[Eskaal’s pov]

Returning to my home in Gravestone pack after weeks away, I could feel the tension in the air even before I entered. The grand entrance hall, adorned with the mockery I had received and dimly lit by flickering torches, seemed to hold an atmosphere of impending confrontation. I took a deep breath knowing that my father would be awaiting, steeling myself for the inevitable clash that awaited.

As I stepped into the hall, my father stood there, a formidable figure with a stern expression etched upon his weathered face. His eyes, the same shade of intense blue as mine, bore into me with a mixture of disappointment and anger.

"Eskaal," he began, his voice a low growl that seemed to reverberate through the very walls. "Where have you been?" His voice carried a blend of anger and concern. Sure enough, as I stepped into the grand foyer, his stern voice echoed through the halls. I knew it was coming and was inevitable.

I met his gaze evenly, my jaw clenched in defiance. "I have

    The beta Liam sat on the edge of his bed after Clara was gone, he started staring out of his window at the rain-soaked streets below. The tapping of raindrops against the glass seemed to echo the tumultuous thoughts swirling in his mind. Meagia, his daughter whom he had picked up from the forest, had moved on and found herself a new boyfriend. It had been several months since he had disowned her and threw Meagia out, and Liam had done his best to move on as well from the idea of having two daughters. But tonight, as the rain fell and the memories flooded back, he found himself unable to shake off the feeling that he needed to see her again.He rubbed his temples, his fingers tracing the contours of his furrowed brow. "Should I ask my man if he has found her or not?" he mumbled to himself. He knew he shouldn't be meddling in her life, especially now that she was with someone else.

    Liam's footsteps echoed on the cobblestone streets as he approached Eskaal's house. His anxiety grew when he knew that there was no other person who could tell him about her other than her mate. The air was tense with a mix of guilt, depression and anxiety. He had been searching for Meagia, desperate to find her and reconnect after all these months. And now, he had come to Eskaal, hoping to get some answers. Eskaal's house was a modest one, with vines creeping up the walls and a slightly worn wooden door. Liam hesitated before knocking, his hand hovering for a moment before he rapped his knuckles against the weathered surface. The door swung open, revealing Eskaal, his brows furrowing in surprise at the sight of Liam. "Beta Liam? What are you doing here?" Liam's jaw was clenched, his eyes intense. "I need to talk to you, Eskaal. It's about Meagia.'' The beta seemed genuine though he remained calm to hide his aggression. He wanted to grab Eskaal by collars and confront how did he

    Liam's frustration had reached a boiling point as he stood in front of Eskaal's face once again.
