Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Elmyth Quietcore by Mark Twain** **Chapter 2** Chloe's most loathed sight was Tessa's apathetic expression, an expression that radiated an air of indifference, as if nothing in the world could ruffle her feathers. It infuriated Chloe to no end. "You've never cared about me," Chloe shot back, her voice laced with frustration.

"This has been the case ever since we were children." The words tumbled out, heavy with years of pent-up resentment. "But how can you not respect Mom and Dad?" Tessa retorted, her tone defensive, as if she were standing guard over their parents, Liam and Audrey. Before Tessa could further articulate her thoughts, Ryan, who had been seated nearby, interjected. "Don't be upset, Chloe. Tessa didn't mean it," he said, his voice soothing, like a balm to Chloe's wounded spirit. "Don't hold it against her," he added gently, his warmth wrapping around Chloe like a comforting embrace.

Ryan's intent was clear; he wasn't merely defending Tessa but rather seeking to ease Chloe's distress. This wasn't the first time he had played this role, and he had honed the skill of calming Chloe down to perfection. His phone buzzed incessantly with messages, each one a testament to his affection for Chloe, a digital echo of his feelings that he wore like a badge of honor. Tessa felt a wave of foolishness wash over her, a bitter realization dawning that she had been oblivious to Ryan's secret account. Everything on that hidden Instagram was a shrine dedicated to Chloe.

His main account, his lock screen-everywhere she looked, he seemed to erase her from existence, as if their shared moments had never taken place. Not only did Ryan possess the uncanny ability to soothe Chloe, but he also effortlessly endeared himself to Liam and Audrey. His height, his striking good looks, and his accolades as the top of his class in Alpha training made him the quintessential son-in-law, a perfect fit to fortify pack relations. As the atmosphere shifted, Liam and Audrey's stern expressions softened, their smiles emerging like the sun breaking through clouds.

They turned their attention to Tessa, their voices bright with enthusiasm. "Alright, sit down. Alpha Ryan is your mate. You're so lucky!" they exclaimed, their words dripping with approval. Ryan beamed at Tessa, his smile wide and genuine, a reflection of their shared future. Yet, unbeknownst to him, Tessa despised that sycophantic smile more than anything else in the world. She refused to meet his gaze, but her peripheral vision caught the sight of his hand, subtly intertwined with Chloe's beneath the table.

A surge of emotions threatened to overwhelm her, and she quickly lifted her head, a lump forming in her throat. Words eluded her, and a sharp ache settled in her chest as she forced herself to continue eating, pretending that everything was perfectly fine. She wrestled with her emotions, determined not to reveal how deeply wounded she felt. Her thoughts flickered to the cruise ship's arrival date. Soon, she would escape this man, this stifling home, and the pack that had never truly accepted her.

The following morning, Ryan stirred her awake with a gentle kiss, but Tessa instinctively turned her head away, avoiding his touch. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. Ryan, radiating excitement, wrapped her in a tight embrace. "Did you forget? We're going to try on wedding dresses today!" His enthusiasm was palpable, filling the room with an electric energy. Tessa froze, the weight of the past few days crashing down on her. The overwhelming nature of it all made it hard to process his words immediately. She nodded softly, her mind racing.

They still had a week until the wedding, a week that felt like an eternity. "I've been waiting so long for this day, babe. Finally, we can seal the mate bond," he said, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. Even the date for the mating ceremony had been set by Chloe, a constant reminder that she could never truly escape her. Ever since they had both been adopted from the orphanage, Chloe had never accepted the idea of sharing the title of Alpha's daughter. She had always intended to be the one and only. Chloe had been actively undermining Tessa, plotting and framing her in various ways.

Tessa's gaze remained icy as she watched Ryan, her resolve hardening. She had already made up her mind-on their wedding day, she would deliver a shocking "surprise." Ryan looked so blissful as he smiled at her, his joy evident. But was his happiness rooted in Tessa finally becoming his Luna, or was it a reflection of his success in winning over Chloe? Perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, it no longer mattered. Upon arriving at the wedding dress shop, Tessa was taken aback to see Chloe there.

At first glance, Chloe was adorned in the wedding dress that Tessa had meticulously ordered and customized. Without so much as a request for Tessa's approval, Chloe had donned the gown, grinning with delight as she posed in front of the mirror. Ryan approached her, his admiration evident in his gaze. He couldn't hide his appreciation as he exclaimed, "Wow, Chloe, you look beautiful." Chloe beamed back at him, her eyes sparkling with triumph, as if they were the ones about to get married. "Tessa, do you mind if I try on your wedding dress?

It should be fine, right?" she asked, her tone drenched in feigned innocence. "I'm so envious that you're about to become the Luna of the Silvermoon pack. Unlike me, our parents won't let me be the Luna of any other pack-they only want me to be the Luna of ours." Not just the dress, but this man-everything seemed within Chloe's grasp. Ryan's gaze remained fixated on Chloe, his admiration palpable. "Chloe is so cute. Liam and Audrey probably can't bear to let you leave the pack," he remarked, his words sounding like polite flattery, yet infused with genuine affection.

Tessa felt a wave of disgust rise within her, and she shot a cold look at Chloe. "Are you done wearing it? Take it off," she commanded, her voice firm and unyielding. Conclusion In the tumultuous landscape of their intertwined lives, the emotional turmoil that Tessa faced reached its zenith in the wedding dress shop. The sight of Chloe, draped in the very gown meant for her, was a bitter reminder of the years spent in the shadows of her sister's triumphs. Tessa's heart, once filled with hope for a shared future, now pulsed with a blend of resentment and determination.

As Ryan's gaze lingered on Chloe, Tessa felt the weight of her own worth being overshadowed, igniting a fierce resolve within her. She could no longer remain a silent participant in this familial drama; the time had come for her to reclaim her narrative, to assert her identity beyond the expectations placed upon her by Chloe and the pack. As the confrontation loomed, Tessa's emotions crystallized into a singular purpose. She was no longer willing to be the overlooked sister, the one who always played second fiddle to Chloe's whims.

The wedding day, once a symbol of union and joy, now stood as a battleground for her autonomy and self-worth. With every heartbeat, she prepared herself for the shocking revelation she intended to unveil, a declaration that would disrupt the status quo and challenge the perceptions of those around her. In this moment of clarity, Tessa recognized that the path to liberation lay not in the acceptance of her role but in the bold assertion of her own desires. The future was hers to shape, and she was ready to step into the light, no longer defined by her sister's shadow.

With the wedding ceremony looming and secrets threatening to surface, readers can anticipate a whirlwind of emotions, shocking revelations, and a climax that will leave them breathless, eager to discover how these tangled relationships will unravel. Mark Twain
