“I’m not threatened,” I snapped. “But how dare you come back into his life after betraying him? You slept with someone. else, Vlanche. You hurt him, and now you have the audacity to show up here, trying to take my place?”
She laughed, a sound that grated on my nerves. “Oh, no, girl. I’m not the shameless one here. He’s the one who offered to help me,” she said with a dramatic sigh. “Does that sting a little?”
I clenched my fists, struggling to contain my anger. “You‘ re unbelievable. Your nerve is as thick as your face. I might just be his Luna, but that doesn’t mean I‘ 11 let you hurt him–or anyone else–again!”

I stood frozen, disbelief washing over me as I watched Vlanche cling to him, her crocodile tears falling freely.

“I’m sorry?” I gasped. “I was only

trying to warn you, Lucian.”
“If you‘ re sorry then help her and make her feel welcome rather than hurting her. That’s not what you are, Freya. You have to respect my decision.”
And I can’t do anything but watch how she leaned her head on her chest, crying like I did something terrible on her, and I just watched and swallowed everything. I can’t let them stress me out while I’m pregnant and I just don’t know what went

“It’s hard for me to stay here any longer.
