#Chapter 3 My Sister Stole My Mate

last update Last Updated: 2022-08-29 15:10:28

Helen POV

The Devil's Lair

Alpha Justin had not said a word to me since I'd been pushed back inside his room. He hadn't done more than snarl at me every time I tried to speak to him.

Unable to see almost anything in the darkness, I couldn't tell if Justin was even looking at me.

My wolf -called Joy since I was a child- encouraged me to try my luck at appealing to The Devil's gentler side. He had to have a human side, right? Even Lycans were still human most of the time.

My tears were fake though my fear and sadness were both real. I focused on trying to let out every bit of misery in me through my voice, my actions, my presence in the small room which now served as a cage for both The Devil and me.

"I was rejected, you know?"

Honesty might earn me some favor with the Alpha. I couldn't offer anything else unless I wanted to risk getting closer to him and his angry growls scared me too much to risk closing the gap between us.

Rubbing the fabric of my skirt between my fingers, I continued speaking, "My sister stole my mate. On my wedding day. That's how I got here. I was rejected by my mate because my sister made a better match than me. I drank too much in a bar and wolves from your pack or a pack loyal to yours took me when I said I was a virgin."

Everything I had said to Alpha Justin was completely true; I found the tears I had been faking were now really flowing down my cheeks. How had my life gone so wrong so fast?

"I was supposed to be married today."

The confession was a broken whisper I didn't have to fake.

My fiance, Scott, had always been too good for me and not ashamed to let me know. His family was a powerful Alpha family who bred true to their line. All their males had the deepest of black coats while all their females were the purest of whites; I was marrying above my station as a mixed coat who people doubted could even claim an Alpha father.

"Why did your sister make a better match? Do you have different parents?"

Startled at the questions, I gasped, my head jerking up from my hands as I strained my eyes trying to see through the blackness of the room.

"No," I answered, trying to hold Alpha Justin's attention as long as I could with my story, "We have the same mother and father. I'm---younger by a year. My older sister Helen is more beautiful. She's a Snow White with the purest white coat any she-wolf could ever have. I'm a Tiger Lily because my coat is mixed with three different colors."

"Your mate was shallow enough to reject you for a she-wolf with a pure pattern?"

The way the Alpha said it made the logic seem ridiculous.

I'd never considered the importance put on coat colors from the perspective he offered. Was it shallow to want a mate who was more pure?

A werewolf's coat indicated their power as well as their beauty. A she-wolf with a pure white coat was as strong as a she-wolf could be while the addition of more colors to make a more and more mixed pattern meant her magic was weaker, more diluted, less reliable.

My sister could shift in seconds whereas it took me over a minute or more to reach my wolf form.

In a fight, my sister could come to her mate's aid in the span of a heartbeat while I'd need minutes.

Minutes in a werewolf battle meant the difference between life and death.

"You're crying again. Did you love your mate?"

"He was my fated mate," I said, confused by the question, "Of course I loved him."

"No, did you love him or did you just love his wolf being the mate to yours? There's a difference---what's your name?"

"Diana," I said, uncertain why I was continuing to lie to him about being my sister.

"Diana. What did you love about him, Diana?"

I realized a part of me kept thinking this entire experience would be over soon and I would be allowed to go back home. If Alpha Justin didn't know my true name, he couldn't hunt me down when I left. If I succeeded in getting him to mate with me, I could still leave afterwards.

Feeling comforted by the thought I could leave after my night with The Devil, I answered him with total honesty.

"I loved the way his wolf loved mine. My family never wanted me. They only tolerate me out of loyalty to the bloodline. Being a Tiger Lily is a shame on our House. My mother hates looking at me. She makes me dress in a maid uniform so guests think I work for the family instead of being their daughter. My father lets her get away with it because he's embarrassed by me, too."

"I wanted to make my family proud. I don't---I don't think I even knew him well enough to love him. He was as disappointed to be my mate as my family is to have me as their daughter."

"Anyone who's disappointed with you is a fool."

Alpha Justin stated his opinion as if it were a fact. For a moment, I let myself bask in the praise even though I knew the Lycan didn't have the right perspective to judge my situation.

"Thank you. That's kind of you to say. You don't have to say it though. I know who I am and what I have to offer. I know you should have your pick of mates. You probably wish you had found a different mate, too, but I'm grateful I met you. I never thought I'd get a second chance mate. They're so rare! Why should I be so lucky, you know?"

Finding a second chance mate was the equivalent of being struck by lightning twice in wolfen society. Most wolves tried to find their fated mate for years before either getting lucky or giving up.

"You're my first mate."

Justin spoke with a strange tone. I couldn't tell if he was angry or confused or disappointed in spite of saying he thought disappointment in me would make for a fool's feelings.

"Forgive me for being crude. But how did he reject you? Your first mate. How did he reject you before the wedding?"

Shame made me bow my head. I forced myself to breathe in and out through my mouth to stave off a panic attack.

I was wearing my wedding gown! How could he not realize Scott had rejected me literally at the wedding, not before?

The only explanation was he thought there was no way any wolf could be so cruel as to humiliate their mate in front of both their combined packs on what was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.

Tears dropped from my eyes in fat drops exactly as rain falling from pregnant clouds. Sadness ate its way through me -a hungry beast chewing through flesh until its teeth struck bone- and I wondered if I would ever be happy again.

"He wasn't there."

"What? Your mate wasn't there? He didn't show up?"

Shaking my head, I continued, "At the end of the aisle. Scott was supposed to be waiting for me. We had a whole day rehearsal to make sure I did it all right. I knew when I was supposed to walk. We started on time. All the ladies walked before me. All of the groomsmen escorted them. Everyone was so beautiful. But he wasn't there. He just wasn't there at all and it was time for me to walk."

I raised a hand to wipe at the tears pouring from my eyes, doubtlessly ruining my makeup or washing it away.

"I waited to see what would happen. He came out with my sister. They came in through a side door. I walked the aisle and he stopped the priest. He just---stopped everything. He took my sister's hand then gave me a formal rejection. As soon as the mate bond was broken, he asked my sister to take my place as his wife and that's what happened. He married my sister after rejecting me."

My tears got the better of me then and I let my head fall into my hands as sobs tore through me. I was wallowing in my misery when hot, huge hands tipped my face up and then The Devil kissed me.

I fell into the kiss with a desperation I didn't want to look at too closely.

Pressing my body against his, I opened my mouth to let his tongue inside mine. I tried to mimic his movements even though I had no experience with open-mouthed kisses.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, stroked a hand down his back and jerked when he made a feral sound as my hand touched a wet, raised stripe over his shoulder.

"You're bleeding!"

    Helen POV"You're bleeding!"The smell of blood washed over me in a hot copper rush which made me feel sick to my stomach, dizzy, confused because I could almost feel the pain of Justin's wounds myself yet we weren't bonded."It isn't important," Justin offered, throwing my own words back at me, "My father fears the beast will overpower me completely so he works hard to tame it. The creature responds best to pain. He finds the whip effective.""It's important to me."I echoed Justin's words through numb lips, struggling to my feet before shaking my skirt out to make walking easier.If he used pain to control his Lycan, then there should be first aid supplies in his rooms. I couldn't imagine the Alpha King would leave his only son without medicine to treat his wounds---but I also couldn't imagine the refined Alpha King whipping his heir bloody either. What did I know?I stumbled around until I found a dresser, but the drawers seemed to only hold clothes. I hadn't gotten a good look at

Sweat beaded on my skin and my scent was amplified ten times as my body used every advantage it had to entice my mate to me."Justin---no," I panted, letting my head fall back as another wave of lust blew through me, "I'm going into heat. You should get back in the bathroom. Close the door. Keep the water running. You won't be able to smell me. I won't ruin you."I would ruin him, too.If my mate lost his Lycan abilities, he'd be left as a human with all a human's weaknesses and frailties.I didn't want to think of my strong, monstrous mate reduced in any way much less made into a human.Justin would lose his birthright, his place in wolfen society, his connection with his wolf---or was it his Lycan? He called his other half his beast. Was that how his inner voice spoke to him? As a monster out of myth?Looking at him across the dark bedroom, my heat emphasized his size, his strength, his scent until I released the towel I'd

    Helen POVI realized it as soon as I said it out loud: I was free the way Justin was now free. There were no chains to bind me. No rope around my ankles or zip ties around my wrists. The door was wide open with no guard to stop me.I could run out the door and keep running until I blended back in with the pack who I had left behind. No one here would likely come looking for me after what I'd done to Justin. His father, Alpha King Juden, had only threatened my life if I didn't seduce him---and I had done it."I'm free."Justin was still breathing. He seemed to just be in a very, very deep sleep. What if I left him here for his father to take care of him? Was there any way he could find me again?I hadn't even told him my real name. He thought I was my sister. Diana. No one would go running their mouth about me to him either because I was overlooked completely in my own pack as a mixed coat Tiger Lily no one wanted.My own fated mate had thrown me over for my sister.I focused on my shi

My father, The Alpha King, knew better than to give me a way out; my beast craved freedom almost as much as he craved sex with the virgin offerings sent to him with every full moon.I opened my eyes to see something completely new to me: the outside world.Since I was old enough to shift, I had not been allowed out of my chains or out of the mansion which served as my cage. My father didn't want to risk losing me to either instinct or pure power since my beast was stronger than any wolfen form.My body was clothed only in a pair of shorts I wore for the sake of modesty in my rooms. I didn't remember putting them on so someone else must have dressed me, moved me, freed me.[Mate!] the beast inside me roared.Yes, I had been freed by my mate.I could recall the moment my chains broke with complete clarity -better

His legs were significantly longer than my own and I had seen him move faster than me even while chained.The next idea which came to mind was to deny who he thought I was---who he believed he knew I was but did he know? Could he know?Lycans were rumored to have all kinds of gifts, but I knew his vision wasn't perfect in the gloom which we'd met in. The darkness inside his room had been almost complete.My heat had caused many of my own memories to be hazy. It was a fair bet Justin didn't have much more clear memories of me."Thank you for your help, Alpha!""Alpha?" he asked, looking at me in puzzlement as he crouched to join me where I huddled in the walkway, "I'm your mate.

    Justin POVI wasn't sure why the female smelled so strongly of my mate if she wasn't my mate.There was none of my own scent remaining on her body which meant she had either bathed very, very thoroughly or she was telling me the truth: she was not my Diana, but, instead, Diana's treacherous sister Helen.I couldn't come up with a reason why she might lie to me; her fear was palpable as she encouraged me to go to the outdoor eatery to wait on her to retrieve my mate and hers. She seemed confused about her instructions until she retrieved her cellular phone.The call she made went to a messaging service. I was annoyed, but she seemed relieved. Again, I had no idea what to think of things. All I knew was this woman smelled so much of my mate yet not at all of me. How would that be possible?I'd bit my mate during the mating. I remembered my teeth sinking deep into her muscles and how I'd lapped at the wound until all the edges were fully sealed by my healing saliva.If I focused, I could

    Helen POVThree waiters came out to the table with the bottles of wine -four of them in total, one I knew was meant for me while three were there for Justin- alongside the wine glasses which were stacked into an intricate pyramid.They made sure the glasses touched just so on their edges before pouring the bottles of wine one flight at a time. The bottom layer was a deep red cabernet sauvignon, while a rich merlot was poured into the glasses atop it, and the third flight at the peak was made up of a beautiful Malbec imported from Argentina.I asked for the Malbec for my bottle because I knew it was a fine wine---so I thought it must be lower alcohol content because why would people drink a fine vintage only to become drunken fools?Justin didn't seem to have ever had wine in his life. He asked so many questions the waiters were all offering him suggestions as they finished the challenge set-up.I could tell from the looks he was garnering, he'd captured their affection as easily as br

My nipples were stiff peaks against his chest. His hands squeezed my ass as he ground his cock against the wet pulse at my core. I locked my ankles over each other just as he claimed my mouth with his own.Our kiss was hot enough to set the world on fire; I didn't care who was dancing with us around the bonfire because Justin had lit me up inside, holding me together only long enough to bask in the feeling of me burning down in his arms.Every breath was saturated with heady wine; I'd never known wine was something to be savored before.Malbec seemed to be a drink with a subtle hint or rich red fruits, passion, and a smoky essence I associated with

Aurora liked to do that when things didn’t go exactly her way.But it seemed I wasn’t the only one who had that idea because halfway to her so-called “secret” place in the garden, I caught sight of her current boyfriend, Jay, sneaking out there, too. Jealousy prickled at my stomach.Aurora was my twin. I was the closest one to her. If she needed cheering up, it should be me doing it, not some random guy. What could he ever offer her that her twin couldn’t?Besides, Jay wasn’t worthy of her. He was a single-color coated wolf, the son of some gamma in my father’s ranks. If she was going to date and seriously consider finding a mate, I didn’t think Jay was anywhere near worthy of her.Jay was a consolation prize, at best. Some poor lady wolf could end up with him, but not my sister. Still, if she was just killing time by fooling around with him

    Aurora’s POVAs the oldest of my mother’s twelve children, everyone expects me to be responsible. And as the first lycan born to my father, everyone looks to me to continue the lycan race.That’s a lot of pressure to put on an eighteen-year-old. Don’t get me wrong, as the future luna and heir to my father’s throne. I get where the pressure is coming from. Not that I particularly enjoy it.At the moment, I was hiding in the garden. I had many happy memories of this space, and on many days when I needed to think for myself or to get away from my many siblings, particularly my twin brother, I snuck out here and hid. Luke was way too over-protective of me, and it got annoying.When I was small, I used to make forts in the hedges surrounding the rose garden. I’d carved my hiding spot out into a hidden alcove that nestled inside the hedge behind a veil of ivy. Sunlight could dapple through the vines and illuminate the inside.And as long as I kept it free of cobwebs, it was a nice space to

    Helen’s POVEach of the twins had gotten to choose party clothes for the event, and they were quite excited about it, probably because I let Luke have a tie that had a dinosaur print all over it. And because his little suit wasn’t anywhere near as fancy as Aurora’s poofy dress, or I guess it was just as fancy but less to his taste, I let him pick out a little undershirt and underwear with dinosaurs on them, too. That way, he felt he had a satisfactory number of dino garments on and was much easier to coax into his little gray suit.Aurora had chosen a dress perfect for a budding princess, all tulle and lace and sparkles in a vivid teal that complimented her dark hair, each accentuating the color of the other. I had just finished pulling on her tights and buckling her sparkly little shoes when Celine joined us.“Why don’t you come and help me greet the guests, Luke?” she suggested. “While your Mama finishes doing Aurora ‘s hair.”“Okay.”He took his nanny’s hand and left, and I fussed

On her back, my two-year-old son, Wilson, kicked his legs happily, asking nonsense questions about what we were doing.Inside me, our new baby, another daughter, kicked and squirmed, looking for more room inside my womb. Celine and I were busy frosting cupcakes for the twins’ birthday. They were turning five today, and it was a big birthday party because we were doing their official reveal.Today, they would reveal their wolves and begin to learn about them and grow together. Justin and I had spent the last five years working furiously to repair all of the damage his family had done to the reputation of the multi-colored coated werewolves in anticipation of this very day.The last thing I wanted to do was have my children reveal the color of their wolves only to find out that they were multi-colored, or at least that’s the way it would have been if we hadn’t put in the effort. By now, everyone in the True Mates

    Justin’s POVIf anyone said “honeymoon” to me, I would assume plenty of sex on the first night. But that was not at all what our first night in Tahiti was like.We arrived at the airport late and got shuttled straight to a hotel. We were exhausted and then had to get up early again to catch our inter-island flight to Bora Bora.Neither one of us was in the mood to do anything that night. So, thank goodness we had gotten a chance to fool around on the airplane. And I have to admit, fooling around on the airplane was so fucking hot.Ever since I found out that she was carrying one of the Huntsman’s twins, well, actually, that’s a lie. Ever since I found out that she was the Huntsman sex slave, and then when I found out that she was carrying his child, my feelings of desire for Helen wavered up and down.Sometimes I felt like everything was normal between the two of us, and I wanted her just the same as I always had, or at least the same as I had since I’d gotten my lycan and she’d gotte

    Helen’s POVMy stomach buzzed in anticipation. Even the rumbling of the jet engines through the seat in my rear end didn’t dispel the feeling. Next to me, Justin adjusted his seat belt, putting his books and such within arms reach for the flight to Bora Bora.I’d finally gone with that as the location for our honeymoon. The twins were safe with Randy and Emily, and our nanny. Outside, snow swirled around the plane, but in about fifteen hours, we would be out in warm sunlight. Well, we were arriving at night, but we’d be out in warm weather anyway in Tahiti. And from there, first thing the next morning, we were catching a small flight over to Bora BoBora.“Are you excited?” I asked, poking Justin in the shoulder.“For the hundredth time, I am. And I can tell you are, too, annoyingly excited. You’re going to drive me crazy.”I poked at him again. “I don’t wanna drive you crazy, but I have an idea.”“What?”I tugged on his shirt, so he had to lean close so I could whisper in his ear. “I

    Russo’s POVWhen we arrived at the hospital, the nurses thought it would be amusing to put us in the exact same room that Helen had been in while she was waiting for her C-section. Being a witch, Lisa shooed the nurses away as much as she could because she brought her own herbs to help with the delivery.In fact, after she’d taken some at the start of the contractions, she didn’t seem to be in much pain at all. Her body was going about its business without really disrupting her. It confirmed my suspicion when one of the nurses walked out, grumbling about how it must be nice to be a witch.“How come you didn’t offer the same herbs to Helen?” I asked, sitting at the bedside by Lisa’s head.She glanced over at me. “Because the mixture that I took includes wolfsbane, which is hard enough on adult werewolves, poisonous in large portions, and deadly to a newborn or an almost newborn. I would have essentially poisoned her and the baby.”“Not babies?”She shrugged. “I don’t know what would h

He’s done a pretty good job of coping with the fact that one of the twins isn’t his, worse, that he’s a part demon. But it’s kind of left a quiet wedge between us, and I wanna get over that.”Randy nodded. “I did notice. He hasn’t said anything to me. Though, I know he’s trying.”“I realize he’s trying,” I agreed, “but that doesn’t mean that he needs to try all on his own. So . . .

I wanted to have them seen, for the world to know that I had created perfection.And they were perfect. From their tiny little lips to their little button noses, they were utterly adorable. They each had ten teeny fingers and ten petite toes. Their downy heads of hair were so soft that I could help but smooth my hands across them, reassuring them that their mother loved them.Everything about them was indescribably perfect.We knew from the moment that they were born that my daughter was the lycan and my son was the child of the Huntsman.
