Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 5

Chapter5

Violet’s POV

“Look at me now, I’m well passed 18 and still haven’t found my mate yet. Other girls at my age are married with children already. I lost my wolf as well. I become a useless person. I can’t run, can’t hunt, can’t do any excessive work, and it’s all because of you!”

“.Stop it,” my mom murmured, her eyes in pain.

But I wouldn’t stop. She needed to hear this.

“You did all those to help your favorite daughter. And how is she doing now? She is sick as hell,” I taunted, “So well done mom. You really ruined everything.”

She covered her mouth and-once again-burst into tears.

Her tears were such an old trick that it was starting to get boring.

“I.I didn’t have a choice!” she pointed a finger at me, sobbing, “Kylie was dying and the only thing that could save her was Alpha Asher! So what was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to just let her die?”

“NO! But why did you have to sacrifice my life to save her? Did it ever occur to you that I lost my mate, and I might die as well?”

I was so exhausted.

Arguing with mom was pointless. She would never realize what she did wrong. Because all she cared about was Kylie.

Deep down in her heart, she probably thought it was worth it to sacrifice my life in exchange for Kylie’s.

I dashed into the room and tried to slam the door on her face. But mom grabbed the door frame urgently. The door slammed shut and clamped her fingers.

“Mom!” I gasped. Her fingers were bleeding.

But she didn’t seem to notice that. She just stared at me and pleaded, “Please.help Kylie. You saw how sick she is. Help her.”

So this was what these all about.

Mom didn’t really mean to apologize. She was simply trying to manipulate me to help Kylie again. It was all about Kylie.

I couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous it was, “No mom. This time you are on your own.”

“Violet! She is your sister! How can you do this to your own family-“

“I already gave my family my everything. So how about this time you find another family member to manipulate? Maybe they are more willing to help you.”

I shut the door again.

The pain came, once again. I would never forgive my parents. Just like Asher would never forgive me for lying and leaving.

***

The next morning, I came down for breakfast and found everyone already at the table-except for Kylie.

Maybe she had her breakfast with Asher in their suite.

I tried not let myself to picture that image. Jealousy would devour me again.

Jayden was sitting next to me. He sniffed the air a couple of times and frowned.

“Why is your scent so light?” he asked abruptly.

I buttered my bread, keeping my eyes at my plate, “Maybe because you are wearing too much cologne and that is all you can smell, Beta Jayden.”

“No, seriously. It’s like you don’t have a wolf,” he stared at me. “What’s wrong, Violet? What happened to-“

I tossed the knife onto the plate with a loud, grating clatter.

The table went silent. Two beautiful women at the table-whom I believed was Michael and Philip’s mate-flinched at my behavior.

“Violet!” mom cried lowly.

I looked up at her. There was a flash of uneasiness in her eyes.

She was afraid others would find out what she had done.

I sneered internally. What a hypocrite.

Michael suddenly shot up from his chair, glaring at me, “Why are you acting like a baby, Violet? It’s you who cut off with all of us and ran away! You broke the whole family’s heart! You should be sorry!”

“Michael please-“

“No mom, I’m gonna say it! The whole family was with Kylie 7 years ago when she lost her mate. Except for Violet! Where’ve you been, Violet? Why don’t you care about your family!”

Philip eyed me by Michael’s side. His face told me that he agreed with Michael.

“You hurt everyone when you left home. So don’t come back here and pretend that you’re the victim. The only victim here is Kylie, who’s gotten this sick and heartbroken because of you,” Philip said coldly.

So that’s what they all thought.

“I’ve done enough for this family. But none of you was there when I needed you. So don’t point the finger at me now.”

I threw the tablecloth to the ground and turned to leave.

“Where are you going Violet?” mom cried.

I ignored her and stormed away.

Staying in the same room with my family was suffocating.

I couldn’t really blame my twin brothers for what they said since they didn’t know Kylie took my mate.

But if they gave me a bit more attention 7 years ago, I probably would be willing to tell them what happened.

And now? I can’t be bothered to tell them. Not worth it.

I wandered aimlessly in the packhouse. Before I knew it, I was in the garden.

It was rose season, and the air was fragrant and cool.

That smell triggered one of my deepest memories from the past-

My first kiss with Asher.

I was 16. I had been feeling a special bond with Asher. The way he looked at me, his touch, his smile.everything made my body hummed with pleasure.

I was so certain that he was my mate.

So at my sweet 16 birthday, when he asked what gift I wanted, I took him to the garden and asked if he could kiss me.

I was so nervous. I wasn’t sure if he would do it because he was the dream of every girl in this pack, and I wasn’t the most attractive one.

But he kissed me.

He held the back of my head and asked me to close my eyes. My eyes fluttered shut. And his lips were on mine.

It was the sweetest, most gentle thing in the world.

My heart was pounding so fast when we kissed. Later Asher told me that he was the same.

Now, standing at the same spot where it happened, I closed my eyes shakily and tried to let my heart take me back.

Take me back to a time when I still had hope for everything and Asher was still my mate.

Suddenly, fast footsteps approached me from my back.

I was spun around and pulled into a pair of strong arms.

“.Violet,” Asher whispered, his hot breath on my neck.

There was a moment when I couldn’t tell memory from reality.

“Asher what are you doing? Wake up, it’s me! Violet!” I gasped.

Was he out of his mind? He was married to my sister already!

“.I know,” he murmured.

Then he leaned in and caught my lips.

Just like what he did to me when I was 16.
