.....     After an hour of discussion, Colt and Moss were done. Then Moss called an all-hands meeting with his and Colt's packs. Everyone then proceeded to the training ground because there were too many of them to fit inside Moss cabin.     The gathering began after that. Inside the training area, Colt and Moss informed their packs about the approaching battle against the rogues and them. Some were taken aback, while others were well aware of their circumstances. And it took them nearly three hours to end their meeting.     "Let's have a toss, Colt," Moss said. "I wanted to congratulate you on having a mate."     They were on their way out of the practice field then. Their packs were also following them from behind.     "You know I'm not a drinker," Colt emphasized.     Moss protes

......   Colt said his goodbyes and informed Lilith that he still had a lot of work to do after their phone talk, and Lilith believed him because she didn't know what Colt and the others were up to.     After that, Lilith went directly to bed. Tio and Carla were still watching her as she slept with a smile on her lips. The two were also relieved to find Lilith in such good spirits. However, their concerns remained, and they were apprehensive that Lilith was unaware of what was going on around her.       Carla felt terrible, but she couldn't help herself because Colt had chosen to keep everything from Lilith. Aside from that, Carla was confident that Lilith would be recovered in no time. And when the time comes, they'll be able to reveal their true selves to Lilith.       "You seem preoccupied, Carla," Tio said, staring at Carla. "Why do

.....     "Is there something wrong here? Is it just me or has the ambiance really gotten colder?" Nissy asks, breaking the silence between them.     "Put that glass down right now and quit drinking," Vaan said sternly.     Vaan doesn't want to force Bianki to do anything, but he also can't let her do whatever she wants, especially drink too much. Vaan was fully aware of what Bianki would do if she became inebriated. And he doesn't want to muck things up when they're supposed to be doing their duties and taking things seriously. But, in her current state, Bianki appears to be uncaring, which is why Vaan was unhappy.     "Come on, Nissy," Bianki murmured as she continued to drink, utterly ignoring Vaan.       Kiela and Nissy, on the other hand, are at a loss for words. They were baffled as to what was go

.....     Colt and Lilith had communicated over the video call for about two days. And Colt hadn't responded to Lilith after he asked her two days before. As a result, Lilith grew depressed and believed Colt was truly angry with her. Colt had asked her to bear his child for the third time, and she couldn't forget it.       Carla was still thinking about it, as was she. And when she looked at Lilith, she couldn't help but feel concerned and guilty.       Tio then saw Carla and Lilith were also silent. As a result, he was becoming increasingly intrigued. "Is something wrong, Carla? You and Lilith have been quiet for two days now," Tio inquired.     Carla asked, throwing a glance at Tio, "Do you want to know?"     And when Tio noticed Carla's seriousness, he became concerned and perplexed at t

.....     As soon as Tio saw Lilith enter the kitchen, he said, "Good morning, Lilith."     "Good morning, Tio and Victus," Lilith said as she took a seat in the chair. "Where is Carla?" she inquired.     "She's out for today," Victus replied, smiling, "and she also stated she needed to finish some drugs she was manufacturing."     Lilith said, "Umh... Ok."     Without Carla, Lilith felt as though she couldn't do anything. Carla was accustomed to always being by her side and accompanying her. She was aware, though, that she would have to learn to manage herself on her own. She also learned to do things without the help of others.     Victus inquired, "What do you want to do today, Lilith?"     Tio was already washing the dishes when they had finishe
