PRESENT

The second the Beta stormed out of the room, I quickly put on my clothes and ran out too, leaving the still frightened maid there. My legs shook, but I didn't let it slow me down.

I need to find Sera, or find a way out, or anything that would get me out of here before someone decided I was worth taking a closer look at.

I crept along the corridor, keeping to the shadows, and when I peeked over, I saw a guard I recognized. From the careful way he moved and his posture, aware of e

    ~AltheaI stiffened at that voice. Then the guards parted, and I was standing face to face with Vespera.Oh Goddess. What was she doing here?I instantly schooled my face, despite the full-blown panic I was feeling inside. "Who are you talking about?"She chuckled darkly, clearly not buying a single word of it as she stepped fully into the room, folding her arms."What is she talking about?" Halter asked, his eyes moving between us, sharp and impatient.My heart was slamming so hard against my ribs I was convinced the whole hallway could hear it, a steady, rapid thud, thud, thud under my skin. I kept my hands loose at my sides, with my face carefully blank, without letting my eyes dart toward the exit too obviously. "Her." Vespera pointed directly at me, her lips curling slowly. "I've been visiting my uncle for weeks now, as you wouldn’t know. And one of the guards mentioned there was an extra breeder nobody could place, where she came from. No record, no family claim, just appeared

From the careful way he moved and his posture, aware of every eye that could land on him.He wasn't from around here, and I was certain he came from Darkmoor, but how…?Our eyes locked and he rushed over, dipping his head in a quick bow before pulling me behind a pillar."My Luna," he whispered quickly, "Alpha Alaric sent me to watch over you. We need to get you out, now."Alaric sent guards to watch over me? So Sera and I weren't alone after all.Relief hit me so hard my knees nearly buckled, but then I thought of the other breeders still locked insi

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   55. Gaining His Trust

    ~SeraHis room was bigger than I expected. Decorated with dark wood and heavy furniture. It was the kind of space that made you remember who you were talking to the second you walked in.Even his candles were fancy. Tsk. Show off.I hovered near the door, wringing my hands, as I let my shoulders fall. "I do—don't know if it's my place to say this," I said, keeping my voice small and uncertain."Speak." He ordered, his tone leaving no room for arguments. "Nobody will harm you here. Not even me."My gaze dropped, darting around while my fingers pulled at my shirt sleeve, aiming to look distraught, and then I dropped straight to my knees in a soft thud, my palms planted on the floor."Your kindness knows no bounds, Alpha," I praised, head bowed so low it was nearly touching the ground. "But a breeder like me, kneeling in front of you, I'm not even worthy of speaking in your presence."I could feel him getting irritated above me, then his weight shifted, and his breathing sharpened. Good

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   54. Sera's Plan (III)

    ~SeraShit.I rushed around the nearest corner and pressed my back to the wall. I don't even know if this was a good hiding spot, but I just knew that I couldn't be standing in that hallway when he got there.Their footsteps got closer until Halter and his Beta appeared, speaking in low tones, and then they stopped.I peeked, seeing the small frown on their faces as they looked around, their noses high, sniffing the air.Shit. I think they got my scent.I leaned on the wall, my palm flat against my chest as my heart thumped so loud I was sure they could hear it too.Keep walking, you two. There's nothing here to see. Just keep walking. A few seconds passed with my breath stuck in my throat.Then Halter grunted, “Must be the damn breeders.”I let out a small sigh as they continued their conversation. I slid a little closer to the edge of the wall so I could hear better."She's getting worse by the day," Halter said. "The healers can't tell me anything useful. I give her a month, maybe

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   53. Sera's Plan (II)

    ~SeraI shifted on my feet, eyeing whatever was going on here, but I said nothing.Gods… I really didn't come here to watch a grown woman heave blood into a bowl, but I kept my face stoic and my mouth shut. Keeping every snide comment in check.She retched again, and I turned away, scrunching my nose, and the sound of it hitting the container made me gag.Oh mother, what did you put me into? I turned to her again, almost failing to hide my disgust. What a weak Luna.Her face had gotten paler, and I almost rolled my eyes when I caught sight of her eyes; of course she's deformed. Mother didn't mention that.Tsk.. tsk.. tsk…I almost smirked at the sheer irony of it. A blind Luna married to a man obsessed with having an heir to the extent of seeking out countless breeders.Poetic. But in a sad, pathetic sort of way.She straightened slowly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, and turned her face toward me with an accuracy that shouldn't have been possible for someone who couldn't

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   52. Sera's Plan (I)

    ~Sera ~HOURS EARLIER~ I pushed my door open, and my mother was already waiting for me in my room, which told me she already knew why Alaric had called me earlier. She always knew, somehow. But I didn't care. As long as she provided me with a solution to this fucking mess. "You're not going with her," she said, before I'd even fully stepped in. "Well, that's the assignment; I must go with her.” I deadpanned, rolling my eyes in annoyance. "Forget the assignment." She crossed the room and closed the door behind me with a sharp expression, the way I recognized from every important conversation we'd ever had. "This is your chance to get rid of her." I frowned. "What are you talking about? What chance?” "The pack she's being sent to." My mother's lip curved, as if she were satisfied with the information she was about to share. "Alpha Halter. Do you know who his niece is?" I tilted my head, not knowing where or who she was hinting at. "Vespera Darkmoon." Something in me
