Cecilia POVI handed the ledger back to Mindy and turned to leave."I didn't realize Mindy was coming to ask for your help with Vahn's wedding," Pearly said, catching up with me. "If I'd known, I wouldn't have brought her here.""It's fine. Mindy's in a tough spot, too," I replied.As soon as Pearly and I returned to my room, Rosie appeared with Mindy. It was clear they were here to ask for money to fund the wedding.I had no intention of inviting them in, but Rosie breezed past me, settling comfortably on the balcony. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a seat across from me."Cecilia, I heard you visited the palace a few days ago. Did you meet with the Alpha King?" she asked. When I didn't respond, she continued, "I also heard the Alpha King refused to cancel the wedding. Honestly, why go through all this trouble? The wedding between Vahn and Freeda is already set in stone. As they say, 'Don't air your dirty laundry in public.' If you're upset, you can talk to me. I still

Cecilia POVPearly and I were having dinner when Rosie's screams shattered the evening's calm. Her cries pierced the quiet, relentless and echoing through the manor."Don't feel sorry for her!" Pearly said, cutting into her grilled fish with determination. "She deserves it! They've all taken your hard work for granted this past year. Now, let's see how they manage without you."Since my return from the palace, I had stopped overseeing the meals at the manor. Pearly had hired a chef for us, and we enjoyed our dinners on the balcony of my room.But as night deepened, Rosie's unending screams made sleep impossible. Frustrated, I got out of bed, retrieved the handgun my father had left me, fitted it with a silencer, and slipped out the window.In the small woods outside the manor, I found a secluded spot to practice my shooting.Regular bullets wouldn't harm werewolves; even a shot to the heart would heal almost instantly. But a wolfsbane bullet was a different story—those wounds too

Cecilia POVAfter Vahn, Rosie, and Freeda left my room, I immediately locked the door. I opened my laptop and began reviewing the assets my father had left me. Beyond the 20 hotels and over a hundred restaurants, Rosie and her family likely didn't know the full extent of my father's wealth. In fact, he had also invested in several pharmaceutical and tech companies.When my father and brothers passed away, my mother, Aria, quickly stepped down from her position as Luna. My father's brother, Norman Shore, took over as Alpha of the Lotus Pack. When my father was still alive, my mother loved dressing up and wore a different dress every day. But after the deaths of my father and brothers, she adopted a simpler lifestyle. Every morning and evening, she would pray for their souls. She never touched a single cent from my father's inheritance, giving everything to me.Sometimes, I wondered if my mother might have taken her own life to be with my father if it weren't for me being alive."C

Julian POVFor the past few days, we had been busy negotiating with the envoy sent by the Western Rogue King. After finalizing the ceasefire agreement that morning, my father, Hogan, finally had some time to relax.After lunch, Hogan suggested we play a game of polo. However, considering Cecilia was still waiting for us at the Thorn Pack, I suggested we first help her sever her mate bond with Vahn.Ben nodded in agreement. "Cecilia has been waiting for almost a week without any response from us. It's best to assist her as soon as possible.""I almost forgot about it," Hogan said. "Ben, please prepare the helicopter.""I'll join you as well. I'd like to discuss some details about Vahn's actions on the northwest battlefield," I added, finding an excuse though my true intention was to see Cecilia.An hour later, we arrived at the Thorn Pack. A maid in the garden saw us and, in her panic, dropped her watering can before bowing deeply."Please inform Vahn and Cecilia that the Alpha K

Cecilia POV"Does he often treat you like this?" Julian asked as he walked with me back to my room."Not often, but it's not the first time," I replied.Noticing the murderous look on Julian's face, I quickly added, "I'm fine. It's just childish behavior. He's the one who should be embarrassed, not me.""If anyone bullies you again in the future, just let me know," he offered."Do I look like a pushover? Didn't you hear Rosie calling me sly and malicious this afternoon?" I blinked at him playfully.Julian smiled at that."That glass of wine will have to wait until tomorrow," I said as I opened the door to my room."The wine here isn't the best. Once you're no longer the Luna of the Thorn Pack, I'll take you to taste the finest wine you've ever had," Julian promised.After wishing Julian goodnight, I lay down in bed, feeling a sense of satisfaction as I awaited the arrival of the next morning.The following day, Pearly accompanied me to the square where Vahn was already waitin
