Se connecterEllen:When Felix came into my room, he showered me with so much affection that I forgot everything that had happened.At first, I had been furious because Alpha King Sevyn was showing far too much concern for his new sister.He had no idea that she didn't deserve any of it.But after the way Felix treated me in the bedroom, everything felt right again.Then, when he left, I heard voices outside and realized that Felicity had caught him coming out of my room.I had to wake my son.I pinched Noah until he woke up crying, then leaned closer and whispered in his ear that he was supposed to tell everyone he'd had a seizure.My son was very intelligent, and I had trained him well.He knew he was only allowed to say what I told him to say.He never spoke out of turn in front of others and followed my instructions without question.I knew a thing or two about discipline.I wasn't some careless, carefree woman like Felicity. I was sensible, composed, and knew exactly how to carry myself.And
Felicity:"What the hell are you doing? And why are you shoving that camera in my face?" Felix shouted, but knowing Sevyn had arrived, he quickly changed his tone, making himself sound more confused than angry."What were you doing in Ellen's room at this hour of the night?" I screamed, slowly lowering the camera.If he tried to lie, I would play the recording of Ellen screaming his name."What do you mean, what was I doing? What kind of question is that?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly as he kept glancing toward Sevyn."What the fuck is going on here?" Sevyn demanded as he entered the living room."Why don't you ask my husband what he's been doing in Ellen's room for hours when he should've been in our bedroom? Especially this late at night!"I let out a small cry as I noticed Sevyn scanning him from head to toe. I guessed he had noticed Felix's condition, too.Felix looked like a complete mess. He wasn't even wearing his coat."Why were you coming out of your sister-in-law's
Felicity:I went straight to the washroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection.Sevyn's coat was still wrapped around me, and for some reason, it brought me an unexpected sense of comfort.Despite the freezing cold and the embarrassment I'd endured, I couldn't remember the last time anyone had made me feel so comfortable.I shook my head, trying to push those thoughts aside, when my gaze drifted to my neck.Slowly, I picked up a wet wipe and rubbed away the makeup concealing the mark, wanting to take a closer look.It was right on top of Felix's mark.If Felix ever saw it, he would immediately realize it wasn't his.A small portion of his mark was still visible beneath the new one, which was noticeably larger, with deeper impressions left by much bigger teeth.I sighed and carefully reapplied the makeup, making sure both marks were hidden before untying Sevyn's tie from around my waist and slipping off his coat.For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to put it
Felix:And just like that, Felicity was back.This time, though, she had thrown a black blazer-like coat over her clothes.Her makeup had been toned down, and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.The moment my gaze shifted past her, I noticed Alpha King Sevyn standing beside her.It did not take me long to realize that the coat she was wearing belonged to him, and so did the tie wrapped around her waist.I did not know exactly what I felt, but the sight did not sit well with me. It was jarring, and probably not only to me.The difference was that everyone else likely saw nothing more than Felicity returning to the gathering.Most of them probably did not recognize the Alpha King's coat, and even if they did, they would simply assume he had helped her.But for me, it was different.Why the hell was he helping her?Why would he give her that much importance? Why would he leave the gathering, go outside, help her, and then personally bring her back?I tried not to react to Ellen's s
Felicity:“My sister?” he repeated, stepping closer and placing the coat across my lap.The moment it settled over me, the cool fabric brushed against my hands.“Your sister. Ellen,” I muttered, rolling my eyes.“Who told you she was my sister?”There was already a note of judgment in his voice.I sniffled again before climbing out of the car and turning around to slip into his coat.It was enormous on me. The hem fell almost to my thighs, hiding nearly all of my dress, while the sleeves hung well past my wrists.“I don’t know. I thought you’d made her your sister,” I complained, remembering what Ellen had told me before.“Well, I haven’t. And if she told you I did, then she lied.”I turned around and stared at him while slowly buttoning the coat.Once it was fastened, though, the oversized shape swallowed me so completely that I looked almost square.Apparently, Sevyn noticed too.Without a word, he loosened his tie and pulled it free from his collar. Then, with delicate movements, h
Felicity:I was the only one who had not been present at the funeral.Sitting in the car with tears streaming down my face, I searched through my phone and learned that the rogues had launched an attack, killing several warriors.The ceremony was meant to be their final farewell, a joint funeral for all those who had lost their lives.What hurt even more was that Felix had chosen such a solemn moment to make me look bad.He did not seem to care about the grief of the victims' families or the people mourning their loved ones.All he cared about was turning everyone against me, and painfully enough, he had succeeded.He had made me look so terrible that I could barely bring myself to face my own reflection.I remained in the car, crying quietly. I had thought coming back here and fighting them would be easy, but with each passing day, the battle was becoming harder than I had ever imagined.These people were clever. Far too clever.They knew exactly how to manipulate situations and play
