Chapter 228: Findings

Olivia’s POV

It’s been three days since I arrived at Alpha Damien’s mansion, and I hardly stepped outside my room. It wasn’t like I was locked in... it was my own choice.

Alpha Damien had been busy. He only visited at night, checking on me quickly before rushing off again. I could see the tired look in his eyes every time—like something heavy was weighing on him. I didn’t ask. Whatever it was, I knew it wasn’t about me. Probably pack problems.

I sat on my bed, hugging my knees, and thinking about that picture I saw in Sofia’s room. The picture of her... and the girl beside her. The girl whose face I was now wearing. Who was she? Were they close? Were they sisters? Friends? Where is she now?

My mind wouldn’t stop asking questions I had no answers to. I just wanted to know the truth, to know whose face I now wore.

My throat felt dry. I needed water.

I stood, left the room, and quietly made my way downstairs. The house was peaceful, and every servant I passed lowered their heads in respect. I forced a smile, trying to look normal—even though inside I felt like a stranger in my skin.

When I entered the kitchen, I found an older woman there. She was wiping her hands with a towel and turned toward me with a bright, warm smile.

"Luna Becca," she said sweetly. "What would you like?"

I froze.

Becca? That was a nickname. It seemed... she knew the owner of this face.

"Do you remember me?" I asked cautiously.

The woman chuckled, placing a hand on her hip. "Of course I do, my dear. You used to spend hours in this kitchen trying to teach me those Indian meals. Miss Sofia, your best friend, would always laugh and say, ’Becca thinks she’s a chef now.’" She smiled at the memory, her eyes glowing.

My heart dropped.

The girl in the photo was Sofia’s best friend.

I leaned against the counter, suddenly feeling a bit dizzy.

The woman stepped closer, lowering her voice. "I must say... I never expected you and Alpha Damien to be a thing."

I looked up at her, startled.

She held up her hands. "Oh, don’t worry. I’m not judging. Alpha Damien says you’re mates now, and I believe him. But still... back then, you once told me you were engaged to someone else. You were so in love... I remember your eyes lit up when you talked about him."

I looked away, the lump in my throat growing.

She gave me a sad smile. "Wherever Miss Sofia is, I believe she’d be shocked... maybe even hurt. To know her best friend and her man ended up married. But... she left him first, didn’t she?"

I didn’t respond.

Because I didn’t know how to.

I wasn’t Becca.
