LOGINThird PersonAs Karine walked back to the quarters, her mind was no longer set on helping Yella. For someone who had grown up with the kind of father she had, she had expected better. But then again, Yella was still unable to fully identify her father as the villain of her life. How had she expected her to see the darkness in Fredrick?By nightfall, a full-course meal had been prepared. Yella was dressed in her best—a red gown that flowed to the floor. Her hair was held up in a nice, clean ponytail.Yella couldn't contain herself. She didn't even notice Moreen had been unusually quiet all through the day. She was more focused on appealing to Frederick, and the moment a guard came with news of his arrival, Yella quickly ordered dinner to be served.And yes, Fredrick Leonard came.He gave a little smile and complimented her dress."Come have dinner with me," Yella invited him excitedly.Fredrick didn't decline. He stepped in, and outside, Marvin stood with Moreen and Owell. All three sh
Third personAll through the day, Yella did things she never would have thought she would in her life. Elise and the others had always handled her meals. She didn't know her way around the kitchen, much less cooking, but here she was standing before a cooker, her hair tied backward, an apron on, and her hands carefully cutting tomatoes with Moreen explaining every process.Yella wasn't in a hurry. All she wished for was for the meal to be edible and, by the Goddess's grace, delicious enough for Leonard to want more.Everything didn't move swiftly. Rather, it was a mountain of tries and miserable results. One was so burned it couldn't be tasted. But Moreen was patient. She directed her through every step. Yella had begun chopping the spices so finely that the other maids within the kitchen couldn't help but chuckle, but they made sure she heard none of it. Yella coughed, choked on the bad taste, and gagged on the smell of some spices she didn't know the names of, then teared up while
Third personTaron Caswell looked up from his wine glass and cigarette.“What time?” he asked coldly.“Dawn… the first ray,” Team answered.He gestured with his hand for him to leave, and without delay Team walked out, though he seemed to have more to say. He swallowed the rest of his words.That night, the kingdom was fully aware of the calamity that had befallen the Caswell home.From the elderly to children, they mourned Mrs. Caswell.She was a woman of little status, but she never made those around her feel the gap society had placed between them.She helped everyone when she could.She always wore a smile.Even when Yella became a nuisance, chasing after any female who had so much as smiled in the alpha’s direction, it was her mother who went around after every fight apologizing for her daughter's wrongdoing.She wasn't only admired but also loved, which couldn't be said about her husband.While the news of Mrs. Caswell spread throughout the pack and the realm, within Fredrick’s
Third personRather than giving everyone the emotional reaction they were expecting to use as an excuse to tear her apart, Liora walked quietly inside.“You see… she knows what happened to my wife,” Taron Caswell accused.Liora’s steps froze midair. She stood for a second as if contemplating defending herself, then slowly resumed her path inside.But not everyone was as calm as she was.No one had seen Emade move. She was so swift it was like lightning, and before the guards or anyone else could react, she was before Taron Caswell. Quickly, she grabbed him by the collar. She was an alpha, one from a powerful bloodline. An old beta was nothing before her.Taron Caswell swallowed hard.“What... what did you say?” Emade asked.Taron Caswell dared not meet her eyes. Quickly, he lowered his gaze.Frank quickly stepped forward and held her hand.“My princess, you shouldn't,” he whispered.Emade scoffed and let the old man fall to the ground.“Why? I am not my brother or his wife. And if you
Third personThe sun had just begun spreading its rays through Darkmoon when the guards made shift changes within the Alpha's estate. Those who had stayed up for the night shift went to freshen up, eat something, and then get some rest, while the new energetic takeovers roamed the compound, checking anything and everything out of place. The same process was carried out outside the estate yard. Two guards walked around the Alpha's estate, and when they were sure all was okay, they walked back towards the gate. But from a little distance, they noticed something. It looked more like a person lying on the ground, so without thinking further, they quickly brought out their weapons and sprinted towards the figure.She was dressed in female clothing, and her face was turned to the ground. The guards glanced at each other. Crime wasn't common in this part of the pack. Not only was it the safest area, but no one dared come close to the Alpha's estate. They didn't think much of it."It must be
Third personMrs. Caswell quickly stepped forward and crumbled to her knees before the Alpha.Kael didn't react. He just watched her coldly."Please... save my daughter," she begged. Tears streamed down her face without effort.Staring at the woman before him, Kael noticed she had aged so much since they last met. Her face now carried wrinkles, and though her hair was wrapped, loose strands of grey peeked through. She looked fragile, almost weak."I know I am asking for too much after everything that happened and the role my family played, but Kael, I have no one else to turn to. She is all I've got," she murmured. Her lips shivered with every word.Kael let out a heavy breath. It wasn't as if he didn't want to save Yella, but saving her meant losing too much."I can't save one person and let an entire pack perish," he said calmly.Mrs. Caswell's face hardened."Please don't say that. That's Yella, Kael. That's the same girl who played and ran around you. She once worshipped you like
