| had wanted Axel there with me, and it was strange that I'd seek comfort from a man | had only met, just to face
my own mother. | walked into her room, and she shut the door.
| gasped. The room was beautiful. It was almost as wide as our own room.
“Beautiful, isn't it?” She asked, pouring a glass of juice into two glass cups. She passedone.
“Thank you, and yes, this is a lovely space.”
“You know what | hear? This was one of the previous Luna’s rooms. And my pay is way more than a person even
in my position should earn.”
“I am happy to see you are being treated well.” | said genuinely.
My mother scoffed. “I think it’s weird, all the things he does... Alpha Thane would never do anything if he wasn't
getting something in return.”
“So what are you trying to say, mother? You are the mother to the Luna of this pack; how is this questionable?”
“I know you more than you think, daughter. He wouldn't have taken you if he didn’t have something to get in
exchange.”
“Because | am weak? Because | am an omega?” | said, and my eyes blurred.
“This is the reality you seem to ignore; Alpha’s like him; they cannot pick she-wolves like
you,
and that’s the truth; there are more capable she-wolves. | am only trying to protect you; do you think everyone
would settle for this change?, that they would accept a weak wolf as their Luna?, it is a taint to the whole pack.”
“Why can’t you just be content with what you have, mother? He gave you everything; you look healthy, yet you
prefer captivity over all these?”
“I know something for sure, and that is ‘not all glitter is gold‘. You might have heard this a whole lot of times too,
but you will have to think on it, now more than ever. Do you think | care about these material things-the money?,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe food?, the beautiful house? How will | be at rest knowing you are in danger?”
“You didn’t seem to care at the Joining Ritual,”
“How do you expectto watch my daughter being stripped naked and raped...”
“He is my mate! And he takes good care of me.”
“Really?”
“Yes, even more than you do. You've changed a lot since we chere, and | only wish | could have
my mother back, the one that smiled, the one that was always proud of me. More than ever, | need you now, yet
you seem so distant, like a complete stranger.”

| said it all out, all | had been feeling.
“I can’t help you, Riley; in this, you have to help yourself and take my advice. You are a smart girl; he is
dangerous, and you know it.”
“Is there something more to this that | don’t know about?” | asked, and | watched her. There was the slight pain
in her eyes, but it disappeared so fast that | doubted what | saw.

“If you need more evidence to believe that he is no good for you, then maybe you aren’t as smart as | thought
you were,” she said.
The disappointment must have been clear on my face; she had been the strongest woman | know, the only
family | had, and | was losing her in just a few weeks of arriving here.
I'd had enough.
“I can’t imagine you never askedhow | fared or what had been going on with me. You are just so selfish; | did
everything for you, and this” | paused. | wouldn't cry any more. | wiped off my tears. Maybe | wasn’t the true
Luna, but | was seen as one; it was t| began acting as one too. “If you will argue withevery t| come
here, then maybe | should stay away.”
With that, | walked away, Holding on to my last strength. Axel was nowhere to be found; he had toldto wait,
but I couldn't. I walked forward, tracing my way back, and then I realized | had gone the wrong route: | tried
retracing my steps, but | only succeeded in making things
worse.
Well, | was so doomed.
Maybe | should have accepted the tour Axel offered.

It was Beatrix.
Of course, | had never heard her speak. The last t| saw her, | had been a good distance away, preventing me
from hearing all she had said to Thane.
“May | help you?” | asked, trying to shove the roughness from my voice; maybe | could pretend like | didn’t know
her.
