And Then There Were Four

Hale handed me my mother's car keys after he spoke, causing me to nod in understanding. I had disappointed him, and that was something that didn't sit well with me.

Gritting my teeth, I turned and made my way to my mother's car sitting at the end of the driveway. I didn't mind driving her vehicle. She had a beautiful Lexus and it was better than having to walk or have one of my parents drop me off. Putting the car into drive, I backed out of the driveway and started heading down the road. Everything that had been going on was complete bullshit and I was sick and tired of my sister going at it with me as if she had some type of objective to win. Everything was perfect at one point in time and then it seemed like a few years ago she changed her personality and became this rebellious bitch who solely sought to make my life a living hell.

We were supposed to be close. She was my fucking twin. Yet, it didn't matter what I said or did, she never had my back. I tried so many times to help her and all she did was turn her aggression and anger towards me. Maybe she was jealous of me, who knows.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

The moment I pulled into the school parking lot, I saw Ashley standing there. She knew my mother's vehicle and, with a furrowing brow of confusion, she walked towards the car as soon as I stepped out. "Where's your truck?" "In the shop," I replied flatly, deciding not to tell her the truth. It was honestly none of her business and I was in a bad mood. The last thing I even wanted to do was speak to her.

"Okay, so then why didn't you bring your bike? Why would you bring your mother's car? It's so not cool."

Stopping in my tracks, I turned to face her. I couldn't believe how petty she actually was and this, honestly, was the last straw. "Ashley, I don't know what it is that you expect to have out of being with me, but I can tell you right now this relationship needs to end. You and I are done. I don't have time to deal with Whatever grievances you have. I don't care about matching outfits. I don't care about what vehicle I drive. I'm the future Alpha of this pack, and I actually have more important things to worry about than how

good you look."

She stared at me in shock, her eyes brimming with tears as her mouth hung open. "I'm going to be your future wife. You can't do this," she whispered, trying to keep her voice down as she looked around at everybody around her.

"No, you're not Nobody knows who

my mate is going to be, and I will only marry my mate, Ashley. You need to realize that and accept it The cold response was not what she wanted, and I didn't care anymore. I was tired of her petty bullshit, and I was tired of my sister, too.

Before I turned to try and walk away from her, she spoke again and her words stopped me in my tracks. "You're such a fool if you think that this is going to be the end. Your sister is playing her fucking games and messing with your head She wants the title too, and if you think you're the only one who can have it, you're wrong. She's your twin, and by law, she can lay claim."

I had no idea what she was talking about, and had never heard that law. However, honestly, the more I started overthinking things, the more her behavior made sense. Perhaps she did want the title.

Maybe everything she has been claiming to want all these years has been a lie.

Maybe she's waiting for the right moment to strip it all away from me.
