Chapter 29
“Aty lord, One man stepped forward. “Please have mercy on them.”
“They should be pardoned, my prince. It was but a mistake,” Another lady stepped forward.
“Princess Melanie,” The man turned to me. “Find it in your heart to forgive them. To err is human, but to forgive is the most divine of all.”
“You can forgive them but according me the same sympathy is difficult for you?” I asked, not bothering to push back the coldness form my voice.
I turned to look at Varis who had tears leaking down his cheeks. There wasn’t a single sliver of remorse in my heart for any of them.
ry deserve to be evicted for all the disrespect and harassment.” I added. “If anyone should be ashamed of themselves, it’s definitely them. Not me.”
“Then it’s settled.” Askhan said with a tone of finality,
The crowd continue to murmur, some still trying to argue in support of Marco and the rest while the others saying words that weren’t quite audible.
I zoned out most of what they were saying, already feeling overwhelmed by everything that was going on.
Without another word, I turned back and began heading inside, not wanting to watch what would happen next.
My mind was reeling with different thoughts that threatened to send me into another spiral. The whole divorce farce seemed to be over. At the very least, no one had talked about it if not Bella and her cronies.
There was something else that weighted my mind down. The fact that my wolf still hadn’t come.
I couldn’t turn.
No matter how hard I tried, regardless of how hard I tried to focus, it just wouldn’t happen. My heart thumped hard against my chest as the thought weighed harder on me.
I was in deep waters.
There was no way I could protect myself if something happened. My mind went back to a day when I’d come home and I was in danger.
A shiver went down my spine as the image of Jack’s sinister smile plastered itself in my head. I needed to know the truth. And to do that, I’d have to confront Jack about the truth.
I called for my nanny who wasted no time in coming to meet me. Her head was bowed a little as she watched me. Emma was standing by her side, watching me with curious eyes. I couldn’t help but look in awe of my daughter. How could someone so little be the cutest thing ever?
I cleared my throat, turning back to the nanny. “I’m going to need you to take care of Emma. There’s somewhere I need to be.”
“Yes, princess.” The nanny nodded her head.
“Mommy,” Emma started innocently. “Where are you going?”
“Just going to see someone. There’s something I need to do.” I answered with a kind smile on my face.
Judging by the innocent look on her face and the way she seemed to look much better than last time, she’d no doubt forgotten all about Jack
The only men she knew in her life where His Highness, The Alpha Prince and His Highness, The General.
A part of me envied her for being able to forget about that bastard so quickly. It wasn’t the same for me. It was like he’d always find a way to wrap his dirty tendrils in some part of my life, forcing me to see him even if it was against my will.
During the days that followed, I found a way to link up with an intelligence team I had once lead. The group had been created by me before I got married. It had been fun, but I had eventually disbanded it, when Jack became more demanding of my time and being.
Of course, it didn’t come without giving the group a sum of money after my wedding. Regardless, they remained loyal to me without question.
After they learnt about my divorce, I’d somehow gotten a message from them. They’d found a way to contact me.

Chapter 29
“You sure you wanna see this?” One of my group members, Troy, asked. The grimness in his tone sent a shiver down my spine.
I nodded my head and grabbed the tablet from him. As my eyes read further, I couldn’t help the bitter chuckle that left my lips.
According to what they’d found, Jack had expelled from the Shadow Pack and lived his life on the streets for a while.
But suddenly, he’d gotten a large sum of money from somewhere. With that, he was able to not only pay of all his mistress‘ debts but also bail her out of jail. Currently, they were living together with her illegitimate son.
I didn’t bother reading it all, too angry to even focus after what I’d just seen.
“You okay, Melanie?” Troy’s worried voice barely reached my ears as the anger remained hot in my chest.
“Damn it.” I yelled as a sharp pain racked my chest.
“Get some fucking help.” Troy yelled, though his voice sounded like he was far away.
