Chapter 2
SAGE
I feel like I'm betraying Holt as I took a cab going to Emily's address. I know I should trust Holt, but there's a voite inside me telling me to check it out. Annika was never nice to me, but she didn't have to lie to me either. She has no reason to do so, which makes me convince more that there's truth with what she told me. My heart was racing as I slowly walked towards the door of Emily's house. My heart sank when I saw Holt's car parked outside their house. Despite the obvious truth, I still wanted to hear it from Holt's mouth.

1 blew a loud breath as I stand outside the door. I was contemplating whether I should pressed the doorbell or not. I raised my hand, and I was about to press it when I was suddenly filled with fear. I was afraid to know the truth. I decided to turn around and leave. But before I could even take a few steps away from the place, the door swung open. And there I saw a beautiful woman with the most sweetest smile I've ever seen. "H-Hi-"I nervously greeted. But before I could even finish, she immediately give me a tight hug.
"How nice of you to come!" she greeted ecstatically. "You're Holt's sister, right? You came here for the announcement?" she said, flashing her sweetest smile. "Come on, let's come inside. There's plenty of food for everyone." I didn't get a chance to to decline. She gently pulled I me towa towards the the crowd. Holt was busy talking to a member of our pack, when he turned around and noticed us. I saw him turn pale when he saw me with his fiancée. "Holt, look who I saw outside. I thought you said she couldn't come because she's sick?"
Holt's face was filled with surprise. I was probably the last thing he was expecting to see today.
"Oh, he's probably talking about Annika. I'm Sage, his other sister," I introduce myself, forcing a smile on my face.
Emily looked surprise, "Oh! I didn't Holt had another sister, But anyway, it was so nice of you to come to our engagement. We're still going to have a formal announcement. Right now, it was just friends and other members of the family."
Holt looked surprised and at the same time relieved when I didn't tell Emily who I was. "Congratulations. You two will surely make a good couple," I said, forcing a smile on my

"Thank you. Emily answered. "Will you be a doll and take care of Sage for me, Holt? I wanted to spend more time with your sister, but I still have a lot of things to do around here. I'll be back in a jill, okay?" Emily said before giving a kiss on the cheeks. She then went ahead to o manage the party.
I don't want to be left alone with Holt right now, but I had no other choice. "Congratulations," I greeted him.
"I'm sorry. I don't have choice," he apologize.
1 grabbed a glass of champagne from a roaming waiter. "We all have a choice, Holt. Be at man and own it up." I said before drinking the whole glass in one go. "Congratulations again on your engagement. Please say bye to Emily for me. She's a nice woman, take care of her," I said before leaving the party.
"How many did you drink, Sage?" Hillary's voice was tinged with concern as she watched me down yet another shot of tequila. I had asked her to join me at the bar, seeking solace in the numbing embrace of liquor.
I believed I deserved this escape after the shocking revelation that had recently shattered my world. My adoptive father, Alpha Gordon, had decided my fate, binding me to the ruthless Lycan king without even considering my consent. What's worst is, this is also the day that the only man I thought I can rely on abandoned me and hang me out to dry.
