Chapter 223

Zara's POV

I woke up moving my hand to search for Keith's, but he wasn't on the bed, I yawned, popping myself on one of my elbows, "Where could he have been?" I wanted to get out of bed when I saw a note by the bedside. Fear envelopes me, thinking it was one of those threat notes, that I normally received those days I lived here and the first time, I arrived at Harris' mansion before Lisa was kicked out, I signed now that she was dead, that monster killed her, she didn't deserve to die even though she didn't treat me well, I still didn't want her to die, I guess her mate, might still be out there, I am sure, the goddess would have given her one, it wasn't too desperate and let hatred crowded her thought toward me, I pulled the note with shaking hands but it wasn't one of those threats, it was from Keith.

[Good morning hon~ morning emergency, I will be back before you know it. There is a cup of coffee in the dining, if you wake up on time, it will still be hot, but if it's not, you could just warm it, later love you] I smirk, falling back on the bed, maybe, before I pressed the note to my chest and whisper.

"I love you too,"

"Who is falling in love, this early?" I heard the cracking of the door and someone's face pushed behind the door along the teasing sounds, "Can I come in?" I rolled my eyes at Sara. She had already pulled the door, while is she asking again.

"Silly come in, what are you doing here?" I asked she pushed the door further and walked in with that cheerful face.

"Is that you don't want me here?" She asked still having that smile, I wanted to laugh at her. It's obvious, that she was trying to fake a sad facade but she doesn't know how to go about it, "I will just go, since you don't want me here."

"Silly..." I jumped off the bed, grabbing her hand, "how can you be mad and be smiling?"

"Was I smiling?" She asked looking at me, I gestured with my eyes for her to look at the mirror, and she hurried to the mirror, blushing her face before she mastered that perfect scowl on her face and I tittered more, she ended up laughing with me, when our laughter die off, she pulled me into a hug.

"I am happy for you," she said pulling from the hug, "I see Keith's finally marked you for real," I move my hand and touch the mark, left on my neck, and smile.

"I mark him too..." She looks at me, "...he didn't mind, I don't know what our future holds but..." He pulled my hand.

"Stop thinking, Keith loves you, and he wants to see you happy, he loved Kiera as well and he is doing everything he could to make it up to you and Kiera. From all the things I heard about him from Clair, I know he is not a bad person, he may have hurt you and was consumed with anger all these years but I think it's because of the curse, and Clair said once he say something he doesn't go back on his words, so if Keith let you mark him and say those words on that note, I am sure he meant it..." Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Thank you," I murmured and she looked at me surprised, "I didn't tell you all these years that I draw my strength from you. I was looking up to you, I was fighting because I felt I was not alone because you were here, you stood by me, you helped me care for my little girl like she was just, you were the big sister, I dream of all these years, you are my strength in my darkest hour..." I wanted to tell Sara, all these times, how much her present kept me going and not giving up, so many times I wanted to give up but she never let me.

"That is what sisters are for, we look out for one another." It didn't take long before we both fell into another round of tears, after crying in each other hands, it wasn't tears of pain, it was tears of joy. Sara and I had gone through a lot and so was my Clair. I know she is in a better place as well but I hope that Lucian will claim Sara too, so we can all have a happy ever after, no one should be left behind.

Sara waited for me to wash up and change into something decent, it was Keith's pajamas, although it was a bit too big for me, but It was perfect on me. We were both in the living room, chitchatting after Clair called through Sara's phone that Kiera and she were going shopping.

Having a lot of sisters is good, you don't have to be bothered about how to keep your little girl amused because everyone is always available to do her bidding.

One of the omega pushed the door and my eyes moved to her before my eyes widened I saw the impostor, who had fooled us for months claiming she was my sister.

"Mai, what are you doing here?" I tried to force a smile, but I don't think it got to my eyes.

She fell to her knees, with her hand up in surrender, "I came to see you, I told the Alpha that I wanted to talk to you, and I was checked before coming in, there is nothing on me," she was talking so fast. I moved my gaze to Sara, she shrugged her shoulders before she nodded to me.

"What do you want?" I asked pointing to the couch for her to sit.

"Thank you, I know I am not the kind of person you want around, I was a horrible person, a bitch and I don't deserve anything good but you safe me, even after seeing how I hurt your sister and tried to take Harris from you, you still save me..." She paused and her tears dropped, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to, I was never like this, I just needed somewhere to hide my head, I have no one and they were going to send me from the orphanage and the witch came and told he will help, at first I didn't want to help her but I have nowhere to go, so I give in..." Her tears drop, "I know being needy doesn't justify my actions, the fact that I am in a bad position doesn't mean I should put others in one, I should have contacted Keith or Harris and tell them the truth instead of wanting to have her life. I am a terrible person," Sara shook her head, she was the first to speak

"You aren't a terrible person, in fact, if you didn't bring Clair to that mall, neither Zara nor I would have known that our sister and cousin were still alive, it was your appearance that gave us hope and made us find the truth," Sara's words were encouraging but that didn't stop Mai from crying, she felt remorse for what she had done, after crying for some time and kept apologizing, she stand from the couch, she was about to leave, that was when my voice came up.

"Where do you live these past few days?"

"I don't have anywhere to go, I went back to the orphanage but they didn't let me and since I had no money, and I couldn't go back to acting, Gad took everything when she died, so I back to the street..." She said turning to leave.

"You can stay?" I said from nowhere and Sara looked at me and she did as well. "Yes, stay, you should stay."
