“What do you mean by this, my lady?” Serena asked as she paced around the room, holding a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes narrowed in disapproval as she glanced at me, sitting quietly on the bed while sipping the tea she had brought a minute ago.

“As you can see, it’s a letter to both Kieran and Aria. I want it delivered to them right now, Serena.”

Her frown deepened at my words, and she shook her head.

“No, my lady. You shouldn’t do this. You told me to tell the Alpha you were skipping breakfast because you weren’t feeling well but now you want to see them? They betrayed you, my lady. Do you want to forgive them?” Serena asked, her eyes searching mine as though she hoped I was joking.

But I wasn’t.

I placed the cup back on the table and crossed my legs, meeting her gaze with calm indifference as I spoke in a low, steady voice.

“Serena,” I began, “since when do I have to explain my thoughts before asking for something to be done? I asked you to deliver the letters, and that is what you are going to do, without any questions. Don’t forget your place as my servant. Do you understand?”

The moment those words left my mouth, her eyes widened in surprise, and I saw a flicker of pain flash through them.

I knew I had probably gone too far, but I had no intention of apologizing or correcting myself.

I needed her to deliver those letters without delay, her arguing with me could jeopardize everything.

I held her stare coldly, and after a few seconds, I watched her lips tremble before she bit down on her bottom lip, inhaling deeply and lowering her head in a respectful bow.

“I understand, my lady. I apologize if I stepped out of line. Please forgive me. It won’t happen again,” she said softly.

I waved her off without meeting her gaze.

“Go and deliver the letters without letting anyone see you. When both Kieran and Aria arrive, bring them into my room, quietly. Then leave. Do you understand?”

I saw her hands curl into fists, but she nodded, keeping her expression composed.

“I understand, my lady. I will leave now, unless you have any other orders.”

I shook my head, and she lowered her gaze once more before quietly exiting, her back straight but rigid.

As soon as the door closed, I sighed, uncrossing my legs and flopping back onto the bed. I stared up at the ceiling, my heart pounding with guilt.

I hated how harshly I had spoken to Serena. She didn’t deserve it. But it had been the only way to ensure she did what I needed.

“I can’t believe that’s what you’re worried about right now,” Sheila’s voice echoed in my head, her tone panicked. “Are you really going to kill yourself?”

Chapter 58

I rolled my eyes, ignoring her. She had asked the same questions so many times, and I’d already given her the answers so why did she keep asking?

I stood up from the bed and went to the drawer, pulling out three items: the dagger, Aria’s scarf, and Kieran’s ring. All of these would be used to kill and to frame them both.

I lifted the dagger in my hand, my finger tracing the blade, and without hesitation, raised it, aiming for my chest.

“No!!!” Sheila screamed in terror, her cry echoing in my head as I stopped the dagger just as its sharp tip touched my skin.

A small smile stretched across my face as I tilted my head, staring at my reflection in the mirror, lost in thought. Maybe because I had died once before, I no longer feared death. What could scare a woman who had looked her creator in the eyes and been given a second chance?

But the goddess had given me that second chance to fight my wrongs and make things right and yet, I would use this opportunity to finally take my revenge. Even if it was the last thing I did, Kieran and Aria would follow me to the underworld.

All I had to do was wait for them to arrive and then everything would be over.

“Just you wait. I will take you two with me, even if it’s the last thing I do.”

“You are freaking insane!” Sheila gasped out.

“You saw a white wolf?!” Cassian blurted out in disbelief.

“And she got away? She actually outran His Majesty?!” Drake stared at me, wide–eyed.

“And you lost her?!!” Both of them shouted in unison.

I lifted my head, tearing my gaze away from the drink in my hand and narrowing my eyes at them as they stood before me.

When I didn’t respond, they exchanged glances, then looked back at me as if expecting me to suddenly say it was all a joke.

“Wow…” Cassian finally muttered after a long pause, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t even know what to call this. You finally start your search for the white wolf again, stumble right into her… only to lose her. T–this is just a cruel twist of fate.”

I took a slow sip of my drink, still silent. But the corner of my lips twitched into a small smirk.
