Chapter 39 

“Luna! Alpha has returned!” a maid shouted excitedly as she ran inside. 

“What’s all the fuss? Where is your manner?” Mary came down the stairs and scolded the girl. 

The maid lowered her head, dare not say another word. 

I always had a hint of fear when I faced Mary, and I wasn’t sure why. 

Perhaps it’s because she had taken care of Enzo growing up, and I should respect her. 

Or maybe it’s because she really resembled Ellen and reminded me of my miserable past. 

Whichever it was, I didn’t dare speak up in her presence. 

I took a deep breath, then said, “I’ll go out and have a look, then.” “Wait!” Mary called out from behind me. 

“Is there something you need?” I turned around and asked. 

Mary raised her eyebrows, her wrinkled eyelids wide open. With a smug look, she said, “You 

should be well aware of your position after this battle, Miss Gilmore.” 

“The one who can truly stand by Alpha’s side, helping him handle pack affairs and facing powerful enemies… that’s my daughter, Cindy, and not you. You are nothing but a coward who always hides behind Alpha’s back.”
