Shattered Bonds; Twins lies

Emily POV Running back,I held my hand over my mouth to avoid screaming and getting spotted. She killed him and she knew she had been seen. But I know I won't tell anyone, they won't even believe me and might think I killed him. I regretted the last one and it was from self defense,but my family cared less. Only favour they did for me was to keep the secret from the pack. Funnily Ivy was the black sheep of our family but everyone was obsessed with her. She began to feel conscious of it. “But you can't seem to do anything right. Why can't you be like her for crying out loud? Why?" My father asked, looking at me with a very bitter expression like I couldn't do anything right. But I was trying, I was trying really hard but Ivy was so much better than me. And I couldn't even accomplish half of anything in the pack since she would clear it before I even get to her. “I'm sorry father. I would try my best to get better at something like Ivy." I replied, holding back the tears that were threatening to pour down from my cheeks. I couldn't do anything about so I had gotten used to it, I won't have a life of mine until she gets her mate and leave. Bad? No, I wasn't ready to have a mate rather. But I hoped it would be someone who was worth so I would be finally able to do something worthy in my parent's perspective. Something that would get their validation, I don't mind doing whatever possible to win them over. Tears streamed out of my eyes four years later, as I overheard the heartbreaking conversation between my dad and his friend. My heart raced with fear. He hates me. I muttered underneath my breath, closing my eyes as I could visualize the intense hatred in his face. "She can't be my daughter. A wimpy little brat as a daughter is a curse. I will get rid of her no matter what it would take me." my dad swore, his voice laced with seriousness and bitterness. I felt a surge of adrenaline gushing through my veins. "Emily, you need to leave. Don't listen to him, so your feelings won't get hurt." A familiar voice said, I turned and Ivy and my stepmom were standing beside me looking at me with a sad expression on her face as she hugged me tightly. I nodded, and walked out heading to the Alpha's palace where he had thrown a ball as he wanted to find his mate. I didn't want to go but Ivy had encouraged me to do so, pointing out that I might be lucky to be his mate. “ You should go there too with your fellow females, you might end up meeting your mate. And I hope he would be overly obsessed with you. " She said, laughing as she walked out of my room with her gown in her hands. An idea which I scoffed at. "This way ma'am." The guard at the door said, gesturing to a door and I smiled, heeding his directions. I entered a huge ball filled with beautiful ladies clothed in expensive dresses that made me less of myself. Why did I ever agree to come here? I should have stayed back at home with my books and food. I would have felt more comfortable there than coming to a place where I was looking off. I knew then and there that I wasn't going to fit in here, walking to the exit when I heard an animalistic growl behind me. A scent waffling into my nostrils intoxicating I and my wolf Zira. But I couldn't turn back as I wasn't ready to meet her or him. I wished it would be her, that way I would feel safer. He might make me feel lesser of myself. The whole hall silenced and I turned wondering what happened when my eyes got in contact with Zarek, the handsome young Alpha of my pack. "Mate!" He snapped, and my wolf danced in excitement. The whole crowd were staring at me with shock and I felt conscious of how I look. He walked closer pulling me to his hard chest, shivers ran through my body with my heart beating in an ecstatic rhythm. Two weeks later, I had to live with him for the customary bride stay, to enhance him knowing me. But those days were so scary as he wouldn't keep his hands to himself, he got pissed repeatedly because I won't let him get his way with me until I couldn't fight back and he had his way. An arrogant and cheating monster was Zarek, I couldn't believe I would be stuck with someone like him my whole life. I prepared some sponge cake taking it in a tray in a bid to get his attention, I was let in and he scoffed immediately upon seeing me. "What are you doing here?" He asked, not even sparing me a glance. My heart clenched in pain, but I would not let him see my tears. "I just wanted to give these to you, I'm sorry." I said, dropping the tray as I turned to leave. "I didn't ask for it. Take it back." He said, and I whimpered turning as I picked the tray and left ignoring his insults. I was sure I haven't done anything wrong to him, he should have rejected me without letting me go through all these. I locked myself up in my room for days till I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to confront him about his actions. Opening the door to find Ivy in his bed, they were naked with their hands fondling each other. I winced and looked up to see a smile on their faces. I turned to leave as I couldn't take all this anymore, he was going too far and this was the height of it. "Don't you dare leave. Sit and watch." Zerek said , his voice filled with warning and threats. I was hurt by his betrayal as we were mates but I was shattered by Ivy's. They had s*x in my presence while I sat down watching them as Zerek would carry his threat out if I didn't obey him. My heart clenched in pain. Zira, my wolf , was shocked and silenced. "I,Zerek Blackwood, reject you Emily Sinclair as my mate as you are unworthy of the role." He growled, "And I take Ivy to be with my mate and Luna." He said, and Ivy smiled. All her pretences were all a facade and she was showing her true self. I was stunned, feeling very weak and foggy as I staggered back trying to keep myself up. I was annoyed with him for treating me like this. Running out, going into the woods to kill myself as I couldn't go back as my father would add the frustration making my life more diffcult. "Shush. Don't let her see you else she would get away." I heard leaves rustling as I perceived rogues coming closer. "Let me go." I screamed out, thrashing as strong hands held me while stuffing me into a bag. I passed out from suffocation, when I woke up next I found myself tied to a stake. "Good, you are awake now. Let the bidding begin." I heard, and men gathered round. "Ten thousand." A man said, and I looked towards his direction. He was too old and I looked down regretting why I had left the pack to get into a more terrible situation. "Twenty." They went on. Grinning from ear to ear as they were enthusiastic about getting a lady much younger than them. "A million." The crowd cheered, watching the four men who had bidded humans like goods, and I could identify the handsome werewolf as an Alpha. "Sold. They will sort among themselves." The leader said, grinning from ear to ear. "What would we do with her?" The vampire among them asked, looking at me with his nose turned down with disgust. "I won't share her with any of you, especially this cold-blooded being." The Alpha said, his hands already running through the hems of my dress as I squirmed around in fear. "She's delicate and I can't wait to wreck her." A young man said, licking his lips in a way that disgusted me. Feeling a pair of eyes staring at me with his green eyes piercing through me. I shuddered only at his look, he hadn't said anything but his presence was dangerous. "I'm taking her. She would pay for her father's sin." What did my father do? That wasn't my problem for now, I needed to get away from here or I would be used like a slut. Looking at the door as the men got distracted, I began to run ignoring the fact that the men were chasing and shooting to scare me. Thorns were cutting through my feet, whimpering but I couldn't stop running. My feet were moving in their own accord already. I slipped and I fell into a pit,trying to get out but I stopped at the sound of their feet running over the top of the pit. A man stopped looking into the pit and smiled, dropping a piece of bag to me as he smiled again running off towards his crew leaving me stunned to death. Why was my own enemy helping me? I should get out of here immediately. Running into the pack line and I stumbled to the floor breathing out in relief, I was safe now as they wouldn't dare crass into our pack. That's breaking the rules and my c**k isn't one to be messed with, irrespective of the fact I wasn't useful to anyone. “Isn't that the lady the alpha have been looking for? Seize her now!" A guard said, and I snapped my head up in shock. What was happening? What did I do wrong? Or is this the wrong pack? I asked myself, watching as I was surrounded by three different hefty wolves. “You shouldn't be here, you have been bansished. And we were told to kill you if you dar come back after hearing the news, and well since you are just coming back. You would be spared but you have to go back. Wait? Banished? Me? Why?
