390 Reunion with the Alpha (part 2)

The Alpha's question swirled through her troubled mind: Why am I here?

Adela was present because this Alpha, whose dominant blue aura exuded a strong sense of authority, had attacked and injured her husband when he was just a boy. She had come because Egon von Conradie was too stubborn to listen to her advice and complete his transformation. But above all, she was here to fight for Egon's life, motivated by the long-ago revelation that the werewolves' magic was ancient.

Her gaze lowered to Marcus's large, bare feet as she contained her emotions, trying to wrangle her thoughts while seeking the right words. And the conversation between Marcus and Noctavian beside her seemed to drift from a distance.

"What's bothering your mother, pup?"

"Our time together has not yet arrived. Focus on her."

"I should have checked in with you more regularly. It's always a hassle when the heirs of the Empress change hands so frequently due to your short lifespans."
