When I woke up in the guest room the next morning, the courtyard was already piled high with goods.

They had all been sent overnight by the Kazeks.

Crates of tonics, rare medicinal herbs, and several sets of small clothes and shoes, all hastily tailored through the night.

Roger had even ordered someone to bring out a pristine white tiger pelt from the storeroom, saying it would be best for Astra’s bones if it were laid on his bed.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the main hall.

The air still carried traces of grief, but what weighed heavier now was the sober gravity of planning for the future.

“Cindy,” Roger said at last. He glanced at Astra beside me, who was quietly drinking his porridge, then hesitated before speaking. “Now that Astra is back, his treatment and recovery are what matter most.

“Our home may not be as grand as the ducal estate,” he continued, rubbing his hands together, his gaze flickering slightly, “but we have people. We can take meticulous care of him.

“And… your marriage to Prince Adam is drawing near,” he added more cautiously. “His Highness is a good man, but it is still the royal family. A prince’s household. Bringing your nephew to live there might not be convenient. And with treatment involved, the blood and medicine… they may not welcome it.”

“So Fiona and I talked it over,” Roger said quietly. “Why not let Astra stay with us to recover? We will love him like our own son.”

I set down my cutlery.

I understood Roger’s kindness.

He was worried Astra might be wronged in Prince Adam’s household. Living under another’s roof was

never easy.

And in werewolf society, even cubs brought by a mate, if not born of the bloodline, often faced instinctive rejection.

“Roger,” I began, preparing to explain.

“No.”

The voice that cut through the room was old, yet unwavering.

Maya straightened in her seat with the help of two maids.

Though her vision was nearly gone, the authority of the matriarch had not diminished in the slightest.

Chapter 211 Where Astra Should Live

“Grandmother?” Roger froze.

“Astra cannot stay with the Kazeks,” Maya said, striking her cane firmly against the floor. “He must stay with Cindy. And in the future, he must live in Prince Adam’s household.”

“Why?” Roger blurted out. “We are not incapable of caring for him. Why send the child to suffer there?”

“Foolish!” Maya snapped.
