On my eighteenth birthday, my sister wore my red dress.
Her wolf had always been weak, and she’d never cared for crowded gatherings.
But that night, she did something unheard of. She picked up a fencing épée from a display case and executed a flawless routine in the center of the ballroom.
Sebastian Black—my childhood friend, my fiancé of seven years—watched her, utterly transfixed.
Three days later, in front of both our families, he announced his intention to call off our engagement and propose to my sister instead.
My sister, her eyes rimmed with red, shook her head.
“Sebastian, please don’t. Adeline is my sister. I could never take her fiancé from her.”
But my mother took my hand.
“Adeline, Victoria was left with injuries that never fully healed from saving you. She’s suffered enough. She’s finally found someone she loves. You’ve always been the sensible one. Don’t fight her over this.”
I didn’t fight.
Over the years, I had already given my sister so many things.
The pony my father gave me. The retail spaces my grandmother left me. The bedroom I had lived in for six years. Countless gifts and family heirlooms.
Now, there was just one more thing.
A fiancé.
I gently pulled my hand from my mother’s grasp.
“You’re mistaken, Mother. I’m not going to fight.”
A collective sigh of relief went through the room.
“I don’t want the engagement to the Black family anymore. And as for my own marriage, you won’t need to arrange it. Aunt Rebecca accepted another proposal for me yesterday.”
For the first time, my sister’s face went pale before mine did.
