Becoming a Wolf Queen - Chapter 8
I lied to him, “Construction agreement.”
Moon Shadow Pack’s internal affairs had always been managed by me.
Whenever something needed to be signed by Rook, I would lighten his burden by solving the issue first and get someone to bring him the contract after.
Rook had gotten used to signing documents from me. He had no idea that this was a contract to break the engagement.
It would all end today. I gathered the pack elders of Moon Shadow Pack to the Holy Site.
The Moon Goddess’ statue smiled as always. An elder was curious.
“Why isn’t Rook here, Rhea?”
“He’s busy with Sera. He can’t make it.” I raised the document in my hand.
“But he has signed the contract to break the engagement.”
“But, Rhea, can’t you reconsider this? We all know how much you love Rook. You might still have a chance at reconciling…”
“No. We’ve talked about it.”
The elders checked the contract and verified it. Rook and I were no longer related under the witness of the Moon Goddess.
It was a burden off my shoulders.
Moon Shadow Pack was now no longer my responsibility. I would take Ari back to Heavenly Wolf Pack and start life anew.
When I returned home, a servant came running in with Ari in her arms.
“Bad news, Your Highness. Young Master Ari got hurt!”
I asked sternly. “What happened?”
While I was at the Holy Site, Sera brought Anna horseback riding in the grassy fields by the lake. Ari stood enviously by the side to watch.
No one expected the horse to suddenly lose control. It galloped toward Ari and stepped on his head.
Ari lost consciousness from the accident. Anna fell off the horse and sprained her leg.
The family doctor informed us that Ari was bleeding internally and needed surgery right away. I was panicking.
I hurried Ari to the hospital, but the nurse told me that Anna was hurt, and Rook called away all the doctors to treat her.
My hands and feet turned cold. I pushed open the meeting door forcefully.
“Ari is bleeding internally in the brain, Rook. I need a surgeon to operate on him.”
Rook looked coldly at me. “Watch your manners, Rhea! Anna is the one who got hurt while out riding a horse. Ari is doing fine. Nothing is wrong with him.”
I kept shaking my head. I was too exhausted to argue. I begged him, “That’s not true.
Ari is hurt. Just see it for yourself…”
Ari is hurt. Just see it for yourself…”
“That’s enough! I hate schemers like you. If you really can’t bear to leave me, just accept Sera and Anna. Stop giving them trouble! Get out and stop mentioning Ari!”
That was when I remembered that Rook did not acknowledge Ari as his son. Why would he care if Ari was hurt? I was overwhelmed with despair. Wait, no.
There was still something I could do. I made a call as I watched Ari at the brink of death.
“Hello, I need a helicopter.”
A helicopter arrived at the hospital very soon. I carried Ari in my arms and returned to Heavenly Wolf Pack.
