Swallowing my humiliation, I took off my dress, leaving myself in nothing but the lingerie set I had on. It was different when I was on duty, nudity was expected, but now, it was so much different.

Celia did her work thoroughly, before stepping away when she couldn’t find anything.

“It seems she isn’t the thief,” The Bishopp finally concluded, but I didn’t miss the slight edge to his voice.

“Is there anything else you’ll need from me?” I questioned, but my question was meant for the jerk with

    It was already midnight and I was still at the office. Letters from the Zone leaders were piled up in front of me, most of them requesting I give out a public statement on Rosalia’s death. I’d spoken to Captain Hilary, he wasn’t exactly bothered about the ex-Luna’s death, but the fact that it was causing an uproar, one that could be tamed if I ‘lied’—yes, lie, because he too believed I’d killed my own mate.“Have you told her?” Gideon asked, he was busy writing back responses to the letters. He alone had the admirable ability to articulate responses that said everything and yet nothing at all and so I’d left it to him.“Told her what?”“About the letter from the Council?”“Of course not. She’ll only worry more.”“You right,” he agreed to my surprise. “What? She definitely doesn’t need all of that on her plate, she’s already going through enough.”“Something happened, didn’t it?” It was a question as much a statement.He let out a breath, “You should ask her about it,”“Start talking.

    CASSIANI sat in the investigation room before a middle-aged woman with short graying hair. Gideon stood outside, just by the door.“Lucia, that’s the name right?” I questioned and she nodded. But I didn’t miss her trembling hands, or the way she kept biting on her lips in worry, or the way her eyes kept darting to the door as if she was calculating her possibilities of escaping. It was zero, but that didn’t stop her gaze from trailing to the door one more time .“Y-yes, Alpha,” She stammered. She was afraid, I could sense it.“I’m not going to hurt you Lucia, all I’m going to do is ask you a few questions.” She nodded urgently.“I’ve heard from a few sources that you’ve been spreading some information about me and the ex-Luna. And I just want to know why?”Now Gideon stepped in, shutting the door behind him and that seemed to worsen the woman's nerves. She reached for the cup of water on the table and brought it to her lips, but her trembling hand hardly allowed any into her mout

    Layla sat on the chair in front of her dressing mirror, her tiny hands clasped tightly around Tom—her new stuffed cat, as I brushed through her long, blond locks. I was worried about her. She’d refused to eat; in fact, she’d hardly said a word since she woke up this morning.“I don’t want to go to class,” she murmured.“But honey, you love dancing—”“I don’t want to go to class!” she snapped and I paused.“Layla, are you alright?”“I want momma,” she cried, and my chest tightened. “I want my momma,” she went on.I dropped the brush and picked her up, but she struggled away from my grip, until I put her down. “Where is my momma—and uncle Jaffason?”“Jaffason is back in his pack, but he’ll be visiting you in a few days.”That did nothing to stop her tears, “Take me to momma,” she cried on. For the next thirty minutes, I tried to get her to stop crying, but she wouldn't and with each passing minute, I could feel the familiar panic rising. I couldn’t do this, I was foolish to think I c

    All this time, I’d been completely oblivious, but suddenly I could see it. The looks, filled with hatred, the way parents pulled their children away from me as I walked past, the murmurs that followed me—none of them bothered to hide the fact that I was the subject of their hushed discussions.The anger I’d earlier felt had faded, and I couldn’t help but go over the woman’s words. What had she wanted to say before Gideon cut her off? What exactly had I been blind to all this time?I should have noticed the pack’s sudden coldness the day of my arrival, I should have noticed the accusation in their eyes, but I didn’t. I was too caught up in my life and my problems, I didn’t care to look deep enough. Now though, I was looking and I didn’t like what I saw. The hallways out of the building seemed to stretch on and on, an unending walk of shame. Scrutinized by judging eyes, I felt myself grow smaller with each step I took—and there was the overwhelming urge to hide away behind Gideon. “Oh,

    I was living in the very same room as Cassian. It all felt surreal and yet nothing about it felt wrong. On the contrary, it all felt… right.Cassian joined me in Layla’s new room.“Do you like the redecorations?"I nodded, “It’s… cute,” I admitted. The room had been designed in purple and white, with everything a child could need made available. It was every child’s dream room.“One more thing,” Cassian said, handing me a black-card.“What is this?”“A card in your name, you are free to get anything you need—there are no limits. Also, your father would be placed on salary—enough to give him a very comfortable life, there are jobs available if he likes having something to do.”Tears filled my eyes, “Cassian, this is too much.”“You’ve given me much, much, more.” He whispered.“Thank you—for everything,”“No, thank you, for giving me another chance.”Layla was on the bed, scribbling in a note book. I sat beside her. “What are you writing?” I questioned.“I’m drawing,” she answered, her

    ELOISE’S POV“Nice, isn’t it?” My father questioned, as I walked into his apartment.“It is,” I agreed. From the fireplace, the sparkling chandelier, the floor to ceiling windows it was clear this was anything but a regular room.“It looks nothing like the one back at Winter-Hill,” he said and I couldn’t agree more. This place screamed luxury, but there was something about the coziness of the one back at Winter-Hill that made it feel like more like home.“Will you be alright here?” I questioned and he nodded. “I brought along a few of my things,” he said, gesturing to the bags. “A few pictures on the wall and it’ll look more ‘homely’.”“Dad, I truly can’t thank you enough for coming. Now more than ever, I need my family by my side.”“This is good for me too. Perhaps a change of environment is what I need to finally start healing and moving on.” He admitted.I took his hands, “We are in this together, never forget that.” But he gave no response to that and that’s all it took for me t
