The Despised Luna's Comeback

Chapter 488 All Set

Eleanor's POV: Queenie and I were sitting together, sipping afternoon tea, when I looked up and saw Heidi and Caden walking in. My mood shifted instantly. Queenie, unable to hide her displeasure, visibly tensed up. Her expression changed, and her voice rose as she pointed directly at Heidi, her tone full of authority. "Who let you into the Moonshadow Pack? Get out!" Heidi took a small step back, her voice soft but steady. "I-I just came with Caden to see the place. Our engagement ceremony is tomorrow." She glanced toward Caden as she spoke. Caden, holding her hand, squeezed it tighter, his gaze locking onto Queenie with a firm, unwavering look. "Show some respect. Tessa and I are getting engaged tomorrow." I was taken aback, a heavy feeling settling in my chest. I couldn't stop glaring at Heidi, my dislike for her growing with each passing second. She was nothing more than a singer from a bar, and now she was trying to transform herself into the future Luna of Eclipse Pack? It was absurd, a fantasy too ridiculous to entertain. "Caden, I can't agree with this," I said, trying to keep my voice calm, but the seriousness in my words was unmistakable. Heidi looked at me nervously, gathering all her courage to speak. "Mrs. Eleanor, I know you won't accept me, but ... I truly love Caden. And we're getting engaged tomorrow ... Could you please give us your blessing?" "You're asking for blessing?" Queenie's anger flared, and the presence of someone like Heidi only made her furious. The polite facade she had tried to maintain shattered instantly. Caden stepped forward, placing himself between me and Heidi, pulling her behind him as he met my gaze. "Tessa and I are in love. No matter what you think, she will be my wife, the future Luna of Eclipse Pack. I brought her here today just to show her the house. Nothing more." I clenched my teeth, struggling to keep my anger in check. All I wanted was to shift into my wolf and tear this woman apart. Once Caden finished speaking—as if we didn't exist—he and Heidi walked past me and Queenie, heading toward the study. "Come on. I'll show you the other rooms."Queenie and I stood frozen, watching them walk away, helpless. Queenie slammed her hand against the sofa. "Did you see that, Aunt Eleanor? What are we going to do?" I sighed, feeling drained. "Why are you rushing? Don't worry. This woman won't even get past the door of Eclipse Pack." "But ... But Caden is getting engaged to her tomorrow! You should know the news about her is everywhere. The interviews, the media coverage, it's causing a huge stir!" Queenie grew more agitated with each word, and before long, tears of frustration welled up in her eyes. Rosaline's POV: Caden and Heidi's engagement had already spread like wildfire. The whole town was talking about it, and every news outlet was filled with stories about their upcoming ceremony. In the past few days, I'd seen countless photos of Heidi being interviewed in various jewelry stores and bridal shops. It was clear this was all part of her plan. She was desperate for the world to know she would soon be the future Luna of Eclipse Pack. I ran my fingers over my phone screen, scrolling through the entertainment news about them. A quiet laugh escaped me. Tomorrow's engagement ceremony meant this whole charade would soon be over. In fact, I was almost eager for tomorrow's events to unfold. I quickly picked up the phone and dialed Anthony's number. "Tomorrow's the big day for Caden and Heidi. Is everything ready?" Anthony's voice came through cheerfully. "Don't worry, Wilda. Everything's all set, and we'll make sure it goes off without a hitch. Just wait and see tomorrow!" "Great. Thanks. I'll leave it in your hands," I replied, smiling, before hanging up. A deep sigh escaped me. After all this time, the trap was finally set. Tomorrow, everything would come to a head.
