he read something from the paper. “Are you here to meet the Alpha of Shine Moon Pack?”
he inquired. Upon hearing that I was Alpha Benjamin’s adoptive daughter, he assumed that I would also have Alpha blood. So he did not inquire about me further.
“Yes,”
I nodded, feeling a deep sense of relief when he didn’t ask for the invitation. I recalled picking it up from the table before leaving. Did I drop it somewhere? “Could you tell me if the Alpha has already arrived at the ball?”
I asked.
“Yes, he’s here and waiting for you. Please, allow me to show you the way,”
he replied with a smile.
“Thank you so much,”
I returned the smile and followed him.
I was relieved that I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily to meet with the Alpha. His notorious nature turned out to be helpful as he simply wanted to discuss business. I anticipated quickly concluding the meeting and returning to my babies!
Lost in my thoughts, I was unaware that back in the room, Lori had woken up. “Brother, I found this invitation in the living room,”
she hurried over to Wyatt, who was pouring her a glass of water. He always slept lightly and would instantly know when Lori woke up, shadowing her until he put her back to bed.
Wyatt frowned upon seeing the invitation, “It looks like mommy accidentally dropped it.”
He bit his lips, “Mommy can’t attend the ball without the invitation,”
he remarked.
“Then brother, let’s take this invitation to her!”
Lori suggested, her eyes shining with excitement at the idea of the chance to get out of the hotel room.
“Okay, but we will return as soon as we deliver it to mommy,”
Wyatt pointed.
“Okay, okay!”
she nodded then hurried to put on her small skirt and top.
Once dressed, they both left the hotel room together with the invitation that gave them the location of the ball. They crossed into the hallway and headed toward the elevator but encountered a hurdle at the door. Being short, they couldn’t reach the elevator button-it was placed too high for their little hands to reach.
Lori glanced around and noticed two long legs in front of her. She lifted her gaze up to find a man dressed in black with a cold, sharp aura. Tugging at the man’s trousers, she said, “Uncle, can you please press that button for me?”
As the sweet, childish voice reached the man’s ears, he looked down at the two children who barely reached his knees. His green eyes flickered between the boy and girl, who were holding hands. Studying them carefully his gaze trembled uncontrollably.
His gaze was fixed first on the little girl’s stunning big blue eyes. Those innocent blue orbs and her small lovely face seemed oddly familiar. Unable to resist, he reached down to touch the little girl’s soft cheek. She felt as soft as a doll. Never in his life had he had the desire to touch a child but at that moment, his hand had a mind of its own.
“Uncle,”
a small yet authoritative hand suddenly stopped him from touching Lori’s cheek any more. The man glanced at the boy standing beside the little girl, emanating a sharp and protective aura. When the two sets of green eyes met it caused the man to abruptly halt. His wolf stirred within his mind and reflected in his eyes as he looked at the child. Those green eyes they were the same as “Please, can you help us call the elevator door?”
Wyatt asked, interrupting the tense moment.
The man tore his eyes away from the children, straightened up, and pressed the elevator button. After a few minutes, when the elevator door opened, one tall and two small figures quietly walked inside together. The man had his hands tucked into his pockets as he glanced at the two little ones beside him. Their little hands obviously could not reach the buttons again, “Which floor?”
Wyatt looked up at the man and replied, “The top floor please, where the Alpha Ball is being held.”
The man pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator began its ascent.
“Thank you, uncle,”
Lori and Wyatt said simultaneously as they smiled at him. Their sweet, childlike voices were pleasant to hear. The man couldn’t help but give a slight nod in acknowledgment as he glanced down at the two of them whispering to each other.
Brother, mommy says not to talk to strangers but this uncle helped us, Lori whispered to Wyatt. And he is handsome too!’ Wyatt secretly glanced at the man from head to toe. He does not look like those men that he had chased away from his mommy before.
The man acted as if he was not listening to their whispers, “Why are you two going to the Alpha Ball?”
he asked in a slow yet authoritative tone. It was evident that the man seldom engaged in conversation or concerned himself with anyone else’s affairs, yet he was doing so at that moment.
“We’re going to find our mommy,”
Wyatt replied.
“Why?”
the man raised his brows.
“She forgot her invitation in the room. We’re bringing it to her,”
he explained. The man glanced at the invitation in Wyatt’s hand, noticing its golden hue typically given to the second powerful packs.
“Which pack are you from?”
he questioned.
“We don’t live here. We’re just visiting our grandpa’s pack for the first time ”
Lori mentioned.
The man paused, surprised by this being their first visit here. He turned to look at them. “How old are you two?”
“Five years old,”
Lori held up one hand displaying five little fingers.
The man’s expression darkened. “What’s your mommy’s name?”

“You’re quite the drinker, Miss Willow,”
remarked Alpha Alex, the Alpha of the Shine Moon Pack, pushing another glass toward me.
We stood alone on the balcony on the top floor of the hotel, far from the other guests. If it hadn’t been for the peace treaty, I would have declined his offer of wine, let alone be alone with him.
“Thank you, Alpha Alex,”
I said with a sweet smile as I accepted the glass, “Honestly, I wasn’t expecting you to be so young. It seems the rumors about you are false,”
