Chapter 231: Helene

I rushed through the trees, not really paying attention to where I was going. I was trying hard not to cry. I knew that Sutton meant well. I did. But that didn’t make it easier. Not anymore. For the first time since my diagnosis, I felt like I was making progress. I actually felt like I was coming close to some semblance of a normal life.And maybe it was because she called me out in front of Jaden. Yeah, sure, he knows about my condition and all that, but that doesn’t mean I want everyone to keep reminding him.My steps slowed. I took a deep breath and released it slowly as I began to calm down. I had finally admitted to myself that I had a crush on Jaden. But I also knew that nothing would ever happen between us. Even if I wasn’t just a sickly human, he was a lycan and a Beta. Ranking members of lycan packs always waited for their fated mates. I knew that much at least.That was enough for me to, at the very least, not make a fool of myself in front of him. Yet I still wanted to be

Chapter 232: Lucas

I sat in my office the next morning, catching up on some emails, when Jaden came in. I half-grunted a greeting as he fell into the chair across from my desk. I hadn’t spoken to him the night before, other than to tell him we were back. Although he apparently found that out when Sutton stumbled across their activities in the woods.I had to admit, I was actually at a loss on how to deal with the mood she was in when she got back to the suite. I settled on just letting her vent for a while before doing everything that I knew was guaranteed to take her mind of the issue. Not that I hadn’t planned on doing those things anyway. Besides, this one was between Sutton and Helene. I’d be a listening ear or a steady shoulder, but I had a feeling this was something they needed to work out on their own.“So, how was the trip?” Jaden said as I finished replying to a stock report. “Should we be worried? Do I need to up the security at the ceremony?”“Not just yet,” I said. “Let’s see how the king ha

Chapter 233: Sutton

I sat on the couch with my legs tucked up on my chest, staring at the jewelry box on the coffee table in front of me. I’d woken up not wanting to think about it. Not wanting to think about my argument with Hannah. Not wanting to think about the pressure of splitting my time between home and the capital. Not wanting to think about everything that was making my life so complicated these days.So, I avoided it. I went down to the gardens and worked with Tanjie for a few hours. We were doing a lot of planting at this stage now. This was the one thing I had been looking forward to the most since the fountain. So, I spent a few hours just throwing myself into the work. Putting all my focus into the work I had missed more than I realized.But… I couldn’t escape the rest of my life for long. After a couple of hours, my focus wavered, and my mind kept coming back to my mother and her journals. And the jewelry box that I had stolen. So, I excused myself and returned to the empty apartment, too

Chapter 234: Sutton

“Helene, are you sure?” I pressed. “There are a million ways that could have happened…”“I’m sure,” she said, somewhat solemnly, her cheeks flushing. “I was about five, I guess. But I was playing at Mom’s vanity and I knocked it onto the floor. She didn’t get mad at me, but she looked so sad when she saw it. I know it was this box because… because a few days later, they told us she was sick. I blamed myself for a long time thinking it was all my fault.”“Oh, Helene,” I said sadly, gripping my sister’s shoulder. “Mom’s illness had nothing to do with that.”“I know that now.” Helene half rolled her eyes, but there was still a heaviness about her. “But to a five-year-old, it’s an easy leap to make. And it’s etched into my brain forever. So, yes, I’m telling you this is the same jewelry box.”I took it from her hands and sat back down on the couch. So, this was the same box I remembered admiring as a kid.“I felt like I was meant to find it,” I said out loud as I thought. “So, how did it

Chapter 235: Lucas

My reason for delaying may have sounded like an excuse to Helene, but I didn’t care. It didn’t take a psychic to know that once we found Korinna, everything was going to change. And likely faster than any of us could handle. Regardless, my statement was valid. We all needed to take a step away and focus on more pressing responsibilities before we were potentially pulled away from them for the foreseeable future.Sutton fixed some dinner and Helene left soon after. As Sutton cleaned up, I was reminded of another reason I had insisted we stay, and it wasn’t the spike of anxiety I had sensed in her earlier. I moved behind her to put the dishes in the cabinet, stopping to breathe in her scent, deeply and completely. It was in these moments I missed our time at the manor house. When our time was just about the two of us.Sutton turned to face me, her arms snaking around my neck as she pushed up on her toes. She kissed me firmly. Her tongue darting out to find mine as my hands started to ro

Chapter 236: Lucas

I woke up to my phone buzzing on the nightstand. Sutton stirred next to me but didn’t wake. I looked at the time on the bedside clock. Four AM. Grabbing my phone, I checked the screen. It was Wesley. I cursed in my mind, knowing this would be important. I rolled over and kissed Sutton’s hair, tucking her further under the blankets. Dragging myself out of bed, I pulled on a pair of sweats. I grabbed my phone again just as a message came in.‘Meet me in your office.’ – WesleyMy brow furrowed. I didn’t know he was coming back to the territory, let alone back to the packhouse. He must have arrived during the night. My stomach sunk. I had a bad feeling about such an unexpected arrival.I shoved my feet into a pair of shoes and headed toward my office. The packhouse was still quiet. There would only be a few people out in the halls. The early risers. But otherwise, the corridors were still shadowed from dim lighting.When I arrived at my office, I found Wesley standing at the window, illum

Chapter 237: Lucas

A growl rumbled low in my chest. The sound was instinctual, primal, a vibration that reached past words and into the old, marrow-deep language of dominance. The envelope in his hand was as much a weapon as a gift, and he knew it. I didn’t like the threat behind his tone. Or the fact that he thought he could go behind my back in my own pack.“I don’t cave to threats, Wesley,” I warned him. My voice didn’t raise but it cut, the syllables cold as steel. “Remember why you returned to Dranfort in the first place.”Wesley swallowed. “I am,” he said. “That’s why I’m doing this. I failed one child. I won’t fail another.”His jaw set, the cords in his neck standing out. For all his flaws, the man had the desperate tenacity of a father with nothing left to lose. But he still had plenty to lose.“By discounting the damage Hannah did to Sutton,” I retorted, letting the words linger, charged and ugly. “She set Sutton up to be murdered.”“She didn’t know he was…”“Don’t give me that bullshit,” I be

Chapter 238: Sutton

Lucas was gone when I woke up the next morning. He’d left me a message that he had gone to the gym but that he’d be home for lunch. I had a dress fitting later in the afternoon with Tarrah and the other girls. So, I took my time showering and getting dressed before sitting down to read over the ceremony ritual. We would have several rehearsals before the night of the event, but I wanted to be as prepared as possible before then. I really didn’t want to embarrass myself, or Lucas, by not having a clue what I was doing. The pack deserved more from their Luna.I set an alarm for the time I needed to start making lunch. It was a good thing that I did, because I ended up engrossed in my studies. Learning about the meaning and history behind the lycan ceremonies was fascinating and beautiful. It made me feel closer to Nova and my pack. I could only imagine how connected I would feel after the ceremony.I reluctantly put my research aside once my alarm went off and started preparing lunch. I

Chapter 239: Sutton

“Earth to Sutton. Hello,” Tarrah waved a hand in front of my face.“Huh… oh, sorry. What were we talking about?” I said, shaking myself out of my thoughts.“Girl, that’s, like, the third time you’ve zoned out on us today,” Sera said as she held out a glass of champaign for me.I winced. Realizing I was being rude. They had been such a big help with planning this ceremony that they deserved my full attention.“I’m sorry,” I said, taking the glass. “I’m a bit distracted. A lot going on, you know. But I’m all yours now.”“That seems like more than just a distraction,” Sera speculated. “Is everything okay?”I chewed my lip, not sure I wanted to get into it all with everyone. Tarrah and the others had tried on their dresses first. They all had looked beautiful and I could see why they were so excited for the ceremony. I was trying to figure out how to change the subject when Simone came out of the back room with a broad smile and a dress draped over her arms. Lenesha, the designer, right b

Chapter 240: Sutton

I couldn’t answer that question. I reached out to Nova but her indecision on the matter was as strong as mine. After a tense silence, I let out an exacerbated grunt and threw my face in my hands.“I don’t know,” I groaned. “Honestly… my first instinct is no, I don’t want her there. I feel like it would be foolish to so easily give Hannah the opportunity to ruin such an important event. And after… after everything she’s done it would be foolish not to expect that she would try. The easiest way would be to bring Alpha Anders. And let’s face it — it wouldn’t really be her bringing him, would it? It would be Anders flaunting her in my face, because that’s the only way she would be able to show up.”“Then it’s settled,” Tarrah said. “She’s not getting an invite.”My stomach fell into my gut and my shoulders drooped. She should have been right. We should have been done with the conversation. So why did I feel so… defeated about it?“Sutton…” Sera pressed.I let out a long slow breath. “On t
