Chapter 117

Nora glanced at her watch before standing up. "I'm heading out first. You guys should eat,"

Her voice was light, but Alex sensed the distance in her tone. He hesitated, reluctant to let her go.

He wasn't sure why, but a subtle unease gnawed at him. Still, he knew better than to hold her back,

The old woman clenched her fists on the other end of the link. Arnold had always been a dutiful grandson, respecting the family's wishes even when they did not align with his own. But now, as Alpha, his authority was absolute.
