Horace’s pov.

“Ready?” She asked as my eyes trailed her body behind my glasses.

I wanted to keep it to myself, but it just slipped out. “You look… beautiful.”

She gave a slight smile. “Thank you.” Then she looked away. “You don't look too bad yourself.”

I smiled. “Is that your idea of a good compliment?”

“Take it or leave it, alpha Horace. Greed has never done well for anyone.” She chided jokingly as we entered the car.

We got to the venue, and as usual, I got out and opened her door.

    Ethan’s POV“Lila, just hold on. I swear I can’t explain this.”She shook her head slowly, taking a few steps away, eyes still wide with shock. “What the hell— what the hell is going on, Ethan? What is this?” She whispered.I swallowed, turning back to the driver.It was Dave, so I didn’t need a magician to tell me why he was there.My mother had obviously sent him.But that was not even the worst part.By the time I turned back to him, he already had a phone to his ear, saying something. I also did not need a magic chance to know who he was talking to.One of my parents or even both.My heart skipped. I quickly turned back to Little. “Please, don’t go. Just give me a moment to explain. I have a perfect scientific explanation for this.”She shook her head. “I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s anything scientific about this.”“Oh, trust me, there is. There is, okay?”“Are you kidding me? I mean, are you kidding me? You are literally still holding onto it,” she said, staring at my

    Ethan’s POVAs soon as I had the chance, I prepared to make my way out of the White House. It was my day off from the hospital, and unlike the past, where I would still go to work as I had nothing interesting to do with my time, I found myself eager to get my days off. This day was one of them, so I wasn’t about to let it go to waste.“Going somewhere?” my mother asked just as I got close to my car. I paused, turning to look at her.We both stared in silence for a moment; no doubt, we had a lot on our minds, but we were each keeping our thoughts to ourselves.My father had not mentioned anything to me, so I had a feeling she hadn’t mentioned the hospital incident.It was also possible that she did, and he just wasn’t ready to address it.They had a way of acting like they didn’t see things, but I had lived with them long enough to know that they did and only decided to address it when they felt like it. I swallowed. “Yes, mother. I have somewhere important to be.”She smirked, steppi

    Horace’s POVElena and I were in the room having a discussion about the war and ways we wanted to go about it when the door burst open, and my daughter walked in with quick urgency. I pushed myself up a bit, somewhat surprised by the look on her face.“What is it, Ellie? Why do you look so frantic?”Elena quickly asked her.She walked closer to us, eyes looking sharp. “My goodness, something strange happened at the hospital, and you’re not going to believe it.”“Well, you have to tell us first before we can arrive at that decision. So what happened?” She drew in a deep breath. “I was in Ethan‘s office today, having lunch, when an unfamiliar nurse came to inform me of a visit.”I squinted my eyes. “A visit? For you?”She nodded sharply. “From who?”She scoffed, staring in silence for a while before opening her mouth. “Well, at first, she said it was a classmate of mine.”“But…” I followed immediately.“When I went outside, there weren't any classmates.”“So who was it?” Elena asked.

    Elaine’s POV I took a step forward even though everything inside me was telling me to turn around and run far away, pick up the phone, and call my parents immediately.But I didn’t. Instead, I took another step forward. And another and another. Until I got pretty close.However, to my surprise, as I was about to get close, he suddenly took a step backward.I paused, confused, but took another step.Then he mirrored my movements, going backwards.I frowned but didn’t stop… Neither did he.We continued like this without even caring that there were people around, probably looking at us.I paused, asking myself why I wasn’t even doing something so ridiculous. I mean, if you really wanted to see me, why was he moving away?But my questions came a bit too late. I was already away from everyone’s sight and standing in a lonely hallway alone with him. I pressed my teeth together. “Hello, what do you want?” I murmured at first.I got more response from him, and for some reason, I wasn’t rea

    Elaine’s POVI was in Ethan’s office, having my break and enjoying the silence away from him, when a knock came on his door.“Come in,” I said without putting in too much effort, as I believed they were here for my brother, so only prepared to disappoint them.The door pushed open, and a lady in a nurse's uniform walked in. She wasn’t surprised to see me, which raised some questions with me.“Your highness, good afternoon.”“Good afternoon, Nurse. My brother is not here.”“Oh, I know that. I’m not here for him, I’m here for you.”I frowned in confusion. “Here for me?”“Yes.”I looked around to make sure she was really speaking to me. “Uhm, is there a problem?”“Not at all, your highness. But someone is here to see you. They’ve requested your presence in the lobby.”My presence?Who could it be?“Did they drop an ID or state their identity because I’m really not expecting anyone?”“Not really, your highness. But I think they are someone you know.”I pulled my head back, more confused.

    Elaine’s POVMy brother turned to me, looking surprised, which only confused me further because by the reaction of everyone on the dinner table, I could tell that something was wrong.“Are you trying to say this was the woman appearing in your dreams?”I nodded because I was sure she was the one appearing to me and showing me things like they were about to happen, and we had to prepare against it.“Yes, She is.”He scoffed, turning back to my mother. “Mother, are you guys playing a prank on me? Please, if this is some kind of joke, just stop it now.”I squinted my brows, wondering why he would think we were joking about such a matter. “Why the hell would we joke about this?”“Calm down, Ellie. Your brother needs time to process this,” my mother quickly replied.“Ethan, are you okay?” My father followed, and in that moment, I was certain that something was really wrong.The quietness was absolutely abnormal.The sudden seriousness on the table was also far from ordinary.My brother ch
