Hespere was the first to take a seat, then calmly instructed, “Heath, close the door. The three of us need to sit down and have a proper talk.”

Heath sensed the sudden change in atmosphere.

He glanced at his father, who was tight–lipped and clearly confused and uneasy.

He quietly closed the door and then dragged his feet back to his chair.

Hespere sat with one hand on the armrest and the other resting in her lap.

Her life of comfort and a seemingly harmonious mating had kept her looking younger than her age, and her face was naturally elegant, though visibly more exhausted these past few days.

She looked at Stanley and spoke in a flat tone, as if discussing a trivial matter, “I saw Luna Adelaide today.”

Stanley looked like he’d been bitten by a snake.

He jolted up and cried out, “She went to you? What lies did she tell you? Whatever she said, don’t believe it! She’s completely untrustworthy!”

Hespere watched him silently. Her once bright eyes now held a bit of fatigue but retained her composure.

She said calmly, “Luna Adelaide and I are not close, but I know she isn’t one to spread rumors. And she didn’t come looking for me. I ran into her when I went to the villa to pick up the child.“.

Stanley’s lips trembled, his eyes quickly darting away, his voice suddenly weak. “Wh–what child?”

Hespere’s gaze remained steady but carried a clear coolness. “I know everything. You don’t need to waste your breath trying to explain. I went there today intending to bring the child back and have Hazel raise her, but Luna Adelaide said either you or Heath must go to the shelter personally to retrieve her.”

She remained perfectly composed the entire time. In contrast, both men were fidgeting.

Stanley, especially, was a mess, afraid to meet her eyes or speak.

Luna Hespere continued, “You’re probably wondering why I insisted on bringing the child back. It’s not about how generous I am. There are two reasons.”

She paused. “First, the child is innocent. You are her father, and as your Luna, I need to care for her. Yes, she has a mother. Still, we are obligated to be responsible for her. Second, secrets always come out. The Ministry of Justice is handling this case. That case file has passed through many hands, and everyone who sees it knows this truth. You can silence one person, but you can’t silence everyone.”

She folded her hands in front of her, her tone still calm but with an undeniable conviction. “Even if the news hasn’t spread yet, those who have seen the files hold leverage over us. Our pack is already under scrutiny. Both you and Heath hold high office, and our daughter is the current Lycan Luna. Making a mistake isn’t the disaster, but we absolutely cannot allow anyone to gain leverage that can be used to threaten us. The more we try to cover it up, the bigger the problem becomes, putting us on the defensive.”

“The treason case isn’t closed. That means more people might be implicated later. If you keep fearing this will damage your reputation, you’ll live in constant fear, and the price you pay will only increase. It’s better to face your mistake now and accept the responsibility you owe— bring the child back to Styxwarden and let Hazel raise her. That way, you’ve done your duty as a father.”

“If you do this, no one will ever be able to use this to threaten you or the Walls again.”

Having finished her speech, Hespere stood up. “I’ve said what I needed to say. Heath, you will go pick up the child tomorrow.”

Heath had never realized his mother possessed such foresight and was momentarily speechless.

Stanley stared blankly at his wife, as if he were truly meeting her for the first time.

Hespere turned and walked out of the study. The heavy scent of the room’s incense was making her dizzy. A few breaths of fresh air outside helped slightly.

“Hespere!” Stanley’s voice, thick with shame, came from behind her. “I’m so sorry…”

“We’ve been mates for so long. I used to think I knew you best, but now I realize I don’t know you at all.” Luna Hespere didn’t turn back, her eyes feeling dry and stinging.

Her voice was slightly broken by the wind but held a firm resolve. “Protecting the Styxwarden Pack–that is your responsibility as the pack leader, and it is mine as the Luna.”

“I’m sorry!” Stanley rushed forward, reaching to grab her arm.
