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

<p>We grab something to eat and once we finish and head back to the table, I take a seat next to Evan and Rowan takes the seat that's on the other side of me. Evan takes my hand in his from under the table and interlocks them, giving mine a tight squeeze.</p>

<p> We talk for what feels like ages. Surprisingly, Carlina tells a few stories about her childhood after Alex forced her to leave our small rogue pack. I didn't think she would be able to talk about it, but she seems to be holding up well. Rowan and Lily talk about their time growing up together without me. How, ever since Rowan was old enough, he would lead and organize search parties almost every day. They both grew up seeing each other more as siblings instead of cousins. Lastly, Evan and I talk about our childhoods. How hard some instances were, and how we made it through everything life threw our way.</p>
