Chapter 24

Della's POV

"Not him…" I said, flipping to another page.

I looked at the page and pursed my lips before shaking my head. "Definitely not him!"

It's been hours already, and I'm still looking through the confidential folder Jackson gifted me, evaluating every applicant to see who I'd want as my Beta.

After I cried my heart out to Jackson after Kylian took Flora away, I felt relieved and started concentrating on enjoying my freedom instead. And now, for the past few hours, I've been looking over and over through each file and choosing a Beta for myself.

Once the sun rose, I came downstairs and ate my favorite dishes prepared by the best chefs in the kingdom.

A huge smile formed on my lips as my stomach was immensely satisfied. Once I had finished, I ran upstairs and changed into a summer dress.

Looking at the full-length mirror in my bedroom, I made a few half-twirls to see how I looked. It's what I'd wear to the Lupercalia.
