Jessica’s POVWith a plain black shirt, grey hoodie, and denim pants, I walked through the marketplace within the kingdom that’s known for being bustling with tons of activities every day, considering that this place was known for trades being made.With my hands in my hoodie pockets, I walked aimlessly as the unsettling feeling from when I talked with Eric lingered within me.The thing was, it wasn’t because of any unresolved feelings, rather, it’s a feeling that something bad would happen and he’d be the cause of it, especially upon seeing how hard he was trying to put himself in the picture again, not just in my life but in the kingdom as well.I just had this feeling that he wasn’t just back for me, and that made me even more alert than usual.“Gamma, good morning! You seem deep in thought!”I was pulled from my thoughts by a cheerful call from one of the vendors on the side.Following the voice, I found that he was selling his own harvested fruits. I ran my hands on the fresh app

Jessica’s POVFred’s brows lift in surprise.

Jessica’s POVFred flinched, his hold on the punching bag tightening as he hid behind it. “Okay… Okay… Let’s keep it co–”Before he could finish his words, I punched the bag he was holding, but not too hard, or he’d be flying away.“Ouch!” Nonetheless, he still dramatically clutched his chest in pain.

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.

Jessica’s POVZane’s expression darkened while I felt a jolt of worry.“He’s trying to turn them against the crown,” I sharply said in realisation.Fred nodded his head. “Seems like it. But here’s the kicker. He’s always buying favors from lower-ranked pack members.”

Jessica’s POV“Eric is getting too comfortable. He’s making connections, gaining influence. We can’t ignore this any longer,” Zane started.After I blew off some steam and was calm enough to make a briefing, we all met back in the meeting room.Poing at the marketplace, Ronald leaned forward and explained, “He’s weaving his way into the ranks from the top to bottom.
