Chapter 88JasonAs I walked through the grand entrance of my mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. The palace can be quite overwhelming at times, especially with all the politics and backstabbing that goes on. But here, in my own home, I could relax and let my guard down.My servants were bustling about, each one focused on their respective tasks. Maria, my head maid, was organizing the schedule for the next day, while John, the butler, was overseeing the preparation of the dining room for dinner. The sound of pots and pans clattering could be heard from the kitchen, where the chef and his team were hard at work.I made my way to the study, where I could read the mysterious letter in peace. The room was quiet and dimly lit, with only the flickering flame of the fireplace providing any illumination. The smell of old books and leather filled the air, adding to the sense of nostalgia that always accompanied me in this room.As I opened the letter, I couldn't help but feel
Chapter 89DavinaIt's been a few weeks since my aunt Miley arrived at the Antarti Park Palace, and to say she's been a handful would be an understatement. She's always been an overly nosey, overly strict woman who always has an opinion on everything and everyone, but being stuck in close quarters with her is enough to drive anyone insane.The thing that's been bothering me the most is her constant nagging about why I'm not pregnant yet. As the mate of the alpha, she seems to think it's my duty to produce an heir to the throne as soon as possible. Every time we're alone together, she brings it up, asking me when I'm going to start trying, and even going so far as to ask if there's something wrong with me.I try to brush it off, but it's becoming harder and harder to ignore. I don't want to talk about my personal life with her, but she keeps prying and prying until I can't take it anymore.One day, as we're sitting in the living room, she brings it up again. "Davina, dear, have you and
Chapter 90KeithKeith sat on the couch, sipping his beer, and watched as Miley, Davina's aunt, continued to pester her about why she wasn't pregnant yet."I mean, you've been married for almost two years now. Don't you want to have kids?" Miley asked, her voice dripping with judgment.Davina rolled her eyes and tried to change the subject. "We're just enjoying being married right now, Aunt Miley. Kids will come when they come."Miley wasn't satisfied with that answer. "Well, you're not getting any younger, Davina. You should start thinking about these things."Keith chuckled to himself, finding the whole situation quite entertaining. "Looks like your aunt is really invested in your reproductive plans," he joked, nudging Davina with his elbow.Davina gave him a grateful smile before turning back to her aunt. "Look, Aunt Miley, I appreciate your concern, but Keith and I are happy with where we're at right now. And besides, it's not really anyone else's business."Miley huffed and cross
Chapter 91DavinaAs I sat in my palace, enjoying a cup of tea and reading a book, my younger brother Daniel suddenly barged in, looking agitated."Hey, Davina, can we talk?" he asked, his voice trembling."Of course, Daniel. What's wrong?" I put down my book and gave him my full attention."I'm tired of all the constant family drama," he said, taking a deep breath. "It's been too much lately. And I can't take it anymore."I frowned, feeling a pang of guilt. I knew exactly what he was talking about. Aunt Miley had been a constant source of stress for us all, but I never imagined that it was affecting Daniel this much."I'm sorry, Daniel. I didn't realize it was affecting you this much. Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder."I don't know. I just feel like I need to get away from all this," he said, shaking his head.I knew exactly what he meant. Daniel had a tendency to run away in the dead of night and change his last name whenever he felt overw
Chapter 92It was a beautiful day at Antarti Park, the sun was shining and the air was crisp. I was excited to spend the day with my wife's younger brother Daniel, who was visiting us for the first time. As the alpha of the park, I knew I had to show him around and make sure he had a great time."Welcome to Antarti Park, Daniel! I'm so glad you're here," I said as I gave him a warm hug."Thanks, Keith. I've heard so much about this place and I can't wait to see it all," Daniel replied with a big smile on his face.We started our tour by visiting the penguin exhibit, where Daniel was in awe of the adorable creatures waddling around."They're so cute! I can't believe how many there are," Daniel exclaimed."I know, right? They're one of our most popular attractions. And they're pretty social too, so you might even get to interact with them," I said as I led him closer to the exhibit.Sure enough, a group of penguins waddled over to us, curious about our presence. Daniel couldn't resist r
Chapter 93Jason As I sat in the living room of Davina's palace, I noticed Aunty Miley's strange behavior. She seemed jittery and constantly checking her phone. I knew there was more to her visit than just catching up with her niece."Aunty Miley, is everything okay? You seem a bit on edge," I asked, trying to start a conversation.She looked up at me, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, Jason, I didn't see you there," she said, quickly composing herself.I raised an eyebrow at her response. "Is there something you need to tell me, Aunty? I sense that something is not right here."Aunty Miley shifted uncomfortably in her seat, then leaned in closer to me. "Jason, I have a message for you from someone. But it's not something I can say out loud."I leaned in closer as well, intrigued by her cryptic message. "Who is it from, Aunty? And what is it about?""It's from Maueve, the amulet thief," she whispered. "She wants to meet with you to discuss some important plans."I felt a cold sh
Chapter 94 KeithI kept a close eye on our surroundings, making sure that there were no further disturbances.As we walked, Daniel continued to ask me questions about our way of life. "So what happens if someone doesn't follow the rules of the pack?" he asked."It depends on the severity of the offense," I replied. "Minor transgressions can be dealt with through a warning or a small punishment. But if someone does something truly unforgivable, they may be banished from the pack."Daniel nodded, taking in the information. "It seems like a lot of responsibility to keep everyone in line.""It is, but it's also a privilege. Being the alpha means that I have the power to protect and provide for my pack. It's a role that I take very seriously," I said, my tone serious.We continued to walk through the market, passing by stalls selling all sorts of goods, from fresh produce to handmade crafts. The vendors all greeted me warmly, and I introduced Daniel to a few of them."This is a great plac
Chapter 95JasonI wake up early, as I always do. I get dressed and head to the kitchen to make breakfast. It's a simple meal, but it's enough to get me through the day. As I eat, I can't help but think about the past.The treason charges were a heavy blow to me. I had always been loyal to the pack, but I made a mistake. A mistake that cost me my position as an active werewolf. I knew I had to pay the price for my actions.But the worst part was losing the trust of my friends, especially the alpha. We used to spend so much time together, hunting and patrolling the pack territory. But now, he barely acknowledges me during council meetings.I attend the council meeting at the palace, as I do every week. I sit quietly as the others discuss pack business. I know they've reinstated me as beta, but I don't expect much. They're just trying to be polite.As the meeting comes to an end, the alpha approaches me. I brace myself for whatever cruel treatment he has in store."Hey, Jason," he says,
