That morning, Aurora woke up earlier than usual. For some reason, ever since arriving in Moonveil, her body had felt much lighter. She no longer woke up feeling anxious or afraid of hearing people gossiping about her. However, there was one thing that actually made her a little uneasy. She remembered her conversation with Cassian the night before.“Because I really do like him.”Aurora covered her face with both hands. “Why did he have to say that?”Her cheeks felt hot just remembering the look in Cassian’s eyes when he said it. Aurora shook her head quickly. No. She shouldn’t dwell on it too much. They’d only known each other for a few days.And besides, Cassian was the Lycan King. As for her? She was just Aurora, a woman who had just been rejected by her own Alpha. Aurora took a deep breath, then decided to head down to the kitchen.At least cooking always helped calm her mind. But as soon as Aurora arrived at the royal kitchen, she immediately noticed something was different. Edgar

That morning, Aurora was sitting at one of the small tables in the royal kitchen, surrounded by sheets of paper covered with numbers. The price of flour, the price of butter, rent, equipment, employee salaries, fuel for the oven, even packaging costs.Aurora let out a long sigh. “Why is everything so expensive?”Edgar, who was chopping vegetables at the next table, just laughed.“Welcome to the business world, Lady Aurora.”Aurora wrinkled her nose. “I’ve only just started calculating, but it feels like my head is about to explode.”“At least now you know what to prepare for.”Aurora nodded. That was what she liked about this plan. For the first time, she wasn’t just dreaming. She was actually thinking about how to make it happen. Aurora looked down again and crossed out a few numbers.“If I reduce the number of tables at the start, the furniture costs could go down.”“Right.”“And I won’t have to hire a lot of people right away.”“Right.”“For the first few months, I can do the cooki

Aurora woke up earlier than usual. It wasn’t because of the servant’s voice. It wasn’t because of the sunlight streaming through the curtains. It was because of a single thought that had been bothering her since last night. Cassian. More specifically, the way he had looked at her at the market.That cold stare when a male vendor offered to help. The way his voice changed when he asked about that man. And what bothered her most of all, Cassian hadn’t said a word. He’d simply stood beside Aurora, letting his presence speak for itself.Aurora shook her head quickly. “Stop thinking about it like that, Aurora.”She got out of bed and smoothed her hair. There was no reason for her to think about a man just because he was jealous.Besides, was Cassian really jealous?Or was Aurora just letting her imagination run wild?When Aurora went down to the dining room, she found Cassian already sitting there. He was reading some documents. Aurora paused for a moment. As usual, Cassian was wearing sim

Cassian was still standing in the hallway after leaving the kitchen. The faint smile that had appeared on his face hadn’t quite faded yet. Aurora had called his name. Not “Your Majesty.” Not “King.” Just “Cassian.” For some reason, those two syllables felt far more precious than any title of respect he was used to receiving.“Looks like I’ll have to get used to it.” Gareth’s voice came from behind him.Cassian opened his eyes. “Get used to what?”“To smiling.”Cassian turned his head, his expression blank. “I’m not smiling.”Gareth stifled a laugh. “Of course not.”They walked down the hallway. But after just a few steps, Gareth stopped.“By the way, Lady Evelyne has returned to her residence.”Cassian nodded. “Good.”“She sent her regards.”“Tomorrow I’ll send someone to escort her back if she needs to come.”Gareth looked at Cassian. “You don’t need to worry too much. Evelyne can take care of herself.”“I know.”Gareth gave a faint smile. “Interesting.”“What?”“You sound like someo

The morning at the Silver Pine Pack felt quieter than usual. Not because there was no one around. Quite the opposite, everyone was busy. The pack’s kitchen was filled with the clanging of pots, the chopping of knives, and the servers scrambling to prepare breakfast for all the pack members. Yet nothing was going smoothly.The soup was too salty. The bread was too hard. The meat that was supposed to be saved for dinner was already gone before noon. Even the medicine supply was running low again.“Who’s in charge of the kitchen today?” asked one of the pack members.No one answered. Everyone just stared at each other. In the past, questions like that had never come up. Because Aurora had always been there for all of them. Aurora always knew how much food was needed. Aurora knew when to restock supplies.Aurora also knew who was allergic to certain ingredients, who was sick, and who needed extra food after practice. And now, everyone was just realizing how much Aurora had done without ev
