Chapter 832

Madeline:

It was as if I had gone back to the werewolf land. Seeing Ron here felt so strange.

It was like being at daycare and seeing your parents come for you at the end of the day.

That happiness of seeing an old, familiar face was exactly what I felt in that moment.

We hugged, and I actually had to calm my guards down because, from how tightly Ron was holding me, they thought he was strangling me.

“Oh my goodness, look at you!”

Ron broke the hug and took my hands, gently pushing me back so he could get a proper look at me.

“What is going on? Did they accept you back here? Oh my goodness, tell me you’re the president.” He started to ramble while I laughed, shaking my head.

“No. You’ll be surprised, actually,” I said, realizing I needed to let him settle down before breaking the news to him. “I have a surprise for you.”

“Wait, first let me take this in. We were so worried about you, but seeing you doing so well-❞ Ron placed a hand over his chest. “Oh my goodness, the others are going to be so relieved too.”

“Well-” I slowly tilted my head and studied his face as some of my excitement wore off and other questions began hitting me. “You’re back as an Alpha?”

He nodded, planting his hands on his waist with a cocky look on his face.

“Ah, it must be Rosetta. Did she help you?”

He nodded again, but this time, he pressed his lips together and stretched them into

a ridiculous grin that somehow managed to look both funny and confident.

Then my smile completely faded.

“Nala?” I asked.

He frowned, and his smile disappeared too.

“Did you marry Nala?” I asked in confusion. I had thought Nala was becoming

interested in Mathew. Maybe I had read everything wrong.

“What? No. Ew. She’s crazy,” Ron said, flicking a hand dismissively.

“Did you marry Rosetta?”

His eyebrows drew together.

“Why are you so focused on me remarrying?” he asked.

I rubbed my temples, trying to make sense of everything.

“Because they told us an Alpha and his Luna were coming over,” I explained. “That’s why I’m confused.”

Ron studied my face for a moment before nodding.

“Oh. Well, you’re not the only one with a surprise,” he said.

That made me think he had found someone else. Maybe he had finally decided to move on. Perhaps another woman had offered to marry him and help him build a new life.

Whatever the case, I would be happy for him. I would support him.

“I present to you—” Ron said dramatically.

I forced a small smile. It would be difficult seeing someone else in Yuvonne’s place, but of course, I would still be happy for him.

“My Luna. My wife-,” He stepped aside with a flourish and pointed toward the woman walking ins

With her purse and phone in her hands.

It took me a moment to understand what I was seeing.

It wasn’t a dream.

I wasn’t hallucinating.

I wasn’t imagining my sister’s face on someone else.

It was Yuvonne.

She walked over to Ron before turning toward me with a smile.

“Oh my Goddess, look at you!” she said, gasping. “You look like you’re doing so well. Did they accept you as president?”

Of course, she had the exact same assumption Ron had made, but I was too shocked to even focus on that.

“Wait, wait, wait. What is going on?” I asked, pointing at her.

Ron shoved his hands into his pockets and smiled at Yuvonne, letting her explain.

“I’m alive. I’ve been alive.”

The moment Yuvonne said it, she rushed toward me and wrapped her arms around

me.

I couldn’t hug her back.

I was still too shocked to move.

“No, wait, wait, wait. That can’t be. They burned your body,” I said, remembering the

one detail that had left all of us so scarred.

“Not mine. She was someone else. It’s a whole thing. A shifter thing.”

The moment she said that word,

bet

everything started to click into place.

I began piecing it together, realizing

ther the woman who halizing

died

had

only shared Yuvonne’s appearance.

But the rest of us still had questions.

Forget the rest.

The second I realized I could actually hug my sister again, I wrapped my arms around her tightly.

We both started laughing and crying at the same time, probably confusing everyone around us.

The humans couldn’t understand what it felt like to lose so many people and then somehow get them back.

It was as if the Moon Goddess had turned everything around, bringing back the people who mattered most to us and correcting the wrongs others had caused content

And that was a huge deal.
