Freya's POVA few minutes later, the trial continued. I sat back in the plaintiff's seat. Both lawyers continued to spar with each other. The defense lawyer's skill was truly on par with Finley's, but Finley had the upper hand since our evidence was strong. The defense struggled to present new evidence and gradually found themselves at a disadvantage. As the arguments from both sides concluded, the scene shifted to multiple deliberations before the verdict was delivered.The defendant was found guilty of defamation and immediately issued a public apology on Facebook and other platforms. They agreed to apologize publicly for over seven days and compensate me, the plaintiff, for moral damages, lost wages, and other costs, totaling five hundred thousand dollars. This outcome was within my expectations. After the trial, reporters who had been waiting for interviews swarmed around me as I left the cour

Freya's POVOver the next few days, I was in a rush to reach the theater and catch up. I needed to better prepare myself for life with the kids later on. When I got home after finishing up, I fell asleep and woke up around noon the following day.As the future godmother of the child, Novia had the day off and went grocery shopping to buy a variety of ingredients. She intended to prepare a delicious meal at home today for me. Unlike my cooking skills, which haven't improved in the past few years, Novia's culinary skills are exceptional. Whenever she had some free time, she would cook delicious meals in different styles, and I would simply play a role in cleaning up and doing the dishes.However, today, I woke up late, and Novia's meal was almost ready when I finally got up. While serving the meal, Novia casually asked me, "Is Kevin reliable?""He should be reliable," I replied, taking a bite of food when my cell phone suddenly vibrated. Kevin

Kingsley's POVI couldn't explain why, but I sat in my office for a long time, unable to concentrate. For some reason, Freya's face kept popping into my head, which felt like a bad omen.I shook my head, attempting to calm myself down. Suddenly, my chest tightened violently, and an indescribable force gripped my heart. My entire body lost control instantly, and I collapsed to the ground.I struggled to support myself and tried to stand up, but without exception, I failed. I slumped to the ground, sweat covering my forehead. The wolf inside me let out a terrified yelp, marking the first time I had ever encountered such a situation."Jeremy..."I shouted towards the door, but my voice was weak, and I waited for a long time with no response. Just as I was becoming disheartened, a horrifying thought sprang into my mind."Did something happen to Freya?"With this thought, I used my hands to brace my body vigorously and slowly managed to rise from the gr

Freya's POVThree months later, two noblewomen strolled into a perfume boutique in Norma."I'm sure that this perfume boutique is the finest in Norma, especially with this new fragrance from their collection," remarked one of the noblewomen.A stunning lady in a purple gown gracefully picked up a bottle of blue perfume and delicately took a whiff, a subtle expression of contentment gracing her features."It contains rose oil and clove, but I detect something else..." She paused, scrunching her nose in thought. "Could it be spiced lemon?"The other lady, adorned in a yellow gown, inquired, "Is that it?"The pair shook their heads in unison, their expressions pensive."It's actually rosemary," I offered as I stepped forward and gently took the perfume bottle from the beautiful woman."How can that be?""Indeed!" The beautiful woman was about to protest when an elderly man in a dark suit emerged from the back room, his

Kingsley's POV"Alpha, what made you decide to buy this perfume? Despite Alice's reputation, this one seems to have missed the mark."Jeremy glanced at me through the rearview mirror, a hint of confusion passing over his face."I can't say for sure, but whenever I smell this scent, it feels oddly familiar. I just can't recall where I've encountered it before."I rubbed my eyes, feeling a bit tired after a day of running around.I came to Norma on business and was going back today, and I was going to bring a gift for a friend, but instead I was unexpectedly attracted to this perfume."Alpha, are you still missing...""Jeremy!"I interrupted Jeremy with a cold tone, afraid of what name might come out of his mouth.Jeremy shrunk back and nodded apologetically."By the way, when you were paying earlier, an older gentleman mentioned that Alice wanted to thank you in person and asked if you had a moment.""Thank me? For what?"I
