Carena:I gulped hard, rubbing my eyes in disbelief. My ears were practically buzzing. There's just no way he could whistle when he couldn't even let out a sigh too loud.He stood there shirtless, clad only in black pants. His hair was damp as if he'd just stepped out of the shower, and his abs gleamed as if he'd slicked them with oil, though it must have been water.In one hand, he held a spatula, likely whipping up pancakes. My mind slowly grasped the reality of what I was witnessing. It was truly him, not some figment of my imagination or, should I say, a nightmare.But how?He busted out some little dance moves as he continued to revel in his moment. The tattoo on his back looked even more enchanting against the backdrop of his muscular physique.After blinking repeatedly to confirm that it was indeed him, I found myself at a loss. Should I confront him?No!We were completely alone here, and the way he had everyone fooled made me wonder if confronting him in this moment would be

Carena: "What the fuck are you doing? Get off me!" I finally managed to free my mouth, pushing him away and rising from the couch, only to find myself standing alone like a fool with Sawyer still in bed.I was breathing like a bull and sweating too. But tears were what blurred my vision for a moment. "Oh, darn it!" I covered my mouth with my hand and took deep breaths. The nightmare had rattled me so much that my screams woke Sawyer."I'm sorry, it was just a nightmare," I apologised to him, but facing him after the fright was too much, so I dashed into the bathroom to splash water on my face. What a dreadful way to start the day. This wasn't just something I had out of the blue. It rooted from a deep memory of mine but I shook it off the minute i was in the bathroom.After shaking off the trauma of the nightmare and dressing in a black dress, I welcomed Ginny into the room. No wonder Sawyer used the restroom so infrequently; he must have been attending to his business while I slept.

Carena:The saddest part was that my father and sister left without even being offered any food. I wasn't allowed to walk after them. Lord Rennick had told me to help Sawyer in bed for a nap. I stayed in the dark room with him while he slept peacefully. I'm not even sure if he bought my lie of dreaming about him dancing in the kitchen. He must be too gullible to believe I had such a vivid dream about the antics that he was, in fact, engaging in during our honeymoon. After he woke up, Ginny had to dress him up while I got ready, wearing a knee-length red dress.I didn't insist on taking care of his personal hygiene anymore. I mean, why would I help a guy change into a suit when he can very well do it himself? I scoffed at the idea of it.Tonight, Lord Rennick specifically warned Ginny to stay in the car and not follow us all the way to the beach. She would stick around the car and wait for my call if Sawyer needed any help.Now it was just Sawyer and I reaching the destination."The we

Carena:Ever since Lord Rennick mentioned he'd been invited by Alpha King Jack to his pack, I'd been restless. Lord Rennick mentioned he was considering the treaty.I sat in the room on the couch while Ginny read a book to Sawyer. My phone rested in my hand, dividing my attention between two issues. Firstly, it struck me as odd that the video was no longer on my phone. It seemed as though the video had been removed, leaving me with the complexity of the situation with Jack."Gosh!" I sighed, rubbing my face in my hands as memories of my previous marriage flooded my mind. The torture, the hatred, all my sacrifices, and then the ultimate betrayal. The fact that I struggled to conceive and he discarded the baby as if it wasn't my decision was just brutal.I also knew for a fact that my current in-laws were aware I had been married before, but they never delved into who I was married to. My father told them it was someone from another pack, and they didn't bother to inquire further. It ma

Carena: "Ouch!" I groaned as my sister helped me lie down again. It’s been a week since I got into an accident and was taken to the hospital. I had some pretty bad injuries and a concussion. However, that didn't prompt any of the royals to come to see me. It was so saddening that not a single one of them visited. I saved their alpha king's life, and in return, they told my father to take me home until I heal. The inability to belong anywhere really hurt my soul, which is why the healing process slowed down."You're fine now. The hardest stage has passed," Maanya said, standing beside my bed."Can I ask you something? I mean, I know it might be a tough question to ask, but I'm curious," she was rubbing her palms, and I could tell her question was going to be sensitive."Ask me anything," I said, clearing my throat with a little cough. At this point, I just wanted to speak to someone. Anything! Anyone!"What do you do that makes these people not like you? I mean, first Alpha King Jack
