Nelly’s POV
“That’s Alpha Kex’s beta,” | said, pointing at the man in the picture. Aisha stared at the picture, her eyes wide. “This doesn’t make sense,” she said, her voice tinged with confusion.
| paced back and forth, my thoughts racing. What did it all mean? | couldn’t seem to connect the dots. | was trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.
“What if they’re twins?” Aisha suggested.
“You're only adding to my confusion!” | said, sinking into a chair.
Aisha studied my face, her brow furrowed. “How?” she asked.
“If they're twins, it means he’s still my brother,” | replied, my voice hoarse.
“And Emily would be your sister,” she said, her eyes widening.
| buried my face in my hands, my head spinning. How was | supposed to make sense of all this?
| raised my head up and our gaze met. “I remember growing up as an only child,” | said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I never had a sister or brother, and | don’t remember my brother ever having a twin. This is making my head spin! | feel like I’m losing my mind,” | muttered, my voice cracking.
“| know this is confusing, but we'll figure it out,” Aisha said, her voice soothing. “We'll get to the bottom of this.” | took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. | needed to focus.
“What if I’m just hallucinating?” | said, my voice shaky. “What if these memories aren't real? What if there’s no resemblance at all?”
Aisha considered this for a moment, her brow furrowed in thought. “If you’re hallucinating, does that mean | am too?” she asked, a hint of humor in her voice.
“Geez,” | muttered, rolling my eyes. “This is getting ridiculous. Emily can’t be my sister.”
Aisha let out a laugh. “Calm down, you are just over thinking,” she said, a smile playing on her lips. [e)
| collected the picture from Aisha’s hand and studied it, trying to find any similarities. | then turned to my drawings, examining them for any clues. | heard Aisha’s voice break through my thoughts.
“Did you ask Alpha Kex how long he’s known his beta?” she asked.
| shook my head. “No, | didn’t. But based on our conversation about his childhood, it seems like his beta has been around for a long time.”
Aisha nodded thoughtfully. “Maybe that’s a clue,” she mused. “A clue?” | asked, my brow furrowed.
“Yes, a clue,” Aisha said, as if it were obvious. “If Alpha Ex and his beta have known each other for a long time, it means he must know a lot about him. And that could be a clue to figuring out what’s going on.” | thought about what she said, and | had to admit, it made sense.
“So what you’re saying is, | need to ask Alpha Kex some questions?” | said, seeking clarification. Aisha nodded, a smile spreading across her face. “That's precisely what | am trying to say.”
Aisha was about to say something when we heard a knock at the door. “Who’s there?” | called out, my voice a little more aggressive than | intended.
“It's Harry,” came the reply.
Aisha stood up sheepishly and moved toward the door. “I'll just...” she trailed off, her cheeks flushed. She opened the door, and I heard the sound of Harry's voice, but | couldn’t make out what he was saying.
“| will be right back,” Aisha said, smiling, and | couldn’t help but chuckle. | need to ask her what's going on between the both of them.
I lay on the bed, flicking the switch on the lamp on and off, the light flickering in the room. My mind was racing, my thoughts a jumbled mess. The possibility that | was related to Emily felt like a huge weight on my shoulders.
| didn’t know what to do or how to feel. | had so many questions, and | didn’t know where to begin. | closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind, but it was no use. The questions just kept coming.
There was a sudden burst of light as the door to my room flew open. Alpha Kex stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable. He flicked on the light switch, and | blinked as

my eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness.
“What are you doing in the dark?” he asked, his voice stern,
I sat up, trying to collect my thoughts. “Nothing,” | replied, my voice shaky.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. “Nelly don’t lie to me?” he asked, his gaze boring into me. | swallowed hard, trying to come up with an answer.
“| was just...bored,” | lied, my voice faltering. “Aisha’s with Harry,” | added, not sure why | felt the need to mention it.
Alpha Kex looked at me for a moment, and then he nodded. He walked over to the bed and sat down, pulling off his slippers. | took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. This was my chance to ask him the questions that had been plaguing my mind.
| turned to face him, and he pulled me close, his lips pressing against mine. | kissed him back, feeling a spark of electricity run through my body. He moaned into the kiss, and | felt my insides melting.
| was completely lost at the moment, my mind blank except for the feeling of his lips. on mine. It was as if nothing else mattered. | pulled back from the kiss, my heart pounding in my chest. | traced circles on his chest, trying to calm my racing thoughts.
“The picture | saw in your room last night,” | began, my voice shaking. “Was that really your beta?”
| looked up at him, my eyes searching his face for any hint of emotion. He nodded, his eyes meeting mine.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Yes,” he said, his voice low.
He reached up and patted my hair, his touch gentle and reassuring. But | still had so many questions.
“How long have you known him?” | asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
“Since | was a child,” he said, leaning in closer and kissing my neck. | let out a moan, my body trembling with desire. “Kex,” | whispered, my voice breathless. But he pulled away, his eyes filled with lust, and then he resumed torturing my neck. “Where do his parents live?” | asked, trying to sound nonchalant.
Alpha Kex gave me a hard glare. “That's none of your business,” he said, his tone cold.

He got up and put on his slippers, his back to me.
“Are we fighting?” | asked, standing up.
“| just want to spend time with you, and you're pestering me with questions,” he said, his voice tinged with anger. “I'm sorry.” | said, my voice soft.
| leaned in and kissed him. my lips lingering on his. He didn’t respond at first, his body tense. But then he relaxed, his arms reaching up to hold me. | felt a wave of relief wash
over me. | grasped the front of his shirt, pulling him towards the bed. Our lips met, and | felt the familiar rush of desire.
“| can’t wait to devour you,” he whispered, pulling away for a moment. | smiled, a thrill running through my body. “Then devour me.” | replied, the words barely leaving my lips before he was kissing me again.
