He nodded his head and momentarily closed his eyes to calm his nerves.

“Yes, just like that,” I added when I saw him taking deep breaths.

As he started calming down, I let go of him and let him take his time.

Opening his eyes, he sighed, swallowed the lump in his throat, and pantingly said, “They hit us hard…”

My eyes narrowed. They? Did he mean the Rogues and Ralph?

He shook his head in disbelief before continuing, “They are too organised for Rogues. They moved strategically. We were with some warriors who were doing patrols while we rechecked our tracking, but they ambushed us on the northern border.”

“What?” I asked in shock before worry crept into me. “What’s the casualty? Did we lose a lot of warr

    Jessica’s POVLater that night, I went to the veranda at the back of the pack house and leaned on the half-wall fence, breathing in some fresh air, which gave relief to my heart that’s recently been feeling heavy and tight.“Are you sure about this?” Zane asked, resting his one arm around my waist and another hand leaning on the fence with his face turned toward me.Leaning my head on his sho

    Jessica’s POVAfter we had the dinner the servant had sent into his office, I helped Zane with his paperwork, reviewing some safety protocols and financing matters. After a few hours, we finally finished.“That’s exhausting! I can’t imagine how you do all this alone,” I dramatically exclaimed as I leaned back on my seat with my arms hanging on the side and head on the top of the backrest with it a little tilted to stare in his eyes.Giving out a charming smirk, he boasted, “I’m the King.”“Don’t be smug.” I laughed.“Alright, let’s get to business.” He clapped his hands and stretched out before sitting properly and pulled out a map from the drawer under his table.“Agh, maybe after a while?

Walking out from his hiding, he looked at me like I betrayed him. “Straight to violence, really? My poor, fragile heart. How dare you?”I rolled my eyes before turning around. Slamming down to the bench with my legs apart and my elbows on it, I started removing my hand’s wrap.Fred’s shadow loomed over me as he stood in front ot me. “What’s wrong?”“Eric… Again,” I said with a hint of helplessness in my voice as I threw the wrap to who knew where.“Ah, the walking plague,” he commented with understanding before seating down beside me.“I talked to him yesterday in the market.
