actions surpassed my initial impressions.

“Wait, Carl. You said Raina acted up suddenly for sreasons. | guess you skipped that part, what reasons?”

“Woah, that’s huge ness. You don’t mean it.” He took a pause to look atfor a while. “I always knew a day like

“That's enough, Donald, you don’t need to remind me. | don’t know how or why things is that way when it comes

Mid-conversation with Donald, an unexpected interruption broke the room's peace as a panicked guard burst in.

SIDONNIE’S POV

Amid the clatter of plates and the steady hum of restaurant, my colleagues eagerly delved into the previous

day's spectacle. Sarah, perched on the edge of a table, animatedly shared her account of a situation going on in

the pack.

“Can you believe the elegance, Emma? The entire venue was dripping in opulence. And Alpha Carlyle-oh, he

looked like a dream!” Sarah's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, her words painting a vivid picture of the lavish

affair.

Emma, who usually remained aloof from office gossip, chimed in with a smirk. “Well, well, aren't we all caught up

in the romantic fervor? I still don’t get why we should care about the Alpha Raina’s love life. It’s not like it affects

our work.”

But beneath Emma's dismissive tone, | sensed a subtle curiosity that mirrored my own. | decided to probe a bit,

casually joining the conversation.

“True, Emma, but you know how these things go. There's always more than meets the eye. Did you notice

anything unusual?”

A hushed exchange followed as Sarah and Emma shared glances, a silent

acknowledgment of the unspoken mysteries surrounding the union. Sarah leaned in, lowering her voice. “Rumors

say she wants to have the Alpha’s rival as her betrothed.”

Emma raised an eyebrow, intrigued despite herself. “Isn’t that Alpha Carlyle, Alpha of Moon Shade that you're

talking about?”

“Of course, he is. | heard he really embarrassed her too.”
