My knees gave way. I pressed a trembling hand against my chest as realization hit me like a silver blade to the heart.
Annie’s heart. They… they gave her heart to Hannah.
I hired those soldiers, used all of my conncetions, to prioritized saving my daughter who was kidnapped during the war. But Alpha Jeremiah paid them double to save Hannah instead. And that was why, a year ago, they only got my daughter’s lifeless body, while they managed to save the unconscious Hannah.
And now, Alpha Jeremiah gave my daughter’s heart just to save his fucking mistress?
Zera’s POV
Their voices still echo in my mind. “What if she finds out?” Hannah’s trembling whisper had sliced through the air like a knife.
For a moment, I thought there might be a sliver of guilt in her tone. That maybe, just maybe, the woman I once called my sister felt remorse.
But Jeremiah’s laugh was cruel and cold. “You’re too naive, Hannah. Zera is loyal to a fault. She won’t question me, she never does.”
Then Hannah’s giggle followed, soft and wicked. “Poor Luna Zera. She’s too perfect to even suspect anything.”
