Fated To My Sister's Chosen

Emilia's Pov There was once upon a time when l had it all. Loving parents, Amazing siblings, And above all my crush and best friend. I was born into the beta family of our pack, and l was the 4th of 5 siblings and also a twin and honestly my life couldn't get better. My twin sister and l were complete opposites and she was everything my parents wanted us to be while l was a bit of a tomboy and it irked my mom to no end, but still they treated us the same. Our brothers Liam who was taking over from our dad as beta, Brian and Max who were also twins and pack warriors loved and doted on us. The future Alpha, my best friend and secretly my crush Alex who happened to be 5 years older than meant the world to me, and at one point l couldn't imagine living without him. Alex and l were an unlikely pair, but we got along pretty well, being the future Alpha Alex was popular while l was invincible to everyone. While Alex only considered me his best friend and probably loved me more like a sister, l liked him a lot more than that. My entire life changed the day l turned eighteen. I lost my wolf and companion. I lost my sister. I lost my parents. I lost my brothers. I lost my best friend. I lost my mate, and l also lost a part of me. I made a choice 7 years back and every single day l am reminded of how much it cost me and l ask myself for what? and not a single day passes when l don't think about what could've been. I was distracted from my thoughts by the pounding on the door of my apartment. I quickly wore my gown and went to open the door, but l was surprised by the person knocking had l had my wolf l would have smelt her scent but l am no less than a human now. "Joy," l said gawking at her because l wasn't really expecting her. "I can't say this is the reaction l was expecting bestie." she said as she pushed me aside to enter, but l was still momentarily shocked to even react to her intrusive nature. Before l even knew it she was in my small kitchen stuffing herself with everything she could find in my fridge. "What are you doing here, Joy? " l asked her. "You could at least pretend to be happy to see me, Emilia." she said with a mouthful. "I am, but it's really surprising given the fact that l haven't seen you in 5 years." l said, moving closer to her and giving her a hug. "And whose fault is that?" she pouted while punching my arm. "You know l had to leave that place, but how did you find me?" l said as l led her to my sitting room, and we sat side by side. "Do you want the good news or the bad news first?" she said sheepishly and l eyed her suspiciously. "the good news first, l guess." "You and l are going to be spending a lot of time together like the good old days." she said, and l smiled. Joy may be a pain most of the time, but she was there for me when l had no one else, and she is truly my best friend. "Are you moving here?" l said excitedly. "No, but you are moving back home." l felt the blood drain from my face at her revelation. "No, way in hell!" l said, standing up and pacing around the small sitting room. "Alpha's orders." she said looking at me sympathetically. "Well, tell your Alpha to go to hell because there's no way I am coming back to pack." l said to her. "The pack, your family, and the Luna need you." she said. l snapped, "I. Don't. f*****g. Care." "You know l wouldn't have come if it weren't serious." she said calmly and l immediately regretted the way l spoke to her. "I am sorry Joy, but you of all people know what those people did to me, and l can't face Alex after the way l betrayed him, so please don't ask me to do this." l said while tears fell from my eyes. "I know bestie, and l feel you, but there's nothing l can do about this because the alpha commanded me to do this, and if l can't bring you back, then the guards will bring you back by force." "Why does he desperately want me back after all these years?" "I can't tell you that." she said shaking her head. "Well, l am not going anywhere until l know the reason why everyone suddenly needs me." l said heading to my bedroom and slamming the door shut. I tried to sleep but l couldn't get Joy's words out of my mind. Why would the pack and my family need me considering the fact that my family knew the reason why l had to leave? I built a life away from my family 5 years ago, and today l am being dragged back to that very place. If l go back home, l don't think I'll be able to survive the heartbreak of seeing my mate with another woman, but l also know that l can't disobey the alpha's command. When the sun started shining through my window, l felt like a ghost, l hardly slept while thinking about everything, l was tired and worst of all, l had work. I took a short shower, put on my waitressing uniform, and left the bedroom, only to find Joy sleeping in an uncomfortable manner on my sofa l felt sorry for her because I've slept on that sofa sometimes and the next morning all parts of my body were sore. I made breakfast for the two of us and by the time l finished Joy had woken up and she tried to talk to me, but l ignored her. After l had my breakfast and was about to leave for work, l heard her talk to me again. "How do you think Alpha would feel if he saw how small the place you are living in is, and you work as a waitress Emilia, do you think he'll buy your whole?" "l am happy, and l am living the best life that could possibly ask for a story, huh." "He'll doubt everything you ever told him and he'll want to know the real reason you left, all l am trying to say is that if the Pack guards come here they'll report everything to the Alpha and you don't want that." What she said made me halt in my steps but then l remembered what he said to me the last time we talked. "I hate you for leaving without saying a word and l hate how much l still care for you." "He doesn't care probably wishes am dead." l said wiping a lone tear from my face. When l closed the door to the apartment, l sobbed against the door for my mate. I gave up my mate 7 years ago for my family's happiness, but in return, l made my whole life miserable and l can't help but think of how Alex is and if he is happy without me. Why did the moon goddess bless me with a mate if she knew that l would always have to watch him happy with my sister from afar?
