Episode 6

_Hellen_

My hands tremble with rage as I get ready to be marked by Kaleu. No matter what, I will be the Luna of this pack! Even if I have to kill that bitch for getting in my way again. I've hated that tramp since we were kids, she was always pretty and it drove me crazy! That sly little smile of hers, I hope she died in the snow.

I smile at the thought of her frozen in the snow being eaten by crows...

"Are you happy, future Luna?"

Said my personal maid, who has been praising me since I got here.

Hellen: Very happy! I can't wait to belong to my alpha.

"I could tell by your lively expression..."

*It was just what I needed\, having to put up with a simple maid sucking up to me*

Better show the riffraff their place right away.

Hellen: Come on, I don't have all day!

Her expression immediately changed to one of disbelief...

Hellen: You're being paid to get me ready so do your side job quietly!

"...Ye...Yes ma'am!"

That's how I like it, to see those worms under my foot while I step on them with a vengeance! Once I was done, I put on a sexy nightgown that barely covered my body and applied some body oil along with a sweet and intoxicating perfume. I went to the Alpha's room and knocked on the door, it didn't take long, he opened the door and holy shit...

He was only wearing pants with his abs showing and his wet hair dripping down his delicious body.

I put on a coy face and spoke sweetly:

Hellen: "You said you'd mark me today, Kaleu..."

His expression turned somber and he just nodded and opened the door for me to enter. I went inside the huge and elegant room, worthy of an alpha, and sat on the bed biting my lower lip as I undressed him with my eyes. His expression remained somber but I didn't care, that would only last until he marked me and when that happens I will sweep these useless worms from the pack.

Kaleu: "I'm... I'm just going to the bathroom."

I thought it was strange since he had clearly just gotten out of the bathroom, but I nodded anyway as I took possession of what would be my future bed.

When he came back, his expression was even more somber, sending shivers down my spine...

He climbed on the bed and crawled towards me and when he was close to my mouth he said harshly, looking into my eyes:

Kal: "You think I would mark someone as despicable as you? Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you, the only woman who will touch this body while I pleasure her will be my destined mate!"

It was his wolf...

Even after saying those words I won't give up!

Hellen: "Give Kaleu back control, you flea-ridden mutt! I don't expect anything from you or my wolf, but Kaleu is mine, do you hear me?"

He growls and throws me against the wall with all his might, causing me excruciating pain in my back. Without giving me time to react, he grabs me by the neck while lifting me up like a sack of potatoes and says sarcastically:

Kal: "Didn't you hear me, you worm? You are NOTHING to me or to my pathetic human! He never really loved you."

That hit me hard and I started to cry, not tears of sadness, but tears of hatred for the bitch who stole him from me.

Hellen: "Le... Le... Let... Let me go..."

I was already losing my breath as he smiled like a maniac at my pain and when I was about to pass out, Kaleu came back, dropping me to the floor quickly. I was crying and struggling with the humiliation I had suffered...

Kaleu: "Get out..."

Hellen: "But Kaleu..."

My voice came out muffled because of the crying...

Kaleu: "GET OUT!"

I quickly got up and ran to my room. When I got there I started breaking everything and screaming desperately... My mother showed up and tried to calm me down, but I knocked her to the floor and continued screaming in anger.

Melina: "What's going on here?"

Great! It was all I needed, my nosy mother-in-law came into my room meddling where she shouldn't. But I'm going to use this to my advantage...

I started crying to her and said:

Hellen: "Kaleu threw me against the wall and hurt me... I don't know what happened. I think it was witchcraft..."

Milena: "Calm down, daughter... It wasn't witchcraft, it's because you're not his mate! You have to accept that, as hard as it is."

Hellen: "But I love him so much..."

I started crying even harder with my hands on my face.

Milena: "Don't worry. Even though you're not his mate, you're still my protege..."

Hellen: "My sister will humiliate me because of this, you have no idea how mean she is."

Milena: "Don't worry, if she comes here I won't let her do whatever she wants just because she's the Luna. You're still my favorite!"

I hugged her and settled for that. If that bitch ever comes back, I'm going to make her life a living hell! She's going to wish she were dead.

(...)

_Anastasia_

I don't know what this is, but I felt a shiver down my spine out of nowhere...

It's been a while since I woke up and now I'm getting ready to meet this sister of mine. Am I really the Beta's daughter? Why the hell do I have a reaper sister?

So many questions, but I know that if I ask my wolf she won't want to answer me. The only thing left for me to do is ask my sister...

I grabbed a floral dress and went to the bathroom, washed my hair and let it dry naturally, then got dressed and put on sandals.

After I was ready, I let Diane guide me.

Diane: "It would be faster if you shifted."

Anastasia: "Are you crazy?"

Diane: "Relax, I know a way for no one to see us."

Anastasia: "And what way is that?"

Diane: "Imagine yourself as a clear glass."

Anastasia: "What?"

Diane: "Quick."

I started to imagine myself as I walked through the busy streets. When I was done I looked at the glass of a shop and couldn't see my reflection...

Diane: "Now imagine yourself as smoke flowing through the air..."

I drew air into my lungs and did exactly as she asked, as soon as I imagined myself as smoke, something strange began to happen. People passed through me as if I were invisible... People walked in and out of me and I felt nothing, not even an impact.

Anastasia: "Whoa..."

Diane: "That's just one of the things you can do! Now let me take over so we can get there faster."

Anastasia: "All right..."

My wolf took over and we started running through the city, it's amazing! Our physical strength is greater and faster than a car, she jumped over buildings feeling the cool breeze on our fur creating a new pleasant atmosphere. We only stopped when we reached a small jewelry store, she gave me back control and I transformed back into my human form. Unlike gray wolves, we northern wolves have a unique ability to transform already clothed. This is the only thing that makes me sure I'm from there, as I acquired the same ability!

As soon as I opened the shop door, the door chime announced my entry... When I stepped foot in the shop I felt a nostalgic and unique wind full of emotions, pain, suffering, longing and love... Lost bonds in time! My soul screamed and cried as it felt her, my beloved sister. I have no memories of her, but my soul never forgot and so I started crying out of nowhere without realizing it. Big tears streamed down my face looking for a scent so familiar! I looked everywhere for that smell until I felt a cold hand on my left shoulder, I slowly looked back and met the eyes of a very beautiful woman with the darkest aura but incredibly warm and familiar. She looked at me with a mixture of shock and affection, without giving her time to say anything I hugged her crying in despair as she returned my hug squeezing me against her in a friendly comfort and affection!

Now I'm sure, she's my sister!

Amara: "Why? How is this..."

Anastasia: "I don't know... I came here looking for answers."

She slowly pulled me away and put her right hand on my face affectionately. I felt the touch of her icy hand warm my face with affection as she looked at me deeply...

Amara: "You have no idea how much I suffered without you by my side... You have no idea-"

Before she could finish speaking, I hugged her again trying to convey comfort and understanding.

Anastasia: "It's going to be okay..."

I felt her icy tears on my shoulder as she agreed and hugged me tightly. Having calmed down, she took me to a place that looked like a secret passage at the back of the store, as soon as we entered I was speechless. This is more than magical, several vials stuck to the black walls along with unimaginable precious stones and a glass table near what looks like a cabinet full of scrolls. Everything here is so dazzling...

She held my hand and spoke affectionately:

Amara: "Isn't it beautiful?"

Anastasia: "It's very beautiful!"

Amara: "Guess where you are."

Anastasia: "Paradise?"

Amara: "Haha, no. We're in the elder reaper's personal office!"

She said that last word pointing to herself.

Anastasia: "Wait, so it's true? You're a reaper? And an ELDER?"

Amara: "Haha yes, I'm three thousand years old, little cup."

Anastasia: "Wow... That's amazing! And why is that nickname so familiar?"

Amara: "Because that's what I used to call you. My little cup..."

Her face suddenly turned somber as tears streamed down her face.

Anastasia: "We need to talk about this..."

She nodded and led me to another room next door, there was sparkling blue water flowing from an alliance-shaped fountain in the center and in front of it was a white tree dropping petals into the environment and underneath it a book magically levitating. We were walking on what looked like a bridge in the middle of the sparkling blue lake and when we got close to the tree I clearly felt the enormous mana emanating from the white tree... It was simply magnificent!

Amara: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Anastasia: "Beautiful is an understatement. This is just amazing!"

She gave a half smile and wouldn't stop staring at me as if I were going to leave at any moment. Near the tree was a white pearl swing bench and we sat on it while I admired my surroundings...

Amara: "Look at me, Anastasia."

I looked at her slightly and could see fear and anguish in her expression.

Amara: "We need to put an end to this anguish."

I nodded and turned to her waiting for whatever came out of her mouth...

Amara: "For me to tell our story, I need you to tell yours first."

I lowered my head remembering everything I've been through so far and looked up determined to tell all.

Anastasia: "All I know is that I'm a wolf and I come from a family of wolves from the Rize pack. My 'family' has always mistreated me since I was a child, my 'mother' hates me and my 'sister' envies me. I have always been hunted and persecuted, they made up barbaric things about me and spread them around the pack making everyone hate me deeply. I never had a mother's lap or a sister's love, let alone a father's comfort! I was a wolf who hadn't awakened her wolf until I was 16 and that only contributed to them slandering me even more."

I paused for a moment holding back the tears that insisted on coming and noticed my sister's somber expression, it was scary. Her look said she was about to kill someone at any moment!

Amara: "Go on."

Anastasia: "Days ago when I turned 16 I awakened my wolf and was given as the alpha's mate by the Moon Goddess Selene however... I... I was harshly rejected in the snow."

She stood up at once and I could hear thunder echoing through the sky demonstrating an intense fury.

Amara: "Damn wretches!"

Anastasia: "Calm down, sis... They're being fooled by those two, even though they're clueless, they're not to blame for what's happening."

Amara: "Just answer me one thing, Anastasia. Did they hurt you?"

I was silent and I could see the hatred in her face.

Amara: "I'm going to kill them all!
