Chapter 43: No Children
Olivia's POV
Today had been exhausting. From meeting with the she-wolves to my heated encounter with Logan, then dealing with Lennox fussing over my injury, and finally attending to pack matters—it had been one thing after another. All I wanted was to collapse onto my bed and sleep, but tonight was a family dinner. And not just with the triplets and Anita. Their parents would be there too. I had no choice but to attend.
As I arrived at the dining table, a small smile formed on my lips when I saw my mother seated. It was comforting to see her eating at the same table as me. She had been through so much, and now that I was royalty, she was, too.
"Good evening, everyone," I greeted.
Mother responded warmly, and the triplets' parents acknowledged me, but the triplets themselves remained silent. Across from me, Anita sat glaring.
"I heard you officially started your duties as Luna today," Lady Fiona, the triplets' mother, said.
I nodded. "Yes, ma'am."
She gave me an encouraging smile. "Being a Luna is demanding, but I believe you can handle it. And if you ever need guidance, don't hesitate to come to me, okay?"
I nodded, but deep down, I knew that was never going to happen.
Don't get me wrong—Lady Fiona was a good woman with a kind heart. But to me, she had been a terrible Luna.
She had been there when my father was accused of stealing, yet she never used her position to prove his innocence. She had been Luna when my mother and I were demoted to Omegas when the she-wolves shunned my mother and banned her from their gatherings, and she had done nothing to stop it. She had been there when we were treated like trash, when my mother fell into depression—and what did she do? She turned a blind eye.
