Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Sienna I unwrapped the small plastic paper carefully, the faint smell of honey and mint escaping as I plucked one sweet from the pile in my palm. Smiling. I leaned forward and offered it to Cross. "Brother, here you go." He looked at my hand, one brow lifting. His eyes were sharp as always, but I didn't flinch. I kept my smile in place. "I had Emma make these," I explained softly. "I know you hate carriage rides and get sick easily during long trips. These will make you feel a lot better." Cross's expression softened almost immediately.

He reached out, taking the sweet from my hand, and patted my head affectionately. "You're sweet," he said, smiling in that calm way he always did. "Thank you so much for caring about me." Heat bloomed in my cheeks, and I looked down quickly. "It's nothing, Brother. I just want to make sure you're well." From beside him, Kane groaned dramatically. "Sometimes I wish I had a weak body too." Cross and I both turned to him at once. Kane sighed, resting his chin on his palm, and muttered, "I'm jealous. You always seem to care about him. What about me?

I'm also your brother, and I don't like carriage rides either." Cross rolled his eyes. "Then stop talking and take a nap." Kane narrowed his eyes at him. "You scoundrel, I just saw your expression, you think I'm immature, don't you?" Cross didn't even open his eyes, leaning back against the carriage seat. "If you know, why ask?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Please don't fight," I said, reaching into my lap for another sweet. "Brother Kane, I was about to offer you one too." His irritation vanished instantly as I held it out to him.

He took the sweet with a grin and said, "You're so kind, especially to your brothers. I'm lucky to have you as my little sister." He added. "Since you'll have your wolf soon, you'll finally be able to live with your mate. I'll make sure Adrian treats you right." My face went red in an instant. "S-stop teasing me, Brother! We're not even sure if Prince Adrian is my mate to begin with." Kane smirked knowingly. "I'm not teasing. Everyone knows Prince Adrian is your mate. There are signs that this time around, the Moonborn will become Luna.

So everyone knows it's you." I smiled shyly at his confidence, but I still shook my head, my fingers tightening slightly around my skirt. "B-but... there's also Selene. She's a Moonborn too. She could become the Luna." Kane scoffed, waving a hand as if brushing off a fly. "That girl? Don't worry about her, Sienna. She's the fake Moonborn, while you are the real one. Everyone knows that. There's no way a fake like her could compare to you." Kane leaned back, his voice firm and confident. "She doesn't stand a chance against you. You're obviously Adrian's mate.

Everyone will know when you transform into the white wolf tonight. And when you see Adrian afterwards, you'll feel the mate bond." My heart fluttered at the sound of Adrian's name, my cheeks warming. I bit my lower lip shyly and nodded. "1-1 hope so. 1 just... I don't want to disappoint anyone, especially Father and the Alpha. They have so many expectations." With his eyes still closed, Cross spoke. "Don't worry about that. You could never be a disappointment, Sienna. You're perfect as you are." "Thank you, brothers," I said.

12:41 Tue, Dec 23 MG Chapter 22 The carriage rumbled quietly for a moment before I added, "What about Selene, though? I feel bad... today is also her birthday. Maybe we should've brought her with us to the auction." Kane immediately shook his head. "That's out of the question. She's bad luck, and we can't afford bad luck, especially at the auction. Things can get tricky there." "But-" "With you, everything is perfect. Your spiritual powers will guide us to the right artifact. And besides, that girl would only embarrass us if she came. It's better she stays home." "Alright...

then we can get something for her instead." Kane smiled. "Always so kind. After what happened, she doesn't deserve your kindness. She pushed you into the river, and yet, you still think about her." I looked down at my lap and sighed. "Yes. Even if she hates me, she's still my twin sister. I can't help but care about her." "That's good, Sienna. But don't let that girl bully you anymore, alright? You have us. We won't ever let anything happen to you." "I know, I'm lucky to have both of you." I turned my gaze toward the window, the soft rays of sunlight dancing across the glass.

My reflection stared back at me, I was composed, gentle, and perfect. But the moment no one was watching, the corners of my lips curled into a wicked smirk. That's right. No matter what that bitch does, I will always be everyone's favorite. The rhythmic clatter of the carriage wheels against the cobblestones faded into the background as another memory surfaced, that day by the river. I could still see her face, she is so trusting, and gullible. I told her I lost my pendant, the one Father gave me, and she, being the foolishly soft sister she always was, immediately offered to help me find it.

She searched along the riverbank, leaning over just far enough. It was so easy to act desperate, to pretend I was slipping, and when she reached out, how convenient that we both fell. Her panicked scream still echoed in my ears. And, as expected, when Emma shouted for help, it wasn't her name they called. It was mine. My brothers came running, their faces full of fear for me. They didn't even look at her as she struggled in the water. The only reason Kane jumped in after Selene was because they couldn't let her die, it would ruin the family's reputation if the fake Moonborn drowned.

I wanted to frame her that day, to let everyone see her as the monster who pushed me into the river. But then something happened, something I didn't expect. She swam out. Selene, who couldn't swim to save her life, swam out of that river herself. And when she looked at me, her eyes were different. They were cold, detached, and disgusted. She had never looked at me like that before. Not long after, I heard what had happened to her guard, how she'd stood by while that beast of hers nearly beat the man to death. That wasn't the Selene I knew.

The Selene I remembered would've cried, pleaded for forgiveness, done anything to avoid trouble. I wanted to make a scene, to use what happened to Arthur to drag her name through the mud, but I couldn't. Everyone said 12:42 Tue, Dec 23 Chapter 22 it was Arthur's fault for insulting her in front of the temple. Even my brothers wouldn't defend him in that case. So I kept quiet. But today would be different. Today was our birthday. The day everything would finally be clear. When I get my wolf, my beautiful, pure white wolf, the whole pack will see who the real Moonborn is.

Selene can keep her fake title, her fake power. and her fake pride. Because at the end of the day, everyone loves me. My brothers, my parents, the Alpha, Prince Adrian, they all look at me as if I'm their moonlight. I pressed my fingers to my lips, hiding my smirk as I gazed out the window again. Selene was probably sitting alone in that cold temple, sulking, pathetic and forgotten. Good. Let her watch from the shadows. Because from today onward, I'll make sure she never steps into the light again. E B AD Comment Send gift No Ads 12:42 Tue, Dec 230 MG.
