Chapter 18
Cara’s POV
His words hit me like a slap.
A man. Or two.
He had made his choice.
He chose Lucy.
It felt like a blade pierced through my chest–twisting, tearing me apart.
My lips trembled. “But… I’m still your Luna…”
Arthur, now dressed in his crisp black attire, looked composed again–aloof and cold.
He handed me something.
A check.
My eyes dropped.
Eight zeros.
His voice followed, calm and final.
“This is your divorce settlement. Let’s end it here.”
He placed the check on the counter and walked out.
He was going to Lucy.
Just like my mother had walked away years ago.

My eyes burned. I had tried so hard to hold onto them–but their love was never mine to
have.
They always chose Lucy.
Always.
A moment later, a voice sounded from outside.
“Alpha Arthur sent me. I’m here for the Luna,”
Jack replied, “She’s upstairs. Follow me.”
Already? My replacement… already here?
My blood ran cold.
I jumped up and rushed to the window.
Second floor.
Didn’t matter.
I climbed out and jumped.
I hit the grass hard. Agony shot up from my ankle.
But I didn’t stop. I fumbled for my phone.
“Cathy…” My voice broke the moment the call connected.
“Cara? Where the hell are you? It’s late!”
I couldn’t hold it in anymore.
The tears fell–hot, silent/endless.

Caren’t reply. She just stared at her phone’s countdown.

The man’s hand was suddenly twisted back at a sickening angle.
He screamed in pain
Arthur had arrived
His black coat carried the chill of night. His presence was like a storm.
Without a word, he flung the man across the bar. The guy slammed into the counter with a
shout
Lucy rose with a triumphant smile. She clung to Arthur’s arm.
Told you. My boyfriend always comes.”
Because between her and me–he would always choose her.
Arthur’s eyes swept the room, then landed on Lucy.
Cold. Sharp.
He pulled his arm out of her grasp. “Have you had enough?”
Lucy stiffened. “Are you scolding me? If I hadn’t acted out, you’d be sleeping with Cara right

She mutibed her cheek against his back. “I feel divery…”
Arthur pansed.
Then he turned and lifted her into his arms.
She curled against his chest, victorious.
Half an hour later.
Arthur carried Lucy into the West Garden villa–a sleek, monochrome mansion he used
alone.
It wasn’t the house we had shared.
Inside, he placed her on the bed and turned to leave.
Lucy clung to his neck.

“Still mad?”
He pried her fingers off.
She tilted her face up to him, whispering,
“Alpha~”
