Emilia’s POVAs I sat in the car, my gaze fixed on the group of elegantly dressed werewolves before me. The city's modern skyline loomed in the background, a stark contrast to the hidden power these werewolves held. These werewolves emanated an aura of enigma, yet their fighting prowess was undeniably potent. Adjusting my camera, I discreetly snapped a photo of the rogue pack.Just as I was engrossed in my discovery, my phone pinged, and I saw a message from Daisy, my cute niece.

Sophia's POVAs I sat in the car, the soft hum of the engine providing a soothing backdrop, I couldn't help but become engrossed in the conversation drifting from the phone held by Alexander, Alexander. It wasn't intentional eavesdropping, more of a coincidental occurrence that had my curiosity piqued.And then I heard it—the line that made my cheeks flush with embarrassment: "You're finally managing to lure my sister-in-law back to your den." My heart skipped a beat, and a mixture of emotions flooded my chest. Embarrassment mingled with a spark of amusement, a unique concoction that left me feeling both flustered and oddly pleased.As the call ended and Alexander placed the phone down, my gaze shifted from the passing scenery to his profile. His features were composed, but there was a hint of something in his eyes, a mix of mild annoyance and something else—amusement, perhaps? He turned his attention to me, as if sensing my gaze, and I couldn't help but break into a sheepish smile."
Alexander’s POV "Why didn't the werewolf tribe move to the human world like we did?" Sophia asked, her tone curious and contemplative.I glanced at her, her features bathed in the soft glow of the car's interior lights. It was a question I had pondered myself, a complex topic that held within it the echoes of history, tradition, and the delicate balance between two worlds."Well," I began, my voice thoughtful, "it's not as simple as just moving to a new location."She nodded, her gaze locked onto me as if she was seeking a deeper understanding. "I mean, our current location is relatively remote, and the transportation here isn't as advanced as it is in the human world."A moment of silence stretched between us, the weight of her words hanging in the air. It was true—our territory, nestled in the heart of nature, was a far cry from the bustling human cities we had visited. But there was a reason for that, one that went beyond mere convenience.I exhaled softly, my gaze drifting to the
Sophia's POVAs I stood there beside Alexander, facing his grandfather's stern gaze, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nervousness and curiosity. Teddy Williams's nod hinted that I wasn't entirely unknown to him – Alexander must have mentioned me before. But his first question caught me off guard, causing my cheeks to flush slightly."Is she your surrogate wife?" he inquired, his tone as unyielding as his expression.Alexander's jaw tightened, his displeasure evident. It was a reaction I'd seen before, the result of others trivializing our relationship with that term. Without skipping a beat, he stepped slightly in front of me, as if instinctively sheltering me from the harshness of his grandfather's words."No, Grandfather," Alexander retorted firmly, his voice tinged with a protective edge. "She's not a surrogate anything. She's a woman who means a lot to me."The air seemed to thicken as the tension hung between them. I exchanged a quick glance with our children, but they also look
