Chapter 21

EmmaA wave of guilt crossed Andrew’s face. Meanwhile, Jessica’s face turned red. A wave of satisfaction flooded inside my chest seeing her face like that.“I’m sorry,” Andrew said. His voice was much softer now. “I shouldn’t have yelled. I just... There’s so much pressure tonight, and I got carried away.”“I know you just want everything to be perfect. But it’s going to be fine. You can rest assured that I won’t do anything to humiliate our pack. Because your shame is also my shame. Right, sis?”Jessica’s face turned redder. But she immediately hid her humiliation by pretending to be lively. “Of course, sis. We should all work together in ensuring this party will be a success.” Andrew let out a quiet laugh, and just like that, the earlier commotion passed. I excused myself for a moment to check on the final preparations.A few hours later…The guests began to arrive one by one. The hall looked magnificent with the silver and blue decorations glowing under the warm lights. Everythin

Chapter 22

Entertain him? What does he mean by that?“Sorry, Alpha, but I don’t get what you’re trying to say.”I started to feel nervous. And yet, I tried my best to stay calm. There was something about the way Alpha Rogerr looked at me that made me super uncomfortable. It certainly felt like he would do something bad to me. Meanwhile, Alpha Roger’s men began to laugh quietly. I looked at Andrew and hoped for some clue about what Alpha Roger was trying to say. But he remained quiet. Meanwhile, my Dad seemed unaffected. Like whatever happens to me was none of his concern. “Oh, come on, Luna Emma,” Alpha Roger chuckled. “What’s not to understand? Today is a celebration. We need some fun, don’t we?”He turned to the side and walked towards the fire pit in the corner. The burning embers from the ritual earlier were still glowing. They were still burning hot. Then, Alpha Roger looked at me with an indifferent stare and said,“I want to see you walk into these embers. If you do that, I’ll sign the

Chapter 23

Andrew“Andrew… Do you really mean that?”I was speechless. The disappointment in her eyes crushed my soul. Her eyes never left me, wearing that pain that made me unable to breathe.At that point, I wanted to chase my own words and put them back in my mouth. I couldn’t stand a second staring at Emma’s eyes. My lips trembled, trying to utter a few words. But then again, I was reminded I was the Alpha of this pack.I had said what I said. An Alpha always honored his words. Without it, the pack would crumble into pieces. Taking back my words would mean painting my name with my own hands.My mind controlled the muscles of my lips. I didn’t say a word, even after witnessing Emma’s disappointment.“Very well!” Emma’s father exclaimed. He turned his fierce eyes on his daughter, waiting for a reasonable response.Out of the blue, Beta James’ words echoed in my head.“A certain sacrifice means everything if it’s done for the sake of our people.”Emma was the Luna of the Pack. Like me, she was

Chapter 24

EmmaI shed a tear not because of the pain beyond my wildest imagination, but because of who was holding the paper that led me into this permanent wound. My heart broke into a million pieces, reminded that Andrew was the one who held my hand closer to the mouth of these monsters.“How foolish…” I whispered, blaming myself for holding onto the same small hope I had kept for Andrew.The luna title I held was nothing but a name. There was no worth in carrying this title. I had no idea why the moon goddess chose me. But if we ever faced each other one day, I would ask her with this same heavy heart.“Was I cursed?”This stupidity might be a curse. Or a disease without a cure. Why couldn’t my heart understand that Andrew would never care? I had seen it multiple times. I had confirmed it through countless actions. And yet my heart clung to that small beacon of desperate hope that one day, everything would change like a tide switching its current unpredictably deep in the waters.I never lea

Chapter 25

EmmaThe room fell silent. That one question hit the deepest part of me. It touched a pain I had tried so hard to hide. My chest tightened. Was I really that pitiful in other people’s eyes? I swallowed as the truth hurt more than I expected it to be.I took a deep breath. And then, I placed a hand on my stomach. I had been pretending to be strong for so long. Yet deep inside, I was falling apart. The smile I forced looked more like a sad mask than anything real.“Soon,” I said quietly. “I want to end this marriage soon… and start over with my baby.”I breathed in again. This time, deeper, like I was trying to make a release. I had been thinking about it more and more lately. And sadly, all of the thoughts and scenarios inside my mind only led to one destination. Letting go. This wasn’t just about me anymore. If I couldn’t save myself, then I had to at least try for the innocent soul inside me. For my baby, and the promise of a happy and better life for him.Ken moved closer and sat

Chapter 26

Andrew“I told you…I’m a man of my word,” Alpha Roger boasted as he waved the papers that sealed our deal.Beta James stood by while Alpha Roger looked at me with a smug grin. Around me, the room buzzed with some discussions but none of it reached me. My mind was elsewhere. No, with someone.Emma.My heart felt restless. No matter how hard I tried to insert myself in this conversation, I just couldn’t. It was like everyone around me was speaking a different language that I didn’t understand. Fuck! What the hell is wrong is with me?Emma’s face haunted me. It was burned into the back of my eyelids. I blinked, but she was still there. Her face in pain and disappointment was playing inside my mind over and over like a broken record. And deep down, I knew it was my guilt eating me because of what I did to her. I should’ve been with her. I should’ve never let her stand alone.I wanted to go back to her and check if she was okay. I wanted to thank her for carrying the burden that she shou

Chapter 27

EmmaInside the Cavanaugh Hospital….The hospital room was large and clean. My bed was comfortable enough to be mistaken for a hotel bed rather than something used in the hospital. A vase of fresh flowers sat on the side table, and the air smelled faintly of lavender instead of antiseptics. I turned to my side a saw a doctor reading my chart, while a few nurses moved around quietly, checking on me. Andrew was nearby, observing. He leaned in and spoke to the doctor in a low voice.“I treated her wound quickly back in Dark Desert. Please check it again and give her something strong for the pain,” he said.The doctor nodded and thanked him.Even though Andrew wasn’t the one holding the tools, it was clear he had some kind of power here. The nurses moved quickly, and the doctor followed his requests without question. They treated me with care, like I was someone important.And I wasn’t used to that.For a moment, something warm settled in my chest. I turned my gaze to Ken. He was doing r

Chapter 28

EmmaAndrew glanced at me while driving. “I thought you were going to wait for things to settle down in New York?”I gave a bitter smile. “Plans have changed, Ken.”After everything that happened tonight, I think my soul finally screamed loud enough. I’d had enough. I lost count of how many times I disrespected myself just to win Andrew’s heart. I forgot my own worth trying to prove my love. I gave up the purpose I once had, all for a wolf who did nothing but hurt and humiliate me.There was no reason to delay anymore. It was time to move on.Admitting it out loud was hard. I had been holding onto the same fragile hope every day, blindly believing that fate would one day choose me. But I was wrong.Now, I had no choice but to leave.A part of me still wondered, though. Was Andrew doing this on purpose? Did he really want to get rid of me? Did he hate me that much?Ken let out a sigh and spoke in a calm but serious tone. “I understand. I’ll take care of everything you need.”I was take

Chapter 29

AndrewInside the hospital, I remained motionless. My thoughts went back to the scene earlier. Emma sat in that wheelchair, her feet wrapped in bandages. I thought I should feel something. But surprisingly, I didn’t. Nothing. No guilt. No pity. No regret.“You really didn’t feel anything after what happened? Emma was hurt, and you allowed that to happen,” Stan said in my head. “How could you be so heartless?”I didn’t answer right away. He wouldn’t understand, anyway. He still thought like someone who had the luxury of feelings.“She deserved it,” I said finally. “And it had to be done.”I wiped my hands on my pants, like a gesture to remove the cup of guilt from my side. Alpha Roger made his conditions clear. He wanted loyalty. Proof that I could make the hard calls. That I could lead without hesitation and I could put duty above emotion.The business deal he offered would open doors, alliances, resources, and influence. It would secure our future.So when he asked for entertain

Chapter 30

I ran my hands through my hair before letting out a deep breath. My head was filled with so many thoughts. I made a choice. And I wasn’t going to back down now.I sat quietly, trying not to think, when the door opened.“Alpha Andrew,” Mathilde said as she walked in with a doctor.“Good evening, Alpha,” the doctor said. “The patient is stable. She can go home tonight. It was just stress. Nothing serious. Just make sure she gets rest.”I gave a small nod and looked at Jessica. “That’s good.”Just then, another nurse stepped in. “Miss Mathilde, someone’s asking for you outside.”Mathilde turned to me. “Please watch over Jessica for now. I’ll be back soon.”“Of course.”Then, she left with the doctor eaving me alone with Jessica.After a while, neither of us said anything. The room felt still until Jessica broke the silence above us.“Are you okay?” she asked. When I turned to her, she was smiling. Her voice pulled me out from my thoughts. I gave a short nod. “Yeah. I’m fine.”I nodded.
