Elowen’s POV

The next morning, I started looking for a way to leave.

Not immediately tho, I wasn’t packing. I wasn’t making plans to disappear. I was simply trying to understand what leaving would actually require. I found Mara in the servants’ corridor after breakfast.

She had worked at the estate long enough to remember me before Seraphine returned, but she never treated me differently because of it.

“Mara?”

She turned, “Yes, Lady Elowen?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    25. The One Who Looked At the Fact

    Kaelith’s POVI heard about Elowen’s request from Caelan. We were in his office discussing the alliance when he mentioned it almost casually.“She asked me to help her find a mate.”I looked up from the document in my hand.“A mate?”Caelan nodded.“She wants to leave the estate after your mother recovers.”I set the document down, “She intends to leave the Veyra Pack?”“She hasn’t decided where she’ll go.”“And she asked you to find her someone?”“Yes.”I leaned back in my chair.That was unexpected. Not because a woman wanted a mate. That was hardly unusual. It was the timing. Elowen had spent most of my visit avoiding attention. She had never approached me privately. She had never tried to speak to me about Seraphine. She had never asked what I thought of the alliance.Not once. If she had wanted to interfere with Seraphine’s position, she had been given several opportunities. She hadn’t taken any of them.“Did she mention why?” I asked.Caelan hesitated.“She said she wants a life

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    24. Draven Belived Her Guilt

    Draven’s POVI heard about Elowen’s request before noon. She wanted a mate. I stopped halfway through signing a report.“A mate?” I repeated.The servant standing across from my desk nodded quickly.“Yes, Beta Draven. Alpha Caelan is apparently looking into suitable arrangements.”I stared at him, because of all the things Elowen could have asked for, that was what she chose?After everything that had happened, she was suddenly looking for a mate?I pushed the report aside, “Who told you this?”“Two of the house servants were discussing it in the west corridor.”Of course they were. Nothing stayed private in the Veyra estate for more than an hour. I leaned back in my chair, folding my arms.“She wants everyone to know.”The servant said nothing. I dismissed him with a flick of my fingers. The moment the door closed, I scoffed.A mate. It was another performance.Elowen had always known how to make people feel sorry for her. She had done it for years without saying much at all. A lowe

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    23. The First Little Accusation

    Elowen’s POVThe family meeting was supposed to last ten minutes but it lasted for like an hour.I sat at the far end of the sitting room while Caelan, Mother, Seraphine, and two household advisers discussed Mother’s recovery.I wasn’t there because anyone needed my opinion. I was there because Caelan had asked me to stay.“Mother’s walking twice a day now,” Seraphine said, looking through the physician’s notes. “The physician thinks we can increase it gradually.”Mother smiled, “I already told him I can walk farther.”“You said that yesterday,” Caelan replied.“And I was right.”Caelan laughed. Seraphine shook her head.“You’ll exhaust yourself if you keep trying to prove everyone wrong.”“I wonder where you learned that stubbornness,” Caelan said.Mother gave him a look, “Don’t start.”Everyone laughed.I smiled faintly and lowered my gaze. The conversation continued. Seraphine had arranged Mother’s appointments, meals, medication, and walking schedule. She knew everything now. The

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    22. The Sister Who Was Supposed to Be Happy

    Elowen’s POVMother was sitting by the window when I entered her room the next morning. She had already eaten. That alone told me she was doing better.“Good morning,” I said.She turned toward me and smiled.“Good morning.”I walked to the bedside table and checked the medication. The morning dose was still there.“You haven’t taken this.”“I was waiting for you.”I looked at her.“Why?”“So you can complain if I don’t.”A small laugh escaped me, “You don’t need me for that anymore.”Mother smiled, “Maybe I like having you here.”I didn’t answer. I poured the medicine into the small cup and handed it to her. She swallowed it, then reached for the water.“Too bitter?”“Awful.”“You’ve said that every morning for years.”“And you’ve never found a better one.”“Because you refuse to take it without complaining.”She laughed. The sound was easier now. Her strength was returning. She could sit without getting tired as quickly. She had started walking short distances around the room, and

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    21. The Request He Couldn’t Ignore

    Caelan’s POVI remained in my office after Elowen left. The door was still closed. I stared at it longer than I meant to. She had stood on the other side of it only seconds ago, asking me to find her a mate as calmly as if she had asked me to arrange a doctor’s appointment.A mate. I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my forehead. It didn’t make sense. Elowen had barely been home for weeks. She had spent two years in Blackstone.She was still adjusting to the estate, still sleeping badly, still flinching whenever someone moved too quickly around her. And now she wanted to leave the pack.With a mate. I shook my head.“This is ridiculous.”The words sounded weak even to me. I looked toward the door again. There had been a time when Elowen never knocked. She would simply push the door open and walk in.Caelan, are you busy?Caelan, I need money.Caelan, Mother said I could take the horse.Caelan, I broke something.Caelan, don’t be angry.She used to sit in that same chair and tell me e

  • The Alpha’s Forgotten Daughter; The Luna They Threw Away    20. Find Me A Mate

    Elowen’s POVHe set the pen in his hand down, “Of course.”I remained standing and he waited. When I didn’t speak immediately, he gestured toward the chair in front of his desk.“Sit.”I pulled the chair out and sat. Caelan leaned back.“Is it about Mother?”“No.”“Did something happen?”“No.”“Then what do you need?”His questions came one after another.“Money?”I shook my head.“A physician?”“No.”“Something for the house?”“No.”He frowned.“You can ask me, Elowen.”“I know.”“Then ask.”I took a slow breath. My hands were shaking beneath the desk. I pressed them together until my fingers stopped moving.“I want you to help me find a mate.”Caelan stared at me.“What?”“A suitable mate.”He blinked, “Did someone approach you?”“No.”“You met someone?”“No.”“Then where did this come from?”“I’ve been thinking about it.”He sat forward, “You’ve been thinking about finding a mate?”“Yes.”“Now?”“Yes.”His eyes searched my face.“Elowen, you just came back from Blackstone.”“I know
