My attention was drawn to the knock on the door, causing me to raise my gaze from my phone as I ushered the person in.
Claudia walked inside, her face beaming with smiles.
“I didn’t call for you. Do you need anything?” I asked, wondering why she was in my room.
*I heard today is your birthday. Em sorry I found out late. Happy birthday to you, my lady. She handed me a small box.
“Thank you” I took it from her. When I opened it, a beautiful ancient hairpin questioningly. This was really difficult to get, so I wonder where she got it from
resting beautifully in the box. I raised my gaze to her
“Accept my little birthday gift, my lady” She said with a genuine and sincere smile on her face. A smile that reminded me of my mother. If I was will in the pack, my parents would’ve thrown me a surprise birthday party and bought a whole lot of presents for me. Sadly, I was stuck here with a man. A betrayed
“Thank you. I really appreciate this.” I told her with a smile on my face, and she nodded.
Silence crept into the atmosphere as I put the box away,
“Can I discuss something with you, my lady?” She asked, and I gave her a brief stare before nodding, hoping that this was not about Enzo because he was the last person I wanted to talk about.
“I’m sorry I’m meddling into your affairs, but I’m really concerned about you. She began, and I nodded because I knew she really did care about
“I think you should give the Alpha a chance. He is willing to be a good husband to you. I’ve been working with him for several years, and I’ve never seen him this determined. I’ve never seen him this desperate about something” She told me, and I scoffed. All those were pretenses, and of course! knew it
“I know it’s hard to trust him again after everything that happened, but I think you really should give him a chance.” She pleaded, and I huffed almost silently. Does she know what he did to me? How he has hurt me in the
past!
“My lady she paused, reaching for my hand and giving it a light squeeze. It was the first time Claudia was going to touch me in that manner since I moved in here. I hated to admit that she looked sincere about everything she was saying to me
“I have a daughter too, and trust me, I won’t ever lie to you..” she paused, letting go of my hand as she let out a sigh.
“You can ask me anything if you are curious. I know the answer to almost everything.” She smiled at me, and 1 bit my lip. I really wanted to confirm what Enzo told me about himself and Amber. Were they never together? Didn’t he impregnate her?

look like you really have questions to ask. You should ask me, my lady” She persuaded me,
“Amber.” I muttered and paused, holding my gaze low. What was the point of trying to know the truth when he didn’t even defend himself back then!
“There was nothing between Lady Amber and Alpha Enzo I scoffed at the lies she had just told me even though her eyes weren’t lying. How would she expect me to believe those lies? Who knows, maybe Enzo must’ve asked him to tell me that.
“I have no idea why he was doing everything he did, but he never had anything to do with lady Amber. She shook her head. Her sincerity made me want to know more. If they weren’t together, then how the fuck was she pregnant for him!
You should believe him if he tells you so, my lady. Do this for the sake of your unborn child. You need support. You need his support.” She sounded so convincing, but I didn’t think for a while about forgiving Engo even if she was saying the truth.
“Thank you for the gift madam Claudia. I want to be left alone.”
“Alright, my lady. Please call me if you need anything. She bowed slightly before leaving

Five minutes passed before a knock came on the door, and I hesitantly ushered him in.
I had left him at the restaurant earlier and didn’t
“Hey! How are you?” This voice came out nervously. He was still not mail at me even after what I did to him.
“Hmm. Is there anything!” I raised an eyebrow, and he told me that he just came to check up on me before going to his room.
“I’m fine. “Thank you.
“Have you eaten yet? What would you like to have for dinner?” He asked, and I stared at him without saying a word.
“Why did you do it. Enzo?” I asked him instead, and he raised an eyebrow, confusion settling on his face.
“I loved you with everything in me. I was willing to stick by you even though you were causing me pain. Why did you do it? What was my offense” I looked into his demandingly, and he groaned almost silently as he bit his lip. He looked stupid. So fucking stupid because he probably didn’t have a reason why he treated me that way, or maybe his excuse might be so dumb that was ashamed of admitting it.
“Acting!” I huffed before raking my hair with my fingers. It felt like I was losing my mind,
“You two were just acting? Does it make sense to you?” I huffed again.
“Lyra…” he came to sit on the bed with me, trying to touch me, but I threw him a glare that sent his hand drawing back from me,
