CARDAN MONTESSORI
The proof that broke me
I stared at the flames in the hearth, watching them dance like they were mocking me. This chamber had held kings before me… ruthless Alphas with iron hearts and blood-stained claws. And yet here I was, feeling like the weakest of them all.
All because of one woman.
Nora.
“Marry me,” she had said, like it was a simple trade. She made it look like the title of Luna was a token I could just hand over in return for some twisted revelation.
She should have known better…
Maybe she didn't did…
Maybe she didn't want to admit… but already knew… she was chasing a lost cause…
Because there was no way I was going to bow to her demands…
No way!
But…
I hadn’t slept since.
Not because of her words… no, I was used to manipulation. I was raised by it.
