Semua Bab Betrayal, Love and Revenge: Bab 21 - Bab 30

ASPEN VESPERIt was her sister, Raven.And the moment Aspen locked eyes with her, she quickly found a way to stop her tears.Crying in front of her enemy was the worst thing she could do in such difficult times.“It is you, right? You changed your mask.” Something was off in Raven's speech. The woman wasn't acting as though she already knew Aspen's true identity. And that begged the question of whether the woman was pretending or if she truly didn't know about Aspen's identity reveal.But if the latter was the case, that would be ridiculous. Aspen was certain that everyone in the palace would have been entranced about the news of a doctor from The Rebel Pack who attempted to kill the Luna Queen. Certainly, the news, both true and false, would have gone beyond the walls of the palace.So, something was indeed wrong.Aspen quickly guarded her soul. If her sister was pretending, that would make things worse because it would m

ASPEN VESPERGoing back to inform Raven that she had accepted her offer was a bitter moment for Aspen. Raven's cruelty was something she could not decipher, even though it was linked to how she snatched her mate.“This is wonderful!” Raven laughed loudly. “This will be the best vacation ever! We should get matching swimwear and go to the beach.” The woman reached for a notepad not too far from her bed. “What’s your bra size? 34 C? D?”“Luna Raven,” Aspen stopped the woman before her pretentiousness could irritate her more than it should, “I appreciate your help. But I can take care of my needs.”“Oh, is that so? I was just hoping we would get to shop together.”“I am your doctor, not your friend,” Aspen snapped with the most polite tone she could find. “Some boundaries should not be crossed.”“Oh.” The woman smiled, and Aspen glimpsed at the not-so-hidden anger within that smile. Her sister truly was a crazy bitch on a mission. “You are right.” she chuckled while brushing her hair wit

ASPEN VESPER“Kailin is here?” Aspen was surprised, she could not hide it. “Why?”“Do you think we should ask him why?”“That won’t be wise,” Aspen replied. “He is still our enemy. Sort of.”“Hmm. Let’s step outside and see what his deal is.”They did just that. When they reached the porch, they had to walk past an excited crowd.“This is insane,” blurted Aspen the moment she saw that cameras and reporters were circling Kailin, who was answering questions with a natural smile.“Aspen, your face,” Lance called her attention to her exposed face. Thankfully, he was wearing a hoodie, which quickly came off and was used to cover her face.Ever since she returned to The Nyx Pack, Aspen hated to admit that she bore a striking resemblance to her sister. But that was the truth. And if Lance wasn’t quick enough to think of shielding her face, she might have been mistaken for the Luna Queen at some point.“Thank you, Lance. I-” The man was shirtless, and that pulled some attention to them. With

ASPEN VESPER“Oh, great. Doctor Sabrina, you are here,” Raven said.If Aspen wasn’t playing some sort of game with her wicked sister, she would have flipped the chair she was about to sit on and freaked out. Because it got on her nerves that the woman was still playing innocent even after exposing her real identity in front of the media.“Where were you?” Raven continued while cutlery hit plates as every other person faced their meals. “The Lycan King and I were ready to appreciate and honour your expertise in front of the cameras. If you have a clinic back where you are from, the exposure would be good for business. Let us fix a date for you to go on air. We can invite the Surgeons Association to-”“We don’t need to be so elaborate.” Kailin’s heavy voice stopped her ranting. “Doing that is a waste of time. Stop rambling about nonsense and face your meal.”“I was no

ASPEN VESPER“How… Why are you here?”“Is something the matter, Miss Aspen?” She ignored the coldness in Kailin’s voice.With a deep wrinkle in between her brows, she confusedly pointed behind her, while saying, “How come you are here? Shouldn’t you be-” The sensual moan she was running away from filled the space. “-with her?” Aspen relaxed her stance and stopped shamelessly displaying her confusion. “Is Raven cheating on you?” she directly asked. “She cheats on you, yet you keep quiet about it?”“Aspen,” he merely breathed after seconds of silence had passed.“Kailin,” she took a step back when she finally realised that he was still holding her dearly, “what on earth do you think you are doing? Is this the kind of life you are living?”“I-”“When did you find out about the cheating? Has it b
