I Am His Luna by Fanny Brook

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The night’s drama ended with Ellen and Melissa getting locked up. Ellen’s image as a virtuous wife and mother, and a kind Luna, was shattered overnight, while Melissa turned from a naive, beautiful princess to a tainted murderer.

Michael had never expressed his opinion at home, and I always had the impression he was even afraid of his wife. But when it came to the interest of the Pack, he would still make the most beneficial decision. This was perhaps the cruel responsibility of being a Pack’s Alpha. I pushed open the door of the confinement cell where Melissa sat in the corner. Her hair was disheveled, and her arms were crossed. The delicate makeup on her face was all smudged, and she was wearing a prison uniform.

She looked up slowly when she heard the door open and met my eyes. She seems sane now. “Are you here to gloat?” she asked.

I frowned at her.

She stood up and tried to approach me, but the chains on her ankles limited her range of motion.

“Why else would you be here? To show off? To provoke me? To gloat about your victory?” Melissa screamed, glaring at me. I narrowed my eyes slightly. After considering a few moments, I sighed. “You don’t seem afraid that I’m a ghost here to claim your life now.” Melissa froze momentarily before throwing her head back and laughing maniacally. “Melissa,” I called out. She stopped laughing. Tears slid down her cheeks.

“I… always thought of you as my best friend-,” I started and looked at her. “Who wants to be friends with you? Who do you think you are? I’m the Alpha’s daughter, and you’re just a slave! No one would be friends with a slave!” Melissa interrupted me and screamed.

“Yeah, I know.” I nodded, looking at her calmly. “Since you know, why else are you here? What do you want to prove? Your benevolence? Your kindness? What a joke!”

I was silent for a while. Then, I looked at her directly and asked something that had kept me wondering.

“You’ve never considered me a friend all this while, have you? Not even for a second?” Her eyelashes trembled, and she gave me a confused look. After a moment, she sneered. “Andrea, you’re unbelievably naive! I’ve already told you that
