"You don't actually like that woman, do you? I'm the better choice for you,"
I was about to knock on the door when I heard a familiar woman's voice.
I was here at Alexander's study to ask him his opinion on something about the up-and-coming ball we are holding here for Alpha Victor from the neighboring kingdom.
I pause, taking a step forward to look through the crack that's in the door, seeing my sister's best friend Rebecca standing in front of Alexander.
Rebecca said confidently, her eyes locked on Alexander's. As the best friend of my departed sister, Alexander had been kind to her and in these years, Rebecca had frequently visited the palace and acted like she was the female host of this place.
From her behaviour, I knew she wanted to replace me and be together with Alexander.
“Rebecca, mind your words. You’re Cassandra's best friend. Do you want to replace her, too?” Alexander coldly stared at her.
“No no, my King,“ Rebecca hurried to explain for herself, “ You know that Cassandra’s death also pains me. I suggest this because she had advised me to take care of you before her death. ”
"You're not really in love with Olivia, are you?" She asked the question again to confirm something.
My heart couldn't help but beat faster. Rebecca's family was much more powerful than mine and she had my sister’s words, so their marriage would make sense, but hearing her ask him sent pain shooting into my heart. I stood there holding my breath as I waited for his answer.
There was silence for a few seconds as Alexander seemed to contemplate her words.
"I haven't given my love to her," he finally replied, his voice cold.
His words cut into me like a dagger piercing into my heart. It was stupid. I knew that his heart would always belong to my sister, but it still hurt to hear that he would never care about me.
"Then why not let me replace her? I know you better than anyone else, Alexander. I can make you happy in a way that she never could." Rebecca placed her hand on his chest, her expression hopeful.
I stepped away from the door, unable to hear any more of the conversation, tears burning my eyes, threatening to spill out at any second I held them back. Taking a breath, I pulled myself together, walking away from the door, not wanting to hear anymore.
I have tried my hardest to be what he wants me to be, but it was clear I was never going to be good enough for him, and soon I would be replaced by Rebecca when he rejects me as his mate and remarries her. Their words kept echoing through my head. It was stupid how much it hurt me. I already knew that he had no place for me in his heart, but hearing him say it to her made it so much more real.
The night of the ball came around fast. I stood alone in a room full of people, watching as Alexander danced with Rebecca. Rebecca smiled and whispered things in Alexander's ear, but the whole time, he kept his face in the same unreadable expression. I couldn't stand there and watch them anymore.
The pain in my chest was too much. I turned away, trying my best to hide the pain on my face. As I did, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Victor, the star of the ball.
"Would you like to dance, Luna?" he asked, extending his hand towards me with a charming smile.
I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I wanted to be seen dancing with someone other than my mate. But something about Victor drew me in: his warm smile and kind eyes, which were the same grey colour as mine. I started to feel curious about him now.
Without saying a word, I placed my hand in his and allowed him to lead me onto the dance floor. The music swirled around us as we moved together.
As we danced, Victor looked at me with an intensity that made my heart race.
Victor twirled me around and leaned in closer to me. What was he gonna do to me? He was so close and as if he was about to kiss me.
It was strange, we had just met and never spoken too much. But, some things about him attracted me. It was not love but something I couldn’t explain. Did he feel the same for me?
He hovered there for a second, staring deep into my eyes, but before anything could happen, Alexander grabbed my arm, pulling me away from Victor, anger clearly visible on his face as he held me close to him.

Alexander's POVIt has been one year since my marriage to Olivia. The hardest thing has been controlling my wolf and not letting it overtake me. 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

I sat in the dimly lit room, my hands trembling with fear as I tried to come up with a plan. 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 sat there, lost in my thoughts, trying to come up with a plan. I heard the guards outside the door talking to a female who sounded familiar. Their voices were hushed but filled with malice. 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. I shook my head, making myself focus on what he was telling me."I heard some of Alpha Alexander's guards searching for someone, so I followed them and came

Alexanders pov. As I stepped out of the cell, my mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Olivia's eyes haunted me, pleading for me to believe her innocence. But something didn't feel right about the whole situation. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story than what we had been told. I made my way to my office, my footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. I could hear the distant howls of my pack members outside, a reminder of the chaos that had erupted within our once-peaceful community.As I settled into my leather chair, I looked at the two photos on my desk: one of my late wife Cassandra and the other of Olivia. The two women who had captured my heart in different ways were now gone from my life in tragic circumstances. I couldn't help but feel guilt for not being able to protect them both.But as I stared at their images, a thought crept into my mind. Cassandra had died in childbirth, and why now were people saying that they had seen Olivia in her room h

Olivia's pov. As I examined my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but sigh. I had become used to wearing a mask every day, never letting anyone see my face, but it had become such a big part of me that I had started to forget who I was without it. The delicate lace mask that covered half of my face seemed to mock me, a constant reminder of the secret I harboured and the danger that loomed if anyone was to ever find out who I really was."Olivia, are you ready?" My handmaiden's voice interrupted my thoughts, causing me to jump slightly. She stood at the door, her eyes filled with concern as she watched me carefully adjust the intricate design of the mask."Yes, I'm ready," I replied softly as I turned to face her. "Let's not keep Victor waiting."Together, we made our way down the corridors of the palace, the soft rustle of silk skirts echoing around us. As we approached the grand hall where Victor had told me to meet him, I felt a familiar knot form in my stomach. It had been

The ball was starting in just a few minutes and I couldn't shake the nervousness that had been eating away at me all day.Standing there adjusting the delicate lace on my royal blue silk dress, my heart raced at the thought of seeing him again after all these years. The mere mention of his name sent shivers down my spine, igniting a whirlwind of emotions within me.there was a light knock on my door. I straightened my mask one last time, making sure it was securely in place before opening the door to find Beta Allen standing there, looking handsome in his tuxedo."you look absolutely stunning," Beta Allen said with a warm smile, his eyes admiring my dress."Thank you, Allen," I replied, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks."Shall we?" he said, offering me his arm.

Olivia's POVThe ceremony had come to an end, and the officiant's voice rang out, full of warmth and joy. "You may now kiss your mate."For a long moment, Alexander and I stood there, neither of us moving. Our eyes met a deep, silent understanding passing between us. The world outside the two of us felt distant—almost irrelevant. It was as if time itself had paused, giving us this moment to just be, to finally breathe, to finally have each other completely.And then, as though it was inevitable, Alexander leaned in, his breath warm against my lips.

Alexander's POVI stood before the mirror, adjusting the pristine cuffs of my shirt, the faintest tremor of nervousness threatening to disrupt the calm exterior I fought so hard to maintain. My reflection stared back at me—sharp jawline, hair perfectly styled, the weight of responsibility etched in my gaze. But beyond the Alpha that I am, I saw the man who was about to marry the woman of his dreams for the second time, but this time, I would not take her for granted. I would treat her the way that I should have from the start.My chest tightened as I ran a hand over the collar of my suit. Everything was perfect. The flowers, the guests, the setting. But all I could focus on was the one thing that had eluded me for far too long—the realisation that this was the life I had always wanted yet failed to see for long, and I hated myself for that.A soft knock at the door drew my attention, and I turned to see Ethan standing in the doorway, his usual confidence absent, replaced by something

Bolts of exquisite fabrics lined the walls, their colours are vibrant, each one telling its own tale. I knew the one I held within my heart today—a tale of love, resilience, and hope.Lidia followed me closely, her earlier doubts seeming to melt away amid the excitement of the shop. "I’ve been waiting for this," she confessed softly, leaning closer as she took in the palatial display of elegant gowns.

As I stepped upon the dais, emotions welled within me, teetering precariously on a tide of sentiment and expectation.

Finally, he opened the box, revealing a stunning ring. The large moonstone at its centre caught the light, casting an ethereal glow that seemed to shimmer with life."Olivia, this ring has been in my family for hundreds of years," Ethan said, his voice tinged with reverence and nerves. The raw honesty in his eyes touched me deeply.“It’s beautiful," I murmured, genuinely captivated by the artifact's majesty and the legacy it represented.Ethan went red-cheeked, the usual bravado he donned so effortlessly slipping away.

Alexander had already set to arranging everything needed for our moonlit wedding. Tonight would be magic.I left the garden, excitement twirling within me as I ventured toward the dressmaker to see if she had anything that I could wear tonight with such short notice.

Though suffocated by shadows, this location was my asylum, for now, a perfect vantage point to observe their kingdom’s every move—without being observed myself.
