“I choked on my air, coughing violently. Why was he bringing this up again?

Xander poured me a glass of water.

I drank most of it before recovering. “Let’s… just pretend it didn’t happen.”

I need to take responsibility for my actions.”

I realized what he meant and frantically waved my hands.“No, no, no, you don’t need to!”

I said “no” three times, looking utterly terrified.

Xander’s eyes darkened, like falling stars. After a long moment, he chuckled softly. “You said you were brave, yet you’re so easily frightened.”

I sat there holding my cup, silent. The atmosphere was heavy, even with his effort to restrain himself. His alpha presence was only slightly lessened.

I looked down at my cup, its crystal clarity beautiful and illusory, but I knew how easily it could shatter.

Xander got up and left.

I put down my cup and slowly exhaled. Maybe it was the mountain’s magnetic field, or the uncontrollable kiss under the influence of last night’s medication that briefly gave him a delusion, but things would be normal once we got back.

YES, YES, ONCE WE’RE BACK, HE’LL BE NORMAL AGAIN.” My wolf reassured me.

When I went out, Robert was already there. He was reporting to Xander. “Gabriel left before dawn, saying he had a bad case of acute gastroenteritis. His friends left with him.”

Xander nodded, saying nothing.

‘That old geezer ran away too. Looks like Susan already told him what she needed to, I thought.

Gabriel’s departure meant that only Xander would attend the acceptance ceremony.

From ten in the morning until four in the afternoon, Xander attended the acceptance ceremony and lunch, and toured the resort with a group of people. I accompanied him the entire time.

By the time we were ready to return, it was already 4:30. On the way there, Xander had asked me to sit in the back, and I hadn’t thought much of it. The mountain roads were winding, and it was safer to sit in the back. But on the way back, there was no way I’d sit in the back with him.

I opened the car door. Xander got in first, moving over. The meaning was clear.

‘Bang!” I slammed the door shut and got into the front passenger seat.

Xander’s wolf, despite his own discomfort, was mocking him, “YOU BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN AND BLEW IT, DIDN’T YOU?

The driver:“Huh? Why is Ms. Wells sitting in the front? Did they have a fight?*

‘You can drive,” I said to the driver, fastening my seatbelt.

The driver silently started the car.

The ride was extremely quiet. But this silence felt like a storm brewing, or the aftermath of an apocalypse, the pressure so low it was stifling. I didn’t doze off; I sat properly the whole time. The driver couldn’t stand it and wanted to open the window for

ventilation.

As we left the mountains, darkness began to fall. The vibrant lights of the city were faintly visible in the distance.

Xander took a phone call After hanging up, he said to the driver, “Don’t go to the airport.”

He gave the driver the address of a private club.

I slightly turned my head. My ears twitched. I’d heard the call. From the conversation, it seemed to be a close friend. But if he’s going there, could we still get back to MoonCloud Pack tonight?

‘Ms. Wells, if you want to return to MoonCloud Pack first, you can go ahead,” a low, emotionless voice came from behind me.
