ANIKA'S POV:-
ELEVEN YEARS LATER:-
I opened my eyes as the sun was shining brightly in the sky. I looked at the calendar on the front wall and sat up on the bed. I squealed in happiness as it was finally the day. I hopped off of the bed and went towards the bathroom. I took a quick shower then brushed my teeth. I stepped out of the bathroom and went straight towards the closet. I went through all my closet but did not find the dress I had bought especially for my birthday.
Yes, it was my eighteenth birthday. And I was not excited because of my birthday. I was excited because Adam was coming home after a long time. Last he visited three years ago. After that, he did not come. But a few days before my birthday, I received his letter. And he told me that he would be there on my birthday.
As I was going through all my closet, I heard my evil sister giggling to herself. I returned around and found her leaning with the door frame. I rolled my eyes as I saw her evil face in the morning. "Looking for this?" She said while holding a piece of the dress I had bought for my birthday. Looking at the piece of the dress with wide eyes, I went towards her. She threw it on the floor so she could humiliate me again.
"Did I not tell you? No one gets to wear anything better than me." She said in her usual evil tone. With teary eyes, I looked up at her.
"Why did you do that? You said your dress was better." I asked her while trying hard to control my emotions. But instead of answering me, she went away laughing like an evil bitch she was. I did not have anything else to wear. My old clothes were not in the position to be worn on my birthday. That was the reason why I asked Adam to send me something to wear. But instead, he sent me money and told me to buy something for myself.
I went to bed and sat down. I hugged my knees tightly and started sobbing. As always, she ruined everything and I knew no one would say a word to her. Ever since I saved the life of our Alpha and his crew, the Alpha released the orders to show respect for the person who saved his life. In front of Alpha, my family used to behave but while at home, I was just a slave for my bitchy sister. I kept sobbing for only God knows how long. Until I felt numb and fell asleep.
I opened my eyes as I felt someone's hands on my bear arms. I sat up abruptly on the bed. I sighed in relief as I saw who dared to touch me like that. It was Adam. I did not say anything. He pinched my chin lightly and guided my gaze towards his. "I came back because my little angel wrote to me that she was missing me. I thought she would be wearing a beautiful dress and would be looking all stunning. But here she is, lying naked on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Why do you have puffy eyes?" He said then asked me when he noticed my puffy eyes.
"Skylar tore my new dress. I have nothing to wear." I replied and my tears and betrayed me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me on his lap. I hugged him and rested my head on his shoulder.
" That's it. That is not a big problem. As I have brought you a very stunning dress." He said and I looked at him. He had a wide smirk on his face.
"Where is it? You did not tell me that you are bringing me a dress." I asked him with a pout on my face. He just chuckled and cupped my face.
"Baby girl, I knew your bratty twin will fuck up. That was why I bought you a new dress." He replied and I wiped my tears. I smiled and pecked his cheek.
"I want to see that dress." I said excitedly. I was about to stand up when he grabbed my hips and pulled back on his lap. I frowned and looked at his face.
"You are not getting that dress this easily, baby girl." He whispered as he rubbed the tip of his nose with my bare shoulder. I felt sparks of electricity all over my body when he touched me. I gulped hard as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"What do I have to do?" I asked him in a nervous tone. He chuckled and grabbed the back of my neck.
"For now, let me enjoy your warmth after all these years. I have missed you a lot." He replied and the only thing that came out of my mouth was a "huh!" sound. He set me back on the bed and made me lie down. He laid on top of me. It felt good to feel his warmth on my body.
"Adam…" I called him.
"Hmmm…" He hummed.
"Please tell me you are not going anywhere from now on. I missed you all these years." I asked him as he hugged me tightly. He chuckled hearing my question and pecked my shoulder.
"No, I will be living here with you from now on." He replied and I looked at his face. He then sat up and went away. I also sat up on the bed. In a minute, he came back to the bedroom with a big box with him. He cut the ribbons of the box and I gasped seeing the most beautiful dress I had ever seen in my life. It was a strapless pink dress. It was puffy and I could see that it would reveal my cleavage.
"Do you like it, baby girl?" He asked me as he found me looking at the dress in awe. I looked at him and smiled. I hugged him tightly and he pecked my left cheek.
"I love it." I replied in a happy tone. He chuckled hearing me so excited. He kissed the top of my head then asked me to change into the dress he had brought me. He left the room and I started getting ready.
SKYLAR'S POV:-
I was excited to know that Uncle Adam was coming back home. I did not know why, but I always wanted him to just look at me. Instead, he always loved Anika. I did not know what was so special about her. She was ugly and hideous while I was stunning and pure. Why could he not look at me as well. He bought her gifts. He fed her with his hands. But he never did anything like that for me. I wanted him to do that to me as well.
I knew well what Anika would do in future. My parents told me that. Especially my dad. He was terrified of her. He told me everything. That was the reason why everyone supported me. My dad said Anika would soon turn into a monster. And she would kill everyone who loves her. That was the reason no one ever loved her. Not even me. Even though I was her twin sister. But I did not love her. I wanted to. But seeing her with uncle Adam, it always burned my heart. I never knew why but it really hurt me.
ADAM'S POV:-I was sitting on one of the couchs, reading a book I had brought with me. Leaving my angel in her room, I came back down so she could have her privacy. I knew she needed to learn to live with me. Because I had come back home. My mother was not fine and to make her wish come true, I asked my Alpha to grant me to live with my family.As the boring party was going on, I busied myself with my book which was a thousand times more interesting than the lamest stories of that bratty bitch, Skylar. To my surprise, things were better ever since I came back. No one seemed to have any sort of problem with me. Not everyone had problems with me except for my angel's father, James. He used to be jealous of me, all the time. But ever since I came back, he seems to be better. In fact, he was way nicer than ever."Adam!" I heard Ja
ANIKA'S POV:-I looked at myself in the mirror one last time. I was hell nervous. Everything was perfect but the scar on my face was messing with the look. The dress and everything Adam had brought me, they were all very stunning but I could not help that scar. I just wished it would have gone. But I was not very lucky. I even asked the Celestial if she could make it go away. But she said it was permanent. Celestial was like a God mother to me. She was always nice to me. Whenever I felt lonely, I always went to her. She always made my pains go away. Gulping the nervousness down, I held my head high and stepped out of the room.As I started descending down the stairs of the house, my heart started drumming inside my rib cage. I did not know what he would say. I did not know if he would like everything he had brought for me. Or I would just break his heart. Bru
SKYLAR'S POV:-I went back to my room crying crazily. Not because I saw people laughing at me. Not because I could not get that box. Also not because Anika insulted me. If uncle Adam could ever understand. I just wanted him to give me something. I wanted to go to him and ask him if he brought me something. I could not have cared for that stupid big box if he would just have given me something. Even if it was a small smile with a birthday greeting.It would have meant the world to me. But all he had, as if it all belonged to Anika. I just did not know why. But I hated her because she was always with him and he never even looked at me. What was that I did that made him so angry at me. I wanted to hold his hand. I wanted to feel his warmth. I wanted to feel his heart beat. I did not care for what people would think about us. All I cared was to get him to say, Skylar, yo
ANIKA'S POV:-After a long and tiring day, I finally came back to my room and kicked my shoes off. I sat on the chair that was set when my dresser. I started pulling off my accessories. Then I pulled all the bobby pins out of my hair and let them cover my back. I grabbed the brush and started untangling my hair. I looked at the armor that was now placed in my bedroom. I really could not believe it. It still felt as if I was dreaming. I was honoured by our Alpha. In the same house where I was treated as a slave, I was given the most honorable tribute. I could not help but giggle as I remembered the face my bitchy sister had that time.The door of the room opened and Adam stepped into the room. I frowned at first but then I remembered that it was his room and from now onwards, I had to share it with him. Or he was sharing his room with me. I was pulled out of my thoughts as
ANIKA'S POV:-I smiled lazily as I felt Adam on top of me. I was lying on my stomach and he laid on top. He removed my hair from my shoulders and pecked my bear shoulders one after another. "Wake up, baby girl. Today is a big day for you. You don't want to be late today." He whispered in my ear then pecked my cheek."Emhhh… please.. let me sleep. Five more minutes." I said lazily and hid my face under my arms. He grabbed both of my arms and held them behind my back. I made a lazy whimper sound when he grabbed both of my arms."You are opening your eyes right now, baby girl. Or you will be in trouble." He threatened me and I groned in annoyance. He pecked my cheek again as I opened my eyes."Now that's my good girl." He said and pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around h
ANIKA'S POV:-I turned to look at Adam who had a mischievous smirk on his face. He raised a brow at me and I shook my head. I grabbed the bowl of oatmeal and started digging in. "Your chair is empty. Sit on that. Mom!" Skylar said in a mocking tone as she called mom. She knew my weak point. I gulped hard as my mom was glaring at me. She was about to open her mouth when Aura took the charge again."Oh, I am more comfortable on Adam's lap. If you are interested in taking my seat as well then go ahead. I am not stopping you as I know how much of a beggar you really are." Adam chuckled hearing me and then all cousins broke into laughter. I shrugged my shoulders and started digging in again."Phew! You are a lifesaver, Aura." I said to her as she was licking her paw. Skylar stood up and went away, stomping her feet
ANIKA'S POV:-"Alright you both. We will start with runs. Both of you are going to take three rounds of this field. Move your lazy asses now." Adam said and I looked at Kyle. He shrugged his shoulders as he as well heard Adam."Aahh.. Beta, don't you think three rounds on the first day would kill us?" I giggled as Kyle asked him that question. Adam gritted his teeth but then smirked mischievously. The smirk already told me that we were in trouble."Alright then. You will do five rounds. Is that good for you?" Adam asked Kyle and I groaned in annoyance. "Move your lazy asses now or I will increase the number of rounds." Adam added and I sighed. I peeled the jacket I was wearing off of my body. I started running as I knew there was no other way. I knew Adam well. And I knew there was no way or no one who could convince him to
SKYLAR'S POV:-I stepped out of the car as the driver stopped the car in front of the cabin of Celestial. I went towards the door and knocked at the door. In a minute, the opened and Celestial bowed her head in front of me. "You should have called me to your house, my future Luna." She said as she invited me in. I shook my head and followed her behind. She led me towards her living room and signalled me to sit down. I sat down on one of the couches."I wanted to discuss something with you and I just did not want anyone else to know about it. So I decided to visit you myself. I need some answers. They are digging my insides as if they are termites." I replied and she nodded her head. She had a kettle set in front of her. She filled two cups as if she knew I would visit her. She offered me one and I took it gladly. It was lemon tea, my favorite. I
