Chapter 210

Lucian’s gaze fell on me. I maintained a calm expression, my brows furrowed slightly.

My wolf sensed his unease; was he truly open with Ayla, or did she simply not mind my presence?

“Are you done talking? Seren and I are going to have dinner!”

Calista cut in, clearly disliking Lucian’s presence.

Liam and Lucian rose and left.

At the dining table, Calista said to me, “Seren, the 26th is a weekend. Do you want to accompany Grandma to relax?”

She knew I’d suffered because of Ayla and still worried about me.

“Grandma, I have some work I need to take care of, so I can’t accompany you.”

I used work as an excuse. My wolf felt a pang of guilt for deceiving Calista

“Work is important. You stay home and focus, while I go to the temple to pray. You don’t need to come!”

“Okay.”

I agreed softly, knowing she was worried.

But how could I not be there? My wolf was determined to witness Lucian’s humiliation.

Mooncrest Manor

“Lucian, we finally waited for this day.

I can finally be with you openly and honestly.” Ayla’s voice was choked with happy tears.

Lucian watched her, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes.

He’d longed for this moment, achieving his long-held desire.

He’d fulfilled his promise to Selene, giving her a home, a stable family life.

He’d cherish her, love her.

But why was he devoid of joy? His wolf was confused; this should be a moment of triumph.

“Dad, in the future, when someone asks Willow who her dad is, can Willow shout, ‘My dad’s name is Lucian’?” Willow asked happily, throwing her arms around him.

“Um.” Lucian’s heart was heavy with conflicting emotions.
