"Della! Oh, how I’ve missed you so much!" I had only just bid farewell to the strange man who had extended his hand to me when I heard Fae calling out well before I saw her. As I began walking toward the banquet hall, I could finally see her in the distance, her red hair bouncing amidst the crowd.
His fiancée? It wasn't until I heard Margot mention her that I noticed Flora standing beside me. She wore an understated white dress paired with a light blush that brought some life back to her spritely face. The makeup did a wonderful job of concealing whatever tragedies she claimed to have suffer
"Oh, stop it already! As if I’d waste any breath explaining myself to you! You don’t even deserve to know who I am," Fae shot back, standing confidently with her hands on her hips. "Scream all you want, you ugly bitch! No one here will help you!" Unable to hide her childish streak, Fae stuck out he

"What? No! The bog is disgusting! I'm a werewolf, not a boar!" Upon hearing his protests, Father became even more enraged and slowly stepped forward. Jackson tugged at Fae's dress in fear, the weight of Father’s anger crushing Jackson as he approached. He raised his hands in surrender and pleaded,
"I didn’t think something like this would ever happen! For the exact same necklace to be gifted to her is an absurd coincidence!" Flora said in exasperation, her expression as innocent as always. Taking my hand, she continued. "Margot, Della is just an Omega. A slave! How could any of us have known
Kylian's POV "I've told you many times, Oliver. The answer is no." I put my phone on speaker and tossed it on the bed, letting out an exasperated sigh. As I lay where Della once did, gazing out the tiny window of her bedroom, I felt a deep sense of regret. I was still frozen in time, stuck in the
"Margot and Flora took your invitation," Henry finally admitted. "What? In what world would they be permitted to do such a thing? That invitation was addressed to me, the Alpha!" "My apologies, but Flora claimed that they were your orders." "And my Beta was such a fool that he didn’t even bother
‘Not while I’m here,’ I silently vowed to myself, feeling my heart clenched with pain.“Della!”I was jolted back into reality when I heard Albert’s booming voice echoing in my ears, paired with Aaden's hard tap on my shoulder.Blinking a couple of times, I was shocked by everything I was thinking a

Kylian’s POVI didn’t know when or how it started, but it had been like this for years. The name Flora had become like a stubborn splinter stuck in my heart. Every time I heard it, a sharp, burning irritation would curse through my being.Taking a deep breath, I turned around and sent him a sharp ga
She went silent for a while, and I saw her demeanor changing through the monitor.“Do you understand?” Henry pushed through.“Yes…”“Just escort them safely. That’s your sole purpose in meeting them,” he said sharply.“Yes, I’ve escorted them out safely–”Henry looked at me as if to see if I was alr

“You know, I’ve always wondered… what kind of history do you have with Mr. K? He’s not someone who takes notice of people easily,” she asked.Merely tilting my head and feigning mild amusement, I asked with a raised brow, “Shouldn’t you be asking him that question instead?”How would I know what’s g

My jaw tightened, and my hands curled into fists. Stepping forward, I replied in an icy voice, “Krendrell isn’t the manager of this place anymore, Mason. You should learn to restrain yourself before I report this disgusting behavior of yours to the Lycan Princess.”Unfazed, Mason hysterically laughe
