Alyssa's POVWe were done working for the day, and everyone was already heading back to their rooms, probably to rest.Some of the girls were still giving me strange looks, but I ignored them. I understood why they were curious. I'm sure they were thinking...Who was this girl that their beloved and sweet soon-to-be Luna had become so violent over? And why had the Alpha himself stepped in to protect her?“Hey, redhead!”Claudia's voice made me turn around. She was beckoning me over.I walked toward her.“Yes, Head Maid?” I asked.“About what happened today… forget about it, okay?” she said. “You shouldn't worry or feel bad about it.”I stared at her in shock.Was the Grinch actually trying to comfort me?She looked incredibly uncomfortable, but somehow, I knew she was saying it because she was genuinely concerned.“What I'm trying to say is, don't allow what happened today to affect your work,” she continued. “The Alpha has given his word that you're not going anywhere as long as you co

"Pick yourself up and get out of here. You're not welcome."Helena's words cut through me.Everyone was staring at me.Some looked confused. Others looked at me with pity, while a few seemed to believe I deserved whatever was happening.I tried to get up, but the moment I put weight on my leg, a sharp pain shot through it.I winced.It seemed I had scraped my leg when I fell."Cut your stupid act. No one is buying it," Helena said.She stepped closer."Aren't you a little snake? Did your father send you here?"Her voice was filled with anger."You should thank God I'm not having you arrested and locked up for showing your face here.""Enough."Sebastian's voice stopped her."That's enough, Helena. Just look around and see the scene you've caused.""The scene I've caused?" she asked.She turned toward him."Did you know she was the one all along?""We'll talk about that later. Not in front of everyone."He looked around at the crowd."For now, everyone should go inside.""No!"Helena sh

Alyssa's POVI was cleaning the room of one of the Alpha's guests when Claudia called for me.I had no choice but to leave what I was doing and answer her.I wondered what the problem could be this time.I walked toward her, my steps careful."You called for me, Head Maid?" I asked."Yes. Leave what you're doing and go clean the Young Master's room. He has requested that it be cleaned.""What?" I asked, surprised."Go clean the Young Master's room. How many times do I need to say it before it sticks?" she replied irritably.I immediately bowed my head."Yes, Head Maid. I'll do that immediately."I quickly walked away before she could bite my head off.As I climbed the stairs, I silently cursed my fate.Why did it have to be me?Why did I have to be the one to clean his room?I just hoped he wouldn't be inside when I got there.When I reached his door, I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before opening it.I peeked inside.Empty.I breathed a sigh of relief.Thank God.I stepped

Sebastian's POVI had gone to the garden to relax.I hadn't been sleeping well these past few days, and I knew exactly why.Ever since she came back.I had first seen her a few days ago when I was in the garden and noticed her peeking through the window of her room.I still didn't know how our eyes had met in the darkness.But I was certain it was her.I could never mistake that red hair. It seemed to shine even in the darkness.When I saw her, it felt like I was dreaming.There was no way she could be standing there, right in front of me, after all these years.After she left me.I had returned to my room in a daze.Helena was there."What's wrong with you, Sebastian? Are you alright?" she asked.I didn't answer.She noticed immediately."Sebastian! What's wrong?""Nothing. I just saw a bad dream."She looked confused.Before she could ask anything else, I hugged her."I'm fine. Don't worry."I kissed her forehead.Helena was the one who stayed by my side after Alyssa left.I would ne

Inside the room, I tried to control my emotions.Just forget about it, Alyssa. You didn't come here for this.You came to work and earn money.You came to witness the Umber Ceremony and find your mate.That's what you came for. Remember that.Even I knew it was a lie, but I didn't care.Fake it until you believe it.That would be my new motto from now on.The girls were probably still in the garden, admiring the lovesick couples.I decided to take a bath. Claudia would soon call for dinner, so it was better to freshen up before then.I stepped into the bathroom and stood under the shower, letting the water run over me.I closed my eyes.For the first time since I arrived at the estate, I felt like I could finally relax.Then a memory flashed through my mind."Why won't you believe me? My parents could never think of doing something like that," I had said."The evidence is all there, Alyssa. You still want to continue lying? Your parents has taught you how to be so vicious.""Don't say

I stared at him from up close, and the look in his eyes made me instinctively take a step backward."I'm—I'm sorry," I stammered."Watch where you're going," he said, his voice cold and detached."What are you doing here?" he asked again."The Alpha wanted to see me, so I came.""Why did my father want to see you?""I think you should ask him yourself, Young Master Sebastian."He looked like he was about to say something when a sweet voice called out."Sebastian."I turned.It was Helena.She walked toward us, her heels clicking against the floor.I finally had the chance to take a good look at her.She had always been beautiful, even when we were young, but now she had a more mature beauty. Her smooth, fair skin seemed to glow beneath the soft lights, a slender nose, high cheekbones, and full, rosy lips that curved naturally into a charming smile. Her blonde hair was slicked back neatly, revealing the graceful line of her neck and the small diamond earrings adorning her ears. Her ey
