"Ahh, I expect nothing less from a business owner." Mr. Spencer spoke suddenly. Now that he was looking at the young lady in a different light, he could not help but admire her and have respect for her. He could taste the bobs now, plus let's not forget his sudden inspiration. But Lord knows how he wishes his daughter had some type of substance or purpose-driven in life. But no, all she wanted to do was spend his hard-earned money trying to make a name for herself in the ton. The same ton who would look down on her if they knew her father was a merchant. A few knew the details of his part ownership of the Stygians. He preferred it that way, so he truly understood Ms. Thompson's request for privacy. "Ok, let me check on some availability as I have the perfect idea for a business like yours. You may not even need an entire stall, but just part of one." Mr. Spencer's hand moved as he described. "I can see your different products spread in a glass case," His hands outstretched, the

A wave of thankfulness flowed through Aakifahlynn for the thing she would need because she had used it many times. She had never been more grateful that her goal was not to have children immediately. Imagine bringing a child into this, witnessing their mother killed so brutally, or hearing the tales when they grew older. Plus, Aakifahlynn's ambitions did not provide for such a thing. At least not yet. Aakifahlynn had thought she had years for that, maybe even ten years into their marriage, which was nothing for a werewolf. Sadly, they barely made it to five years. Although a child may have changed things she'd randomly thought, it was too late for those sentiments. Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn will need to use that poppy wheat one more time before leaving the kingdom. Only it won't be on herself this time... Aakifahlynn was not thinking past, ripping Jairus and Taisiya's joy away from them. She was not even weighing the consequences of her actions on her conscience. Her mind was

Nevertheless, Aakifahlynn suddenly felt calm as she continued at her pace. This was a relief, she thought. Reaching the end, she entered the tent and saw Mr. Spencer talking to someone in a dark cloak. Aakifahlynn could barely make out the cloaked figure's face. But the cloaked figure's head tilted, his nose flared intensely as if he could smell under her disguise, and he disappeared quickly, which caused Mr. Spencer to turn around in confusion at the cloaked figure's sudden departure. Mr. Spencer's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. "Ahh, Ms. Thompson, I was beginning to think you got me excited about this venture only to abandon me." Seeing her, his face lit up, and Aakifahlynn got right to it. She had little time, "Mr. Spencer, I would never. As you can imagine, my day was hectic preparing for my trip." Aakifahlynn's eyes twinkled, a warm smile on her face. "However, I am still running on borrowed time. Shall we get straight to it?" "Yes, please, come this way." But Aak

***WARNING*** Violent and Triggering content "None of the girls he interacted with would return to him; they prefer to end their lives." Tigana thought it best to describe it differently from what Peter started saying. However, he did not know if he did an excellent job as he stared at Ms. Thompson's face, filled with shock and horror. D@mn it, his finesse was terrible. Aakifahlynn had only thrown out the question, curious about what Mr. High and Mighty were doing in this kind of environment after dark. She even doubted it was him, but the inner part of her wanted to know if it was. She even wondered if it was him, though. What was he doing here? Maybe undoubtedly scheming the demise of Queen Luna with her husband, she asked herself if he was going to see Mr. Spencer and what type of business they did together. Which suddenly had her uneasy, wondering if she could trust Mr. Spencer after all. But Aakifahlynn was not prepared for THAT answer. Well, at least the good news is, firs

That night, Aakifahlynn took a while to calm down. She was hyped, and the long bath did nothing to calm her sprinting heart. Her adrenaline was still fully activated as her mind replayed the events.She had ensured she scrubbed every trace of blood and shampooed her hair. She had also checked on her garments by the time she was through with her bath.They were almost gone, but she threw in some more wood just to make sure the flames got all of it.Aakifahlynn suddenly laughed out loud at her crazy and impulsive move as she laid on her bed. She had been planning everything perfectly. This was out of character for her. What was she doing?Goddess forbid she woke up to the castle guards at her door in the morning.How could she be so reckless? And yet, Aakifahlynn could not bring herself to regret her decision. She recalled Elder Zev's confused face and laughed like a maniac. 'He must have been so muddled, wondering what madness she was spouting.’Soon the laughter died a sudden death, a
