#Chapter 50: A Little Help
Abby
“You… Want to help?”
I’m taken aback. It’s not quite like Karl to willingly offer help, especially in the middle of the night like
this. In fact, the very thought of it instantly whisks me back to a memory that was buried in the deep
recesses of my mind from when we were married. novelbin
“Karl, could you pass me the pepper?” I had called out from our spa cious kitchen, my hands full as I
tried to juggle several trays of h ors d’oeuvres.
New Year’s Eve was tonight, and I had wanted to throw an unforgettable party for our friends. I had
spent days now focusing on my preparations. Everything had to be perfect.
The house was buzzing with energy. But instead of the joyful kind, it felt tense.
Karl’s se rvants moved around the house like shadows, silently and efficiently, executing his orders.

involved in the preparations.

His face was buried in his phone, undoubtedly dealing with some Alpha matters. The life of the leader
of our pack was never easy, and often the weight of it all rested heavily on his shoulders.
But this party was important to me. A fresh start, a new year, a way to reconnect with Karl after what
felt like months of him being distant.
“I want to do it,” I had insisted, rolling up my sleeves. “This is something I enjoy.”
Karl had only shot me a brief glance, his chocolatey eyes filled with the kind of exasperation you’d
expect from someone juggling the weight of the world.
“You always make things more difficult than they need to be,” he had muttered.
