As I approached the grand chamber where he awaited, Uncle Benedict turned his gaze towards me, revealing an unexpected softness in his demeanor. The weight of the moment hung in the air, and I felt a mixture of trepidation and curiosity.

“Uncle Benedict,” I began, my voice steady despite the flutter in my chest. “May I present my sister, Annette.”

“Thank you, Jake,” he replied, his voice smooth and reassuring. “I will take it from here.”

With a gracious gesture, Uncle Benedict extended his arm toward me. I hesitated for just a heartbeat, but then chose to accept his offer instead of Jake’s. The warmth of his presence enveloped me, and as I slipped my arm through his, I could sense Jake’s silent approval. He dipped his head in a subtle bow, a gesture of respect, before retreating into the shadows, leaving me alone with the formidable Alpha King.

“My brother has informed me of your unfortunate predicament,” he said, his tone laced with empathy. “It seems you have lost your memory.”

“I have,” I confirmed, my heart heavy with the truth. “I don’t recall anything from before six years ago.”

He let out a thoughtful hum, the sound echoing softly in the vast chamber. “A pity, indeed. So, you don’t remember me? Or this palace? Or the events that transpired before that dreadful accident?”

His words carried a weight that pressed against my chest. I could sense his disappointment, and it stirred a sense of urgency within me. The thought of disappointing him, even in this fleeting moment, felt unbearable.
