The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven
Chapter 127: They Knew

Chapter 127: They Knew

Meredith.

I walked back to my bedroom on the ground floor. Luckily, only a few early servants caught sight of me.

It’s not as if I was bothered about that.

Draven was my husband, at least in name. It might take some time for me to accept him fully as my mate.

I can’t easily let go of our beginning. He was mean. Even grandma confirmed it.

As soon as I walked into my bedroom, I went straight for my dressing room and picked something simple from my wardrobe to wear.

By the time Azul and the rest came in to wake me up and get me dressed, I was trying to do my hair.

They were shocked. All of them.

"My lady, you couldn’t sleep last night?" Azul asked as she adjusted the collar of my dress for me.

"I couldn’t," I replied, letting go off my hair as she took over. "That’s why I was up early, looking for what to do and decided to get ready before time."

Just then, Kira came over with the small makeup purse that just included a powder, mascara and light pink lipstick.

"Would you like a cup of camomile tea to help you sleep better tonight?" Azul asked, peering at my face while Kira got started with the makeup.

On the other hand, Deidra passed me a cup of hot flower tea I usually drank on some mornings, while Cora and Arya took the beddings away and changed the sheets.

"I’m good," I replied Azul.

Kira finished beating my face five minutes later and took a step back.

"I’m done, my lady," she announced.

"I want to see what the makeup looks like on my face. Can I get a mirror?" I asked, lifting my gaze to her.

Then, I saw something shift in her eyes as her face fell. My eyes narrowed.

"My lady, there is no hand mirror, and we haven’t replaced the one that broke in the dressing room," she explained, lowering her gaze. "I apologize."

A deep sigh escaped my lips.

Even Azul remained unmoving next to me. She was done with my hair and didn’t have anything else to do, but she couldn’t leave.

I had indirectly given off the idea that I was mad at them. And honestly, I wasn’t even sure I wasn’t.

Kira didn’t dare lift her gaze and Azul didn’t dare to speak a word. Also, the others didn’t come into my bedroom this time. It allowed me some time to think.

I contemplated within myself on whether to say this or not. In the end, I chose to reveal that I wasn’t blind.

Another deep breath escaped my lips as I cast my gaze on Kira.

"Lift your head," I said. She obeyed.

Then I turned to Azul and asked her to go get the others. "I want to speak to everybody. When I’m done, you can all go back to your work."

"Yes, my lady." Azul bowed deeply, turned and left.

I perceived the hint of nervousness she gave off, but I wasn’t bothered.

In less than a minute, Azul returned with the others. And just like her, they looked nervous.

Apart from the day I had called them together to talk about my what and wild pheromones, this was the second time I was arranging a formal gathering.

"I am aware you all conspired and deliberately got rid of all the mirrors in my quarters," I said, my gaze moving from one face to the other.

Azul’s fingers fiddled. Kira shut her eyes. Deidra’s, Cora’s, and Arya’s gazes widened in pure shock.

My guesses were confirmed. But I continued.

"You all don’t have to worry. I can’t nick myself again since my injury had completely healed and my scar, gone."

They all lifted their gazes to meet mine.

"How did you know my lady?" Deidra asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.

The others looked at her first before shifting their gazes back to me.

"The Alpha has a mirror in his bathroom. And as the Moon Goddess would have it, I happened to use it and discover the shocking reality."

When I looked into Draven’s mirror and saw that my scar was gone, I realized why Azul had looked a bit surprised when she saw me outside his study yesterday morning.

I also discovered why Azul covered the mirror in my bathroom and gave a silly excuse, including the meaning of the look she had given Dennis when he was going to say something about my face yesterday.

Probably, the injury was half-gone, and he noticed and wanted to comment on it, but Azul stopped him and covered it up with a cucumber seed.

I’m not sure Dennis knew why Azul would stop him from talking about it.

But now, I have realized why my maidservants got rid of all the mirrors in my room. They knew about my bad behaviour of nicking myself and reopening my injury, and decided to dispose of them so I wouldn’t notice the rapid healing.

They succeeded.

Azul exchanged glances with the others.

I noticed the mixed emotions that crossed their faces and let out another sigh.

They were surprised that I found out about them, knowing my secret, and also that I now knew I was completely healed, despite their efforts.

At least, their plans worked.

I softened my facial expression, proving that I wasn’t mad at them, and only then did they all release a deep sigh of relief.

Deidra dramatically patted her chest and mumbled something funny that reached my ears.

"Congratulations, my lady." Azul’s entire face bloomed into a smile.

"Thank you," I replied with a small nod.

"Congratulations, my lady!" They rest chorused.

I saw the sincerity in their eyes and felt my eyes glisten with tears. I was reminded of how much they were rotting for the best for me.

Because of the deep hatred and anger I harboured against that classmate bully of mine for attempting to sexually assault me, I had nurtured so much pain me, while punishing myself and occasionally thinking of revenge.

But with my wolf’s reminder, I think I’m going to start loving myself and caring so much about my affairs now.

The self-inflicted hurt and pain had got to stop.
