Abandoned By My Alpha And Pup Now Their Rival’s Luna Chapter 14
EXILEÂ
Serena is dragged away by the Werewolf Council Enforcers half a month later.
But she isn’t charged with framing Maeve or endangering Lyra. The evidence for those specific crimes is too thin to secure a heavy sentence.
So, Grayson sets a trap.
He exposes Serena’s father for embezzling massive amounts of resources from the pack’s treasury. As the Magistrate, Serena not only knew about it but forged pack documents to cover his tracks.
The evidence is bulletproof. She can’t deny it.
When the Enforcers kick down her door, Serena’s face is as white as bone.
“Grayson, I gave you years of my life, and this is how you treat me?”
As she is dragged past him, she suddenly bursts into manic laughter.
“Do you really think locking me up will bring her back? You’re dreaming! Her mother is dead. She will never forgive you for as long as she lives. Never!”
The Enforcers haul her away.
Grayson stands frozen in the courtyard. He pulls out his phone and opens his texts with Maeve.
Over the past two weeks, he has sent hundreds of messages.
From “I’m sorry” to “Leo misses you” to “I was wrong.”
Not a single reply.
She hasn’t blocked his number. She just completely ignores his existence.
He shoves the phone back into his pocket and turns toward his truck.
He has to pick Leo up from the pack school.
The instructors told him Leo has been sitting in the corner by himself lately. When they asked what was wrong, he said, “I’m waiting for my mom to come get me.”
Grayson walks out of the school gates, holding Leo’s little hand.
The setting sun stretches their shadows across the dirt path.
Leo suddenly looks up. “Dad, did Mom leave because I liked Auntie Serena more?”
Grayson’s throat tightens.
It takes him a long time to finally answer. “No. It’s me. I drove her away.”
“Then just apologize and bring her back,” Leo tugs at his hand. “When you do something wrong, you just say sorry, right? Another pup in my training group broke my toy, and when he apologized, I forgave him.”
Grayson doesn’t answer.
He wants to apologize now, but she doesn’t want to hear it anymore.
His mind drifts back to their academy days. Maeve was radiant. He pursued her relentlessly, but she always pulled away, terrified that their rank differences would end in tragedy.
Then came the night of the graduation banquet. He drank a spiked cup of wine, and when he woke up, Maeve was in his bed.
When Maeve got pregnant, the pack elders forced the mating. He thought she had trapped him, so he punished her with coldness for four years.
He lets out a bitter laugh.
He finally remembers who handed him that cup of wine. It was Serena.
Maeve had just walked into the wrong room and became Serena’s scapegoat.
He hated the wrong female. And he ruined everything.
