Unfortunately, the injuries were too fatal by the time I came back. Not even the pack doctors were able to help me. I could only lay on the bed weakly as the pack doctors tried their best to heal me as best as they could, but to no avail.
As the days passed by, I was getting weaker and weaker. People at the castle thought that my weak condition would bring the Alpha back to me. Sadly, they had no idea of how wrong they were.
They were left horrified to see what my estranged husband said instead before he left to comfort his mistress.
Oliver arrogantly announced, “It must be one of her tricks! It’ll be better if she dies! That way, I can freely marry my Meredith! Summon that damn Moon Priestess so that I could marry my Meredith as soon as that weak woman died.”
I was left broken and humiliated by his last words to me.
Realizing that my husband wouldn’t even be with me in my final moments was a truly heartbreaking moment for me.
A voice then said sadly as they held my hand, “Luna, I’m so sorry about this.”
If only that was my husband’s voice. But it wasn’t. Instead, the voice belonged to Edward Plummer who was the Beta of the Scarlet Star Pack. This man was one of the most honorable men I had ever seen in this pack.
I could recall that he tried to talk to the Alpha to choose me over the Alpha’s mistress because I was the Luna. But he was immediately rebuked by my husband by using the Alpha voice. Even if he was restricted by my husband’s Alpha voice, he still tried to fight it albeit losing into submission.
Beta Edward’s voice then woke me up from my train of thoughts as he asked me gently, “Should I tell the messenger to tell the Alpha to come here, Luna?”
I responded to his question by shaking my head weakly as I replied, “You already know the answer, Beta.”
The Beta just turned his head down in shame, knowing the answer as well. I could see him gritting his teeth in frustration because I knew how hard he tried to bring my husband back to his conscience.
Yet, he failed because the Alpha was already fixated on his mistress.
“No need to feel bad, I can contact him through mind-link,” I told him in a reassuring manner.
As I expected, my husband refused my mind-link when I contacted him through the mind-link several times. Yet, something shocking happened. Just when I was about to give up talking through the mind-link, the Alpha answered.
