Michael angrily stood before me and blocked my view of the Luna’s tears.
“How dare you mention how your good son hurt my mate? Have you forgotten?”
Alpha John reached out and pulled the Luna back. He looked scared of Michael. Everyone else in the house was watching our argument. I tugged at Michael’s shirt from behind, telling him not to be so fierce. We didn’t come here to fight. There was no need to make things so tense.
Michael took a deep breath and looked away from Alpha John and the Luna. “I wanted to know your son’s life directly, but... Well, you should thank my kind mate. She stopped me, so I promised her I’d let your son go. You should be ashamed of what your son did to Cecily and how she repaid his kindness.”
Both Alpha John and the Luna looked at me.
Their eyes looked complicated, especially the Luna’s. There was a strange light in her eyes. There was joy, regret, sadness, and even resentment, but I was sure there was no gratitude.
I didn’t want to find out what they were thinking. I only wanted to achieve my goal.
“Okay, stop talking nonsense,” Michael said unhappily. “Cecily wants to talk to him. We don’t have much time. Can you ask him to come out?”
“Uhm, the thing is…” Alpha John finally regained his composure. “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I’m afraid that Robert can’t come to see you.”
Alpha John saw Michael looking angry again and quickly said, “Because he hasn’t been well lately. Since... After that, he’s been lying in bed, unable to do anything.”
I could hear the sadness in Alpha John’s tone. I understood why the Luna had such a complicated expression in her eyes. Anyone who saw their once strong and healthy son.. would not feel good about their son becoming a bedridden cripple.
Guilt bubbled up in my heart again. I felt that I had harmed Robert.
“That’s just right…” Michael’s patience seemed to have run out.
I sensed that he wanted to leave. I quickly pushed Michael behind me. When Michael looked down at me, I said the first thing I said when I arrived at the house, “It doesn’t matter. I can go and find him.”
“No.” Michael glared at me.
I ignored him and looked at Alpha John and Luna. “Where is Robert now? Can you please show me the way?”
Alpha John and the Luna looked at each other and then at Michael inquisitively.

Michael’s face was still dark, but he didn’t say anything about it.
“Excuse me, please show us the way.”I?smiled at Alpha John and the Luna, trying to use a gentle tone to show that I didn’t mean any harm.
“Okay.” Alpha John nodded, looked at Michael again, and then started walking to a corridor of the house.
We walked around a corner and up the stairs to a small attic.
I was hesitating in front of the door when it opened from the inside.
A pale Alison walked out. She looked worse than the last time. She had lost weight in a short time, and her hair hung listlessly on her shoulders. It was obvious that she had not been tended to for a long time and had lost her beautiful color and luster. Her skin had become rough, and there were stains on her clothes. She was a completely different person from the high school belle.
She also looked up at me, and I saw the fire in her eyes. She roared at me, “What are you doing here?!”
Before I could retaliate, the Luna had already stepped forward and slapped Alison hard. “What are you shouting about? This is the Lycan Prince of the royal family and his mate. Who allowed you to act so atrociously here?!”
The Luna then turned to look at me and gave me a fawning smile. “Cecily, don’t be bothered by her. They know they’re wrong.”
Alison stood to the side with her hands covering her face. I noticed that she was looking at me with hatred in her eyes. But when I looked at her, she was too afraid to look directly at me and simply looked down at the ground, showing her neck as a sign of submission.
I could see that she was getting weaker, too. As I had said earlier, Robert trying to force mark me was not something that would hurt me but Alison as well.
Now that Robert was so weak that he could only lie in bed, Alison would be affected by his mark, and that was the terrible thing about the mate connection. It looked harmless, but if your mate were in trouble, it would kill you from the inside.
