Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 0138

Chapter 138

Cara's POV

"So soon?"

I ask, though I suppose, in hindsight, it really isn't that soon. I've been working as the pack Beta for a time, doing a good job behind the scenes.

"You've made significant contributions to the pack collaboration," Eamon says. "It would be a disservice to you to not be properly honored at the joint celebration. The moniker of Aylon has served you well, but for this, for now, I think it's better to eliminate confusion."

"I don't need the praise," I remind him. "That's never been why I offered to help.”

"Just because you don't need the praise does not mean I won't see you have it nonetheless," Eamon says, a small smile on his lips. "You've done well, Cara, for us and for yourself. Both packs should know."

"But Alaric..." I say before I can catch myself.

Eamon gives me a curious kind of look. "Is there some reason we should continue to keep the secret?"

No. I won't hide away just because Alaric will be there and will discover that I'm, in fact, Aylon Auburn, the Bloody Moon beta.

I made a vow to keep Alaric from affecting my life the way it is now. By hiding away, cowering behind a false identity, I would be doing just that.

He doesn't get to dictate anything about my life anymore.

Especially not this.

"No," I say. "No, it will be fine."

Eamon seems pleased by my answer. "Good. It's decided then. We'll make sure

to add time for the revelation in with the other accolades and awards."

"Thank you," I tell him.

Lightly he shakes his head. "Thank you, sister. It's your diligence and service that has made any of this possible."
