Chapter 0082
“It’s alright, Missy. Don’t be too hard on yourself.” He pulls up his pants, lowering his shirt before he sits back down. “The story about her not being Luna–material worthy was a story we fed to the pack members. It is important that their Alpha remains strong in their eyes, and well, able to keep a woman, actually.”
Closing my eyes, I lower my gaze shortly before I find the courage to lift it again. “How long did it go on for, to turn out that bad?”
“Well, I gave her a lot of chances. Endured the pain because she was who was supposed to be made especially for me, right?” I blink away my tears as he flashes me a sad smile. “But… One night Finnegan found me throwing my soul up, and… We weren’t actually on good terms at that time, but he sat down next to me on the cold bath tiles and helped me through the betrayal pains like I was a baby. And afterwards helped me stand my ground and reject her. The scars, unfortunately, stayed, but I’m not hung up on her or anything like that. I just didn’t want my pack to worry, and I would love it if that stayed this way.”
“Of course,” I reassure him, biting the nail of my thumb anxiously.
“Now, I don’t want to talk about what happened in the arcade rooms, yet. I hope you can wait a bit for us to have that conversation. But I’m going to talk this situation out with you, also because there are certain facts that we should be clear about, and the pack shouldn’t know.”
I wave at him dismissively, shaking my head. “Listen, it isn’t my place to know. In the pack there is a rumour going around of you being fond of me, so they were actually hoping I would be your second–chance mate. As I’m not your mate, they were even thinking you would take me as your chosen mate, and I would leave Fynn, Matt, and Logan for you. This is certainly crazy, but there is far worse that could be happening. So, please don’t worry! I’ll simply
take it as a compliment and whenever someone asks me, I’ll say that I don’t know any details”
“Thank you. But I can still confirm that I indeed prepared the pack on ending without a Luna. And I know that they are excited about having you here, and, if I may, I already talked about the succession with my brothers and your firstbom pup can gladly take over when it’s time to.” He flashes me another sad smile as my heart breaks for
him.
“Oh my. Don’t say that too loudly when Daisy is around. She is
already trying to get me pregnant too eagerly.” I joke and finally get him to laugh.
“Well…” I say, before getting up again. “My apologies… for being an idiot… again.”
“It’s okay, Missy. You aren’t an idiot,” he tries to cheer me up, making me smile awkwardly.
“Well… If you will excuse me,” I do a little curtsy before turning around. “My Alpha.”
He chuckles, and just as I lay my hand on the door handle, I turn around. “I could make you an ointment that would help you with the scars.”
“Thank you, but it’s fine.” He shakes his head, watching me with a devastated expression. “I know that you know about the fact that those scars appear only if it happens for a long period of time. They say that it is like your wolf clawed you from the inside. So, as a reminder to myself and also as my punishment for having put him through it, I will continue to wear them. It also raises rumours in the pack and risks blowing my cover, but it’s still fine.”
“Okay,” I whisper, before leaving by flashing him a last smile and closing the door behind me.

I hope you are buckled up because things here are getting heated. =D
I got a lot of comments about Cayden, so I want to make something clear: He is not Missy’s fated mate. Just the tripplets are;)….
