What?!
The guard held my arms. At first, I thought I am the one who will be seized but my eyes widened when the other guard tied up Freya’s arms. The guard dragged Freya away until they just disappeared.
“There is a baby inside her womb! Dad, are you still even thinking?!” I shouted at Dad who had no emotion on his face and just looking straight at the guard.
“I despise people who could bring curse in my life,” he said coldly and looked at me.
“Dad . . .” I said. I really can’t believe it.
“From now on, you will act as your twin sister, Mia Eveleigh. It’s your job, isn’t it?” he ordered me sarcastically.
“No!” I answered firmly, causing Dad to stop.
I bravely stared at Dad for a long time. But then he chuckled. “Then what are you going to do? Follow your sister? You’re going to the Kingdom of Avalonn—for what? To welcome your death?”
My fist clenched in anger. “I’m gonna save my twin and I’ll prove to you that your beta is a liar,” I said and turned away.
But before I could step out, Dad spoke again, “If you just only know how dangerous Magnus Haven is, the Alpha of BloodPearl Pack. You’d rather just stay in this palace and follow my orders.” Dad said it deeply as if he was warning me so that I could stop.
Dad added, “Pretend to be your twin sister, that’s an order from your Alpha.”
Dad continued walking and passed me, so did Lucas who was already behind Dad.
Meanwhile, at the end of that day, after Dad ordered me to pretend to be Freya in front of many people, he announced to everyone that the birthday celebration was over. He excused himself to everyone that Freya just felt bad and was resting in her room.
But that night, I immediately packed and didn’t think twice about running away from our palace.
Before I could completely leave, I turned back to see the palace I came from. There I also saw the light of the full moon.
Oh, Moon Goddess . . . help me, I said in mind.
But I remembered again what Dad had said about the Alpha of BloodPearl Pack.
There’s a lot of hearsay about Magnus Haven but he remains mysterious to me, but I don’t care. I am not afraid to him. I know Dad is just manipulating so he could stop me but I will go anyway.
I’m gonna save my twin sister, I told myself and turned around. I put on the hood of my cloak as I continued to step out.

I was walking in the middle of the snowy woods. The snow is over and the sun could be seen shining through the branches of the trees. However, that’s not enough to relieve the cold I feel.
I was wearing a white cloak while carrying a large luggage containing clothes and food on my back. I covered my face in the hood in fear that someone might recognize me as my twin sister.
It's been a week and I didn’t expect everything to end like this, where my twins and I got separated. Week passed before I managed to escape from our pack, welp, thankfully.
Alpha Dominn, my Dad, however, have tried to capture me and fortunately, he did not succeed. No matter what Dad does, he will never force me to pretend to be my twin. Yes, I harbored a grudge against him because he shamed me but that doesn’t mean I will be thirst for the position he gave to Freya. Dad can reject me for all I care? I will not be controlled by him anymore.
“Fuck his reputation,” I whispered in annoyance.
Now, my concern for Freya is beyond my reach, especially knowing that she has been wandering for a long time in the Kingdom of Avalonn, where the BloodPearl Pack stands; the enemy of the pack I belong to.
BloodPearl Pack, how can I assure my twin’s safety if people there are known to be the bloodlusts?
That’s why I didn’t hesitate to pack up and run away from the palace. I have to save Freya and the pup in her womb from the BloodPearls.
I said people in BloodPearl Pack and not their Alpha. Yeah, I nodded.
Since I was a kid, I didn’t know anything outside the palace. But it’s different now.
Like I can’t believe I can now able to hear something from people in our pack. And if I was not mistaken, I heard Magnus Haven was popular for being the youngest among all the alphas.
So tell me how can a little boy capture a grown woman like me? Like, really, huh.
I shook my head. People’s basis nowadays on choosing their Alpha seems like only to have a royal blood. They didn’t even think if a little kiddo like Magnus Haven can manage that position.
Wait.
I snapped out and suddenly stopped for a moment. That’s when I saw someone running towards my path. And right after a second, I gasped as I covered my mouth in shock.
“Freya?” I said.
And I wasn’t wrong when I heard her say, “Mia?”
When Freya finally got close to me, my eyes widened and I looked at her from head to toe. She was also wearing her white cloak like mine but she was already covered in dirt and wounds especially on her face.
I looked around. If that’s the case, the territory I’m walking now is the Kingdom of Avalonn? And I’m already in the BloodPearl Pack?
I took off my hood. Oh god, thankfully, my twin sister was now in front of me.
I was about to hug Freya when she suddenly slapped me hard. “How dare you report me to Dad?” she said while anger was heard in her voice.
Holding my face, I looked at her. But I calmed myself down instead and grabbed her wrist, I saw that the black pupmark was still there but I ignored it.
“Let’s go home, Freya,” I begged. “We have to prove to Dad that Lucas is also responsible for this—”
“No!” she answered immediately. “Don’t you see? I’m a rogue now, Mia!”
“Freya, calm down,” I said worriedly.
“Calm down?” she repeated angrily. “How can I calm down in this situation? Tell me, Mia!”
I kept my mouth shut and watched Freya for a moment. Then she worriedly held her forehead and walked back and forth. She looks like she never rests for a day.
“Is there something wrong?” I asked my twin sister.
Freya stopped on walking back and forth. She looked at me. The deep worry that she had been hiding for a while appeared on her face.
Suddenly, she approached me and held me in both hands. “Mia, I think we have a problem,” she said.
A problem? I thought.
“Oh, yeah,” I nodded. “We have to go back—”
“No, that’s not what I meant,” she cut me off.
I looked at her hands holding mine. This is the first time she did that to me. And I don’t know what to feel, now that I feel her hands was shaking.
It must be really a serious matter.
“What is it?” I asked hesitantly.
Freya took a deep breath and said, “I’ve met him, I’ve met my mate.”
