CHAPTER 51

RONAN’S POVI stood at the pack grounds with my men, watching them load the vehicles while the morning air blew cool around me, but I barely felt any of it because my mind was still back at the pack house, still thinking about Mira and the way she had looked at me last night, and I felt the heavy weight pressing me down in my chest because I had not seen her before I left, and that thought would not leave me alone.Then I saw Declan and Dorian walking towards me, so I straightened up and tried to look calm, but Declan opened his eyes wide with surprise when he saw the convoy ready to leave.“Ronan,” Declan said, with confusion thick in his voice. “What is this? You are leaving?”I nodded. “Yes, Alpha Declan. I need to return back to my pack as soon as possible.”Declan frowned and said, “But we are not done with the treaty yet, and Alpha Kael has not even arrived. We were supposed to finish everything together.”I sighed deeply and said, “I am so Declan for leaving like this, but I ha

CHAPTER 52

MIRA’S POVI sat on the edge of my bed, with my cheeks still stinging from the slap Aunt Mae had given me. The pain was still very sharp and burning, but it was nothing compared to the ache in my chest. Ronan had left me. He had left without saying goodbye, without even giving me a chance to see him one last time. I felt abandoned and confused, wondering why he had gone and if he would ever come back.Then I picked up my phone, hoping for some kind of answer, and I saw a message from him that I had missed earlier. My heart leaped as I opened it and read the words out loud.“I have to go. My father is ill. I will be back, I promise.”I let out a breath I did not realize I had been holding as it dawned on me. So he had not left without telling me. He had sent a message, but I had not seen it because of everything that had happened. I felt a wave of relief was over me, followed quickly by worry about his father. I hoped his father would be okay. I hoped Ronan would be safe and I hope he

CHAPTER 53

MIRA’S POVI stood in the middle of the room, feeling like everyone’s eyes were on me. The laughter and chatter of the other women filled the air, but it all sounded distant and muffled, like I was underwater. I felt out of place, like I did not belong here, and the knowing looks from the other women made my skin crawl.Claudia led me around the room like I was a prized pig being shown off at the market. She introduced me to different women and everytime she spoke, her words were filled with mockery. “This is my daughter in law, Mira,” she would say, her voice sounding sweet but her eyes were sharp. “She has been married to my son for three years now. Still no child, but we are hopeful. Very hopeful.”The women would nod and smile, but I could see the pity in their eyes, and sometimes, even the judgement. Some of them would whisper to each other when they thought I could not hear, and their words cut deep like knives.“Three years? That is a very long time.”“Maybe there is something

CHAPTER 54

RONAN’S POVI sat in my chambers at Stormcrest Pack, staring at my phone without really seeing it. Mira’s message was still there, burning a hole in my screen, and I had not replied to yet because I did not know what to say. She was hurting, and I was not there to protect her, and the guilt was eating me alive.I had read her words over and over again. She had told me about the function, about the women who had humiliated her, about Claudia enjoying every moment of it. She had told me she missed me, and I had not even had the courage to reply because I did not know what to tell her. I wanted to tell her I was coming back, that I would dix everything, but I was stuck here, trapped by my father’s plans amd Nova’s endless presence.I had barely been home for a few days, and already I felt like I was suffocating. Everytime I tried to find a quiet moment, someone will interrupt me — an official with pack buisness, my father calling me to his chambers, and Nova appearing out of nowhere with

CHAPTER 55

MIRA’S POVI sat on my bed, my body trembling with anger and exhaustion. The humiliation from the function was still fresh in my mind, and I could still hear the cruel laughter of those women as they looked at at me with pity and judgement. Claudia had enjoyed every moment of it, and I knew she would not stop until she had broken me completely.I looked at my phone, hoping to see a reply from Ronan, but there was nothing. The screen was blank, and the silence felt heavier than any words could. I wanted to believe that he was just busy, that he would reply soon, but a small part of me was starting to wonder if he had abandoned me. I shook my head and pushed the thought away. I had to trust him, because I had no one else.A sudden knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. I opened it to find a maid standing there, with her head bowed low. “The Luna Dowager wants to see you,” she said quietly. “In the sitting room.”I felt a wave of exhaustion was over me. I was tired of being summo
