Bianca“Good morning, my lady.” Amber’s voice greeted me. I blinked, opening my eyes to meet her gaze.“Good morning, Amber,” I answered, pulling the blanket around me as I sat up. “What brings you here so early?”“My lady, I am here to inform you that your brother has returned,” she announced. Shock coursed through me at her words.My heart skipped a beat. The news I had been dreading had finally arrived. I had waited yesterday for Daniel to return, as Mother said, but he hadn’t arrived. And now he was home. How would I face him?“Where is he?” I asked, taken aback.“He is with your mother. They are having a discussion,” Amber informed me. Glancing at the clock in my room, I realized it was already 9 a.m. How had I slept in so late? Whatever Mother was discussing with him couldn’t be good. It must be about the marriage to the prince.I rose from the bed. “I need to shower, Amber. You can go back.”“Of course, my lady,” she responded before leaving the room. I hurried into the bathroo
BiancaThe room felt suffocating, with the weight of my brother’s words pressing down on me like a dreaded nightmare. “You disappoint me, Bianca.” His accusation echoed in my mind, each syllable a sharp reminder of my own betrayal. I had shattered the image he held of me.I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands trembling as tears streamed down my cheeks. I thought of Daniel, his eyes dark with disappointment and disbelief. The warmth of his embrace, the strength of his love—I had tarnished it.With trembling hands, I wiped my tears, trying to regain control of my emotions, as I heard a knock on the door.“Who is there?” I asked. My voice cracked.“It’s me, my lady,” she replied.“You should go back, Amber. I am not in the place to talk to you,” I responded with a heavy sigh.“I needed to tell you...”“Amber,” I called, cutting off her words. “Please respect my word.”“I’m sorry, my lady,” she pleaded.I could hear her footsteps as she walked away. It was total silence as I began crying
BiancaMy name is Bianca Jones, the only daughter of the famous Beta in our kingdom. With my silky red hair, I was known not only for my beauty but also for my kind heart and sharp wit.My father adored me, showering me with love and affection. As the Beta’s daughter, I enjoyed many privileges, and life seemed perfect with my father and brother. However, my mother’s love was ambiguous, tainted by her greed and ambition.My brother, Daniel, was often away from home, but upon his return, my feelings toward him took an unexpected turn. A strange attraction stirred within me, unsettling my thoughts and emotions.It was a pull that I could not figure out, even after racking my brain, so I decided to confide in my mother. I stood up and put on my dress before heading out to find her. I needed someone to talk to before my emotions consumed me.“Mother, I don’t know what’s happening to me,” I said as I descended the stairs. Our home was as grand as the main palace, with my room situated far f
Daniel.“Daniel, we will be heading back to the pack today,” the prince announced with a smile, knowing how much I had missed my little sister.“I know you must be missing your little sister,” he added, with a hint of empathy in his tone. “Sometimes, I find myself wishing for a sister of my own.”Everyone thought of him as a cold and arrogant prince, but no one had ever witnessed his sweet side. He was a very sweet young man, and I was blessed to have him as my friend.“You should ask the king and queen for a sister,” I said with a smirk.“What!” he exclaimed, hitting me slightly on the chest. “Are you joking?”“I wouldn’t dare,” I replied, furrowing my brow. “Why would I joke about that, my prince?”“I am sure you must be joking, Dan. I love to have a baby sister. Someone who is going to miss me while I am out of the kingdom,” he asserted. I could feel the sadness in his tone. “Someone who will be eagerly waiting for my return.”I gently tap his arm. “My sister is also your sister.” I
Daniel “Who the heck are you?” “Easy, man. It’s me,” the voice replied. “Finn, why did you do that?” He sighed and tapped me on the shoulder. “Didn’t you hear her voice? She’s inside my room.” Oh. I understood why he did that. It was because of her. “She’s in my room.” “I know,” I muttered. “I can hear her voice.” “I wonder what the alpha is teaching his daughter,” he exclaimed angrily. “Is he teaching them how to sleep with a man?” I could only stare at him. “Tell me, Daniel. What should I do to her?” “I don’t know, Finn,” I whispered, almost to myself. “Her sister was just in my room. She nearly forced herself to sleep with me.” “What!” He exclaimed. “You mean Anna?” “Yes. She went as far as to claim herself as my mate.” “What the heck! I can see that it runs in their blood,” he replied with a sigh. “I am glad I didn’t walk into Cassie’s trap.” “How are you going to pack your things?” I asked, having had enough of all the drama. All I wanted to do was go home and see m
Bianca.The morning sun rose, casting patterns of light on the forest floor behind our home. I stood at the edge of the clearing, my mind filled with conflicting emotions.I pondered why my mother insisted on deciding who I would marry. Lost in thought, I sensed a presence behind me.“Who’s there?” I asked, turning around.“Who else, sis?” a familiar voice said.“Brother!” I exclaimed, rushing to him and enveloping him in a hug. “You’re back.”“Yes, I am back, sister. How are you?”“I’m fine,” I replied, inhaling his familiar scent.Daniel stroked my hair gently before speaking. “What brings you here?”I sighed, uncertain whether to tell him or not.“What’s on your mind, Bianca?”“It’s Mother,” I explained.“What happened? Did she hurt you?”“No. I wish she had,” I admitted. “What she did was beyond that.”He gently pulled me closer, his eyes filled with concern. “What happened?”“Brother, Mom told me she would be the one to decide whom I marry,” I complained. “She won’t allow me to me
Bianca“What are you two whispering about?” Mother’s voice cut through the air like a knife. I was scared, my body trembling uncontrollably. Daniel seemed to notice and held my hand.“She won’t hurt you,” Daniel whispered. “I won’t allow her to hurt you with me by your side.”“Mother,” I called, rising to my feet.“What are you talking about?” she asked once more.“Nothing, Mother,” I replied.“You little brat,” she scoffed, her voice dripping with hatred. “Lying to me with that mouth of yours.”“She isn’t lying,” Daniel added, defending me. “I was only telling her about the training and all.”“Is that so?” Mother’s eyes bore into us with suspicion.“Yes, mother. We were not gossiping about you.” He dropped the bomb like a nuclear.Mother’s eyes widened. She trembled as she attempted to hit him.“What do you think you are doing, mother?” he asked, stopping her hand in the midway.“How dare you!” She growled in anger. “You have the guts to stop your mother from hitting you.”“I won’t a
Bianca“Mother, why are you here?” I asked, opening my eyes in shock. I wasn’t expecting her to be here.She snarled and looked at me as if I were nothing. “How dare you!” She gritted her teeth together as she dragged me across the floor. “Why won’t you listen to me?”I screamed as my body hit the floor. It hurt so much. She dragged me by my hair, forcing me onto my feet.“I warned you to stay away from Daniel, right?” she asked with a sneer. “Are you trying to bring out your bitchy side?” She mocked me. I opened my eyes in shock. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. My own mother thought of me as a bitch.“M-mother,” I stammered.“What!” she exclaimed. “Are you trying to make me feel guilty?”“Why?” I asked in a whisper. “You think of me as a bitch.”“Then what are you?” she asked. With a howl, she threw me across the room. “Aren’t you behaving like one?”I groaned, trying to stand on my feet. “I’m not a bitch. And don’t address me as one.”“You’re still talking. It seems the hit h
