SHATTERED

chapter 9

It was quite late at night.
When Nakshatra reached home, her uncle scolded her a lot.

She couldn't sleep until dawn. She was lost in thought, and by the time she realized it, it was already morning. Suddenly, she remembered that she had to go to work. As she reached the palace gate, she bumped into a little girl.

With the sudden impact, the girl fell down.

Feeling like she was being accused, Nakshatra apologized, but the little girl said, "If you want forgiveness, you must hit yourself with a stick five times."

Nakshatra laughed at the girl's innocent words and agreed.

She quickly entered the palace kitchen, wondering what to make.

Just then, Mary came to her and said, "Don't worry, I've already made breakfast for the morning."

Hearing this, Nakshatra smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I'm a bit late today."

Mary replied, "That's alright. Sometimes, don't you help me out as well?"

"If you hadn't made it today, the head servant would have scolded me to death. They're always waiting to pounce on my smallest mistake."

Nakshatra said, "I don't understand why."

Mary responded, "They're like that with everyone. Luna doesn't like mistakes, which is why they're always so strict and uptight."

Mary took all the food and placed it on the table.

In the kingdom, it was time for everyone living in the palace to eat.

But today, Nakshatra felt that if she went to the dining table, she might see her mate , so she said she would go.

Mary then said, "You usually don't like going in front of others, do you?"

Hearing this, Nakshatra nervously said, "You cooked today, didn't you? Let me do this."

Mary said, "Alright," and walked away.

Nakshatra, along with two others, placed the food on the dining table. Everyone gathered, and Mia saw her.

She greeted her.

Nakshatra smiled and greeted Mia back using sign language.

Madonna never liked mia talking to Nakshatra or any low class people but they had never gone against the wishes of the mia so they remained silent.

Alex was still always behind mia, walking around pampering her.

Alex liked Mia a lot, and you could tell by looking into his eyes.

Serena asked Madonna, "Mom, isn't Dad around?"

Madonna replied, "Your father has gone out for some business. He hasn't told me much more, but said he will return by evening, and then he will talk."

Rogan came to the dining table.

As soon as he arrived, Robin realized where Nakshatra was, and his wolf happily jumping like fool.

However, Rogan did not look in her direction.

Nakshatra stood there, wondering if he would look at her even once.

But he never looked at her.

Though her eyes filled with tears, she held herself together.

After everything, Logan told madonna he had to check on the guards and would go nearby.

He quickly left.

But Serena grabbed his hand and said, "I need to talk to you."
"When will you come back?"
