Paige, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, her voice laced with false humility. "Thank you, Luna Senna. I… I promise I’ll do my best to serve this pack and to support Alpha Rennon."
I turned to her, my eyes meeting hers, and I could see the nervousness behind her facade. "Of course, Paige. I’ll make sure you’re well taken care of. After all, it’s my duty as Luna."
I excused myself from the room, my steps measured and calm as I walked away. But as soon as I was out of sight, my expression shifted, the mask of kindness and grace slipping away, replaced by a cold demeanor.
I would take care of Paige, all right. I would take perfect care of her.
SENNA’S POV
The silence in my room was suffocating, pressing in on me from all sides.
Just as I was planning everything in my head, a soft knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. My heart clenched involuntarily, assuming it was Rennon coming to soothe his guilt with more empty words. I felt a surge of irritation at the mere thought of him. I wasn’t in the mood to play the dutiful Luna anymore, especially not with that lying snake standing beside him. But I knew I had to maintain my facade, at least for now.
