Chapter 130
The dismissal hurts as usual, but it was nothing compared to what I’d just learned. ‘Okay, Mommy. I’ll be quiet.”
She turned to leave, then paused and looked back at me. “Riley? You’ve been a good boy today. I’m proud of you.”
The words should have made me happy, but instead they made me feel sick to the stomach as I swallowed hard to stop myself from vomiting in front of her. How could she say she was proud of me when she was planning to kill me?
After she left, I sat on my bed and tried to think about everything now. I knew the truth now, but I couldn’t tell anyone because of
the necklace.
Every time I tried to say something bad about Mommy, the words would change in my mouth.
But maybe there was another way.
I thought about Alpha Xenois in the hospital. He’d been so sad about Lumina and Ollie leaving. He didn’t know they were my real family either. Did he know that I was his son? But he didn’t tell me anything. Maybe he denied it because he thought Sophia was my real
mum and he hates me because I made his real family leave.
He didn’t know that Mommy had been using magic to trick him for years.
I looked down at my necklace again. Mommy had said that the magic made everyone see her as my mother.
But what if the necklace wasn’t there anymore? What if someone took it off?
I tried to pull it over my head, but my hands wouldn’t cooperate. It was like they were frozen whenever I tried to remove it. The
magic wouldn’t let me take it off myself.
But maybe someone else could do it. Maybe if I could get close enough to Alpha Xenois, I could find a way to make him understand
without actually saying the words but how was i going to do it? He was in the hospital and I wasn’t allowed to go there. Unless he came
back to the house but would he? It’s been days since he left and he hasn’t returned.
I thought about my real mommy Lumina and my twin brother Ollie. They were in danger because of Mommy’s lies. They were going
to die because of what she’d done to our family.
evil.
I thought about myself, about the little boy who’d spent his whole life trying to make his mommy happy, not knowing that she was
I accepted what might happen to me. Even though I’d found out the truth, I still felt like I owed Mommy something. She’d taken care of me, even if it was all part of her plan.
She had raised me since I was a baby, fed me and gave me a place to live. If she decided to hurt me because I got in her way, maybe that was just the price I had to pay for ruining Alpha Xenois’s real family.

Chapter 130
But I couldn’t let her hurt my real mommy and brother. I couldn’t let her keep lying to Daddy Xenois.
I had to find a way to help them, even if it meant I got in trouble. Even if it meant Mommy would be angry with me. Even if it mean!
I might not survive whatever she had planned.
I was just a little kid, but I was the only one who knew the truth. I was the only one who could save my real family.
1 just had to figure out how to do it without the necklace stopping me.
