Chapter 41: My Sister's Confession

Candice and Ash watched me while I got closer and closer to the bed. I smelled the scent of fear wafting off of Ash. He didn’t want to face me so eagerly.

I approached Candice’s side of the bed, and Ash hurried out of the room wearing only his boxers. He was such a coward to run away. I couldn’t believe I had been so in love with him before.

I wished I hadn’t accepted his proposal. If only I had known this would happen. Ash didn’t deserve all the love I used to give him.

I’d have to talk to him after I got done with Candice. He wasn’t going to get away with this.

She had gone too far by sleeping with Ash. I didn’t want her to think it was okay to have done this.

Candice needed to know how angry I was at her. She’d never be forgiven for doing this. I couldn’t even control my voice to be calm.

“Why did you do this Candice? You’re my sister for Christ’s sake!”

Candice bitterly laughed and said, “You have no clue what I go through. You get to be the next Alpha, but that’s not all. On top of that, you’re the favorite of our parents.” She paused and added, “I’ve always felt like I’ve been ignored in the pack. It’s your fault.”

She was jealous of me? I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard her words. Maybe this was why she had always rubbed me the wrong way. I knew she was no angel, and here was my solid evidence.

I held back from rolling my eyes at her. Instead I told her, “It’s my right as the eldest and you know that. But it isn’t my fault that you’re ignored. I've always known you were such a bitch.”

She put her hands on her hips and glared at me.

Candice scowled and said, “Wow, you’re acting better than me as usual. It’s not fair what you have compared to me. You have a handsome fiancé and a mate. What do I get? Nothing. No guy has ever wanted me. I’m overlooked because I’m not the future Alpha.”

She was even more envious of me than I had thought. No wonder Candice and I had never been close. All these years she’s kept hidden anger towards me. I bet Candice had been plotting to hurt me for a while. I should’ve seen her betrayal coming but it still hurt.

How could a sister do that her own family member? Candice seemed to have no regret either. Everything she had said made it clear this was on purpose. She wanted to make my life hell.

Seconds passed and I moved closer to Candice. I stared her in the eyes and said, “I’m sure you’d find a mate if you hadn’t tried to steal my fiancé from me! That was a low move even for you. I can’t believe we’re family.”

She shook her head at me and ran a hand through her hair. I felt like I had reacted how Candice wanted me too. It made me mad that I gave her what she wanted. I was the older sister and wouldn’t be made into a fool.

“Do you want to know how long I’ve been with Ash?”

I shook my head and said, “Keep it yourself. It doesn’t matter.”

Candice viciously laughed and said, “I want to tell you anyway. Ash and I have been screwing since your engagement.”

I couldn't believe Ash had been sneaking around since we got engaged. Ash was a prick. I thought he had deeply loved me but was wrong. We had months together, and he threw it away for Candice.

I was glad to find out who Ash was now instead of after marriage. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise.

Finally, I said, "You’re both really terrible people.” I paused and mockingly said, “ You two are perfect for each other.”

Candice smirked at me and said, “Thanks Cleo.” She added, “Ash was so easy to seduce. All I had to do was ask him to come into my room. He didn’t wait long before hopping into bed with me. Ash was better in bed than I had imagined. I’d sleep with him again without a doubt.”

“You’re such a bitch.”

Candice laughed wryly and said, “You’re just jealous because Ash never screwed you. He said you were always turning him down.” She gave an ugly sneer and added, “I guess that’s why we went two rounds. The poor man was sex deprived.”

Her words increased my rage. I clenched my hands into fists and wanted to clock her in the face. I’ve never wanted to hit someone as badly as my own sister.

I had to hold back, because I didn’t want to let her win. Hitting her would be what she wanted to see from me. Besides, I knew it was Ash’s fault. I saw through her lies. Ash could’ve easily persuaded her to sleep with him, and it didn’t help he was attractive either.

A moment went by before I spoke. I told Candice, “You know what, you can have Ash. I don’t want to be with someone who cheats on me with my own sister.”

I slammed the door and headed for Ash’s guest room, ready to end things once and for all.
