Carena: I squared up and gazed at her. The moment our eyes met and silence enveloped us, it was eerie. I sensed that once the voices resumed, taunts and accusations would fly.Since she was Luna Queen and I was a mere maid, I knew which way the accusations would lean. "That's--," she spat out quietly, taking deep, heavy breaths. Lady Jane exchanged a glance with Lord Rennick, both as puzzled as her, wondering why the Luna Queen was glaring at me like that.They likely put it down to Tabitha being upset because I hadn't apologized yet. "Carena! Apologize," Lady Jane urged. I turned to her, catching Jack's gaze. He wore a strange satisfaction as he observed me in this state.He rose from his seat and hurried over to Tabitha. My younger siblings had their mouths agape but avoided making eye contact with me, probably not wanting anyone to know I was their elder sister. "Carena!" Lord Rennick shouted, but I closed my eyes and turned away. They could threaten me, but I wouldn't apologize.

Carena:A chill raced down my spine as those powerful hands propped me up, preventing me from keeling over. It was clear that without his support, I'd have hit the ground.Behind me, a silent audience observed, while I stood on the brink of tears. Though I sensed someone's presence, my mind had ceased to function in that moment.The sight of their gaping mouths jolted me back to reality. His scent and touch brought both comfort and a shiver down my spine. It couldn't possibly be him.Then he spoke, sending chills through my body. "Hello," he said, his tone oddly commanding compared to the whispers I was accustomed to hearing in my ear."Alpha King Sawyer Wolf! We thought you were tied up with pack matters," Jack blurted out, revealing that they'd kept his condition hidden from other packs for safety reasons. Imagine if the Alpha King couldn't defend the pack; rivals would pounce on the opportunity. But such concerns felt distant in that moment.My breath caught as he held me firmly fr

Carena:"I understand," Ashley cleared her throat and gave me a little head bow."I know you wouldn't support someone mistreating your mate. I just wanted to come here and explain that nobody mentioned her as your mate. I know it's still wrong to mistreat someone, but----" she paused as she gathered herself again, "give them a chance to apologize."Sawyer was silently staring at her, making me wonder what he might be thinking. Was he watching her and admiring how beautiful her lips were?"Then it's her they should be apologizing to," Sawyer said, his voice steady.But the fact that he was talking to her without anger and everyone sent her out to have a word explained how much importance she held in his life. And how everyone knew he would never lash out at her."Oh!" Ashley nodded, looking so lost. "Then please stay here and let me go talk to them," she instructed him before turning around to leave. However, she stopped mid-step to glance back and smile at him, "it was nice seeing you

Carena:Sawyer had left to deal with pack matters and see for himself what had been happening behind his back all this time. As for me, I couldn't believe what just happened.My sex life used to be pretty boring with Jack. We were vanilla, even cock sucking was done in a very boring way. Jack wasn't that interesting in bed either. But because I wanted to be a upright and good Luna of my alpha king, I never brought up those things. I never told him that I was having issues to orgasm at some times. He would finish before me. I would have to run to the bathroom and do myself a favor.But I kept all those things to myself. I could have shamed him, but I didn't. It made me wonder what other interests Sawyer has.However, Sawyer returned home tired that night and went straight to bed. I woke up before him and got dressed to prepare breakfast. But when I was in the kitchen, I noticed the maids were keeping their distance from me. It wasn't like that before."You know what people call people

Carena:He looked so happy with her. The stern expression he usually wore wasn't present now. His arm was wrapped around her, and she was throwing a peace sign. They sat in a car with gifts piled in the backseat. He must have picked her up for a date.I stood there holding the picture, taking in every detail. Could it be that I have ruined their chances to be together? the way they interacted back in the Red Raven Pack to each other's existence seemed like two people who were fated to be together. Could she be his fated mate?"Tomorrow at 10 am--" Sawyer strode into the room, snapping his fingers to get my attention. He snatched the picture from my hand with determination."Don't dwell on the past," he said casually, tearing the picture in half and then once more before tossing it in the trash. The way he did it made me wonder if he didn't care anymore."Am I causing problems between you two?" I asked again. I couldn't shake the feeling that if he hadn't felt obligated to marry me, wo
