ANNABELLA’S POV
Tears blurred my vision the minute my eyes pulled open. None of it was a dream, It wasn’t a dream like I hoped. I pulled up and sat on the bed with tears pulling up in my eyes, I didn’t realize how much of a shame I was to them. I didn’t know I would have to watch my twin sister take what was mine someday. I didn’t know my parents would one day side with Olivia and snatch asy my life and place hell before me.
This wasn’t my life, my life was either my fated mate and my fated mate was Summer, the man my sister greedily got married to with the approval of my parents. This was someone else’s life.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
My eyes went round the familiar room with tears heavily stuck in my eyes. Once again I was back to this place, the same place I so much wanted to get out of. The exact place I didn’t want to live.
What choice did I have?
I had nowhere else to go and I was too weak to live on my own. Going rogue ment dying because I have no wolf to lead me through and staying here meant well, I guess I would have to leave to my fate.
I cleaned my face with both hands and stepped down from the huge bed that had his scent all over just then I realized the unfamiliar dress I was wearing. I frowned as it wasn’t what I wore a few hours ago.
Did he change my dress? I didn’t like the sound of it but a part of me didn’t see the wrong in it which made me feel uneasy. Just a few hours ago I called him nemas and now I was wearing his shirt!
Why was my life this messed up? Or maybe I was doing something right?
I stared down at myself and for some reason I felt more comfortable than I was supposed to. Wearing the beast’s dress should freak me the hell out but no, I was rather comfortable!
I stepped out of the room and turned from the stairs. My bare feet collided with the cold white floor but I didn’t stop as I continued down towards the kitchen. I didn’t understand myself anymore, I didn’t know why life had to be crazy when everything was supposed to be simple.
” You are just in time” a voice rang out and stopped just after setting down the stairs.” I made you soup to help get rid of the fever” she stepped out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand.
The disappointment look in my eyes opened a smile on Madeline’s face. ” Alpha Roman was here the whole time watching after you but he left a few minutes ago with Vincent for something really important.” she explained and I stared down, squeezing tightly on the shirt I was wearing. I didn’t know why I was expecting him of all people but I guess it wasn’t something to think about.
It makes sense why his beta would take him away after all he was the alpha. I got that a lot with my father, he sometimes had to leabe. in the middle of dinner for pack related issues. I convinced myself trying. g to get my head off his cold beautiful face.
Maybe Madeline was right, perhaps he wasn’t as bad as the rumor said he was because if he were then why would he bother to follow me to my pack? If it was a breeder he really wanted I believe he could find anyone to take that considering all this wealth he has.
” Come have a seat, the soup will get cold, ” she urged and I stepped forward to take a seat. ” Thank you. ” I said in a small voice before trapping the spoon. ” I’m glad you are okay ” she said and I swallowed the first spoon of soup down my throat and stared up at her as if asking what she meant. ” You were burning up when he brought you.” She explained and I nodded, turning my gaze down to the bowl of soup before me. She really didn’t have to bother herself making soup for me, not as if I was seriously I’ll but I appreciate her kindness.
Not even my mother would go this far with me. The last time she took care of me was when I was a pup. It has always been Olivia and no one else.
Tears threatened to fall but I had to pull it back. The last thing I wanted was to cry again because there was nothing to cry for. I have already lost everything just like I did when I was younger.
Anyone who ever showed me love later becomes team Olivia. Sometimes I wonder what wrong I ever did to deserve such a life.
Olivia gets all the good stuff while I live in her shadows. My only hope to experience love was my mate which she managed to take from me thanks to my parents.
I wiped a tear from my eyes hoping Madeline didn’t see it. ” Go on, cry if that will make you feel better” she said and I raised my teary eyes to look at her. ” Come here” tears broke down on my face as I watched her walk to my dude and pull me into a hang.
I didn’t realized how long I have been leaning on Madeline’s shoulder and crying but it makes my heart feel lighter and my eyes a bit cleared even though it didn’t reduced the pain I felt in my chest.
” I can’t get out of my head” I pulled back from Madeline. For some reason I felt more comfortable around her than I have ever done. ” The wedding” I said and Madeline walked back to the spacious kitchen and after a few seconds she returned with a cup of tea. ” Here, have a taste to help you relax” I took the cut and sat back in my seat. ” Life is full of uncertainty but remember whatever you lose is not meant to be yours” she said, placing her hand on mine. I knew what she was trying to say but Summer was my fated mate and if he wasn’t meant for me then why did the moon goddess made him my mate in the first place?
We had a happy life until alpha Roman came into the picture and off course with his proposal. Summer was mine until I had to get married and became a baby making machine. ” Let the past rest if you want peace in your heart” she said and I glared back into her gray eyes.
She looked mysterious with those eyes and of course her long red hair.
I had a long chat with Madeline that I ended up forgetting what I went through. Her eyes talk opened my eyes and my brain to view certain things in a different light.
Her strange aura made me comfortable around her. I felt like I could tell her anything and I told her a few things about myself which she didn’t seem surprised to hear.
I wondered what awaits me here because obviously I was stuck in this pack if not for life then for real. My fate was probably sealed with this pack. Who knows?
I followed Madeline to the kitchen and I was of help to her if not anything.
I wasn’t much of a cook since I wasn’t used to going into the kitchen besides I wasn’t allowed to enter anywhere in the alpha building aside from my room.
” Why don’t you deliver it to him?” Madeline suggested and my eyes widened. ” What, me?” I pointed a finger to myself. ” It’s okay if you can’t, ” she said and I stepped aside to give her enough space to move about. ” Ahh, do you think it’s okay?” I asked because I wasn’t sure if he wanted to see my face after being a bitch to him this morning. ” He wouldn’t mind besides he hasn’t had anything, ” she said and I swallowed.
Well, I didn’t see why I shouldn’t deliver food to him after all, he helped me. I didn’t know where I would have ended up if he hadn’t showed up when he did.
” Okay. What should I do to make the process after?” I asked and Madeline smiled at me besides, I wanted to do something to thank him for…
Well, I didn’t know what to thank him for, maybe for breaking my father’s arm in front of me. ” Roman will not be happy if something goes wrong” Madeline’s voice pulled out of my thoughts and I stared confusedly at her while she cut the vegetables. What could possibly go wrong?
I didn’t understand.
