Lucien looked positively adorable in his little suit. “Like a little Alpha in the making,” Lilith cooed, playing with his
tiny socked feet.

two things | thought | would never have.
For a little while, | felt... happy. Maybe this wasn't the life | thought | would have, but it was more than | could
have asked for. The curse certainly made life difficult, but if it weren't for the curse, then there wouldn't be a

neatly as usual, and | was wearing my typical gray uniform despite preparing for a banquet. “After what Sophia
said, | was so worried...”
“Sophia is a liar.” Lilith straightened, picking Lucien up, and handed him to me. He blew a bubble and made a
little sound of contentment as | settled him into my arms.
“Does that mean you trust Alexander instead?” | asked.
Lilith hesitated at that. Deciding who to trust completely felt like a fool's gright now. There was still so

| met Alexander outside the banquet hall at six o'clock sharp. In my past life, this was the moment | would have
