“Why isn’t Prescott available here? Have you guys made a deal that only one of you will be present in the meeting from now on?” Alpha Mason asked, not appreciating our immature behavior.

“I presume that he is busy and it’s not an important meeting. It’s something that I want. to ask from you,” I stood meekly, flashing a small yet gentle smile at him.

‘Why didn’t you discuss it with me beforehand?’ My mom whined, showing her displeasure. I ignored her and watched everyone’s gaze fixated at me which made me feel slightly nervous.

I hadn’t summoned a meeting before, nor I had attended any meeting without my husband. Clearing my throat, I regained my composure and held the edge of the table tightly.

“Since the war is hovering over us, as the Alpha Queen, I need to fulfill my duty and for that, I need to move to my pack. Dylan is after me so it will help in diverting his attention. All the innocent pack members wouldn’t have to suffer,” I began explaining my plan to them and they intently heard me.

Mom opened her mouth to protest but I let my aura cause her to submit to me. After all, I was the Queen and I didn’t need her to babysit me. She was impressed with Dylan and wanted me to marry him which wasn’t going to happen. Ever.

“The Witch King will come wherever I go so I want to go to the pack from where it all began. I need to replace the answers to my questions as well which I’m pretty sure that I will replace in the ancient book that only I can open,” I added.

“You don’t have to do that. You’re the Queen who stays by her King’s side so you will do what Alpha King, Prescott, says and since he is not here, you can’t make the decision on your own,” my father was the first to react.

I hated how he belittled me in front of everyone but I wouldn’t let him disrespect me. I will take a stand for myself.

Alpha Mason spoke before I could respond, “That’s quite unfair since she is the Royal

Alpha Queen. Although I replace it dangerous, I would say that you don’t need anyone’s permission to do whatever you replace right for your kingdom.”

His soft yet firm voice and gentle smile brought tears to my eyes. I had never received such affection and support from my own father.

“Since your son’s ex is back, you’re trying to get rid of my daughter, Alpha Mason. All of

us know that if she went alone there, she would be killed by Dylan,” my Mom scoffed, getting up from her chair.

“I’m highly disappointed in you, Luna Camilla. You have such a little faith in your daughter while I look at her in respect and faith. I request you not to make this a political aspect. I adore my daughter-in-law more than my son,” Alpha Mason raised his voice, feeling offended and outraged.

Beta Caleb bowed to me. “I will accompany you there to protect you while you replace. your answers, My Queen.”

“I will send my best warriors along with you and if anything happens, I urge you to inform us as soon as possible,” Gamma Jericho stood from his chair and bowed to me.

My eyes became moist with unshed tears after receiving support from my mate’s family rather than mine who never trusted me.

“Thank you so much for showing faith in your Queen,” I nodded my head at them. “I appreciate your thoughtfulness but it’s my battle and I want to fight alone.”

“What the f uck are you up to, silly girl?” Dad growled through the link..

Being the Alpha Queen, I could mind-link to all the Alphas and the Blood Moon pack’s members as well as the Silver Claw pack’s members after unlocking my powers on the night of my twenty-first birthday.

I ignored him and looked at Mason who smiled at me, cheering me up.

“I heard that people call you the rebirth of the first Alpha Princess, Venus. It’s time that you prove that they are true. Your silver hair symbolizes power and victory, Matilda,” Alpha Mason

lifted my spirits.

‘Is this what I get after helping you out? You didn’t even bother telling me this once, huh? Your in-laws matter more to you than your own mother who gave birth to you and raised you?’ Mom blackmailed me emotionally and I hated how her words affected me.

‘You wouldn’t have agreed, Mom, I defended myself.

‘You can’t say before trying,’ she sulked.

“Fine. I accept your decision but on one condition only. My pack members and my family will leave this pathetic pack after my daughter’s divorce,” she uttered bitterly, looking at Alpha Mason.

I swear there was something more to my mother and my father-in-law. They always bantered like that and my dad frowned after seeing them fighting like kids.

“That’s a ridiculous condition,” Mason scowled, shrugging his shoulders.

“No divorce is happening here,” I shook my head. “Prescott and I need some time alone to focus on the war. Dylan isn’t an easy opponent. Besides, Prescott loves me so much that I would never leave him,” I lied and watched Caleb almost coughing.

‘I would kill you if you spilled anything in front of everyone, I threatened him, not to mention about the divorce papers I had asked him to prepare.

‘My l*ps are sealed, Luna. I love my life and if I died, I wouldn’t be able to see Serena’s beautiful face so please, spare my life, he joked, lightening up my mood.

‘Can you keep a secret from your asshole Alpha?’ I asked him.

‘Anything in exchange for putting a good word in front of Serena,’ he cheekily replied.

‘If you love her that much, then, why do you keep hurting her?’ I rolled my eyes.

Serena had told me numerous times how Caleb had ruined her dates and scared away every man who tried to get close to her. She badly wanted to choose a mate for her but Caleb was being a pain in the as s.

‘Something that my Alpha and I have in common, he shrugged.

‘Your Alpha loves his ex, not me. I want you to remember that. I told him harshly before cutting the link.

I hadn’t told Prescott yet about the pregnancy. I was scared that he might force me to abort the child since he didn’t want me anymore. My baby wouldn’t have a childhood. like me. I would raise my baby in the most loving atmosphere where he or she wouldn’t have the burden of future responsibilities on their shoulders since childhood.

Yes, I was escaping from my husband again. But this time, for my baby’s safety. I didn’t want my pup to feel unwanted by their father. I would raise them alone in my palace. My kid will inherit my throne.

“Thank you for your time, everyone,” I smiled at them and added, “Since the packs are merged, I don’t want any trouble and I don’t need protection from Beta or Ga mma. All I need is some maids and my little sister with me.”

“I won’t let Avery join you in your madness,” Dad yammered, growling at me.

“Relax, honey. She knows what she is doing.” Mom held my father’s hands and them a gentle squeeze. Dad reluctantly kept his mouth shut and left the office, followed by Mom.

“My offer still stands, Luna. I’m just one call away,” he raised his brows, demanding at yes from me.

“Are you my older brother?” I rolled my eyes at him. “Fine. I’ll remember that,” I surrendered.

“I know that it’s hard to trust me after what my sister did but I promise you that if you decide to trust me, you won’t regret it.” Jericho said softly, opposite to what he showed others.

“The rough and tough Gam ma could be such a softie for me. I’m flattered,” I batted my eyelashes, teasing him to which he sc owled and left with Beta after wishing me good luck to make arrangements for my journey.

“Hmm,” Mason was the last person to stay. “Come here?” He stretched his arms and pulled me in a fatherly hug.

“Thank you for everything, Alpha Mason.” I whispered, my voice sounding weak.

“I always wanted a strong-headed daughter like you. I’m lucky to be blessed by such a daughter-in-law,” he exaggerated, making me giggle but I knew that he meant it. “Prove all of them wrong, Matilda. I know you have got this.”

After having lunch with him in the office, I decided to depart for my journey. Mason asked me to visit Prescott but I requested him not to talk about this. He understood my cue and followed me to the ground floor to wish me goodbye.

He apologized to me on his son’s behalf but I told him not to do so. It wasn’t his fault that his son was such a jerk. Just when I was about to step outside of the apartment, a heart-wrecking pain emerged from my n*eck and reached my heart, making me scream in agony.

“You’re bleeding,” Alpha Mason mumbled in dread and my hand went to my stomach protectively.

My baby…
