I Got Freedom After Fulfilling Myself
When I was little, I was poisoned by wolfsbane. My sister Fiona saved me.
After that, she always said, "I saved your life. You should be grateful. Never forget what I've done for you."
So whenever I had good food or pretty clothes, I gave them to her if she wanted them.
When I turned eighteen, the pack chose a fiancé for me.
Fiona told me, "Don't trust any man so easily. Let me check them out for you first. If they're not right, you shouldn't marry them."
So she went on dates with those men on my behalf, from refined gentlemen to charming, outgoing guys.
Every time she came back, she looked disappointed. "Zoey, this guy seems really shady. He's not right for you."
"Zoey, this guy is all sweet talk. I'm worried he'll trick you."
Then I met Darren, the best warrior in the Starlight Pack, and fell for him at first sight.
We became a couple, but my sister never stopped worrying. She insisted on joining us on every single date.
Darren happily went along with it. "Your sister really cares about you."
I believed them.
On the day we'd scheduled to try on wedding dresses, my sister walked out of the fitting room before me, wearing my gown.
She posted a selfie: "Trying it on for my little sister. Today I get to be the beautiful bride too."
Darren commented underneath: "You really are beautiful."
I hit like and decided to walk away from their little game of "looking out for me."
She could have him.
