Brothers at War: Snatching My Sister-in-LawUpdated at May 9, 2025, 10:34
The soft music began, and everybody stood up to welcome the bride. l smiled at the groom, who couldn't stop staring at his wife to be while every step she took was a knife deep into my heart.She looked breathtaking. A vision in white and lace. Her usual mischievous smile was gone, but she kept her eyes on the man she was about to marry.My brother.Mark stood in the altar, glowing in happiness. He looked every inch of the successful and powerful man he was. A man who could give her the life that she deserved.The man our parents favoured and the man Lila was going to marry.He was a good man. The best man l've ever known. Loyal, kind, and oblivious. That's what made this agonizing. If he was a monster, then maybe l could justify my actions or hate him. But l loved him despite everything.Lila's eyes flickered to mine for a split second. A moment of pure emotions passed between us.Regret? Longing? or maybe just the memory of last night's desperate passion. l couldn't tell, but I broke the eye contact between us before she could.She broke my heart for the very last time, which is why I'm subjecting myself to this pain so that I never forget this day.So that I never forget the pain of a bleeding heart.........She was promised to him ever since we were born, but she was also the love of my life. We tiptoed around everybody until it was time. I wanted us to run but she didn't choose me. She chose to stay and marry him, and l couldn't stay and watch her build a life with my brother. Unknowingly, my brother did me a favour by sending me to the warrior training. l hoped l would die there, but the pain became my biggest drive.My brother was the Alpha, and I, a nobody, but l somehow managed to be one of the strongest and sort after man all around. Packs called me and my team whenever they needed me. l toyed around danger, risk, and death hoping one day somebody would put me out of my misery, but this time the call came from home.I knew it would be killing myself emotionally if I went back, but I'm a sucker for punishment, and despite everything that went on between us, I would never let anything happen to her.It was supposed to be an easy task. scoop out the traitor and run back to my life, but I couldn't after coming face-to-face with a blue-eyed 5-year-old. A copy of me and worse, the woman I left full of life, a shell of the person that I knew.
