Chapter 293 Chapter 293 KASMINE.
I paced the living room frantically like a prisoner waiting for a verdict I already knew would break me.
Everywhere I turned, those damned pictures stared back at me-me, smiling like life was perfect.
I hated them.
I hated how those frozen moments of joy mocked my current misery! How could I be so happy in there while, in reality, I was just seconds away from flinging myself off the earth into a different plif that would givepeace? June had stormed out after I finally gave her a piece of my mind. And honestly? I didn't care anymore. Let her burn. Let her do her worst.
I was done letting everyone gaslight me. I couldn't keep letting guilt dig into my skin like I had brought this upon myself. I didn't ask for any of this nor bring it upon myself. The Moon Goddess did.

She tried to get the guards to letleave. She even threatened them at spoint. But they were terrified. That kind of fear that says, I want to help you, but I like my life more.
Because who wouldn't be scared for their lives? Who would want to stand between Kester and his orders? They respectfully refused.
Mum threatened to be here first thing tomorrow morning, and honestly, I was worried. That meeting won't go well.
Claire hadn't calledsince last night. I was certain she had heard the news already. And I didn't even want to imagine what was going through her head right now. She's probably disgusted. Shocked. Hurt. All of it. I wouldn't blher.
This whole thingand Kester-it's would tear everything apart. Everyone we love was going to bleed from this. This union was already shaking the ground beneath our feet, ready to shatter the relationships we'd built with the people we loved. The wreckage was coming. I could feel it.
It was already 8 PM, and Kester still wasn't back.
I hated him, yes. God, I hated him so much that sometimes I couldn't even breathe.
But the bond? That stupid, fucked-up mate bond? It kept pulling at me, twisting my insides and makingwonder where he was, if he was okay, if he was thinking abouttoo. And I hated that even more.
Tkept longing for his presence, even though all I wanted was to push him away.
I didn't know what wanted anymore. I was a wreck. Confused, angry, and sad. A thousand emotions crashing together, none of them making sense.
I was a disaster in the skin of a girl who didn't know what she wanted anymore.
My phone chimed, and the speed at which I reached for it on the couch was unhealthy. It madea bit dizzy.
1/2 Chapter 293 It was Melissa.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy brows narrowed.
Why was she calling me? Was there something else she had to tell me? My heart skipped a beat.
I had been careless that one tshe called to tellabout Kester was so stupid to have answered that call on En. my phone.
Kester had always had my phone bugged. No calls I made or received were without his knowledge. But..! A part of he had hoped that after thatone mistake of speaking with Melissa over the sbugged phone, he'd be too busy to snoop around to see who I had called or not.
Hell, I didn't even know he still kept an eye on my activities. Those happened when! m packend was still back at the pack house. When we began our affair, I guess I expected him to have stopped already. And I hope he truly stopped and that he never knew I spoke with Melissa.
It wasn't safe to answer the call. So, I tossed the phone back on the seat and let it ring.
I got worried when the call becpersistent. She had called four times in a row, and it was enough to unsettle anyone I picked up the phone and answered the call, and her voice trembled with the kind of fear that made my spine turn to ice.
