Call me Mom :Mated to my EX's Alpha Father のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Juliette’s point of view.“So, did you enjoy the Alpha’s cooking yesterday?” Rosie’s voice rang from behind me, almost causing me to flinch in fear.“Geez, are you a cat? You almost scared me,” I said, adjusting my gown as I stared at myself in the mirror. “Well, I’ve been knocking for a while but someone’s too busy smiling at her reflection in the mirror to notice”. She teased. Today was Charlotte’s engagement day. After much talk and encouragement, her mother had finally agreed to let her get engaged to Kingsley.Even though I still could not wrap my head around why an older man like him would be after such a young woman. I had been married for a while now, and yet my husband had not touched me.“Probably because he is impotent,” my wolf said.“Not a good time, little wolf,” I replied.“Did you just call me…” She started, but I shut her out before she could continue. I laughed softly to myself.“Ohhh? Someone had a great night,” Rosie added again, helping me with the zip of my gow

Juliette’s point of view.I could see Charlotte tense up in fear. “I didn’t mean to. Sorry,” her voice came out weak and defeated.Caleb murmured a few more words before patting her shoulder and walking away with that same fake smile. A wave of uneasiness filled me immediately. I stayed hidden for a moment longer, watching Charlotte wipe her eyes quickly before she slipped away too.He had really changed. Not for the better though. He no longer screamed and blamed everyone when things did not go his way. Now he acted more mature on the surface, burying his dissatisfaction deep inside and using quiet threats instead. That felt way more dangerous than his old outbursts.I shook my head and walked away from the corner, my steps a little heavier. Rosie was still waiting nearby, looking at some flowers in the garden. I joined her and kept my voice low.“Have you noticed any changes from Caleb lately?” I asked.“Aside from how overly polite he has been? No. But after seeing this just now, I

Juliette’s point of view.I stared blankly at the wall for a long moment after Rosie asked the question. The same thought had been bothering me for weeks now. Does my father actually know that Cordelia killed his favorite son?Somehow, deep inside, I still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Father had always favored my brother so much. He was like the apple of his eye, the one who carried all his hopes for the future. There was no way he would have known Cordelia harmed him and simply done nothing about it.But then again, Father would hurt anyone if it meant gaining more power. I sighed softly. “I don’t know, but I doubt it. He might know of her being ruthless, but definitely not of the murders,” I responded.“My late brother has always been favored by my father. I doubt Father could actually harm him,” I added quietly. After saying that, my thoughts drifted back to my mother and my heart tightened painfully. I missed her, even though I had never physically met or seen her.

Juliette’s point of view.I gasped for air at her words, feeling as if my heart was being torn open. They killed her… they… he killed his own wife for another woman. He knew! He knew all along.The truth hit me like a heavy wave. All these years I had blamed myself for my mother’s death. I thought I was the reason she was gone. But it was my father and Cordelia. They planned it. They took her from me.How…how is that even possible? She was his wife! The mother of his own children but still….my hand gripped the front of my clothes as I tried to steady my breathing. How could he be so cruel?! “Please, that is all I know. Please spare my family. I am already dying. Maybe this is the consequence of my actions, but please spare them,” the woman begged, her voice breaking.I forced myself to stay composed and not let the tears fall. My hands were still shaking, but I kept my voice steady. “Stop the car.” I ordered “Luna…” Rosie started, her eyes meeting mine in the rear mirror .“Now.” I

Juliette’s point of view.Everyone stared at me with eyes filled with disbelief. Lucian’s guards looked absolutely furious, their fists clenched and faces twisted in outrage, as if my words had personally slapped them across the cheek.“Geez! I can’t believe you’d say something like that, Luna.” One of them spat, not even bothering to hide the disgust dripping from his voice like venom. His eyes narrowed, boring into me as if he could will me to take it all back.“We might as well just let her die since she already decided to betray her husband and pack,” another chipped in, his tone cold and final, crossing his arms over his broad chest like he was already washing his hands of me.“Luna…” A third one called out, stepping forward a little, his voice softer but laced with that same condescending pity. “I know you’re saying this out of impulse. You don’t have to be scared. Dante is a dangerous man—even if you don’t like our alpha, you can’t go with this man. He’s a criminal with serious
