His Miracle Luna-the Forsaken Lycan Queen

The Abandoned Lycan Queen Novel 124

Elena's POV

I wanted to laugh at the Duchess' remark. I didn't ask her for forgiveness, and yet she felt like I had committed a grave sin that needed forgiveness, and wanted to act like the better person.

Going with the flow, she sat, I played with it and bowed my head a little out of respect while keeping my dignity." Thank you, Duchess Diana."

You're just a used woman that Alpha Bryson threw away. You're not one that my son will take seriously."

Laughing mockingly, she shook her head and looked at me like I was a piece of ant she could easily stamp on, Here I am taking pity on you and trying to save you from humiliation, but I see no gratitude from you.

Her way of doing things was indeed twisted, and her words were sharp, but she was straightforward and wasn't using a mask to face me. I give her credit for that.

With an unwavering voice, I nodded my head. "I understand your concern, Duchess. But it seems the news that reached your ears isn't accurate. Let me straighten it out. It is I who initiated my divorce with Bryson and not the other way around."
