34. Familiar Astrid's POV:I can't believe how nice Rafael is, and seeing other people appreciate and trust me sparked something in me.I have to admit that I felt terrible about the entire scenario since I felt I was somehow responsible for everything that was happening with them, but his assurance that none of this was my fault soothed my nerves. As we traveled the next day, I noticed a familiar path. Initially dismissing it as a coincidence, I tensed when I recognized our pack boundaries.I tensed in my seat. Are we planning to go there? I was confused. All the memories of that place that I had tried so hard to forget came flooding back. I'm curious how my brothers are doing; do they miss me? Do they ever even think about me? Maybe they're happy with their own lives without me bothering them, or perhaps they've forgotten about me by now, or maybe they miss me since they've lost a maid who used to work in their house for free and would take their insults without saying anything.Cro
35. Friends Astrid's POV: I stood in awe, finding a cupboard filled with dazzling crowns. Different parts were packed with exquisite crows, each one unique in its own way. I whirled around, my eyes wide, feeling as if I were in a dream or a high-end jewelry store. "What are these?" I asked. "Crowns, duh!" he said sarcastically. "Yes, I know, but why so many?" I asked. It seemed like he had an obsession with crowns, much like my obsession with shoes. In the past, no number of shoes was ever enough for me. I think he wanted me to choose one now, but I was confused and didn't know how to respond. "Yes. Every place I go on business excursions into the human world, I have the habit of buying the finest things for my sister, and in the meantime, the idea of my mate would cross my mind, and nothing would feel more valuable than a crown for you, but I do have other things as well. So... I think that clarifies everything." He described everything to me in detail. "What? But, Rafael, I c

79. Forgiveness and Leaving BehindAstrid's POV:"I didn't do anything; it was them," Cindy remarked, pointing to my stomach as my family entered the room. "Oh," Cindy murmured, pulling her fingers back.I scowled and stared at them. "What exactly are they doing here?" I directed my question toward Rafael."Astrid, we really regret anything we did. We can't even express how horrible we feel." I signaled with my hand for them to come to a halt and asked Rafael again.""'What are they doing here, Rafael, and why aren't you doing anything?' I said." "You shouldn't have allowed them to come in here in the first place," I told him."Come with me, Little Dove." He took my hand and led me into a room next to ours. He shut the door to give us the solitude we required."I know you are mad at me, but you don't know a few things that I do. To be honest, I was the one who determined they didn't deserve to live, but you have to listen to me out, and I'll leave it up to you. We'll do whatever you t
