Della’s POV
I’m not my Alpha’s fated mate. He met her a year after he chose me to be his mate
and Luna, but I am still stuck in our marriage now three years after that.
Until today, I began to doubt my choice when my mother-in-law, the lauded Luna
Natasha ordered,
“Della, you will take the blame for Flora. This is an order.” She gazed upon me
disdainfully. Her eyes swept over my body as she furrowed her brow.
“You are the one responsible for the car accident, not Flora. Do I make myself
clear?”
I stood limply at the entrance to a hospital ward, bracing myself against the
doorframe and practically hanging on for dear life. I had become so weak after the
accident that even the strength of both my arms wasn’t enough to keep me from
swaying.
And yet, even with my health in such dire straits, I found Luna Natasha’s voice so
deadly.
“Luna…” I stammered, my voice barely above a hoarse whisper. “What are you
talking about? I… I can’t do this… Why me? I can’t!”
Luna Natasha scowled at my meek protests. “Don’t bother trying to ask why! Don’t
you know that? If his fated mate is imprisoned or executed, Kylian will become
weak and I will never allow this to happen! Or you dare disobey me? The gall…”
“What? No! Of course not! I wouldn’t dare to disobey your orders, and I have
always respected you as my Luna. But… I wasn’t responsible for this. I can’t just
take the fall.”
