I attacked her.There's a rule that if any person attacks another person without a reason, then he/she is punished with 20 whippings, but since I am the luna, I was given another option, apologize to my husband's fated mate.Bow down and apologize to the person who took away my happiness? He must be joking.Rather than bowing, I took not 20 but 50 whippings to remember this humiliation for the rest of my life.Feeling tired, I decided to leave, as my father also thought that Blake was the better alpha than me. But as I was leaving, I came to know that my parents' deaths weren't just a normal rogue attack case. It was more than that.The plan was simple.

Let me make it clear, Amalthea. I want you, and I will do anything to get you, even if it means I will have to turn this world upside down," He smirked.How am I supposed to get on with my plans like this?
