Chapter 4
“Do you even understand how serious this is, if the other pack committed any crime we would be held equally responsible-”
“Mia, I know that you don’t like me but please don’t besmear my pack like that.”
I turned to look at Xavier only for him to glare at me before saying.
“Vanessa is right, you did not even have a proper education so you would not know much about the pack affairs. How would you understand if this is beneficial or not?”
It’s better to leave the responsibilities of the pack on me. Vanessa served as a Luna for
Chapter 4
more than three years, I cannot be biased in
your favor when you are just an illiterate orphan.” My body trembled when my husband insulted me in front of everyone.
The dinner was tasteless, I did not speak a word after that, making Xavier look at me once in a while. My mother–in–law did not seem displeased with the argument and was rather boisterous with Vanessa. It was only when I picked an oyster to taste did she suddenly interrupted me harshly.
“Mia I understand that you did not have any parents to teach you anything, but are you just plain stupid to eat such a spicy dish in your second trimester?
Do you not care about the baby at all? No

wonder Xavier had to go to such lengths to protect you.”
“Like he is protecting me right now against your relentless attacks?” As soon as the words left my mouth the chattering quietened down with my mother-in–law too shocked to speak. Xavier on the other hand froze, before looking at me in confusion.
“This was the oyster the nurse cooked for me for better digestion. I brought it here because you asked me to hurry up while I was having my lunch, asking me to bring food for
everyone here. But it feels like I am in too much of a trouble to be sitting here amongst you. Coming here was a mistake.”
“Mia!” I quickly got up without eating while
Chapter 4
Xavier followed me outside cautiously.
“Mia, mom did not meant it like that. Come back with me right now!”
“To tell you the truth, Xavier, my parents are very well alive and if I had listened to them in the first place, I would have never chosen
such a terrible place for me where I am never
welcomed.”
Xavier held my shoulders, shaking his head thinking that I was making up stories to console myself.
“Mia let it go this once. You have to be a good daughter–in–law and a wife.”
“Xavier! Vanessa is having trouble breathing, you must come quickly.” our conversation was interrupted by Colin who looked between us

with some hesitation.
“Mia come inside, it’s going to rain heavily. I must quickly help Vanessa, so for the time being please wait.”
I looked at the man like he was a stranger. He hesitated as if searching for the right words, but ultimately he just squeezed my hand before letting go and rushing to Vanessa’s aid.
My mother–in–law messaged me instantly: [ you can come inside now, earlier I just assumed things.]
[ let’s not waste this dinner party] I smiled through tears as I realized that I was never once welcomed in this household, it was all about status and prestige for them.
Three years ago I was kidnapped by the
Chapter 4
rogues, and my father and brothers did not
left any stone unturned to search for me, but my identity was never revealed for it could have endangered my life.
At last, it was the Alpha of Jade moon pack- Xavier who rescued me along with others from the captivity. My mother decided to give him a hefty compensation only for me to tell her, that I liked this man and wanted to be
mates with him.
My brothers were completely against this relationship. They had told me that since I was the only princess of the royal family, I had never seen hardships and marrying a cold person like Xavier would not fare well for
- me.

How foolish I was to think that pure love
would surpass all status when today my husband was the very person who told me
that I was useless because of no status.
The rain drenched me completely as I ignored Xavier’s mother‘ s insistence for me to come back. At this moment I felt stupid to fall
in love with such a heartless man. I was
embarrassed to return to my home… What would I even say to my parents?
Would they even accept me back?
Suddenly, I was covered with warmth as Xavier embraced me tightly, he was soaked with the rain but he quickly took me aside.
Are you alright? I am sorry I shouldn’t have left you in this state but why don’t you just
Chapter 4
follow orders and go inside.
“See, Vanessa is terribly sick” he continued, his voice softening. “She came because I invited her, I could not have left her like that but even then she sent me to you, you should learn something from her.”
“Mom has been trying to call you, she even messaged you to come inside, why can’t you stop being stubborn for a moment!” he sighed, almost complaining before he saw my pale face.
After that he quickly took me to a nearby store to change into fresh clothes so that I would not fall sick.
“Are you alright Mia? I am calling a taxi to take you home” I shook my head before

asking.
“Are you not coming back with me?”
“I have to do some work-”
“Are you going to drop Vanessa off at her
home now?”
“What?” Xavier asked, taken aback, that I would see right through his excuse.
Xavier‘ s expression shifted from indulgence to that of guilt and anger as he carefully
answered.
“I will be home right after that. Please try to understand Vanessa is a single mother and she is really sick. What if something happens on her way home?”
I cut him off before he could continue. “I

understand, you want to drop her because she
is sick and cannot take care of herself, while I can very well go home by myself.“
