''Why did you reject your mate, Eva?'' Came the soft voice of the one with longer hair and bigger eyes.
''Yeah, we want to know why,'' Sisi replied with a nod.
Layla came closer, her gaze softening the more with the dead look in Evangeline's eyes. ''We thought you deeply cared for the Alpha of the Jaggering Teeth pack.''
Alpha?
Jaggering…
Packs?
Mates?
Realm of demons?
What sort of fantasy world is this?
Are they all some sort of werewolves with packs, mates, the moon goddess and all that shit?
Have I also unfortunately become one of them?
''You can tell us anything,'' Sisi encouraged a little too sweetly.
Charlotte didn't know what to tell them. Instead, they were the ones that should be telling her many things about her current situation.
''I… I…am a werewolf?'' She asked to be sure that she wasn't getting ahead of herself.
The silence that followed her rather strange question was cut short by Sisi replying with wide doubtful eyes…'' Are you not?''
That put both Sisi and Charlotte in a pretty intense staring competition as they both tried to understand each other.
''Ow,'' Sisi flinched when her twin sister slapped her hard at the nape.
''Of course she is,'' Layla interjected. ''What else would she be if not a werewolf like the rest of us?''
Sisi pouted at her sister's scoldings. Charlotte just sat there gazing at both of them in silence.
''But…but…she asked…''
''Are you then supposed to make her doubt who she is?'' Layla turned to face Charlotte, who still held this blank but slightly confused look on her face. ''You are a werewolf, and not just any werewolf. But our beloved princess and the next future Alpha King of our beloved community. We are your childhood friends and biggest fan!'' Layla began in an attempt to have her intrigued. ''You recently found your mate—the handsome warrior and Alpha of the Jaggering Teeth pack. The neighboring pack of our pack, Crimson Ridge. He has been your admirer since we can recall.''
Charlotte couldn't help the slight cringe she felt travel down her spine as she listened to her talk about that caveman being her admirer and Mate.
Sisi nodded her head at her in excitement, a faint blush overtaking their pale cheeks.
''You would always dream about him and admire how strong he was.'' Sisi added dreamily.
''You would beg us to help you send love notes to him in the middle of the night.''
What the fuck—
''Yeah! You were so obsessed with him that you swore to the Moon Goddess at her holy temple—''
Sisi folded her hands in prayer at the mention of the Moon Goddess.
''---- that you would bring the head of the evil Demon Prince to her temple if she blesses you with a mate like Alpha Jack of the Jaggering Teeth pack!''
She watched them both sign in satisfaction and in wonder of the great love between her and that violent caveman who chased her mercilessly at night.
''The whole of Astoria was happy to hear you finally got what you've always wanted. We sang songs and danced—your father even declared a holiday for everyone the day after you found your mate!''
''It was a glorious day!"
''A marvelous one!''
''You were so happy—''
''Thrilled!''
''He gifted you the seven stars of the moon goddess for being his mate!''
''And the golden horn of the demigod of light and prosperity.''
''You blushed!''
''You kissed—''
Layla and Sisi paused with a quick blink when her face grew blue like she would puke if they didn't stop with their nauseous tale of romantic adventures the real owner of this body had with the ruthless caveman.
She was sure that Evangeline must be so blind in-love to know that the Alpha of Wagering Tooth pack does not love her the same way she does. His feelings for her were one of lust. She couldn't imagine that the lips that now belonged to her had…
A sickening bile rose to the tip of her throat.
Had…
The world before her began to do a funny spin as she could taste the bile at the back of her tongue.
''E–Eva? Are you okay?''
She turned and moved to the nearest side of her bed to vomit all that was in her stomach on the floor beside her bed.
The twins screamed at the top of their voice in horror, rushing to her sides immediately as Sisi gathered her hair, pulling it from her face and Layla frantically patted her back to calm her down.
''What's wrong with her? Did Alpha Jack feed her bad meat or what?''
The mere sound of his name forced more retching sound from her throat. He disgusted her as much as poop does to the people of her world.
''What is going on here?''
Everyone froze at the strong voice of the Queen Luna of Astoria.

Hi angels! (Devil's smirk)
So, a quick understanding of things!
Astoria is the name for the werewolf realm/kingdom! It consists of packs ruled by different Alphas like Alpha Jack.
Crimson Ridge pack is like the ruling house of all of Astoria. And the Alpha is considered the Alpha King of Astoria---much powerful than the Alphas!
Thank you so much for reading and giving this book of mine a chance. In three words comment how you feel about the name of Alpha Jack's pack!
