Chapter 201: Little Boy

Astrid's POV

Ever since Beta Alek came back, my life has become peaceful and easy lately. All my jobs as the acting Beta was passed back to Beta Alek now that he's back to take his position. For three years, I've been wishing to have an easy life where I don't have to deal with any problems and have the freedom to do what I want.

Now that I have what I want, why do I miss the time when I was busy worrying and thinking about work again?

"Here you are," Daphne's familiar voice sounded behind me.

I didn't bother to turn around. I knew it was her. Daphne is the only close friend that I had in the Shadowfang Pack. Aside from her, no one would bother to come looking for me here. "What's wrong?" Daphne asked as she stood beside me. "Thinking of Alpha Drystan again?"

I scoffed when I heard her question. Every time that I'm alone or deep in my thoughts, she always suspects that it has something to do with Drystan.

She is really so convinced that I have feelings for Drystan. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in practice? Do you want me to report to Beta Alek that you're out here slacking during practice?"

"Okay, fine... Why do you have to be so serious? I was just asking you a question," Daphne frowned at me.

"If you have nothing else better to do, you should go back and practice," I muttered as I turned around to leave since Daphen already ruined my moment of silence.

"W-wait!" Daphne grabbed me by the arm, stopping me. "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you know that I left practice to meet you? I just miss you. I've never seen you ever since Beta Alek took place on your job."
