FAZER LOGINChapter 46Kadox’s POVI returned from the meeting expecting the house to be as quiet as it usually was when I came back, but the moment I stepped through the main entrance, I noticed something was different.The maids were moving around the sitting room, carrying trays and arranging things, but none of them seemed surprised to see me, and what caught my attention was the way they kept turning toward Kara as if she were the person they were waiting to please.One of the maids walked toward her with a tray in her hands.“Luna, would you like this served in the dining room or here?”I stopped walking.For a moment, I thought I had heard her wrong.I looked at the maid.“Who did you just call Luna?”The maid froze.She looked at Kara, then at me, clearly unsure of what to say.Another maid lowered her head.I looked around the room.“Who are you calling Luna?”One of them finally pointed toward Kara.I slowly turned my eyes toward her.Kara was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs, l
Chapter Forty FiveNia’s POVI decided I was not going to ask Kadox about the Luna position.Not because I did not care, and certainly not because Kara’s words had stopped bothering me, but because I refused to give Kara the satisfaction of making me run to Kadox the moment she said something that frightened me.If Kadox wanted me, he would tell me.If he wanted Kara, he would tell me that too.I had spent too many years chasing answers from a man who never cared enough to give them to me, and I was not going to start doing the same thing with Kadox.So I said nothing.I returned to my room and tried to continue with my day as though I had not heard anything.It was harder than I expected.Every time I remembered the elder saying that Kadox had one month to choose a Luna, my heart became uncomfortable.One month.The words kept returning to my mind no matter how much I tried to ignore them.I sat near the window for a while, watching people move around the estate.The pack had changed
Chapter 44Nia’s POVI had spent most of the morning trying to stay away from everyone.After what happened with Kara and Kadox, I did not want another argument, another explanation, or another situation that would make me feel as though I had to defend myself.I wanted peace.More than anything, I wanted to clear my head.I left my room and walked through the quieter side of the house, hoping to find somewhere I could sit alone for a while. The house was busy because people were still adjusting to Kadox becoming Alpha, and there were always guards, servants, and pack members moving around.I turned toward one of the smaller hallways that led toward the garden.Before I could reach the door, I heard voices coming from the room ahead.I stopped.It was Kadox’s voice.I knew I should probably keep walking, but then I heard another voice.One of the elders.I stayed where I was and moved quietly toward the corner, making sure they could not see me.The door was slightly open, and I could
Chapter 43Kadox’s POVI remained in the hallway after Nia walked away, I could still hear her footsteps getting farther from me, but I did not follow her.I was still trying to understand what had just happened.The slap did not hurt as much as the look on her face before she turned away.She had looked at me as though I had disappointed her.Not because Kara had fallen, not even because of the argument.It was because I had believed Kara before I gave Nia the chance to explain.I looked down at Kara, who was still sitting on the floor.She was holding her leg and pretending to be in pain, but something about the entire situation did not feel right.I had seen what happened.I had seen Nia raise her hand.I had seen her move it toward Kara.But I had not seen her touch her.Kara had fallen backward before Nia’s hand could reach her.At the time, I had been more focused on the fact that Kara was on the floor and Nia was standing over her, but now that I thought about it, the scene did
Chapter Forty TwoNia’s POVI was hungry.After everything that had happened since morning, the only thing I wanted at that moment was to go to the dining room, sit down, and eat without having to deal with Kara or listen to another word about how much she knew Kadox better than I did.My stomach had been empty for too long, and the longer I stayed in my room, the worse I felt.I opened my door and stepped outside, but I stopped almost immediately when I saw Kara standing a few steps away.She was leaning against the wall as if she had been waiting for me.The moment our eyes met, she smiled.It was not a friendly smile.It was the kind of smile that immediately made me feel as though she had been waiting for an opportunity to say something that would annoy me.I looked at her, then at the hallway behind her.“Move,” I said simply.Kara did not move.Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me from head to toe.“I don’t want you to come now,” she said.I frowned.“Wh
Chapter Forty-OneNia’s POVI could not stay in my room.I tried to calm myself down, but every time I remembered Kara’s words, my anger returned.She had only been back for a day, yet she was already behaving as though she owned the house and everyone inside it.Worse, she spoke about Kadox as though I knew nothing about him.I finally decided that I needed to speak to him.Maybe if I told him everything, he would understand why I was upset.I walked through the hallway and found him in his study.He was standing beside his desk, looking through some documents when I entered.He looked up immediately.“Nia.”I stopped in front of him.“I am not sure I can cope with Kara here.”His expression changed.“Why?”I stared at him.“Why?”“Yes.”I took a deep breath.“Because she is making me uncomfortable, Kadox.”He remained quiet, waiting for me to explain.I started talking before I could change my mind.“I went to the living room, and I wanted to eat pasta, so I told the maid to prepare
