Ethan stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable. His eyes were dark, filled with a storm of emotions that he kept carefully hidden behind a confident stride. He stepped into the room and shut the door gently behind him. His presence instantly commanded attention. Lucy felt a shiver run down her spine as his gaze locked onto hers, a silent exchange passing between them that sent her heart racing.The silence that settled over the room was thick and heavy, each of them lost in their own thoughts. Ethan stood near the door and took a brief look at the three women as he grappled with the implications of what Lucy had just said. The idea of Lucy needing to find her mate had struck a chord with him, but he kept his emotions tightly controlled, unwilling to let anything slip. His jaw clenched as he tried to process the weight of the situation.Ethan took a step forward and the atmosphere shifted, a tension thickening the air like a storm cloud hovering overhead. Lucy's words had just l

*”What does she mean by getting ready for tonight's work?... Was she deaf and could not hear what we've been saying to her”* Lucy's stomach twisted at the command, the weight of it pressing down on her. She had barely regained consciousness, her body still weak, and now Isabella expected her to go back to work as if nothing had happened? *”How could she?”* Lucy wagged her head to get the thoughts off her mindIsabella’s gaze shifted to Katherine, who had been standing silently by Lucy’s side. “Katherine,” she said sharply, “are you done with your job?”Katherine hesitated only for a moment before tilting her head slightly, a gesture that signaled her answer. No, she wasn’t done, and at that instant Isabella’s impatience became palpable.“Then what are you still doing here?” Isabella snapped, her voice cold. “Get back to your post. Now.”Katherine’s response was immediate. She nodded quickly, her movements sharp with urgency, and without another word, she turned and left the room. The

Leo and Ethan met with the guard on the way. The guard immediately bowed his head while Leo watched him. There was silence that hung amongst them, inciting great tension. Leo narrowed his thoughts, knowing he had been missing and instead of him working on the errand his Father had sent him, he was busy doing something else and the guard allocated to him would be wondering what had happened and where he had been. Leo sighed deeply but kept mute, knowing that the guard was already curious as to where he had been. The guard, still a bit uneasy from having lost sight of Leo earlier, broke the silence first."Leo, I searched everywhere for you, but you vanished. I was starting to worry," the guard said, his voice a mix of concern but relief, since he found him already.Leo glanced at the guard with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood. "I needed some air. Can’t have you following me everywhere, can I?" Leo shrugged and took a brief look at Ethan so he would give away some expression to sup

Isabella barged into the room, her presence immediately instilling fear. Instinctively, both Lucy and Marie scrambled to their feet, their hearts racing with a mixture of fear and surprise. Isabella ignored them both as her eyes caught the view of the room. Her eyes swept across the room, taking in the sight of their work.She nodded her head and clapped her hands slowly, a satisfied smirk played on her lips as she observed the clean and well swept room. “Well, well, well,” she drawled, her tone laced with a hint of mockery. “It seems you two have actually done something right for once.”Lucy and Marie exchanged a quick glance, both unsure of how to respond. They stood silently, waiting for whatever command Isabella would issue next. The tension in the room was palpable and Marie could feel her heart pounding in her chest. Marie brushed her shoulder against Lucy's. Lucy glanced at her as she noticed the gesture on Marie's face, a sign that tells her to bow her head. Lucy nodded but d

Leo stood at the front of the main gate, his posture straight and commanding, as though he were a living statue carved from the stone of authority itself. His hands were clasped firmly behind his back, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure. Beside him was Ethan, who stood with an equally serious demeanor, his sharp eyes scanning the scene with a mixture of scrutiny and concern.Behind them also, a contingent of guards maintained their positions, their expressions betraying nothing but readiness. The air was tense with anticipation, each member of the pack aware of the significance of the visitor about to arrive.Isabella soon emerged from behind them, her presence purposeful. She stood at first on a spot but soon maneuvered to Leo side, her gaze immediately drawn to the distant figure on the horizon. As she took her place next to him, the space between them felt charged with unspoken emotions. Her heart fluttered nervously, a blend of excitement swirling within her. Her affection
