Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 129

*****Erika's POV*****

The search for Serenity never seemed to end, and after several days, we still hadn't found any positive leads. She had a knack for disappearing without a trace.

As I stepped out of the room and into the living room, a maid approached me with news that Alex had arrived.

"Tell him to leave," I immediately responded upon hearing his name.

She hesitated, glancing at me, and I raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, Alpha. I'll make sure he goes away," she assured me before quickly scurrying off.

I rubbed my hands together, feeling the cold seeping in slowly.

As the new year approached in just a week's time, the thought of my father still lying on a sick bed squeezed my heart in my chest.

I walked towards his chambers, the very place where we kept him secluded from the others.

The guard at the entrance respectfully bowed and stepped aside as I entered his bedroom. There, on the bed, lay my father, his usual imposing presence replaced by stillness. I slowed my steps, feeling the weight of his absence in our lives and in our pack.

A small smile appeared on my face as I blinked away the tears. Father looked so calm and peaceful. My heart reached out to him, wishing he would just move a finger or, even better, open his eyes to see me.

I pulled a stool from the corner and made myself comfortable on it as I watched him. His handsome features despite being old, still looked so perfect.

Remembering that Serenity was the one responsible for his condition made me clench my fist in anger.

Father never deserved this. Just like Jace said before, father pulled away from the business and Gridshade was the only one who continued.

So I see no reason why father has to suffer everything.

I see no reason why Serenity has to do all these, go extra miles just to avenge her dead father.

She was punishing mine who never even had a hand in her father's death. This was the reason why I would never forgive her and everyone who once supported her.

Everyone including Alex.

They all believed her and not me, so I see no reason to actually spare any one of them.

"Father, we finally know the truth." I said softly, biting my lower lip as I waited for a reaction from him.

My thoughts couldn't help drifting back to Maid Melisse. She worked for Serenity, so where could she be at the moment?

If Father ever finds out that Maid Melisse was one of them, he would be greatly disappointed in her. I was already as disappointed as I can be.

"Even Melisse turned evil..." I drawled as I recalled how we found out the truth about her and the things she said about being rich.

I smiled softly, Melisse knew nothing at that time.
