Shana blinks, clearly taken aback by my openness. She seems pleasantly surprised but doesn’t
comment further on the matter. Instead, she smiles warmly and nods.
“Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.”
As we continue our quiet walk through the garden, I can’t help but wonder if I’m finally letting go of the
past, of the mistakes I made in my relationship with Abby. It’s a small step, but it feels significant.
I just wish that I was making things right with Abby instead.
…
The soft glow of the television screen fills the room as I sit in my office, watching Abby’s interview. She
looks absolutely stunning, her confidence and grace shining through as she speaks.
A smile tugs at my lips, and for a moment, I can’t help but feel a swell of pride and happiness for her.
She’s come a long way, and it’s evident in every word she utters. Her journey from the cook-off to this
moment has been nothing short of remarkable, and I’m glad to see her flourishing.
But then the dreaded question comes. The interviewer wants to know about me, about the mystery
sous chef named ‘Ken’.
Abby pauses, and it’s then that I see it. A flicker of something in her eyes—something that looks like
sadness. I feel my wolf tug at me as she responds, as poised as ever.
“We were old friends,” she says. “He wanted to lend a helping hand when I needed it the most, and…
And I’m incredibly grateful for his support, and I’ll never forget what he did for me.”
As I watch her, my chest tightens, and a fleeting thought crosses my mind. I almost consider picking up
the phone and calling her. I want to hear her voice, not on the television, but directed toward me.
But I can’t. My hand, which was slowly inching toward the phone, drops back to my desk.
She’s in the midst of preparing for the Alpha gathering, and I don’t want to disrupt her focus. Plus,
there’s a nagging doubt in the back of my mind. What if she’s still upset with me? What if my call affects
her ability to perform at the gathering? NôvelDrama.Org © content.
I let out a sigh, torn between the desire to reach out to her and the responsibility that comes with being
an Alpha. Duty wins this time, and I decide to postpone the call.
Instead, I focus on the paperwork spread across my desk. There are meetings to schedule, decisions
to make, and a myriad of tasks that are begging for my attention. The clock is ticking, and I can’t afford
any distractions right now.
As I delve into the work, time slips away, and the television becomes nothing more than background
noise. My mind is consumed by the responsibilities of my position, and before I know it, I’m losing track
of the outside world.
Just when I’m about to delve into a particularly important report, Marcus suddenly bursts into the room,
his expression frantic.
“Karl, you won’t believe this!” he exclaims.
I look up, concern flashing through my eyes. “What’s wrong?”
I blink in shock, my heart pounding in my chest. Ethan, my older brother, who has been in a coma for
years… woke up? I knew that it was supposed to happen soon, but I didn’t expect it to be so sudden.

“Are you serious?” I ask.
