Chapter 221 The Question at Midnight

Third Person POV

Satia opened her mouth, hesitating. “My strength isn’t enough…”

“Where isn’t it enough?” Aubrey pressed.

“I…” Satia’s voice grew weaker, more uncertain. “I’m still too young…”

“Sorry, let me ask you this–how old was your father when he awakened his alpha wolf spirit?” Aubrey suddenly interrupted.

The question caught Satia off guard. She blinked, stunned, before answering, “…Sixteen.”

“I see.” Aubrey nodded, then asked again, “And back then, did your uncles oppose him becoming alpha?”

Satia thought for a moment, her expression shifting. “…No.”

“Oh? Why not? Sixteen is even younger than you are now, isn’t it?” Aubrey smiled. Her ice–blue eyes glimmered like moonlight, cutting through the fog of Satia’s doubts and pulling her deep into thought.

Aubrey didn’t press further. Instead, she slowly rose, slipped off her jacket, and draped it over Satia’s shoulders before quietly leaving. Some things had to be realized on one’s own.

When Aubrey returned to the room, Henry was still awake, waiting for her. Looking at him, she said softly, “That girl… she doesn’t have it easy. Can you help her?”
