Chapter2 Alpha Thomas had told me hed be out of the Blue Moon Pack for a business trip .
Just a couple of days , hed said , pressing a kiss to my forehead just like the perfect doting husband act .
Ill miss you .
I smiled , lips curving in the way I knew he liked -the sweet , affectionate wife .
I waved him off , watching his car disappear down the driveway , and the second it was out of sight , I locked the door behind me with a soft click .
It was time to work .
The past few days , Id been watching him .
Studying him .
Learning his habits , the way he 1/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points protected the things most important to him .
The moment I set foot inside the house , the mission was clear : find out the safe hed been hiding .
It didnt take long before I uncovered the safe , cleverly concealed behind a generic landscape painting in his office in his office .
The code ? Laughably predictable .
Audrey Hopkinss birthday .
I entered the code , hearing the faint beep of success followed by the satisfying click of the lock .
Inside , it was exactly what Id imagined .
Neat .
Organized .
Sickeningly so .
My stomach churned 2/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points as I rifled through the documents .
At the top was a stack of hospital records binding agreements for organ donation , surgical logs , and the paperwork that proved Thomas had authorized the transfer of my mothers organ to Audreys sister .
I felt the burn behind my eyes , the anger rising in me .
My claws itched beneath my skin , a sudden flare of rage threatening to overwhelm me .
But I shoved it down .
No.
Not yet .
Beneath the medical files were financial records -each transaction meticulously categorized .
Business expenses , the receipts claimed .
But I wasnt stupid anymore .
Every dollar spent- luxury vacations , jewelry , designer wardrobes- had been for Audrey .
And that wasnt even the worst of it .
3/11 Chapter2 +5 Points The second stack of receipts my receipts- sickened me .
The necklaces .
The rings .
The dresses .
I had worn them all , once believing they were symbols of his love , his devotion .
But no .
They were just cheap trinkets compared to the real treasures hed lavished upon Audrey .
Somehow , it hurt more than Id anticipated .
A weight settled in my chest , suffocating and raw .
The reality hit me harder than I expected .
I was nothing to him .
Never had been .
I was just … a placeholder .
A convenient decoy to conceal an obsession he never intended to leave behind .
I sank to the floor , surrounded by the evidence of his lies .
For one fractured moment , the tears broke free , hot and bitter as they streaked down my cheeks .
4/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points But then … I clenched my fists .
No more .
I was done crying .
I wiped my face with the back of my hand , pulled out my phone , and meticulously began documenting everything .
The hospital agreements .
The payment records .
The damning receipts .
Every single detail .
Near the bottom of the safe , tucked neatly into a corner , was a folder labeled Future Assets .
My breath caught as I studied its contents : real estate investments , property deeds , insurance policies .
I captured those too .
When I was done , I replaced everything with careful precision , leaving no trace of my 5/11 Chapter2 intrusion .
+ 5 Points And then , without sparing a single glance backward , I left the house .
The lawyer was next on my list .
When I walked into his office unannounced , he glanced up , startled .
Luna Camille ! I wasnt expecting you .
I need a divorce agreement , I said , my voice steady , cold .
His brow furrowed in confusion .
Does Alpha Thomas- No , I interrupted sharply .
He doesnt know .
And Id like to keep it that way .
For now .
6/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points He hesitated , the hesitation thick in his silence .

Then , with a resigned nod , he pulled out a folder and slid it across the desk .
Weve already drafted a template .
All thats left is your signature .
I skimmed the contents quickly .
Every section was clean , airtight .
The moment I reached the bottom of the page , I signed my name without wavering .
Send it to him after Im gone , I instructed firmly .
Not a minute sooner .
Gone ? His confusion deepened .
But I had no intentions of explaining .
I stood , clutching my bag , and walked out without 7/11 Chapter2 another word .
+ 5 Points My next destination was far less polished .
Tucked deep in a nondescript alleyway , the building looked as though it had been forgotten by time .
The faded sign above the door was almost illegible , but I knew I was in the right place .
This was where people like me went to disappear .
The door creaked when I pushed it open , releasing a stale smell of cigarettes and damp paper .
A hooded man sat behind the counter , his expression unreadable as his dark eyes flicked toward me .
You lost ? His voice was rough , skeptical .
8/11 Chapter2 5 Points No.
I dropped the word like a stone .
I need your services .
He leaned forward slightly , studying me .
What kind of services ? I want to disappear , I said , my resolve unshaken .
Completely .
His brow lifted , though his eyes narrowed with intrigue .
You sure you understand what youre asking for ? I do .
His lips curled into an amused smirk .
And what makes you think I can help ? 9/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points I reached into my bag , pulling out the thick stack of cash Id prepared .
Crisp , unmarked .
It landed on the counter with a satisfying weight .
His smirk grew wider .
Now were talkin He gestured for me to follow , leading me into a back room humming with machinery .
Monitors covered every inch of the walls , flickering with grainy feeds and digital maps .
Heres the deal , he began , his tone turning clinical .
You choose the method .
Car crash , drowning , overdose whatever fits .
We stage it .
Make sure its airtight .
Once the process is complete , well supply you with new identification , a new life .
Youll be untraceable .
Ghosted .
10/11 Chapter2 + 5 Points I nodded , my decision already made .
I want it staged as a suicide , I said .
Something clean , believable .
No loose ends .
He handed me a clipboard thick with forms .
Fill these out .
Well take care of the rest .
11/1
