Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

“Miss Sarah, would you like these washed?‘ The maid asked, pointing to the nightgown she had changed out of last night.

Sarah glanced at them, then shook her head. “No need. Just throw them away.”

The maid hesitated, startled by the request.

Then, as if realizing something, Sarah added, “And those bags in the attic, I don’t want them either.”

There was no place for those things in her life anymore.

Just then, Alex came running down the stairs, his schoolbag bouncing against his back.

“Mom, let’s go!” he called, grabbing her hand.

She took him to school, dropping him off at the gate.

Just as she was about to leave, a little boy ran up to her, waving excitedly.

It was Brian, the neighbor’s son.

“Sarah! Why didn’t you come home last night?” he asked curiously. “My mom made cookies! She wanted to give you some!”

Before Sarah could respond, Alex scowled.

“What the hell are you talking about?” he huffed. “Mom was at home last night. She slept with me.”

When he heard the words, Brian gazed at Alex with a sympathy and understanding beyond his years.

Though young, Brian had overheard enough adult conversations and observed enough of his surroundings to grasp the complexities of Alex’s life.

As a neighbor he knew that Alex’s father favored another woman more and that his marriage to Aunt Sarah had come to an end, which was why Aunt Sarah had moved out.
