/-Miray-/I only managed to settle my nerves after entering my room, my frustration still simmering beneath the surface like boiling water. Fuming, I pulled out my phone and began scrolling the internet.‘Ways of seducing a stoicman.’“Young miss, breakfast is ready.” I heard a familiar voice from outside the door.“I will be right there, Aunt Lucia.” In a bad mood, I stepped out of my room and made my way towards the dining room. Surprisingly, Lysander was there.Seeing the bright smile on Clarissa's face as she tried to initiate a conversation with Lysander, only to be responded to with a subtle nod, I rolled my eyes. Forcing a smile, I approached, “Morning everyone.”A hint of annoyance flashed in Clarissa's eyes as though displeased that she had been interrupted in her bid to know Lysander better. But she still managed a smile.“You are up early.” She pointed out and I only nodded. I sat at the end of the long table, right beside Lysander as I watched Clarissa with a knowing smi

/-Miray-/“What do you want?” I asked coldly, crossing my arms in front of my chest as I glanced at him in annoyance. Although Royce's influence in the pack was not massive, it was still not something the current me could stand against, regardless of my family background.At the end of the day, he's still a direct member of the royal family. If not, I would have found a way to get rid of him completely or make sure he doesn't dare show his face anymore. I have all the evidence after all.However, I had no choice but to put up with it until my plan was ready to be implemented. That is, until I'm able to meet Leonard.“Won't you at least take the flowers?” He asked with a smile and I just stared at him, not even glancing once at the flowers he extended towards me.Then, he shook his head helplessly, “You are still so stubborn.” Before I could reply, he added, “In a few weeks, my father will be celebrating his forty-fifth birthday. And I felt it would be nice if we attended together, as

/-Miray-/Aunt Lucia's complexion was deathly pale and her body shook with uncontrollable tremors.Seeing her state, I suddenly felt remorseful. I shouldn't have revealed my discovery to her in such a manner.However, I really had no choice. Delaying wasn't going to help at all.“W…what did you just say?” She asked, gripping my wrist so tight that I felt a slight pain.“Aunt, take a seat first, okay?”I helped her settle down on a seat in the dining room, then sat beside her and explained how I found out about Uncle Ben's infidelity. When I finished speaking, I stared at her, but became worried when I saw how vacant her eyes had become.I showed her the pictures I took and also played the recording I made when the waitress spoke. Yes, I had recorded it.So, even if Aunt Lucia doubted it, all the evidence said otherwise. “Aunt Lucia?” I called out worriedly, patting the back of her hand.“Young miss, what should I do? What should I do now? I have always considered him a considerate a

/-Mireya-/The old woman’s face contorted into a mask of rage. It wasn’t shame or guilt, it was the rage that came with the fact that Aunt Lucia dared to reject her.Aunt Lucia took a step towards her and uttered using a cold voice, “From now onwards, I have nothing to do with your family, so you better convince your son to sign the divorce letters.”I added in the same tone, “And I would advise you to tell him not to come back here, or he would have his legs broken.”Her face turned ugly, “You…you can’t fire my son. He has done nothing wrong, Lucia is the vixen here! She accused my son. You mustn’t listen to her.”The old man also became agitated, “I want to speak to the boss. A young girl like you has no right to make decisions here.”I snorted, wondering inwardly if these two old hags were just dumb or stupid, or probably both.I grabbed Aunt Lucia’s wrist and said, “Aunt, let’s go inside.”She nodded and turned around without hesitation.“Where do you think you are going? I’m not

/-Miray-/In the Silvercrest pack, the police weren’t a force even the royal family could control at will. They were a separate institution established to uphold law, protect civilians, investigate crimes, and maintain order throughout the pack. They answered to the law and to justice, not to the crown.Of course, the crown and some other forces still held considerable influence within the pack, but influence was not the same as authority, especially towards the police force. This force was backed by the justice council, a council feared even by the Alpha King himself.And if the king himself attempted to interfere with their investigation, the police had the legal authority to refuse his command.And these men knew it.The man released my hair like he had been scalded. He didn’t even wait for the others before he made a run for it, their heavy boots making loud thuds against the ground as they fled.Uncle Ben glanced at me once, a mixture of annoyance, irritation and anger flashing
