Chapter Thirty-twoGet Some RestAngel Meadows"How could he do this to us, Mother?" My voice cracked as the tears streamed down my eyes in torrents. I had tried my very best to hold my tears back during the severance ceremony, trying to hold my head high and pretend like my father's betrayal hadn't shattered something inside me.But now, in my mother's house and in her room where I saw her eyes rimmed with tears for the first time in my life, I couldn't help but break down."After twenty five years? Andhe decided to humiliate you this way? After every sacrifice you've ever made for him? Why does he choose to be so cruel?"Even with the tears in her eyes that threatened to fall, mother sat on the couch, her hands folded in her lap leaning back. The cold look on her face told me she was broken, but she wasn't going to cry. I watched as the tears slowly dried up from her eyes, and she finally looked at me without a flicker of emotion."He will come back." She said coldly. "And when he d

Chapter Thirty-fourPersonally CuratedAngel Meadows"He bought me chocolates..." I giggled, twirling a strand of my blonde hair around my pinky finger. "And it was my favourite kind of chocolate. I didn't know he knew what I liked."The memory of Ash sitting beside me on the bed sent another fresh wave of warmth, and I giggled and put my arms around myself as if to hug me. I felt so giddy because the memory was on repeat in my head, and this was the first time he was doing something this sweet for me in all three years of our marriage. This should mean something, right? This should mean we were getting really close, right?Sera had a light smile on her face as she carefully brushed my hair gently, and her words were just soft and encouraging. "That's really wonderful, Luna. It seems like the Alpha is finally showing you the attention you really deserve.""It's more than that." I clasped my hands together and turned to face her, my eyes shinning brightly. "For one, he came to me for a

Chapter Thirty-sixTo Confront HerAveline MeadowsBy the time I disappeared from the corner, I had made sure to calm my erratically beating heart. How could I be so stupid? How could I have forgotten what my main purpose here was for? What if the Alpha's plan had worked and I ended up showing him my real face? Not only would I be scorned, but eventually he would find out that I had no wolf, and it would be the most horrifying thing to ever happen.I would be branded and punished for trying to confuse the Alpha's mind by making him believe I was something I wasn't. And when that happened, what would be left of my daughter? She would be discarded as well, and I was certain they wouldn't care either that she had royal blood running though her veins because she probably has no wolf since I don't.But still... I needed this money, and there was only one thing I could do. I took out a parchment paper and wrote a letter to the headmaid, Sera, knowing fully well I wouldn't care if she agreed

Chapter Thirty-eight The Clay MarketAlpha Ash Caden"Where is she?"The maid froze, her hand hovering over the stack of papers on my desk. She was new, young, with mousy brown hair and wide, frightened eyes and she looked like she might faint at the sound of my voice."I... I don't know, Alpha. I was just told to clean the study today.""By whom?""The head maid, Sera. She said Aveline was on leave and asked me to cover her duties." The maid's voice trembled. "I'm sorry if I've done something wrong."I stared at her for a long moment, my jaw tight. On leave? Aveline had gone on leave without a word, without even a note to tell me where she was going or when she would return? I thought we were on speaking terms now. "Leave," I said, my voice rough.The maid's eyes widened. "Alpha?""Leave the study. Now." I moved toward the window, my hands clasped behind my back. "From this moment forward, no one cleans my study or my chambers except Aveline. Is that understood?""Yes, Alpha." She

Chapter FortyTalk Tomorrow Aveline MeadowsThe room was so quiet that you could hear the clatter of a spoon against a plate if it fell, and all eyes were on me obviously because I was the only one wearing a mask. My heart was pounding so loudly against my chest, and I was certain that the high ranking wolves in this gathering could hear it.But I didn't care about anyone's eyes on me, only him. The Alpha. His silver eyes were fixed on my face, waiting, watching, and I knew there was no escape. Was this his doing? Sure, he wanted to see me without the mask, but this wasn't how he had planned it from what I overheard the last time in his study. But then again...This is for the best, I told myself. This is the only way I could get the Alpha to give up on trying to know me so that I could focus on my life and taking care of Lumi, while he could focus on his."Okay, I will do that." I said softly and reached up with trembling hands to untie the mask behind my head.It fell away, and th
