I believe it's time for Lucy and me to take a run in the woods. She needs to reconnect with nature, feel the freedom of the wind against her skin."Stanley's eyes widened with concern. "Estella, you know how protective I am of Lucy. It's not safe out there. I can't bear the thought of something happening to her."Estella placed a comforting hand on his arm, her gaze unwavering.

Stanley's face contorted with anger as he stood before Estella, his eyes burning with fury. The betrayal he felt coursed through his veins, threatening to consume him. He couldn't believe that his own sister had orchestrated such a reckless act, jeopardizing everything he had worked for."You dare defy me, Estella?" he seethed, his voice dripping with venom. "After all I have done for you, this is how you repay me? By interfering in my affairs, have you lost your f*cking mind?!"Estella met his gaze, her own eyes filled with a mix of guilt and defiance. "Stanley, just calm down," she pleaded, her voice trembling slightly. "It's nothing. I just….""Don't you dare!..." he growled, throwing a alap across her face, releasing his Alpha aura almost at the same time. "Ask me to calm down."Stanley's nostrils flared as his rage intensified.
