Chapter 345
Aurora
I closed my eyes, taking Piperโs hands. โI will do my best.โ
Piper took my hand, touched her head, then kissed it. โThank you, Lunaโฆ what would we do without you?โ
I sighed as Piper left me and went to Warrick. She whispered to him from behind, and he turned to me. โThank you, Lunaโฆ If you can save me from this, I will worship at your feet every day.โ
I furrowed my brows, suppressing a laugh. โYou have to worship the moon goddess, not her servant like me.โ
Warrick nodded. โAuroraโฆ Thank you so much.โ He turned to Piper, and they smiled at each other before hugging in front of me.
โThis problem will soon be fixed, youโll see. Now that Aurora is involved, she will fix it all,โ Piper said, and Warrick laughed.
โOhโฆ thank goodness,โ Piper turned to me. โWe better leave you to come up with a plan nowโฆ if you need our help, just call us, okay?โ
I parted my lips to speak, but before I could say anything, they both left joyfully.
Chapter 345
My heart throbbed as I saw their joy. I felt good that they were finally happy, but the fact that theyโd placed so much responsibility and trust on me didnโt sit well.
What if I failed them? Their love life and future depended on what I did from now on.
I got up and paced the room, rubbing my forehead as I tried to think. I realized I needed to revisit the source of thisโthe pictures.
I picked up my phone and dialed Evanderโs number.
โHello? Are you back with the kids? Alright, good, come to my office now, please.โ
I ended the call, dropping the phone as I stroked the bridge of my nose.
Piper and Warrick had asked me to call if I needed help, but I couldnโt involve them in what I was doing. Alina would expect them to act, so she would keep an eye on them. I couldnโt let her get a glimpse of my plans.
Evander was the right person to help. According to Alina, Evander loved Piper and would even be glad if Warrick left her, so I was sure she wouldnโt suspect him.
Chapter 345
Milesโฆ he would be useful too.
I smiled, leaning on the table. โThings are slowly getting setโฆ I will make sure to expose Alina in three nightsโ time.โ
Suddenly, a knock sounded on my door. โCome in,โ I said.
The door opened, and Alina walked in, heavily pregnant. I stared, frozen.
I was sure she knew my intentions, but I couldnโt let her suspect anything. I had to play along, feigning pity.
โOh,โ I said, forcing a smile as I quickly grabbed a chair and pulled it closer. โAlina, you didnโt have to come all this way. You could have sent someone.โ
I held her arm and helped her sit. โPlease tell me why youโve come?โ
Alina smiled brightly. โIโm glad youโve accepted me back into the pack, Luna.โ
โWho told you I accepted you?โ I asked, narrowing my gaze.
โHuh,โ she said, looking down, dejectedly. I was sure much was going on in her mind.
Chapter 345
โI mean, I donโt just acceptโฆ we will throw a welcome party for you, Alina.โ
Her jaw dropped. โReally?โ
I nodded. โYouโve been gone so long, only because of some childish mistakesโฆ I know youโve changed, and now that the pack is peaceful, Iโm throwing a party for all pack members whoโve turned over a new leaf. You, Rowan, Miles, Lila, and the rest.โ
โWowโฆ thatโs great, Luna.โ
I nodded. โJust a small get-together to strengthen the packโs bond and revive its unity.โ
โNiceโฆโ Alina nodded like a lizard.
I smiled as she stared into space. I was sure she had no idea I was onto her.
โNow, tell me why you came, Alina.โ
โI came to tell you about this,โ she rubbed her tummy. I sighed. The poor child doesnโt know the kind of mother he was coming to meet.
โWhat about it?โ
โWarrick is actually the fatherโฆ Iโm not lying, Luna.โ
Chapter 345
I nodded, touching her shoulder. โDonโt worryโฆ I know men love to escape responsibilities, but Iโll make sure Warrick does the right thing, okay?โ
Alina nodded. โThanks, Lunaโฆโ
I smiled. The door opened, and I saw Evander enter. He glanced at Alina as he passed. โGood day, Alina.โ
Alina smiled at him. โGood day, Sir.โ She turned to me. โIโll take my leave now, Lunaโฆ I think you have some business to do.โ
I nodded. She got up and left. Evander sat down, and I took my seat behind the desk.
โWhat have you called me for, Aurora?โ Evander said, stretching his legs. โI was napping; the kids made me walk all over the pack today, my legs are killing me.โ
I slid a set of files to him. โTake a look at these, tell me what you think.โ
Evander raised an eyebrow but obliged, checking the property papers. โGoodโฆ theyโre all done nicelyโฆ butโฆโ
I raised a finger, cutting him off. I knew he was going to question why Iโd given him these papers.
But I turned my phone to him, and his lips formed an โOh,โ as he saw Alina outside eavesdropping on our conversation via the CCTV camera connected to my phone.
Chapter 345
โSo now check the papersโฆ I donโt want any mistakes at all,โ I said, winking at Evander. He smirked.
โRightโฆ Iโll be done in a minuteโฆโ Evander said.
