After cleaning all the rooms, I decided to go talk to my brother and investigate.

"Uhm Marco? I can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked peaking into his room hoping that the clothes were nicely packed and not on the floor. If you know what I mean.

Luckily he was sitting by his table doing homework or an assignment.

"Yeah? What you wanna talk about?" He askes turning around to face me. I walked up to his bed and sat by the corner.

"So.... how is Luca doing?" I asked quickly, hoping that he didn't get any ideas.

"Why do you-" he pointed at me "-wanna know anything about Luca?" He finished and crossed his arms.

"Just......" I lied in a high pitch voice. Hoping he believed me once more.

"Liliana Sarah Los Poderoso! You are my twin sister, you get a high pitch voice and you lick your lips when you lie. Like your doing now" he pointed to me again

I quickly put my lips into a straight line. I always hated it when he knew I was lying, he would literally blackmail me when we were kids.

*5 years back*

I watch as mami walks around in a rush looking around for something, in the corner papa is impatiently tapping his foot looking at his watch every five minutes.

"Amor, please hurry up. We might miss the reservation" papa pipes up.

She brushes her hair out of the way searching between the couch cushions, "I know I know papi, but I can't find my earring anywhere. I had it on just now" she says.

I look left to right innocently, Marco comes into the house covered in mud and dirt coming from whatever it is he was doing.

"Marco honey have you seen my earring?" She asks him, his gaze falls into me giving me an accusing look.

Mami catches on this and looks at me, "Lili?" She says sternly.

Warm tears gloss over my eyes as I take the earring from underneath me, "i-i just don't want you to go" I cry loudly.

A tad angry she comes and takes the earring from me, "bebita you shouldn't have done that, your papa and I will be back sooner than you think" she soothes and wipes away the tears.

More tears fall freely down my cheeks, "but I don't wanna stay with Marco! He's gonna make me his slave!" I argued close to throwing a tantrum like a five year old.

"He won't right bebé?" She asks looking at him.

"Scouts honor" he promises, my mouth falls open.

"He wasn't even a scout!" I argue, papa comes to my side holding something in his hand, "here mija have some chocolate" that was enough to shut me up completely.

I wiped away the tears and grabbed for it but he pulled back, "one block each, if we come home and get no arguments you'll both get a whole slab each. Entendido?" We both nod our heads.

He gives us both one and I catch it as he puts the rest of the slab in on top of the fridge, without savoring it I finish my block in a second, our parents say goodbye as they leave.

Being the chocolate obsessed kid I am I took a chair and climbed onto the counter then took the chocolate from the fridge. After Marco left the house to go play with our pet dog. I carefully opened it and take two more blocks.

*Present day*

That night I went to the bathroom Luna knows how many times, and when my parents asked why the chocolate was missing, we both said we knew nothing.

But Marco caught on and well, I was forced to do his homework and chores till I came out with the truth.

"Fine, he was acting all weird today, first he tried to let's say convince or lure me into having sex with him, then he kissed me, then he calls me Novia, then an incident happens this morning which causes him to try and do what seems like making a move on me, then he buys me a box of chocolates and said something that was supposed to sound like a compliment" I finished almost out of breath.

"Oh that, he was just trying to tease you into thinking your his mate, since our birthday is coming up" he explained and rubbed the back of his neck.

I found the nearest thing to throw at him, which unlucky for both him and I was a jockey strap and his football shirt.

"That was not funny, you know this morning was an image I can't get out of my head, it was hell like creepy. I am traumatised!" I screamed at him

First he laughed and then he asked what had happened. "Why don't you ask your laughing buddy?" I snapped

*12 days later*

Great! Whoo! Ir my birthday, it was a Saturday, and I was planning, hosting and cleaning up my own birthday party.

So practically it was my birthday yet I was the servant for it. I was doing everything for it. Cleaning, preparations, and cooking, apart from actually enjoying it. Only my brother got to celebrate.

It was 3am and I was doing the batter for the cake. The party would be ready by 14:00 pm. Nicky and her brother Roman were helping me with the preparations down at the field.

I know you might ask why did it have to be a huge celebration if it was just a birthday?

Well since my father was Beta and Luca was becoming the Alpha soon enough after our birthday, my brother would be taking over as Beta as per my father and Luca's orders. So it was a celebration for the new Alpha and Beta including a birthday celebration.

By 13:20 the guest were starting to arrive, we had finished at around 13:00 so by then Nicky and Roman were getting ready for the party and I was going out to buy my brother a birthday present.

****

It was around 20:00 and the party was starting to wear down. I found my brother by the water and handed him his present. I bought him the PS 7 he was saving for, that literally costed my 3/4 of my savings.

He had gotten me well, what I have always asked him; for his help when it comes to self-defense.

Nicky got me the latest Chanel outfit and Roman got me a coupon to the best ice cream shop in the area. Nicky and Roman were really the best of friends, they were even trying to help me clean up the field.

Usually people in our pack got their mates at the age of 17 but I guess I wasn't one of them.

Once I got to my room, I found a bouquet of flowers along with chocolates and a beautiful dress and heels. I guessed it was from my parents, but the letter left there said otherwise.

Happy birthday Mi Amor💓

Birthday wishes to the one I love

No one can make me smile the way you do,

Without you i feel so low, so sad so blue

Your eyes take me to a world unknown

I am blinded by your love so much that I get accident prone.

I love you forever even if my world is torn apart.

Because you darling are the first to touch my heart

Today on your birthday I just cannot thank Luna enough

She gave you to me like a heavenly present from above

Happy birthday to you whom I really love.❤❤

De tu 💓secreto amante💓

Meet me by the L&N love trees tomorrow at sunset for dessert
