James’s POV:

When I left the backyard, my steps felt unsteady, and my heart was pounding.

Evelyn’s words were like a rusty saw, cutting back and forth through my heart.

For a second, I I even felt the urge to bolt out of the house, run to the Silverpeak Pack, and fall on my knees in front of Cindy. I wanted to ask, “Cindy, is it really over? If I change, if I spend the rest of my life making it up to you, can we go back to how things were?”

“Don’t be stupid, James.”

Kenzi let out an exhausted sigh inside me. “It’s over. She’s Prince Adam’s fiancée now. She’s the future Princess Consort. And you’re about to marry the widow from Blackstone Pack. What’s between you isn’t just a misunderstanding, it’s blood, hatred, and a gap in status. Don’t go embarrass yourself.”

Kenzi’s words were like cold water, killing the last bit of my foolish hope.

I went back to my study and collapsed into the chair.

When I closed my eyes, all I could see was the day I married Cindy.

“That money is to pay off our debts! It’s not for you to waste!” I snapped, barely holding back my anger. “And who told you to call the future Luna like that? Widow? That’s Madam Carrie!”

“Tch, she is secondhand goods.” Hannah rolled her eyes, full of contempt. “James, you’re so pathetic, acting like marrying a widow is a big deal. I’m different. I have bigger plans.”

She lifted her chin, her face glowing with almost obsessive pride. “I’m going to dress up beautifully because … I’m going to marry Prince Noah!”

I froze. For a second, I thought I’d heard her wrong.

“What did you say?”

spun around “I said I’m going to marry Prince Noah! I’ll be the future queen!” Hannah excitedly. “Ms. Lily told me everything. Prince Adam, that idiot, gave up the throne for Cindy, so Prince Noah is definitely the next king. If I can get with him, I’ll be the queen!”
