Semua Bab Forsaken by the Moongoddess : Bab 91 - Bab 100

Abby's POVI’d been miserable the more since the news broke about Hayden’s accident. Valentina had turned the house into hell, blaming me for it at every turn.I’d called Alex countless times, but his answer never changed. Hayden still didn’t want to talk to me. My chest ached every time I heard it.Derek’s number wasn’t going through either. I needed to ask him why he’d decided to ruin my relationship with Hayden. Why?Dragging myself out of bed, I shuffled downstairs. My nights had been restless, my appetite almost gone. I wanted to check on Maggie, she was still recovering from that kitchen accident. But something about it never sat right with me.I knocked on her door.“Mrs. Roche,” she greeted softly when she opened it.“How are you feeling?” I asked.Her lips curved in a small smile. “Almost healed. Thank you.”I studied her. “Maggie, you’re always careful. How exactly did you ‘slip’ with hot water in your hands?”She hesitated, glancing around like someone might be listening. “

Abby's POV The sun seeped through the blinds. Sleep had finally claimed me after Derek’s call last night, but his words kept echoing.“I swear, Abby, I didn’t know,” he’d said, voice raw. “That morning…I was already drowning in chaos. My beta and a few warriors had been ambushed by rogues. They lost too much blood. I stepped in, but when they tested mine…” His breath had hitched. But he'd continued. “The doctors said I couldn't donate blood. They found something strange in it. I guess someone had spiked my drink at the mating ball.”My skin had prickled. Spiked? At my father’s pack? Who would go that far to drug him at the ball? For me, I could almost believe it. They hated my wolflessness enough. But Derek? Why drag him into it?My thoughts spiraled. Whoever paired us in that scandal wanted more than humiliation. They planned this. Deliberately.I turned to my side, staring at the faint outline of the curtain swaying with the morning breeze. My chest tightened. I couldn’t risk see

Hayden’s POV“You ever find out what happened to those Ashwolves after the crash?”“From the info Lucious and Brian pulled from the cameras, they drove off. The car you hit? Just a dent. Driver walked away unharmed.” Alex’s tone was flat, but his eyes were sharp.“They’re all working together,” I muttered, jaw tightening. “That driver was Ashwolf too.”“Still can’t wrap my head around how those bastards even drive.”“Mmm.” I hummed, nodding. “We see Clara tomorrow, right?”“Yeah.”My brain was now totally on work and not on some woman erased from my memory. I forced myself to chew another bite of the burnt sacrifice Alex made and swallowed it with Nathan’s pills.After a short rest, the cops arrived. Alex opened the door for them, then disappeared into the inner living room while I handled it.“Mr. Roche.” The man held out his hand. “Detective Michael Hitter. This is Detective Sophia Moore.”“Welcome.” I shook his hand briefly and motioned to the seats.Sophia offered a polite smile a

Hayden’s POV Abby said she was framed. Lie or truth, it didn’t matter. All I could feel was the ache grinding in my chest, and it pissed me off. I should’ve rejected her already. Cut it clean. End it.But I couldn’t. And the fact that I couldn’t only made me want to forget her more.A mindlink snapped through. ‘Alpha, the ashwolves have retreated. Borders are clear.’‘Good. But still be vigilant.” I shut the link and another voice followed right after. ‘Alpha, someone's at the pack's main gate seeking to see you. Her name’s Jessica.’Jessica? She hadn’t told me she was coming. We still saw in Kea city. ‘Let her in.’ I replied, jaw tight.“Alpha, the Ashwolves retreated. Here's the footage.” Lucious stepped into my office, holding out a tab.“I heard.” I snatched it from him, scrolling. Alex leaned over my shoulder, both of us watching the grainy playback. These ones are exactly like the ones that had tailgated me. “Alex,” I said, my voice low. “Let Jacob know about this Ashwolves d

Abby's POV I didn’t know how my legs carried me home from Hayden’s office. Seeing that woman… Je… something. Jessica. Yes, Jessica. Watching her stroll through Duskfire like she owned the pack made my already sore heart squeeze tighter.The image of her and Hayden at the masked ball in Kea flashed in my mind. Her laugh, his hand steady on her waist. Although, he swore afterward that she meant nothing. But now? What if she saw this as her chance? What if she planned to seduce him, to take him while things were already rough between us?I ignored her when she tried to greet me. She brushed it off easily, as if I was the last thing she needed to worry about.Goddess! I dropped onto the couch in the sitting room. My head was a mess. I was a mess. Maids moved past, but the whole house felt empty, like even the walls had also turned their backs on me.Is this what I’d been reduced to? Helpless. Waiting. Hoping Hayden wouldn’t shove me away completely.Tears streamed, hot and unwanted. I ha
