Chapter 3

TWO YEARS LATER:-

ADAM'S POV:-

I came back home after a long time. It had been so long since I had met my parents. I was the youngest child of my parents. That's why my parents loved me more than they had loved the other siblings of mine. My siblings were jealous of me. That's why I decided to stay away. I am Beta of the Blue Moon Pack. The Alpha trusts me more than his life. I had to beg my Alpha every time I visited my parents. I knew they just couldn't live without me.

I entered the house, it was quite around. I haven't witnessed it quite ever in my life. I didn't talk to anyone. I went straight to my parents room. I knocked at the door and waited for my mother to invite me in. But my mother didn't reply. I used my super hearing sense. I heard her sobbing quietly and my father was cooing at her. I opened the door and both snapped their heads towards me.

They both stood up as they saw me. They came to me and hugged me. I hugged them back. I had missed them both. But because of my responsibilities as a Beta, I couldn't live with them. "Thank God you are here Adam. I didn't know what to do in a situation like this" My mother whispered softly.

"What do you mean, mother? Is everything okay?" I asked worriedly. I knew something was wrong. It was written all over their faces.

"Someone abducted our Annie. No one is doing anything to bring her back home. Please do something." My mother said and my heart sank in the pit of my stomach.

"How did that happen?" I asked.

"Skylar again took her shopping to carry her bags. She came back alone. I asked her about Annie and she carelessly told me that someone abducted her on their way back home. I am so worried, Adam." She replied and started crying again.

"Don't worry mother. I will find her." I replied and exited their room. Anika and Skylar are sisters. Daughters of my older brother. But they both weren't treated equally. Two years ago, there was an accident. Anika saved about fifty lives but in that accident, she got her face scarred hideously. But that's not all. Skylar was born with the silver spoon in her mouth. She was born with the wolf that was expected as the future Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, as an enchantress had told her parents.

They were told that Skylar will be the future Luna. So everyone treated her like a princess while Anika was treated like a slave. She didn't even have her separate bedroom. I gave her my room. That poor kid is just punished for something good she had done.

I knew it was useless to ask anything to that little brat Skylar. So I decided to go and asked the driver who had taken the girls shopping. I went to the driver who was playing cards with the other drivers. Seeing me, they all stood up and bowed their heads. After all, the Beta is most respected after the Alpha and his Luna. "Who had taken Anika?" I asked in an angry tone.

"Forgive me Beta Adam, but I haven't seen him. It happened when I wasn't around." He replied. I gritted my teeth over his irresponsibility. He and all the other drivers were ordered to keep the girls safe. But he had failed.

"Weren't you ordered to keep them safe?" I asked angrily.

"I was only ordered to keep Luna Skylar safe, not that hideous creature." He replied with a disgusted face. I would have ripped his throat out and he knew that as well. Because in the next second he was licking my shoes and was begging for forgiveness.

"If I see a single scratch on her body, you will be locked with the dogs for ten days. And more than one scratch will multiply your punishment." I said and walked towards the gates of the mansion. As I reached the gates, a very familiar scent hit my nostrils. I frowned and sniffed the air. I smiled when it was confirmed that it was him. It was Ethan.

"So you caught me again, kid." He said and I went to him. I hugged him.

"I need something that belongs to Anika." He said and my eyes widened. I quickly recovered from the shock because I knew he could read minds.

"That's not because I can read minds, but because Master Dalton had sent me to save Anika. We have to hurry." He said and I nodded my head. I quickly went back to my room and grabbed the bunny I had gifted her on her 7th birthday. She always kept it close to her chest. It is the only toy she had. Because she never showed it to anyone. Or Skylar always takes her toys away.

I gave the pink bunny to Ethan. He started reciting a spell. In a minute, the bunny started floating in the air. We both hopped into his car. That's when I noticed he wasn't alone. He came with a very stunning blonde woman. The bunny started moving and Ethan started following it.

In a few minutes he parked the car in front of an abandoned warehouse. We all hopped out of the car and followed the bunny. I could hear her cries and her begs. She was begging someone to leave her alone and not to do whatever they were doing. As we entered the hall I saw that poor child into a cage. The rogues were pulling her hair to trim them with their claws. I and Ethan ran to save her but got trapped. An enchantress came, grinning mischievously. She must have cast a spell to bind us. She started laughing hysterically while that poor kid was crying.

I suddenly looked at the blonde woman. The spell didn't work on her at all. She ran towards the rogues and before the enchantress could understand what happened, she decapitated both rogues in just one easy swing of her sword. I looked at Ethan who had a proud grin plastered on his face. He signalled me to look down. I looked down and found the boundaries were burning. "Her blood can undo any spell she wants to undo." He answered my question and grinned. I lunged myself at the rogues who were about to attack Anika and the blonde woman. While Ethan grabbed the enchantress by her throat. He ripped her throat out with his claws while I killed each of the rogues who dared to hurt my little princess.

The blonde woman freed Anika and carried her in her arms. She cooed to Anika and Anika stopped crying. Anika looked at me and opened her arms for me to carry her. I smiled and carried her. She went to the dead enchantress and tore her bag. She found two envelopes in it. She put it inside of her pocket.

"Who is she?" I asked.

"She is my soulmate, Calla Davis." He replied. We all exited the warehouse. I grabbed Annie's bunny and gave it to her. We all went to Ethan's car. We all hopped into the car. Ethan recited a spell and snapped his fingers twice. In a few minutes, the warehouse started burning and Ethan drove away. He dropped us back at my parents mansion. I stepped out of the car with Annie sleeping peacefully in my arms.

"You two can have a future." He said but before I could say anything, he drove away. I shrugged my shoulders and made my way towards the house. My little angel was sleeping peacefully and I needed to take her back to her room.

Chapter 4

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 the 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 bare 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 spoke, then asked me when he noticed my puffy eyes.

"Skylar tore my new dress. I have nothing to wear." I replied to me 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.

Chapter 5

ADAM'S POV:-

I was sitting on one of the couches, 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 James calling me. I looked up from my book towards my brother who was standing in front of me.

"Alpha's messenger, Kara is waiting for you. He came to see you." He said and I looked at the man behind James. I stood up and went towards the man. He was the messenger of Alpha Thomas and me. And his name was Kara. He was only used to convey important messages between the Alpha and me.

"Hi, Kara. What's up?" I asked him while signalling him to walk with me. I took him towards the safer corner of the house. I definitely did not want anything important to be heard by someone brainless. The other siblings I had along with their kids were nice. But James and his bratty bitch, Skylar, they were hell. Not so much for me but my little angel had suffered a lot because of these brainless dofus dad and daughter. Not that the others were nice to her. No one was nice to her except for me and my parents.

"I have brought greetings from the Alpha. I was told to deliver this box to you and the special message by our great Alpha. He said, ``take care of this box until my arrival. I will be there in a few minutes. Don't let any soul know that I will be at your home. Make sure, no one touches the box until the arrival of the Alpha family." He said and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Wait, our Alpha? He is coming here? At my angel's birthday party? And that too, along with his whole family? Did I miss something or what?" I asked Kara who shrugged his shoulders as if he knew nothing.

"Alpha did not tell me anything else, Beta Adam. He just told me that and then he was yelling at our Luna to be ready in time so they will not be late for the party. He looked very excited. Last I had seen him happy when he had announced you as his Beta." He replied and I just nodded my head. I knew there must be something important in his mind. That was the reason why he decided to come over instead of calling me to the pack house.

"Thank you for your service, messenger Kara. I will take care of everything. You can rest for now." I said and looked around.

"Mick, son, take messenger Kara to one of the guest rooms. He needs to take some rest." I told the son of my second brother, Erik.

"Okay, uncle Adam. This way, messenger Kara." He said and took Kara towards the guest rooms. I sighed and went towards the entrance where a big box, wrapped in a decent but beautiful wrapper, was placed.

"Erik, brother, would you please help me with this box?" I asked as I saw him walking around. He smiled as he always did and came to me, nodding his head.

"That's such a huge box. I bet James has bought something for his princess." He said as he pushed the box inside the house and towards the main hall where the party was held. I shook my head and Erik frowned in confusion.

"This is not for Skylar, I bet. It is a special gift. We will all know soon about that. Let's just see who will get it and what is inside." I told him half of the truth, I avoided telling him the other half. My Alpha had asked me to keep that part of the information for myself only, I had never broken his trust, ever. That was the reason why I was chosen as the Beta of the Blue Moon Pack. Alpha Thomas thought that I was the person he could trust blindly. That was why he chose me to be his right hand. As we settled the box in the corner of the hall, I sighed in relief. It was not just huge, it was heavy as well.

"Oh my gosh! Everyone, look here. My daddy has bought me the biggest gift of all. He loves me more than anyone. Let me open it so you all can see what is inside the box." The brat Skylar said in an excited tone as she saw the box Alpha had sent. Before she could even touch the box, I grabbed her by her arm and pulled her far away from the box.

"That is not for you. You have gotten thousands of boxes. Go and open them. If you dare to even look at that box, I will break your legs at your stupid birthday party. Mark my words." I growled at her in anger. She gritted her teeth and stomped her foot on the floor.

"So you bought it for your slut. Guess what, I like that box and I am going to keep it. Buy something else for your slut." She replied and I grabbed her arm again. This time, I dug my nails in her skin to make my anger and my point clearer for her.

"You listen to me, you little brat. First of all, you call her names and I will rip that little piece of junk out of your mouth. Secondly, if you touch that box… no, if you even look at it, I will kick you out of your comfy bedroom. You will be punished to sleep in the kitchen, where you made Anny sleep for so many nights." I growled at her, this time even angrier than before. She winced in pain, then she started shivering as she heard my angry tone. I pushed her and she went running towards her father to get that box. Or that was what I thought.

SKYLAR'S POV:-

Seeing the hatred in Uncle Adam's eyes for me as always, my chest burned with pain. I ran straight towards my bedroom. I shut the door and sat down on the ground. I did not know why he hated me this much. Once, just once I wanted him to talk to me like he always talked to Anika. Hugging my knees tightly, I started crying.it was not the box or not even the things inside of it.

If he had once given me just a pair of socks, I would be more than happy. But he never brought me anything. He always brought many things for Anika. But nothing for me. I wanted his attention too. I wanted him to buy me something. Maybe a tissue paper. I would not mine at all. But I wanted him to call me just Skylar at once but not brat or bitchy Skylar.

Knowing the fact that he hated me for some reason, it always broke my heart. Once all my tears were out of my system, I stood up and retouched my makeup. Once done, I put on my bitchy smile back and went to my dad. I wanted what he had brought for Anika. I did not care if he would break my legs.
