Chapter 0094
Ruby’s POV
“The Bedfords, all of them, supported Lilia and hers to become Pack DarkWood’s
Luna,” my best friend Cara’s voice was quiet.
Trying to prevent children from hearing our words, my voice quiet too: “Oh, that’s so disgusting.”
Then I casually throw the photo aside and never look at it again.
In an instant, the smiling man in the picture on the competition flyer was no longer attractive to my eyes. No matter how stunning or charming he might be, friends always come first.
Our evening progressed normally from there. The four of us played games together, and I tried to soak up as much of the fun as I possibly could, knowing that days like this will soon be gone.
Soon, I’ll be leaving for the Illari Medical School I’m sad to be leaving Cara and the kids, but I know that it’s for the best. The research they’re doing at Illari is unparalleled. There’s nowhere else I could go to get a better education to cure Mia’s illness.
We cooked and ate dinner together, laughing and enjoying each other. Cara
ara went to her home office to work while the children and I cleaned up after dinner.
Not too long after, I went to check on Cara and found her fast asleep at her desk. She’s been working so hard lately, trying her best to improve this already very impressive Pack BloodyMoon.
I’m so proud of Cara. I’m proud of the mother she is, the friend that she is, and I’m also proud to call myself a member of her pack. There’s no better Beta out there, as far as I’m convinced.
I grab a nice fluffy blanket and drape it over my best friend’s sleeping body. She deserves some rest. I try my best not to disturb her, and I’m happy to hear her soft breathing continue in a low and steady pattern as I make my way out of the room.
When I return to the living room of the cottage, I find Ethan in front of the computer. I creep ind him in an attempt to see the screen. I’m curious what he could be up to, his little fingers typing away furiously.
“Lilia Auburn?!” I read aloud from the screen in shock.
Ethan jumps, clearly not expecting me to be behind him, looking over his shoulder.
“Oh! Auntie Ruby!” he shouts.

Chapter 0094
“Why
are you searching for information on Lilla, Ethan?” I ask him. He must’ve heard Cara’s comment from earlier about the Bedfords. Cara must not have spoken quietly enough.
“She’s the one behind Mommy’s accident six years ago, the one that happened while me and Mia were in Mommy’s belly.” Ethan says directly.
What?!
How could he possibly know that?!
I look at him, a mixture of shock and confusion written all over my face, I’m sure.
“She tried to marry the Alpha King, but she got caught trying to hurt Mommy,” Ethan adds. “Where did you hear this?” I ask him.
“You grown ups aren’t as sneaky as you think!” Ethan giggles, a victorious smile on his face.
“You really are too smart for your own good. You know that, right?” I laugh, ruffling his black hair with my fingers.
Ethan is a genuis, abouslutly. I’m not mad at him for being curious about his mother’s history. After all, it’s his own history, too.
If anything, I’m impressed. Not many six–year–olds are capable of piecing together such a complicated tale. And less than that would be able to keep their knowledge hidden in the way that Ethan has.
“You are mature beyond your years, kid. I’ll give you that,” I tell him affectionately.
Ethan beams up at me, thrilled to receive my praise.
“I know more than just that, Auntie Ruby.” He says mysteriously.
“Oh, yes?” I ask.
“I know who my father is,” his big green eyes are wide as he whispers this to me.
