BiancaThe much-anticipated mate ball had finally arrived. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I felt it was extremely necessary for me to muster some surge of hope, one that would surely prevent me from spending the rest of my life with my nightmare.I stood right in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, while the maids took their time dressing me. Thinking of the event made me curl with much anticipation of what the night held.The door opened slightly, Amber ducking her head halfway into the room, her mouth slightly open as she pushed the rest of her body inside.“Good Heavens, my lady!” she exclaimed, pushing her small, cute head beside mine, her chin resting tentatively on my shoulders. “You’re extremely blessed by the moon goddess with exceptional beauty, my lady.”“Flattery, Amber; flattery is what your words echo,” I retorted, locking gazes with her through the reflection of the mirror.“You know I speak the truth, my lady,” she insisted stubbornly.“Your truths
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
Bianca.As I spoke, a heavy silence filled the room, only interrupted by my ragged breathing. I felt my mother’s intense gaze on me, creating a suffocating atmosphere. I waited for her to say something, but she remained silent. The tension in the room increased as I anticipated her next action.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper yet cutting through the silence like a knife.“Sinner?” Her tone was icy, filled with contempt. “Yes, you are a sinner, Bianca. You are a sinner because you dare to defy me,” she continued, her voice gaining strength with each word. “You defy the one who gave you life, who raised you, and who loves you despite your insolence.”I swallowed hard, feeling my throat dry and constricted.“M–Mother, I’m sorry,” I pleaded, my voice barely a whisper as her tone grew louder.“You’re not sorry,” she yelled, her voice laced with venom as she delivered a swift kick that sent me flying across the room. “Stop acting as if
