Tiffany's P. O. V.A sight of that commoner woman in front of us is enough to make me want to strangle her neck. The guts of her to come in front of us and stand like a clean and innocent woman when she's definitely our enemy now. Well, she really came from our enemies. Werewolves. And she's even a rogue one.I grimaced and didn't stand to pay respect to her. Who is she, anyway? She's just a random woman Duke married in convenience. Tsk!And now, Duke will surely get rid of her. A Guardian, huh? I wonder what st*pidity the Moon Goddess had for making her a Guardian who would oppose our laws. 'Oh, Avery, you'd be dead soon. And not even your family that you're so proud of won't be able to protect you. Even your sister, Valerie.'I can't wait to spread the news and make everyone lose hope on her having a great reign while she's on the throne. Enjoy it now, because your time is running out and you'll soon lose everything you can think will last for a lifetime, including your own life. Whi

Avery Elise's P. O. V."We won't be welcoming you, Avery. You were never really welcome here, anyway!" I tried my hardest not to lower my head after hearing Morgan's humiliating words. "Cut the choices! You'll be divorcing my son, right now!""What?" I asked in surprise while looking straight at her eyes."Yes, you heard me right. You will divorce, Duke." She emphasized every word she said. "A Guardian shouldn't survive, we all agreed on that even before.""I have told you, she is a Catalina!" Chairman Myers' voice echoed in the whole room.I can already sense the tension between the two of them, but my worries were still focused on the fact that she wanted me to divorce Duke now."I don't care what kind of family she comes from! Tiffany's family can rise too if we'll help them the same way we did to the Catalina's before!" Morgan shouted.I sneered at her after hearing what she said about my family, "Catalina's house is already on the top even before we came in partnership with the My

Avery Elise's P. O. V.I had been quiet the whole time, even after Duke asked me to walk with him outside. I need to think about everything carefully, and I mean every single little detail. Duke probably felt that, too, as he let the silence eat our surroundings.I can feel the flowers and leaves touching the skin of my hand until I stop walking. Duke stopped as well and I felt him watching me intently.I took a deep breath before I turned to face him. And I was right, he really is watching me. His eyes are too focused on me, actually."I think…" I trailed before I avoided my eyes on him. "I think, I can't, Duke." I shake my head at him."You can't do what?" Duke asked as he took a step closer at me. "Y-Your mother's right.." I whispered and closed my eyes tightly. "I can't even be your Queen, what more of being a Guardian? I'd probably mess everything out."I didn't hear any response from Duke so I thought that he didn't actually care. Slowly, I looked up at him and was surprised to

Avery Elise's P. O. V.I knew what was the right thing to do. And I knew, from the very beginning, that I should sacrifice more than to receive more. I slowly looked up to Duke and found him staring at me as well.It's like he already has an idea of what I want to do and I don't need to say anything, but his silence… I can't stand it. We already have a plan, but the Luna of the Forest Pack is important. She's our informant. And whatever kind of news she has right now is probably important.But Duke… How will I tell him what I want to do, now that we're both ready to leave and do our plan?'It's for the better…' I comforted my mind before I gathered all my courage to speak to him."Duke.." He only looked at me and didn't say anything, but his eyes said otherwise. He was looking at me with no emotion in his eyes now, gone from the smile that he showed me earlier. "I have to be there, not Morgan."I can tell that Duke's presence really did change. I feel so cold now, actually. Not by the

Avery Elise's P. O. V."Here." I looked up to the woman who's about my age as well and smiled at me as she handed me over the glass of water that she was holding. "Grab a drink. Your lips are too dry."I nodded at her before I slowly accepted the glass in her hand. "Thank you."She smiled widely at me before she stepped away. While drinking the water she gave me, I was silently roaming my eyes around me. Why do I always wake up from a strange place?I took a deep breath while giving back the glass to her. I don't know who this woman is, but I'm certain that we're already on our destination. "You're not a Lycan," I suddenly said to that woman while looking out of the window. I noticed when she froze after hearing my emotionless voice. "Yet you can enter the territory of the Forest Pack." I looked back at her and found the worry in her eyes. "Who are you?"I swear that I sensed the fear in her eyes and for a moment, I even thought that she would collapse while looking at me and the smi
