007

Her eyes snapped open in shock. "How dare you talk back to me? You are fired!" Emily yelled fiercely, trembling with rage, her voice sounding boisterously in the hallway.

I felt my lungs grip with terror. I can't let my thirst for revenge ruin my plans.

I needed to be with my family. I sucked in my breath, immediately bowing my head in submission. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I just wanted to inform you about the necessary information you needed to know. I'm sorry if I stepped on my boundaries," I pleaded, immediately gnawing my tongue with my teeth. The moon goddess knows how I want to rip this witch apart. She swiveled her piercing gaze towards Lambert and sneered, "So you brought this... thing to insult me?" Her tiny, high-pitched voice was sharp enough to draw blood from someone's ear.

Lambert threw his hands to his forehead, caressing his temples gently. He seemed weary. "Please, Emily, when will you stop? Please, I need to take her to her room right now."

Her emotions flickered between jealousy, hate, and something I couldn't comprehend.

"Please, Mommy, I don't like her," Leo's tiny voice suddenly cut in.

I felt my heart shatter; Leo was calling her "Mommy"?

This is unfair!

How did Emily wrap my family around her fingers? I felt a leakage in my heart, bleeding rapidly.

Emily drew Leo into a hug, caressing his hair softly. "It's fine, don't worry. When Daddy wakes up, we will tell him, okay?"

Leo nodded in response.

I felt tears prick at my eyes, threatening to fall, and I instantly shut my eyes tight. Emily will pay for this betrayal! She will; I am giving her my word.

I clenched my hands tightly at my sides, trembling from pain and rage as Emily excused herself, her hands wrapped around my child, leading him away.

I stared blankly at their shadows slowly fading away as my heart clenched tightly. The air was thick with silence, and Lambert's voice suddenly cut through the cold ambiance. "Why did you hug my boss's son like that? Do you know him from before?"

My eyes flew open in horror. I was so consumed by my affections that I forgot it would raise questions. My mind swirled in a haze, confusion feeding on my brain like it sought nutrients.

"Yes... he reminds me of my chil... nephew," I stuttered, shrugging as I caught my breath.

He stared at me deeply, deciphering whether the information I had given was true. I immediately averted my eyes, my eyelashes damp with tears.

He moved forward, heading into the visitor lounge in silence, clearly indicating that I should follow him.

I followed him leisurely, like a little lamb complying with its master's orders.

We finally halted at the visitor lounge door, which was slightly ajar, and he led me in. I was immediately embraced by the cold ambiance of the room; the smell of natural rose air freshener hit my nostrils as I inhaled deeply.

"This will be your room, and I will be sure to inform you when the sir wakes up," he said flatly and stroded the exit, shutting the door behind him with a click.

I stared blankly at the door, perplexed, shattered, and scared. My muscles couldn't take the weight pressed on me like metal, and I collapsed helplessly onto the bed.

My mind was messed up. I really thought I would just get things smooth and slimy, but I think the battle of my demise commenced.

The moon goddess is really playing with my fate. First of all, I died and was reborn. Secondly, I was reborn into the body of a human, losing my only source of hope, 'Celina,' my wolf, the only living thing that understands and consoles me. Thirdly, Emily, the devil I once considered a friend, betrayed me and stole my family. What did I expect from a hybrid werewolf? She was half wolf and half witch. Although I was warned by a seer that hybrids were dangerous creatures, I didn't listen; I still allowed the love I had for her to blind me, Seville.

I have just proven to be a weak omega.

She is not only going to steal my family but also the pack; she doesn't deserve to become a Luna. She's more nefarious than anyone would think. Having her around could destroy the pack, and I am not letting that happen.

But how will I defeat her? What if Ethan has blindly got caught up in her nefarious web and he's stuck.

The thought of Ethan falling inlove with another wolf, made me broke into tears, screaming loudly as I stuffed the pillow in my mouth. "I'm not sure I will be able to take this."

Time flew as the sunset slowly faded away. I lay timidly on the bed, my mind trying to process the dilemma when a loud knock jolted me up.

I strode slowly to the door and switched the doorknob carefully. I was welcomed by Lambert's blank expression. "My boss is awake; come and check on him," he uttered flatly.

I nodded in response and shut the door behind me as I followed him toward our bedroom.

We halted at our bedroom door, and he sighed deeply. I guessed he was scared of Ethan's wrath. Moon goddess, I caused it.

He pushed the door slowly and was welcomed by an icy atmosphere, guarded by darkness. Behold, sat Ethan, my mate, his expression dark and murderous, seated majestically in his golden chair.

He lazily turned his eyes toward us as his gaze bore into mine, hazardous and suffocating me with endless warnings. This wasn't the mate I once fell in love with; he seemed swapped. But something odd was happening—he couldn't take his gaze off me.

"Where is Leo?" His cold voice suddenly broke the stillness in the room, enough to make you go down on your knees. I think he has awakened his alpha aura.

"He's fine; he's with Emily!" Lambert responded.

His emotions flicked between something odd and immediately gritting his teeth hard. "What's she doing here?" he muttered coldly.
