She examined him as any mother would, with eyes detailed by care.
Dylan, accustomed to her ways, merely nodded and assured her, âIâm fine.
â
The womanâs sigh of relief was audible after hearing the reassuring response.
But then, puzzlement seemed to strike her.
She glanced my way, a frown forming.
âAlpha, who is this woman?â
A subtle frown creased my forehead as discomfort washed over me.
Her presence, though not overbearing, somehow cast me in the role of an outsider within these walls.
My eyes met Calebâs, laden with silent questions.
Caleb didnât rush to answer.
Our eyes locked, and he offered a serene introduction.
âThis is Alexandria Vargas, my secretary.
Sheâs Carlosâ cousin.
Iâve had a lot on my plate recently, and sheâs stepped in to look after the kids.
â
Turning his attention to Alexandria, Calebâs voice took on a cooler note.
âAnd this is Luna, my wife.
â
His detached tone strangely comforted me.
I allowed a small smile to grace my lips.
For a brief spell, the weight on my chest seemed to lift.
Alexandria was stunned for a moment, but soon her face was filled with surprise.
She stepped closer, a warm smile on her face.
âWow, youâre the Luna everyoneâs been talking about! You are as breathtaking as they say.
Itâs a pleasure to meet you.

Caught off guard, I could only greet, âHi, Alexandria.
â
She greeted me back with a nod and a still-beaming smile.
But before she could continue, Caleb interjected, âAlexandria, the night has grown late.
You should head home and get some rest.
â
Debraâs POV:
As if she didnât hear Caleb, Alexandria looked at his injured hand and asked, âAlpha, is your hand badly hurt? Can you manage on your own?â
Without looking at her, Caleb replied, âItâs not that bad; I can handle it.
You can go home.
â
Helpless, Alexandria agreed.
âOkay, just be careful.
You can call me if you need anything.
â
Then, she turned to me and said gently, âLuna, while Iâm away, please take care of the Alpha and make sure he doesnât get hurt again.
â
Her words made me uncomfortable, but I couldnât figure out why at that moment.
After hesitating, I said, âOf course, Iâll take good care of him.
Donât worry.
â
âThank you.
â
Alexandria nodded and left the villa.
She walked confidently, giving the impression that she was Calebâs wife, not me.
