“Ayla, don’t disappoint me.”

Her uncle’s words hung in the air.

She needed to be careful.”Uncle, I will definitely not let you down.”

Ayla responded with unwavering confidence, her voice dripping with practiced sweetness.

My wolf bristled; her saccharine tone grated on my nerves.

Calista didn’t like Ayla, but Lucian was blind to her flaws, so she chose to remain silent.

My wolf sensed a simmering tension, a predator sizing up its prey.

“Lucian, I don’t care who you are going to choose as your mate. Today, while you are all here, I also have something to announce officially

The words hung heavy with unspoken meaning.

“The 28th was a good day,” she declared, and she would host an engagement party for Seren at Wellington House.

In the future, I would become Calista’s granddaughter and the fifth daughter of the Silvermane family.

The announcement felt like a betrayal, a silencing of my own identity.

Regarding the matter of treating me like her granddaughter, Calista had mentioned it before the night I went on a date with Ragnar.

But it wasn’t formally discussed.

Deep down, she still favored her grandson, Lucian.

She still hoped that I could be with him.

She recognized my place in the family, yet she hesitated, delaying the inevitable.

She merely wanted to wait a little longer.

But today, Lucian had brought Ayla back to the Silvermane Mansion, indicating his intention to choose her as his mate.

My heart clenched.

He had made his decision.

She wouldn’t let me be oppressed by Ayla anymore.

My wolf snarled, her protective instincts flaring.

Liam clearly disagreed.

But before he could speak, Calista declared, “I had already made up my mind.”

A final, decisive blow. I wanted to speak, to protest, but Calista held my hand firmly.

Lucian’s bottomless gaze swept over me.

Seeing my lack of defiance, his eyes noticeably grew colder.

My wolf recoiled, sensing the icy shift in his emotions.

The news of my adoption brought joy to everyone present, but Ayla was the happiest, apart from Calista.

Aurora was gone; as long as I became Lucian’s sister, even if we are not related, I would never have a chance with him, the thought hitting me like a physical blow.

Ayla and Lucian shared their first meal together at the Silvermane Mansion after officially becoming a couple.

Her excitement was palpable, an almost unbearable display of triumph.

Thinking about her future as Lucian’s fiancée, soon to be his mate, a chilling dread settled over me. My wolf bared her teeth.

Calista didn’t like Ayla, so she didn’t stay for dinner and took me back to my yard.

Ayla didn’t mind.

She probably reveled in it.

My wolf simmered, a fierce protectiveness for Calista bubbling beneath the surface.

I accompanied Calista for dinner and did not stay overnight.

She arranged a car to take me home.

Avoiding the main hall, I overheard Lucian’s voice.

“I plan to give Willow a family tree.”

Upon hearing those words, my hands clenched.
