's tone turned sharp and commanding. "Alpha won't find out if you do it right. And trust me, it will be worth your while.""Just tell Alexander that she was trying to escape, and you had no choice. think of all the riches and power that will come your way if you do this for me," Rebecca continued.I clenched my fists, anger bubbling up inside me at the betrayal unfolding

Slowly opening my eyes, everything was blurry. I looked around, seeing that I was in a hospital room with white walls and beeping machines surrounding me. Panic started to set in as I tried to piece together what had happened. My head was pounding, and my memory was foggy. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my body, causing me to wince."Olivia, you're awake," a familiar voice said from beside me. I turned my head to see Victor sitting in a chair next to my bed, his eyes filled with relief."What...what happened?" I managed to croak out, my throat dry and scratchy."you've been in a coma for a week", he said softly as he took my hand in his. he went on telling me how he had found me and made the choice to bring me back to his kingdom with him, only some of his words sinking in as my mind flashed back to me escaping.

Alexanders povThe morning had barely begun, yet the weight of the world pressed heavily on our shoulders as Olivia and I walked down to the triplet alphas' office. The hallway was alive with murmurs, everyone eager to thank Olivia. Each gesture of gratitude was a vital reminder of just how much we owed her. The warmth in their eyes contrasted sharply with the shadow of worry that clung stubbornly to her face."Olivia," a young omega called, offering a shy smile as we passed. "Thank you for saving us."Olivia nodded, though her eyes betrayed her restlessness. I could feel her tension like an electric current between us. The dream she had last night weighed on her like lead, and I understood her fear—it was the fear that gnawed at me, too. Our thoughts were locked on our children, Liam and Sarah, who were miles away in the city, possibly at the mercy of dark rogues.As we entered the office, the room was already buzzing with discussions on our next move.

Olivia's povI found a spot overlooking the pack grounds, where I could see the far horizon painted with hues of twilight. Sitting down, exhaustion overwhelmed me. My body ached from the turmoil of the past days, and my eyelids were heavy, struggling to remain open. Despite knowing I should stay alert, sleep tugged at me with relentless persistence. Just a moment, I told myself, my eyes slipping shut as I drifted off.In an instant, I was home, laughter echoing around me. Liam and Sarah, my joyful twins, ran ahead, their giggles a balm to my weary soul. Chasing after them, I called out, the evening's gentle glow transforming suddenly as the sky turned an ominous shade of black."Time to come inside!" I shouted, but only their laughter answered. Confusion churned in my gut as I searched the darkening landscape. The shadows around swirled, their movements taunting and elusive. Panic flared sharply as the twins' laughter ceased, replaced by silence."Liam! Sarah!" I yelled, desperation c

Olivia's povWith my heart drumming loudly in my ears, I watched Victor. He lay still, his breathing shallow as the Glass warmth kissed his lips. My hands lingered close, trembling with uncertainty. "Drink, Victor, please," I urged softly, my voice barely above a whisper, a prayer wrapped in hope.I held my breath, time moving languidly, stretching uneasily around us. The weight of the moment pressed heavily upon my shoulders. Each heartbeat felt like an endless echo, my pulse a desperate chorus in the quiet room. And just when doubt threatened to choke me, Victor’s lips parted softly. His throat moved, taking in the liquid, a small sip at first, then another. Relief washed over me, the tension slowly uncoiling as I watched the colour gradually begin to return to his cheeks. With every drop he swallowed, I felt the oppressive heat that had wrapped around him like chains begin to diminish.I didn’t allow myself to get too hopeful, not yet—not until I was sure.

Olivias povI turned sharply, and the chill that ran down my spine got colder when I saw what the panic in Alexander's eyes was about. On the floor lay Victor, my brother, motionless. Alexander was kneeling beside him, urgently checking his pulse."Victor!" I cried out, racing to his side. My heart pounded so loudly that it drowned out any other noise. Kneeling down, I reached for his hand. It was cold and clammy, a stark contrast to the fever emanating all around us. A knot tightened in my stomach."He collapsed just now," Alexander explained, urgency bleeding into his tone. His hand was on Victor's chest, listening to the shallow rise and fall of his breath. "He must have tried to hide how he was feeling to help the others."A heavy, suffocating wave of fear threatened to pull me under. Victor was always the strongest, the rock of our family, alongside our shared purpose to protect. Seeing him so vulnerable was a blow I wasn't prepared for.At that moment, only one thought pulsed th

Olivias pov"What's happening, Victor?" I asked, my voice steady despite the fear and panic swirling inside of me.He hesitated, eyes flickering with an emotion I couldn't quite decipher—worry, seriousness. "It's the pack," he finally said, each word carrying the gravity of bad news. "Many of them are very sick—and it's spreading fast."My heart thudded, a drum pounding within my chest. "Sick? How?" I pressed, urgency soaring through every syllable."It started an hour ago with the members who were near the fire, inhaling the smoke. We just thought that it was from breathing in too much of that toxic smoke and would go away once they got some fresh air and rest," Victor explained, his eyes briefly meeting mine, filled with uncharacteristic vulnerability. "But now it's spreading wider, reaching even those who were not directly affected."Panic began its insidious climb within me. "We need to see them," Alexander interjected, his voice a steady beacon of purpose.Victor nodded, leading

Olivia's povI stood on the balcony, watching the grey clouds climb higher—the leftover ashes of the dark burning up. The sharp smell filled the air, making it hard to breathe, yet it was a burden we had to carry. As much as I wanted to rest, a nagging feeling kept me awake. The rogues haunted us, their threats hiding in every shadow, reminding us of the danger we faced.The night quickly draped around us, its shadows reaching out like curious hands, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave the sight of the smoke rising into the evening sky. Frustration threatened to overflow; I was exhausted beyond words, yet adrenaline kept me tied to what lay below. Each heartbeat carried the hope that this would be the end of it.A soft sound broke the silence, and I turned to see Alexander standing there, concern softly marking his face. His presence was warmth against the cold pressing in, and I fought the urge to collapse into his arms."You should be asleep, Olivia," he said, his voice gentle.I s

"Olivia," a familiar voice called from behind, pulling me from my racing thoughts. I turned to see Cole, the triplet Alpha I had saved, his face ghostly pale with a mixture of gratitude and weariness."Cole," I greeted softly, recalling the brief flash of fear in his eyes during the attack. We both stood amidst the chaos, a silent kinship forming from shared survival. "Are you alright?"He nodded, though the faint tremor in his hands betrayed him. "Thanks to you, yes," he replied, his voice steadying as he met my gaze. "I owe you my life, Olivia. We all do."A part of me wanted to shrug off his gratitude, to dismiss it as simply doing wha

I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of Aura—the spirit wolf that resided within me—pulsing through my veins, guiding me with an insistent urgency. Her strength was always there, whispering truths only I could hear. But now, her voice filled me with dread, a low hum that demanded action.With breaths heavy and sure, I called upon Aura, letting her essence flow through me. Reality blurred at the edges as the world around me disappeared in a kaleidoscope of swirling lights and shadowy figures.
