Chapter 0011

“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. She waved at me energetically as she ran to my side, each stride whipping up her fiery locks and the rather short pleats of her dress.

I walked up to her as well and gave her a tight hug, saying, “I missed you too. Good Goddess, how long it’s been since we last met.”

She looked at me with tears in her eyes and concern invaded her expression as her gaze swept over my body. “Fantastic. You look healthy now. I was really worried about you, you know.”

“Sorry for making you worry, Fae.”

“What? No, no, don’t apologize! That pathetic excuse for a man didn’t know how to cherish the Lycan King’s own daughter as his wife. If he were here right now, I’d rip the b astard’s throat out!” Fae exclaimed, waving her fist a little too eagerly given where we were.

Then, she looked around, perhaps realizing that this wasn’t the time for her usual theatrics. Quickly lowering her voice, she leaned in and continued. “Hey, did you hear? That bi tch who was supposed to stand trial for the crash walked away scot-free. Apparently, the Alpha spent a fortune to win over the courts and sweep this whole thing under the rug. But if he had the power to do that, why would he let you take the fall…?”

I didn’t know what else I could say, since the answer seemed to be so obvious to me. Kylian had asked me to stand trial because it would

do more than just protect Flora. He would have also gotten rid of a thorn by his side at the same time. I was nothing to him, a tool that he was eager to sacrifice once the opportunity arose.

Fae raised an eyebrow, carefully studying my expression from the comer of her eye. She was sharp and surprisingly observant when she finally settled down, though that rarely happened.

1 wanted to let her know that although the concern was well intended, there was nothing to worry about. “It’s okay, Fac,” I reassured her. “He can’t hurt me anymore. It doesn’t matter what he does.”

Kylian had rejected me, and I had accepted it. Now that our claim bond had been severed, I wouldn’t waste a single thought or breath over whom he chose to love. And neither would he. Kylian and his fated mate would live a happy life with their new child and heir. And it has nothing to do with me.

“But Della… There’s just one more thing. The last time I talked to you, you were hellbent on being with him. Why in the Goddess’ name did you choose to leave him now? Was it because of the accident? Did he do anything else to you?” Fae asked tentatively. There was a caution in her voice that was uncharacteristic of her, and I was taken aback

sudden question.

ook my head and smiled at her, not wanting to bother with the Situation any longer than I had to. There was no reason for others to know about Flora. If anything, it would only enrage those around me even further I wondered the lengths Father, Jackson, and Fae would go to in the name of ven Johnce on my behalf.

“Della, please. You can tell me. If you’re telling the truth and nothing actually happened, then that’s great, but

Before Pae could finish speaking, a familiar voice interrupted our

conversation.

“What do you mean I’m not allowed in?!” It was Margot, her voice filled with an indignation that I had rarely heard.

She wore a bright dress, almost gaudy, and stood fuming at the entrance to the banquet hall. With her head held high, she put both. hands on her waist and stood in front of the poor serv ant as if she were the master of the manor.

Why, the way she absconded the man, I would have thought the s ervant was in her service as well. Her high cheekbones were warped by anger, tense from screaming and a testament to her wicked nature. I was more than familiar with how terribly vile she could be.

“My sincerest apologies, Madam, but this invitation is for Alpha Kylian and his Luna. No one else is permitted entry with this letter,” the s ervant explained, standing his ground quite respectfully. His posture was perfect and his black suit vest, made of an almost glossy material, shined under the warm lights above. It glistened as he bowed slightly and handed the invitation back to her.

Practically putting her chin to the ceiling, as if a measure of her rage upon being told away by a serv ant, Margot refused to leave. Her eyes hung low as she glowered at this man, and when her sharp voice escaped her throat, it felt like sandpaper grinding against my ears. “I am Alpha Kylian’s sister! And the woman accompanying me is his fiancée! Who are you to bar us from attending?”
