“Mydy, mydy. bWake /bup!”

I felt Serena’s hand on me and could clearly hear her voice, but I ignored her, turning to face the other side of the bed and pulling the nket over my head in an attempt to bget /ba more sleep.

Thadn’t slept wellst night, mostly because I’d bsnuck /bout. And even though I’d practically passed out the moment hit the bed, I still needed more rest.

It would be even better if I could just sleep through the entire day…hehe

“Mydy, wake up. bWake /bup!”

I groaned as Serena’s voice, surprisingly annoying today, rang in my ears. I lifted ba /bbhand /bband /bswatted hers away, not wanting to open my beyes /bor say anything. I just wanted to sleep!

bu /bshould wake up, right?” I heard She’s voice echo in my mind. “Today’s the day we’re heading to the bking’s /bpack.”

“You know byou/bb! /b

I almost rolled my beyes /bbat /bher, like I cared about that right now.

But her next words jolted me wide bawake/b.

“And don’t forget… you have to go to Kieran’s house with Serena

band /bact like you bjust /bcaught him for bAria’s /bmurder.”

I inhaled sharply and immediately

tely sat up in bed, my eyes sna

snapping open.

Oh my goddess, that’s right. I had to get to bKieran’s /bhouse with Serena before the drug wore off. I had to frame Kieran for Aria’s death!

How could I forget the most important part of the n

Serena flinched slightly, bstartled /bby how suddenly shot up. She bstared /bbat /bme, bwide/bb–/bbeyed /bband /bsurprised, but I didn’t bhave /btime to exin, I needed to get ready immediately.

“M–mydy, are you okay??” Serena asked, clearly worried bas /bI rushed toward the bathroom. In my haste, I banged my foot against the stool, but ignored the pain, bgrabbed /bmy toothbrush, and started brushing bmy /bteeth as quickly as I could.

“Mydy, you hit your foot! Are you alright? Doesn’t it hurt?” she asked bagain/b, trailing behind me with a look of concern

“I’m fine, Serena,” I mumbled after spitting out the paste. “Please get a dress ready, I’m taking a shower today, not going to the bath, you don’t need to

I quickly returned to brushing as I met Serena’s bgaze /bbin /bthe mirror and jerked my head slightly, bsignaling /bher to go.

She blinked in confusion at firstb, /bbbut /bsensing the urgency in my tone, she gave a small nod and bowed her head.

“Yes, mydy”

As soon as she left, I brushed faster, undressed, and headed into the shower, turning it on and letting the warm water trail down my skin.

I didn’t have time to enjoy it today, so I showered quickly before stepping out, almost slipping and cracking my head in the process, but bthankfully/b, didn’t.

I rushed back into the room where a pink dress had been neatlyid out on the bed. With no time to bwaste/b, I dried myself off band /bslipped into the dress. despite Serena’s protests. She had wanted to do my skincare and hair, but if byou /basked me, that was the least of my priorities right now.

straight, turning to Severa, who had been watching me in silent confusion the whole time

The moment our eyes met, she quicklyposed herself, her posture straightening like the was ready to rece an order

I simply grinned and ced my hands on her shoulders, looking at her with a bright,

delighted expression.

“We’re going out, Serenia. We’ll be leaving for th

ding’s pack this afternoon, but before that… I have somewhere I need to be”

I watched her blink up at me.

Time to set everything right.

“Are you sure this is a good idea, mydy? What if we get caught?” Serena asked, her voice tinged with fear as she nced around, one hand on the ca door, clearly debating whether to follow me or report me to my father. But honestly, she had no choice bbut /btoe with me

I nced up at her, starting the engine of my red Mercedes with a sigh.

“Serena, get in the car. You’ll get bus /bcaught standing out there like that. I just want to speak to Kieran before I leave it’ll be a quick chat just enough to blet /bbit /ball go before heading to the king’s pack.”

Serena frowned at my words, her expression tight with worry. At this point, atter my rebirth, it felt like that look never left her face. She was always worried about bme/b, always trying to protect me. But this time… I didn’t need her to protect me. bI /bwould protect her, even if it meant killing anyone who tried to harm her.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to go to Kieran’s house right now, mydy,” she whispered, leaning in slightly. “The Alpha would be furious if he found out

I want to do this, Serena. Don’t have the right to get some kind of closure from this rtionship? I promise I won’t do anything reckless. I just need to speak to him and end things. Is that so much to ask?” I said, my brows drawn into a frown.

Her eyes widened, turning ssy at my words, and I knew I’d hit the right riot, she felt bad for me.

The next second, her gaze sharpened with determination, and she nodded before sliding into the car and closing the door behind her.

“You’re right, mydy,” she said softly. “You deserve closure. I’m sorry for not realizing how badly you’re hurting.”

I smiled brightly, giving her a gentle pat on the shoulder before turning my attention b

back to the road and revving the engine

Serena was wrong. I wasn’t hurting. But she didn’t need to know that

For now, I just needed to do this.

To get there… and finally end it, once and for all.
