Chapter 46
Seeing that Taya was upset, Harper hurried forward to stop her from leaving the room, but Taya pushed her away. Harper sighed helplessly. "Why are you so damn stubborn?"
"You've cared for me since I was young, since I didn't have a wolf to rely on. I've never been able to do anything for you. I've always been the poor little human who couldn't fend for herself." Taya paused. "Just think of it as a gift from your little sister. A thank-you for everything you've done for me."
Harper still didn't agree. Taya's life was already difficult enough, and she wasn't sure how things would go now that she didn't have Griffon taking care of her and now that Harper was moving. How could she ever accept Taya's money when she didn't know what was going to happen to her?
But...what she could do right now was just take the card, don't spend anything, and give it back to her later. Maybe when Taya got married. Taya would be happy, and they wouldn't fight. Plus, one good dowry deserved another, right? Or something like that.NôvelDrama.Org content.
After packing some more of Harper's belongings, they lay in Harper's room on the bed.
Just like when they were younger, applying face masks and dreaming about the future.
Harper talked to Taya about getting mated, told her that breaking up with Griffon was good for her because a man of his status would never marry someone without a wolf. An Alpha like him needed a Luna, and unfortunately, no matter how much Taya wished for it, she couldn't be that for him.
“There are some humans around here, you know. Or at least men without wolves who were born into shifter families. You should find a nice guy at some of the human bars. It'll be too hard for you to mate a shifter. There are too many expectations regarding mating and pups."
She also mentioned that no matter what happened to either of them, they would always have this house to come back to. Harper didn't plan on selling it. The orphan in her would never NOT let her have a backup in case things went wrong.
With this house, they would always have security.

I sat in bed, agreeing with everything Harper said. I didn't dare let her notice anything unusual.
I simply hugged her, feeling at peace and enjoying this moment with her.
Life might not have always given me the best, but it gave me Harper, my chosen sister. I could die knowing at least I'd had this.
I slept peacefully with Harper in my arms, just like when we were children.
This was the most calmly I had slept in the past few days. The time passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Harper's mating ceremony.
