"I woke up, only to find out I was in a luxurious cage." I said. I begin to narrate my past.
I returned to the luxurious bed, only to find out I was locked inside.
"These memories hurt me so bad. They are things I don't want to remember." I said.
I reminisce about the past. I included the love my foster mother Jessica showered on me. I missed those memories, that care and genuine love. My Foster Mother was one in a million. It was like life gifted me with a unique treasure.
"She woke me up after placing several kisses on my forehead." I said.
"She reminded me that it was time to wake up." I continued. Jessica reminded me about how important that day was, she said things to make me happy and cheerful.
"I opened up my eyes, and I read what I saw," I said as it rained through my eyes.
"I'm Alysa, I'm eighteen years old."
How beautiful it was to finally hit adulthood…
"I met a beautiful young wolf. Jessica was my mother." I said as I increased my tone with every word.
"She was also Alpha's sister!" I said loudly.
It was Alysa's Eighteen-year-old birthday. It was a beautiful day.
"I had the most beautiful conversation with my mother that morning."
Jessica discussed my dreams, expectations and how she wanted everything to fall in place for me. She made me so comfortable to make a mistake and not feel terrible.
She made breakfast with me—We both made a great team in the kitchen. We later tried on some of my favourite clothes and other clothes Jessica said were beautiful. We tried jewelry too. I tried chokers, bracelets, ear cuffs and necklaces. She preferred silver to gold—My Smile was so wide and time was beautifully spent.
"I remember my mother loved gold so much," I mentioned.

Everything was set and ready. The food, the clothes, and the jewelry. They were properly prepared.
I smiled all through.
"I have to tell you now that you are an adult..." My Mother said as her smile dimmed.
"I'm not a terrible person and I think it's time. It's time for you to know the right details about yourself." Jessica added.
I paid great attention at this point. I raised my head and focused on Jessica's lips. Jessica rubbed my shoulders to make me more comfortable—my tension was building up.
"I'm not your mother." Jessica said as she turned her face away.
I don't know how I endured all of this, but I did. It felt like being in the dark was a burdens I carried and did not even know about.
Mother was distressed at my state of shock. She was sure it was too cruel to tell me the truth at that time, but she was still reluctant—She had to tell me the truth.
Jessica's POV
Life wasn't a bed of roses for me. I created those roses for the only girl fate brought to my face. I'm usually called Jes. I hated that name when I was young. I hated it more from my brother's mouth. I hated it when I had to find the truth by myself. I find disgust in all those people who ploughed the truth from my sight. I can't do what I hate to the one I love most.
I began to reveal the whole truth, silence swallowed Alysa.
I named her Alysa because it was all I had. It was all I saw.
I was tense and cold. I just had to tell her the truth regardless of how difficult it was for me.
"It was fifteen years ago. It was during winter, a cold winter day." I said.
I had a maid who walked around with me. The maid was like my shadow. I went out with my maid as usual. I was a princess." I said and stared deep into Alysa's eyes. She paid so much attention to me.
I don't know why, but I'm a part of Alysa's life even after knowing I'm not her real mother.
"I was about to return until I saw an abandoned baby girl."
Alysa was wrapped with plain clothes. She was kept beside the backpack house. I looked at my maid and looked back at the abandoned baby. I just couldn't hold myself.
"I discovered that you are girl. I smiled so widely and picked you up." I said to Alysa with tears flooding my eyes.
The Alpha's were known to be kind. Keeping this baby wasn't going to bring any harm or tears to anyone— I made my decision.
"The Alpha's were merciful. They raised you like a princess, like you were theirs." I added.
"Your treatment was so soaked in love and you were cherished like gold. You were known like theirs, you were a priority. I mean it." I said. I tried my best to tell her how loved she was regardless of the circumstance.
Her eyes became teary too. It was a hard decision, and something she started but hard to finish
"Really..." I said as my voice had no weight.
Her face looked pale, and she was shocked.
I know she tried on her end to stand strong, to accept everything I just told her. Alysa smiled through it—She tried but tears got the best of her.
I tried to comfort her—I had to. She held me and gave me a tight hug.
"No matter what, my love, you will always be my little princess. No one can snatch that place away from you. No one, my love." I said. I had to remind her.
Those words ran through my heart like cold ice on a burn. I just knew she felt a little bit better after I uttered those words.
"I want you to be happy.I want you to be bold to face those fears, and today is that special day. Remember?" I said kindly.
She just nodded in response. I gave her a big hug again.
"Can you tell me about your background? You are so different from the others." She asked me curiously. She finally tried to speak after dispersing away from the shock she just got.
I shook my head. When I'm asked such questions, I don't usually have any answers to offer.
"No one knows." I said and looked away.
" I really wish I could find that out. If you want to find my biological parents, you have to support me and help me." I said promptly, looking straight into Alysa's eyes.
"Sure." I quickly agreed.
