MIA’S POV

The instant we got home, Alpha Diego's penetrating eyes met me. His brow wrinkled when he saw the marks on my arms and face.

"Mia," he continued, his voice low yet authoritative. "Why are you returning so early? And what's with the bruises? "Were you bullied again?"

Before I could react, I felt Rolex tighten beside me. His eyes widened with surprise as he looked at me, apparently taken off guard. "Wait… Was she also bullied earlier? By them? If they had done this before, why was she put back there in the first place? His words flowed swiftly, and I could see bewilderment and remorse in his eyes.

Diego sighed, his frustration obvious. "I asked you to take care of her. Rolex, you were meant to protect her. But you failed. She returned to school because of me, and now look at her." His tone was stern and disappointed.

Rolex squirmed uneasily, clearly feeling the impact of Diego's comments. "I didn't realize things were this bad." He murmured, "I have to go," and excused himself

    Mia's POVAfter Sean left, I turned to Liam with an apologetic expression, guilt weighing heavily on my chest."I'm so sorry about that," I said, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "Sean had no right to be so hostile toward you."He's always causing problems. Even when he's trying to help, he just makes everything worse.Liam has been nothing but kind to us, and Sean treats him like a criminal."It's alright," Liam said with that understanding smile that always made me feel better. "I can understand why they'd be protective of you."Protective. Such a generous way to describe their controlling behavior."Still, let me make it up to you," I insisted, heading toward the kitchen. "I'll pack us some snacks for the park."The least I can do after my ex-mate embarrassed us both.I quickly prepared a basket with sandwiches, fruit, and cookies, trying to salvage what was supposed to be a perfect day.Don't let Sean ruin this. Don't let their drama steal this happiness from the children."R

    Sean's POVI stood on Mia's porch, my heart pounding with a mixture of desperation and determination. My brothers had sent me because I was the only one she might actually listen to—the only one she showed any mercy toward since my recent poisoning.She has to listen to me. She has to understand the danger she's in.But how do I make her see the truth without revealing everything we've been hiding?When she opened the door, her expression immediately shifted from neutral to annoyed. I couldn't blame her, but it still cut deep.She looks at me like I'm a disease she wants to avoid. I deserve that, but it doesn't make it hurt less."What do you want, Sean?" she asked, her voice sharp with irritation.Straight to the point. No warmth, no concern for my health. Just cold dismissal."I need to talk to you," I said, trying to keep my voice calm despite the urgency clawing at my chest. "It's about Liam."About the danger he represents. About the lies he's been telling you."I'm busy today,"

    Mia's POVI walked out to where my children were still playing, their laughter filling the air like music. The sight of their carefree joy strengthened my resolve about what I needed to do.These moments. I need to treasure these moments before everything changes.Before I have to become the Supreme Luna and leave this simple happiness behind."Hey, my loves," I called out, settling onto the grass beside them. "How would you like to go to the theme park tomorrow?"Like other normal families do. Like I should have been doing all along instead of just surviving.Normal. Such a foreign concept for us.Their reaction was immediate and explosive. Mika dropped her toy and launched herself at me, while Marcus started jumping up and down with excitement."Really, Mama?" Mira asked, her eyes wide with disbelief. "The big one with all the rides?"The big one. Where normal children go with their normal families for normal fun."The biggest one," I confirmed, laughing as Miraz joined the group hu

    Mia's POVI wiped my eyes and straightened my spine, finding strength in the decision I'd made. Tristan's concerned face swam into focus as I met his gaze directly."I understand your worries," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "But this is the best thing I can do. Not just for me, but for everyone."He sees this as suicide, but I see it as finally taking control of my destiny. Finally stepping up to be who I was meant to be."Mia, you can't be serious," Tristan said, his voice tight with frustration. "You're talking about walking into a war zone."A war zone where I belong. Where I have a purpose beyond just surviving day to day."I'm the Supreme Luna," I said firmly. "I've neglected my duties for years, hiding away while innocent people suffered."Years of running from responsibility while packs fell and families were destroyed. I let my personal pain blind me to the bigger picture."The werewolf community needs leadership," I continued. "They need someone who understands the c

    Mia's POVThe silence stretched between us like a chasm, and in that moment, I understood everything I needed to know about where I stood with them.Still not worth the full truth. Still not trusted with the complete story. After everything I've been through, after all the pain and sacrifice, I'm still just a liability to them. They look at me and see someone who needs to be protected from reality, someone too weak to handle the truth."Get out," I said quietly, my voice hollow with disappointment.I'm done. I'm so completely done with this. My heart can't take another betrayal, another lie, another moment of being treated like I'm not worthy of basic respect. The exhaustion goes bone-deep now, settling into my soul like a poison that will never leave."Mia, please—" Xavier started, but I held up a hand to stop him."Just... get out of my house. Away from my children. Out of my life."Before I break down completely in front of them. Before they see just how much power they still have

    Mia's POVXavier's words hung in the air like a death sentence, and for a moment, I couldn't breathe. The world seemed to slow down as his confession echoed in my mind.Everything they did was to save me? Save me?The shock lasted exactly three seconds before the rage exploded through me like a volcano.Save me? SAVE ME?"You've got to be fucking kidding me," I snarled, my voice rising to a near-scream. "You did it to save me?"The audacity. The absolute fucking audacity."Mia, please—" Nathan started, but I cut him off with a gesture so sharp it could have drawn blood."Don't you dare," I spat. "Don't you dare try to justify what you did with that bullshit."Five years. Five years of hell, and they're trying to make it sound noble."You want to talk about saving me?" I continued, my voice shaking with fury. "Where were you when I was bleeding internally from the stress of your rejection?"When I was dying from the inside out because my mates threw me away."Where were you when I was
