the Luna of Ashclaw, Alexander's wife, the mother of the Ashclaw heir! | was the fucking wife of the Alpha King,

power. “And you will not speak tolike that.”
The Beta’s mouth dropped open, but | didn’t stay to hear his response. | shoved past him with a huff, just as |
had to Gabriel so many times in the past, and began storming toward Alexander's office.
But | didn’t make it out of the parlor.
Because the Beta grabbedby the hair and yankedback so hard that my neck cracked and | fell to the
floor, gasping in pain.
“Who do you think you are, lady?” he snarled, looming overnow. “You're just a rogue. You don’t ever get to
speak to a Beta like that, do you understand?”
My eyes widened as | realized what | had just done. Without meaning to, | had attempted to use my Luna Voice
and my old status to get what | wanted. Only | wasn’t Luna Ella anymore. | was Stella. A random rogue with no

This was likely the part where he grabbedby my ear and threwout on my ass, never to see my son

But this close, | could also see the exhaustion etched into every line on his face now. His eyes were ringed with
dark circles, his cheeks looked gaunt as if he'd lost weight just this week, and his hair, which was normally
perfectly-styled, was slightly mussed. His suit was wrinkled, too, and his tie was done

Another day? It could be too late by then; Alexander could choose any of the other beautiful women for the
