Mabel’s POV… I was in the best of moods as I ran my usual morning routine of breakfast and supervising the pack gardens. I must have gotten up from the good side of the bed today, as I couldn’t help but smile and wave generously at anyone who passed by me, even the servants. They didn’t mind tha
Mabel’s POV… ***ONE WEEK LATER*** I became a shadow of myself after that day. I locked myself in my room most of the time, and every night for the past seven days, I cried myself to sleep. Cillian had tried reaching out to me a couple of times, but I shunned him away. It’s been a week, but the pa

Cillian’s POV… Taking Caitlin in my arms to her room with all the stares felt like the hardest thing I’d ever done in my life, but I didn’t have a choice. I saw the look on Mabel’s face when Caitlin called out my name. I hadn’t just broken her heart, I’d embarrassed her in the worst way possible. T
Mabel’s POV… It had been three good hours since Cillian left with Caitlin, and yet, contrary to his promise, he hadn’t still returned. I didn’t want to jump into conclusions yet but I was beginning to feel apprehensive of the whole situation. What were they both doing up there? “May we have this d
