FREDERICK"Welcome back, Alpha..." the maid's voice greeted me as I entered the hall of my mansion. I'm home again. Yet, I couldn't find any comfort or peace that should be here. I knew I won't be able to relax until everything is fully sorted out. What's the point of this little break, anyway? Even now that I'm back, I'll still be swamped with work, just in a different location, that's all."Ah, finally we're home again. I feel so lonely without you here. I'm so happy we're back now." Odette's words drifted in and I almost forgot she was even there, despite her still clinging to my arm. "Right, Frederick? Aren't you happy to be back?" "Yes I am."I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed because it seemed like all she cared about was us being back home. I knew the border fortress wasn't a comfortable place for her, and she'd been pushing to head back to the manor since yesterday. Now the smile had been plastered on her face again. Odette also had seen all of the chaos outside
TESSAThe sun was already low in the western sky, casting an orange glow over everything as I stepped into my cabin. I headed straight to my bedroom, which was right across from the kitchen, where Daria was busy stirring something in a pot on the stove. "How was training?" She asked when I approached her. "Hope everything went okay?" "It was great. Just a bit nervous at first, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I'm being honest about just starting, but my mentor is so sweet and understanding." I replied.Today marked the start of my official training as a hybrid, and it went surprisingly well. All the fears and worries I'd been carrying around didn't happen, and I could only hope that this would continue for good. "Why don't you go take a bath first? Dinner will be ready by the time you're done." I nodded and headed to my room. As soon as I got there, I stripped off my blouse and pants. Then I take in long, refreshing bath. Feeling the tension melt away with the water t
FREDERICK"And as a result, many of the smaller packs are forced to submit-" The sound of the door slamming open cut off my delta's words. I looked up to see Odette bursting into the meeting room, her lips trembling. "Odette?" I got to my feet, surprised by the sudden interruption.The whole room followed suit, standing up. Instead of responding to my words, Odette threw herself at me and buried her face in my chest. Her shoulders shook as she burst into tears. "What's wrong?" I frowned, trying to gently pry her away by the arm, creating some space between us. We were right in the middle of an important meeting and now it was being completely derailed by her sudden outburst.How could the guard outside let her burst into the meeting? Odette also didn't inform me before coming. What could be so urgent that she had to follow me down at the pack's quarter border like this? "She's hurt me again," Her voice cracked.And I could feel my annoyance rising. I wasn't in the mood for gues
TESSA"..... all I ever pray to Selene is that when Frederick takes the Alpha position, he'll choose the right Luna for this pack, and together they'll bring this pack to greater heights than his father did," Irene's voice was full of hope as her eyes drifted off into the distance.As we walked past several wards, I caught glimpses of patients peeking curiously at us from behind the windows. My heart constricted when I saw that some of them were children. Irene invited me to visit one of the hospitals in Ashwood Pack earlier, and I agreed without hesitation.It had been a while since I'd set foot in a hospital and the familiar sights and sounds stirred up a mix of emotions. Watching doctors and nurses in their crisp white medical suits hurry by, I realized just how much I'd missed my workplace."Do you think my expectations are too much to ask for? Sometimes I wonder that myself," Irene said with a sigh. "I've never hated Odette, nor do I hold any grudges against her... I just wish
TESSADays passed. It's been 3 weeks since Dante's arrival and thankfully he made it back to the Stormhowl Pack without any trouble.But just this morning, I received a message from him saying that he will visit me again soon.It's not that I don't like it, I'm happy when he's here. What I'm worried about is just his strained relationship with Frederick.Dante can be a bit reckless at times, and I worried that if he pushed too far and Frederick didn't forgive him like before, he could get into big trouble. I sighs, The sound of a car engine caught my attention, and I turned to see a white Mercedes-Benz pulling into the yard, coming to a stop in front of the Alonso mansion. I stood on the terrace, watching as Odette, Irene, and Marina emerged from the car. Once they climbed the stairs and joined me, Irene's eyes widened in surprise. "Tessa? What a surprise to see you here," Her voice tinged with curiosity."I called her to help me out since Beth, my maid, is sick," Odette's voice d
TESSAWhen I didn't return the hug, Dante's arms eventually dropped to his sides, releasing me. "Everything okay?" he asked, a flicker of hurt crossing his face. "You didn't even hug me back," I managed a smile, though it felt like it was painted on.A sense of discomfort seeped into my chest, unwelcome and uninvited. The words he'd spoken the night before, when he said that he's my Alpha and only his orders should I obey, still lingered in my mind."I'm just too surprised,""Really?"I gave a nod.Was I really okay? He stood before me, the same familiar figure I'd known and trusted as my only brother for so long.Yet something tells me that there's something different."I just thought that—oh well, never mind. I guess that jerk got to you again, and you've forgotten about me," "Does that even make sense, Dante?"Because there's no way I could forget him."He's got a hold on you once and he'll try to pull you back in, especially now that you're alone here," His words dripping with
