....   When Tio and Lilith returned to Colt's land, there were already a large number of people strewn around. Everything was set to go, with a variety of dishes, chairs, and a table.   As Drake approached Lilith and Tio, he exclaimed, "Dude, Lilith!"   Tio exclaimed, waving his hands at Drake, "Dude!"   Drake inquired, "Did you like strolling around?"   "We did," Tio responded, "because this place is so beautiful."   "That's good. By the way, I'll show you to your chair, and the party will begin," Drake said as he escorted Tio and Lilith to one of the open tables in the center.     Lilith, on the other hand, remained mute as Drake and Tio continued to talk to each other. She couldn't get what she'd learnt about the meaning of mate out of her thoughts. Furthermore, what Tio said muddled her mind.   "I'll

.....   Carla and Stephen remained with Tio and Lilith when the party began, having learnt of Lilith and Colt's predicament. They simply felt that Lilith required their assistance, and they also desired that Colt speak with them to inform them of Lilith's situation, despite the fact that Lilith had already informed them.   "Those three women are the candidates for Alpha's mate. They volunteered to be a part of Alpha, and now is the moment that Alpha will choose one of them," Carla said quietly to Lilith.   Lilith heard Carla speak while her gaze was drawn to the three women who had come at the gathering. She was sad and jealous as a result of this. She's not sure why she suddenly felt jealous, despite the fact that she already knew Colt had his own will to do what he wanted. The fact that they were never together makes Lilith even more depressed.   Lilith whispered, "They're all gorgeous." &n

.....   Carla, Tio, and Stephen were still awake in the morning after staying up all night to keep an eye on Lilith. Because of his eye bag, Tio appears to be a zombie, while Stephen and Carla appear to be drowsy.   As soon as Stephen saw Lilith seated in her bed, he said, "Good morning, Lilith!"     "Good morning, Lilith," Carla said as well.   Tio, on the other hand, was busy while staring at Lilith, and despite his desire to sleep, he was unable to do so.   Lilith said softly, caressing her eyes, "Good morning."   Lilith was also worried about Tio, Stephen, and Carla staying up all night to keep an eye on her. She could tell they were all sleepless because it was obvious on their faces.   Carla inquired as she rose from Lilith's bed, "What do you want for breakfast?"   Lilith said humbly, "I will eat w

.....   Carla and Stephen needed to return to their work, so Tio went to Lilith's room alone. When Tio entered Lilith's chamber, he discovered Minerva standing in front of Lilith's bed, where Lilith was sleeping.   "Tio?" Lilith greeted Tio without looking him in the eyes.   "What are you doing here, Minerva?" Tio asked as he hurried towards Lilith.   Minerva raced out of Lilith's chamber, saying, "It's none of your concern."   Tio snorted in astonishment and turned to face Lilith, who was staring at her blanket. He has no idea what Minerva said or did to Lilith, and he is perplexed as to why Minerva was in Lilith's chamber. Also, Tio didn't see Minerva in Colt's cabin during the previous meal meeting.   "What did she do?" Tio inquired, concerned.   But Lilith only shook her head and didn't say anything. Tio was becoming increasingly conc

.....   Colt whispered, "Sleep now, it's quite late."   Lilith says softly, "Just don't leave me."   "I won't," Colt assured them.   After a few more minutes, Lilith slept off. Colt then stood up and walked towards Tio, who was now asleep on the long couch, holding a blanket. Colt slid the blanket over Tio's shoulders. He then felt bad for him, knowing that Tio had been of great assistance to him. He was incredibly grateful that Tio never left his side.   When the morning arrived, Colt left without notifying Tio or Lilith. It was an unexpected call; Fecilla, one of Colt's candidate mates, had made a complaint about what had occurred at the welcome party the night before. Colt had anticipated it, which is why he went out of his way to meet Fecilla and speak with her right away.   Lilith looked for Colt as soon as she awoke. But, unfortunately, she didn't see C
