Amber’s POV

All my emotions today disappeared the moment I saw Peter.

He was still the same, standing at the door in an impeccably tailored suit, exuding grace and poise, his face forever adorned with a calm and gentle smile.

I had come to Kayla's house secretly, and no one knew why I had suddenly disappeared.

I thought Peter would be angry when he saw me, but he still maintained his politeness and decorum.

His presence seemed to be a wake-up call for me, like a gust of cold wind.

I instantly realized how immature I had been. With our wedding, many nobles and business magnates came to our city.

It was a great opportunity for both our families to engage in socializing and expand our business and political influences.

As the future alpha and luna, Peter and I needed to engage in various social activities with them.

We had to converse with everyone over jewelry and champagne, gathering useful information and support. For the upper echelons of society, relationships were like a web.

In an instant, my surroundings turned pitch black, and my senses became heightened.Peter lowered his body, his tall and strong frame enveloping me.

    Harrison’s POV"I've told you before, mom, I have plans for the evening..."I made a conscious effort to suppress the annoyance and anxiety brought on by work as I pushed open the door to the VIP room.The first person I saw wasn't my mother, Blair, but a woman who stood up nervously as the door creaked open.I took a moment to study her somewhat familiar face before shifting my gaze to my mother."Oh, Harrison, I forgot to introduce you. This is Olivia Russell. Her father was your father's beta. You two met when you were kids. You remember her, don't you?" Blair said."I'm sorry, but I have no recollection," I replied, paying no mind to my mother's embarrassed expression as I took a seat across the long table."Well, it's been many years, and it's perfectly normal that you don't remember her," Blair reassured Olivia, who had turned pale and returned to her seat."After all, you were both very young at the time. Olivia was sent abroad by her father when your father had his troubles, a

Where are you taking me?"Harrison stared ahead at the road, his tone calm as he replied, "Home."I turned my head, trying to discern the surroundings, but my blurry vision didn't provide a clear answer.I searched my foggy mind for the source of my unease, and then a flashing idea struck me."Daisy!"

He exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down my spine.Harrison suppressed his temper, stood up from the bed, and casually grabbed a piece of clothing to drape over himself.Just as he was about to stride out of the room, he glanced back at me and said, "Get dressed, stay here.""I see," I replied immediately.Facing Harrison's current wrathful demeanor, I complied without hesitation.I fastened my disheveled clothing, tidied up my hair, and then sat on the bed, hugging a pillow, losing my mind.As the time I spent waiting grew longer, the chaos outside escalated.Filled with worry for Harrison, I quietly opened the bedroom door and followed the sounds of the argument all the way to the living room."I don't
