In public, she was the noble daughter of the Muller family and the enviable young mistress of the Carrell family. But behind the scenes, she was a poor maid who had to wear a mask all day long and struggled for her livelihood.

Due to a conspiracy, she was forced to marry Ralph Carrell, son of the most powerful family in Northfield, in the name of Rayna Muller.

After the wedding, Ralph doted on her.

When Rayna showed up and claimed the place, she shed all her glory and left. She thought she would never see Ralph again, but Ralph took her into his arms and said, "Mrs. Carrell, you are not running away from me."

The Odd Luna Series

Ace was waiting for me to make the first move. He made a 'come here' motion with his index finger. We started to circle eachother. I threw a punch at his stomach and one at his chest. He managed to catch both my wrists in each of his hands. I gasped and met his eyes. He was wearing a smirk on his face.

"Don't underestimate a gamma. That will be your first mistake," He said and pushed me back by my wrists, making me stumble back. Luckily, I caught myself before I fell.

I stood back up and got back into my defensive position. Ace threw a punch at me but I quickly moved to the side. He threw another punch, but I blocked it. I threw a punch at him, he dodged it but then stood straight.

I furrowed my eyebrows at his sudden stopping.

"You're positions are wrong. You're not positioning correctly," He told me.

"Get into your defensive position," He ordered and I did as I was told. He then proceeded to get behind me. Ace adjusted my arms and legs.
