บททั้งหมดของ Pregnant Before Goodbye; His Misjudged Luna: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 47

FREYAWe arrived at Madame Claire's pack three hours later. I breathed a sigh of relief as the car pulled to a stop. We were surrounded by lush greenery on all sides. Leo’s pack was huge and rich, but Madame Claire's pack was beautiful, a stunning forest like community surrounded on all sides by tall woods. She met us at the door, smiling up at me happily. “Ah, there you are, Freya. I was worried Aswar got lost for a second.” She leaned in to kiss my cheeks, then shook Lizzy and Mia’s hands when I introduced them. “Thank you, Madame Claire for this chance, I won't disappoint you.” I said, gazing down at her steadily.She waved us into the house. “I should be thanking you, Freya. But let's not discuss work today. I have a small welcome party organized for you. Come in.” Lizzy walked up beside me as Madame Claire hurried ahead. “I have a feeling we'll like it here. What do you think?” She asked. I had the same feeling. Being able to escape here without Leo’s knowledge was a good

FREYA “Seems your father deceived you about a lot of things.” Derek said. The words stung a little, but it was true. Father had lied to me for years. “And Joel didn't tell you the truth still?” Derek asked. “No, he only said father asked him to leave the pack just before things became so bad. Father had already drained and drank away the family's resources. After mother's death, he wasn't keeping on top of the finances at all. I wasn't surprised when he pushed me towards marrying Leo.” I answered, feeling embarrassed that I hadn't suspected any of this. “And you believed him?” “Why wouldn't I? He was my father. He had no reason to lie…” I wasn't so sure anymore. “Your father and mine were good friends, Freya. My father wouldn't have stayed friends with someone who was careless with resources. Something must have caused your father to change so drastically.” “That makes sense. What if Uncle Joel was involved in some way?” I forced my mind away from the thought. He was

FREYAI’d never seen Derek this way before. His shorts was slung low on his hips, his eyes dark and relaxed. Sweat dotted his forehead, flattening his hair over his forehead. “I have a meeting with Quade early in the morning. I decided I'd spend the night.” He said. The dark promise in his voice caused my lungs to contract in panic. I couldn't seem to take in more air. His form hulked over me as he stepped closer. His muscular build seemed to tighten further. I let out a scoff of disbelief to distract myself from staring. “You weren't waiting around to hear Anwar return me safely to the pack house?” A low hum came from Derek, causing goosebumps to cover my skin. Why did he seem so different tonight? What was happening? “And if I was?” He asked, pressing further into me. “Derek, I've told you there no reason to worry so much.” I said, shaking away the entrancing scent of his skin filtering into my nose. “Isn't there? Did you know Leo has been search parties after you?” He aske

FREYAInstead of going downstairs to lunch, I stayed locked away in my room. Now that Leo knew where I was, he would try to do something drastic. I didn't believe his words to Uncle Joel were idle threats. But I needed to make a decision before I could face him. The next morning, I went to my office and tried to avoid everyone. Madame Claire, Derek and even Sera and Lizzy. But almost as soon as I arrived, I heard a knock on my door. “Who is that?” I called out, my heart lodged in my throat. “It is Ashford, Luna Freya.” Ashford's voice answered. Ashford? I hadn't even known he had come with Leo. What did he want? Had Leo sent him? I opened the door and walked back to my desk. Ashford came into my office and sat in front of my desk. “Is there something wrong?” I finally asked when he didn't say a word. “How are you related to Ms. Caroline?” Ashford questioned. What an absurd question. Wasn't it obvious that the woman hated my guts? “I'm not related to Caroline in any way.” I
