The moment Anya released me from her embrace, I turned on my heel and marched straight out of the foyer.

Alexander had deliberately left my name on that list after I’d specifically asked him to remove it. He’d ignored my direct request and entered me into his stupid trial anyway, like my opinion didn’t matter. Like I was some prize to be won instead of a person with my own choices.

I was the last person who wanted to be his Luna. I’d done it once before, and it had been five years of misery and being ignored by the one man I wanted. It had been nice only for a little while before he had to go and lock me up over false evidence.

And even if that weren’t the case, why would I want to compete for the man who had only grieved me for a week before moving on?

I made it to Alexander’s office a few moments later. Voices were speaking inside, but I didn’t hesitate. Momentarily forgetting my station, I reached for the door handle, just as I had in my past life.

A hand shot out and grabbed my wrist.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Omega?” It was Hunter, the new Beta who looked to be no older than eighteen. Hardly old enough to boss me around. “The Alpha King is in a meeting.”

I whirled toward the Beta, eyes flashing, but stopped myself just as I was about to tell him where he could shove his newfound authority.

Right. I was an Omega now, not the Luna. The last time I’d tried to show Hunter who was boss, I was sorely reminded of the fact that I had no authority over anyone anymore. Not even the Beta.

“I need to speak with him,” I said curtly. “It’s important.”

Hunter’s lip curled. “Like I said, he’s busy. If it’s really that important, you can make an appointment. But he’s scheduling out several months right now.”

My hands clenched into fists at my sides. “I don’t have time to schedule an appointment. I want to speak with him now.”

Hunter’s eyebrows shot up. “And you are?”

“Stella Night. The nanny. The one you shoved, remember?”

“Ah.” Hunter blinked like he didn’t remember the entire incident, which was bullshit. How could he not remember shoving a woman? Was my status really that low now that the Beta couldn’t even recall having a physical altercation with me? “Well, too bad. You have to schedule an appointment if you want to speak with the Alpha King.”

My jaw ticked. The urge to barge past Hunter and pound on Alexander’s office door was almost overwhelming.

In my previous life, I could have done exactly that. As Luna, I had the authority to interrupt Alexander’s meetings whenever I needed to. The council would have stood and bowed when I entered. Hunter would have

But I wasn’t Luna anymore. I was an Omega nanny, and Omega nannies didn’t get to demand audiences with the Alpha King, and they certainly didn’t have Luna Voices.

“Can I just wait here?” I asked through gritted teeth. “What I have to say will only take a moment.”

Hunter checked his watch. “The meeting will run for another hour, maybe two. But if you’re so desperate, you can sit over there and wait.” He gestured to a hard bench in the hallway.
