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

I sat down at the dining table next to Oscar where my food was already set. He wrapped his arm around me possessively as pack members looked in my direction.

What? I said through our mind link. You jealous?

You know I am, love. A small smile spread across my face as he said that word. It's in the werewolf genes.

I shrugged and brought the fork to my mouth, eating the pasta that was on it. I know, but could you be less possessive? They didn't even look at my the wrong way. It was literally a glance.

No can do, love. He said and I gave him a look.

I don't like it. I said as I put more food in my mouth. I understood why he did it. Ever since Alex kidnapped me, Oscar has not once let me out of his sight. The times that he wasn't with me, someone else had to be with me to keep an eye on me.

You don't have to like it. It's for your own safety. Alex could be trying to get to you again and I cannot have that.
